Yay or nay?

Greysanatomyfan · June 29, 2012, 10:27pm

I wanted to get good walking shoes because my current sandals are ridiculously bad on my feet… so I bought a pair of these:

Except now I’m wondering if they’re too masculine and if I should return them and get these instead:

The only problem with the single strap is that they aren’t as comfortable as the ones I bought already. I don’t really like how my feet flap about in them…

Opinions please? I’m 24 and a girl if that’s relevant at all. Also, I won’t necessarily get these colors, it’s the number of straps I’m concerned with.

Don't forget arch support when considering walking shoes.

Re: Yay or nay?

Yeah, that's one of the main reasons for getting these shoes... they're supposed to offer incredible arch support.

Neither. Get something cute and comfy from Sketchers or Aerosoles

Re: Yay or nay?

True, but I want sandals, not closed shoes… it’s too hot for those.

Re: Yay or nay?

Am checking those out, thank you. But if you had to choose out of the two I posted...?

Re: Yay or nay?

You'll probably get more support from the first ones because of double straps. The second ones might be comfortable but I doubt they will be good for lots of walking. Personally I would go for something similar to number 1 but with a strap around the ankle for extra support and a brighter colour.

Yay or nay?

Fitflops? There supposed to be good

Yes i second fitflops if u can get pair no1 exchanged for them. They are a good arch support and gentle on joints whilst walking.:)

I love my birkenstocks, they're really comfy. The first ones are supposed to be 'unisex'. Maybees get them in a different colour?

Re: Yay or nay?

Ended up returning the double strap and going for the Gizeh style (the thong sandals). That way my feet don't flap around, and still look as feminine as they can! Thank you for your help everyone! :)
