Hi Teresa,
This is the type of shoe I meant. What is great is at the moment a lot of places are doing a wedge sole so the bottom is really stable too.

SB it's not my ankle that I broke but the middle of my foot - so the insole is more important to me than whether there is a strap. An enclosed ankle really isn't a sandal ]]> Fri, 28 Sep 2007 09:25:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11010&PID=220604&title=shoe-shopping#220604 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11010&PID=220596&title=shoe-shopping#220596 Author: Sarah Beth

Shoes are not my taste, and from someone with a terrible ankel problem I would say get a strap that goes over the top of your foot, not a sling back. I have some sling back shoes that are fine for a short time (very low heal as well), but by the end of the day at work my foot is killing me and at times hurts to walk to the car. (to be fair, but foot is stuffed though)]]> Fri, 28 Sep 2007 08:57:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11010&PID=220596&title=shoe-shopping#220596 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11010&PID=220509&title=shoe-shopping#220509 Author: BSDH

um, i think you look like a 24 yr old in granny shoes.
i personally also dont think that sandals are corporate or that they should be worn with stockings. oh and they dont look very supportive to me. you'd prob be better off with something flatter with a covered in toe, like "georgia" on this page here of the kumfs site. and then getting some fun sandals for casual.

Okay, I need your opinions. I went shopping this morning for some sandals and perhaps I should have tried a few more shops but I still shop with three preschoolers in tow. Anyway, I don't have any sandals for summer and with work coming up I decided it was time to get some. So my (difficult) shopping list was something like this:

* preferably can dress up with/without stockings for work, as well as dress down with jeans for comfy wear through summer

* has to fit well and be very supportive (because of having broken my foot earlier this year due to ill-fitting (floppy) sandals)

* lowish heel because I haven't worn any heel since March!

* I don't HAVE to wear stockings with them, my main shopping list item is that they must be cool for summer but nice enough to wear in an office (legal sec position).

So here's what I got...



Now tell me: Are they alright or do I look like a 24yo with "Grandma shoes"? I know there are heaps younger looking sandals out there but I need more support than most of them offer.

Tell me your honest opinion while I still have the receipt LOL!
