Reddit mentions: The best slide sandals for women

Fantastic! It's great to see contributions that branch out from the US.

I'd like to support the post with extracts from my shopping basket. I'm not trying to shoehorn my way in here, but I have to take the opportunity to mention some simillar items.

TOP

Alternative to the Burton jumper

It's a tenner more (they're always in some kind of offer) and the difference in quality is significant. Good choice of colours, feels great and the fit is a little adjustable, too. If you wash it cold (30-40C) and then wear it straight after for half an hour (or as long as you want!) it will re-form around you. I use these in autumn and spring, too, and for work as a well as casual wear. They've earnt the praise in my eyes. £25

I can't find it exactly, but this is nearly the shirt I picked up from Debenhams recently. Light blue, good thick cotton, button down lapel, but white buttons. The thing to remember about the British summer is that it's often not that warm. Evenings on the beach with a stiff breeze or a park barbecue call for reduced layers but something with the thickness to bounce the wind off if you need it. I tend to keep my mouth shut for the shame of being told to "man up", but I bloody hate the cold and denying that summer isn't always warm has never worked for me. £36 (mine was £27 with an introductory offer)

BOTTOM

I can only support the H&M trousers choice

Be warned, the lack of sizing options means that they're likely to be a little long on guys up to 5'9". Not a problem for rolling up, but it takes the choice away if you ever want to wear them without cuffs. I use them as "throw away" chinos. Going to the park? Weatherspoons? A student night? If it's somewhere you're likely to get something spilt on you, grass stains or other concerns, I take the H&Ms out. £20

On the other hand, I wear these as a staple for when I'm not mucking around. They're likely to give way to shorts as the weather warms up, but get them measured and taken up in shop (free of charge) and the range of sizing and fit options means you'll get a great fitting pair of trousers out of it. £35

Pink and blue, I love them! I have a problem with shorts. Because I'm a shorter man (5'8", ladies) I struggle to find a pair of above-the-kness that actually sit above the knees. However, if you pick up a pair of these when you stop by uniqlo to buy trousers, and you're very nice to the always pretty lady behind the counter, there's a good chance they'll take them up a bit for you when they do your trousers. Pro tip. Light blue should not be warn with the light blue oxford shirt. £20

Belt me. A nice, plain leather belt for holding things up and tucking things in. I have a belt extremely simillar to this which I can't remember where I bought it; it has served me well, and when it wears out I shall buy another. £13

Belt me, too. Wear it with the same outfit as the above belt, and you've immediately changed the look. Switching small accessories like belt and shoes can help stave off an outfit becoming stale quickly. This belt is a little bit last season but I still like it. Also, it's cheap as chips. £13

SHOES

Sperrys of some form. This is non-negotiable; they won't let you down, and they'll make you a man, my son. I have oatmeal ones (I also like the look of the navy/dark brown styles), as I prefer lighter colours, but I don't know where to get them online as I picked them up from a local shoe shop for £35 because the box was hidden under all the shoes in the world and had been mis-priced as a result. Sometimes, I feel guilty about this, but then I look at my shoes and think damn, luck is sexy. Expect to pay £50-70 if you shop around.

Ok, not quite shoes but combine with the Sperry's for a look I'm still not sure if I like. I actually thoroughly reccomend next's sock range for a cheap way to inject colour in to your footwear. £12-15 for 5

A word on sandals: Be. Exceedingly. Careful.

No. You will look like a hippy. Some people like the flippity-flop look, but I'm not a fan. It just looks the wrong kind of laid back.

Definitely no. These sorts of sandals (and simillar) are probably comfortable, reliable and hardwearing, but beware: even without socks, you look like the kind of person who takes holiday planning way too seriously.

Awww, hell no. I don't even feel the need to justify this.

This is the very borderline of acceptable for me, although I am likely anti-sandal due to finding it very hard to pull them off (personally) and 90% of the time seeing others fail to do so. I'd say something like this with neat, clean lines and a solid build quality would work when justified by the environment (beach, some form of hiking), but otherwise avoid unless very confident. If you are going to wear them, please don't forget to clean your feet of any dodgy nails, skin or random stains. £70

This sort of thing also gets me going at the moment. Again, warnings about mixing blues here, but this is given more as an indication of the style than a specific pair. I think it's been mentioned elsewhere, but the smart suede shoes/shorts combination is really getting me going at the moment. Ankle/invisible socks are a must. £45

I love Birkenstocks but I know that not everyone else does. Earth shoes are also super comfortable! For this weekend you might want to go to a brick and mortar store so you can try them on in person before buying. Target sometimes has cute sandals! I love the dress, by the way. :)

Clarks makes some extremely cute, comfortable sandals in the ~$30-$60 price range and you can buy them on Amazon. They come in many different widths as well. I've got these and these and I love them! I also have a pair of their loafers (these) and they're awesome too. All are super comfy and can support long walks.

I have terrible feet, and Birkenstock sandals have the best support out of all the brands I've tried (and my podiatrist approves). I wore the Larisa almost every day this summer and am very pleased. They do look a little clunky, but to me the comfort is definitely it (and I tend to wear maxi dresses/skirts anyway, so the shoes aren't so visible).

I also have a pair of the Bern clogs with the soft footbed for wearing around the dorm (I need arch support pretty much all the time) and oh my goodness they are so comfy. I wish the cuter sandal styles also came in soft footbed :(

I love Clark’s! I’ve been living in these lately, would be good for travel:

Also I second the other comments about Tevas. I have a pair that I use for longer hikes or water activities and I just use them like water shoes. They are great for lots of walking in tourist situations.

Oh, man. I have a constantly lengthening wishlist, but I've been keeping a little bit of an eye on some particular pieces that I'd love to own:

• The Moonchild Skater Dress in Black Flower by Motel This dress is so cute, I could scream. It's a total dream night-on-the-town dress.
  
• Arizona Sandals by Birkenstock I just got my first pair of Birkenstocks, and I already want a second.
  
• The Xanadu Maxi Skirt in Opal by Spell Designs They just dropped the collection this skirt is from, Island Boho, and it's so beautiful.
  
• The Sequoia Fringe Bag by Native Rainbow I am so in love with this bag, it's just so expensive...I know I'll pull the trigger on it sooner or later.
  
• The Wilding Shag by The Lovers and the Drifters Club Gaze upon this jacket, ye Mighty, and despair.
  
  A couple things I'm pining over that I definitely don't need, but want so badly.

I have two pairs of the sola fitflops, they’re leather slides with really, really nice cushioning. highly recommend!

These seem like they are vegan. Hopefully they actually are!

They're out there, just waiting for you!

Love both fits, your jeans game is on point.

FYI, you can buy Birkenstocks for $90 from Amazon.com, sold and shipped from Amazon (so it is eligible for Amazon Prime)

I just got these Birkstenstock EVA Madrid shoes and they are soooo light. Perfect slide for summer.

I've done a lot of supportive shoes out there for vacations and there's a pair of Crocs sandals and a pair of Crocs flats that do so much better than most sneakers for my feet. Someone on the Disney forums suggested the Cleo to me as good for water rides and walking. A decade later they are still fantastic, though just for around the house because they have seen some shit. I should probably rebuy before they disappear forever.

People on Amazon seem to like these madden girl ones a lot. 4.5 stars with 585 reviews.

I got a pair of rose gold Madden Girl Birkenstock style sandals last summer and lived in them the past two summers, they’re so comfy and cute! I hot another rose gold pair earlier this summer but haven’t worn them yet. Here’s a link to the same style on amazon but in different colors (looks like rose gold is all sold out but there are a lot of other cute colors):

(Sorry for the formatting, I’m on mobile)

The only thing is I noticed the inside of the straps was rubbing my feet uncomfortably at first so I cut some moleskin and stuck it on the underside where I was being rubbed, and I haven’t had any issues!

Can these shoes be business casual? What about the higher heel version?

Birkenstock’s also make EVA sandals, which look like crocs and birks has a baby: Birkenstock Unisex Arizona Essentials EVA Black Sandals - 38 N https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XHPBW56/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_4XYTCb5D28WVD

Here are some Jerkenstocks on amazon.

Buy a whole bunch. That will show them. Wait what?

Sanuk or Birkenstock
