I've been yearning for weather warm enough to wear pumps.
Boots are comfy, but I am getting bored of the "skinnies plus boots" look already (especially since the ice has req'd flat boots and I'd probably break my neck wearing heels). I yearn to jazz things up with pretty, interesting pumps - peep toes, t-straps, etc - in a punch of color.
That's not to say I will buy more pumps this spring. On my spring footwear wishlist: silver ballet flats. Probably Me-too's, or Cole Haan, since I find them comfortable and 8-hour walkable. And possibly silver pumps or wedges - something with a heel. If I can find those two shoes, I'd done and anything else is icing on the cake.
The pair of sandals I bought last year still look good as new and are surprisingly comfy - though I'm not sure I could pound the city streets all day long, day after day, in them. They have no arch support or anything. But, they are strappy and yet the straps are soft and don't dig in anywhere.
My opinion about comfy sandals: you just can't order over the web. What works for me, may not work for you. It's highly, HIGHLY individual. It's those darn straps!!! Everyone's foot is different. Strappy sandals that are comfy for me, may rub in all the wrong places for someone else, and vice versa. (How many bones are in the human foot?)
Maya - I would definetly recommend trying out the Privo's. You may also want to check out Cole Haan - their Air Nike sandals. It's hit or miss for me - my feet are rather wide, and many of their strappier styles will dig in annoyingly right where my feet are wide. However, when I can find a pair that is wide enough, my feet thank me because of the Air Nike sole.
I have one pair of CH black sandals, which I rarely wear anymore because YLF convinced me black sandals weren't all that fashionable.... BUT, if they were metallic or white.... I'd still be wearing them!! I wore them three seasons in a row, and while they did show wear, I took them to a cobbler and they came back good as new. I've worn them all over in our travels and walking in the city, and they are true 8-hour shoes. I just wish they weren't black... because I'd still be wearing them.
