I posted a thread last week ago about my great white sandal hunt http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....dal-search and in the last three days have tried on probably upwards of 20 pairs of white sandals. I've tried on smooth leather, patent leather, mixed leather with straw or cork, wedge heeled, kitten heeled, no heeled, ankle strap, thong style, slide on, strappy, dainty, chunky and they have all been lovely and that have all been UNCOMFORTABLE. Seriously uncomfortable. Either the ankle straps hit me in the wrong spot or they're too narrow to accommodate my newly acquired baby bunion or they don't have a soft footbed, etc.

So I went back to the thread I linked to above and decided to try on pair #3 (the Fugitive sandal with the bone closed toe and silver criss cross straps). There wasn't a lot of love for these from the forum but at this point, I figured nothing ventured, nothing gained right?

I tried them on last night and you know how I commented that my new Blondo sandals are a 10 out of 10 on the comfort scale? Well these Fugitive sandals are a 20. I swear I could feel my feet say "aaaaahhhhhh" when I put them on. They are the perfect width to accommodate my bunion, the footbed is positively luxurious and spongy, the heel doesn't come up too high on the back and there isn't a pinch or rub anywhere on my foot. They are not a true white but a bone colour and have a hint of sci-fi with the silver straps and a silver cap on the back of the foot. IMO they would work with both casual wear and dresses/skirts. They won't work for very dressy but in all honesty, I don't need a lot of dressy for the warm months.

So I bought them and here they are with the dress/white denim jacket combo that got me thinking about white sandals in the first place. I fully realize they will not be everyone's cuppa but comfort has ruled here. I will also admit that I really like how different they are from what else I've seen and yet I find them still quite ladylike. I am interested to hear what you think of the style both generally and for me but I guess I should point out that unless y'all say they are "buck ugly", they are staying based on pure comfort and fun factor.

BTW I did find the Nine West sandals (sandal #2 in my original thread) and they were way too narrow for the front of my foot and the ankle strap was much too high for me.
