I like fisherman sandals, too, and I'm keeping an eye out for something with a closed toe (or as closed as you get with a fisherman weave). I especially like the Fly and Sorel you've ordered.&nbsp;</div><div>I will add: if I find something that fits, it can be really hard for me to resist the almost-right style in situations like this!&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kicking-myself#post-2410987 Tue, 21 Apr 2026 16:11:48 +0000 Suz 2410987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a version of the Sorels back when -- they wore out after three hard years in constant rotation -- I liked them! They were very comfortable. I also saw a version of the ones you show recently and they looked super fun. I might be in need of something similar this summer myself. I'd prefer something "in between" -- not quite as chunky as this but not flat, either. I hope you have luck with these!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kicking-myself#post-2410984 Tue, 21 Apr 2026 15:55:23 +0000 kellygirl 2410984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love a chunky white sandal but usually opt for a darker sole because I can never keep the white ones clean. Of the four you've shown, I like the last two the best for you. They look sleeker than the Flys. I hope you find one that ticks all the boxes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kicking-myself#post-2410980 Tue, 21 Apr 2026 14:40:27 +0000 Janet 2410980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Lise! I’m crossing fingers those work — or one of them! </p> <p>Lisa, I never think to look at Quince, having never tried them, but it’s a good source for many people! I like the look of some Birks I see, but they do not work with my feet at all — I think I have low arches and never really thought about it much until I tried Birks and found them incredibly painful! </p> <p>I know lower profile sandals and shoes are trending, and I enjoy those with summer skirts and dresses, and full-length pants, but sometimes they feel too insubstantial, especially when I wear shorts. Now that I got a new pair of shorts that I really like, the need for a couple of visually-heavier sandals comes through. I think they balance out my thick legs a little better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kicking-myself#post-2410979 Tue, 21 Apr 2026 14:13:57 +0000 LJP 2410979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sandals with a substantial white sole are essential for me - I love the look and do not care if lower profile , "quieter" shoes are trendier right now. &nbsp;The sandals themselves don't need to be white but the soles do. &nbsp;I have the crazy Sorel's in your last pic with a slightly different upper but with that exact sole. Mine are all white with orange and green bits. &nbsp; I couldn't decide if I hated or loved them and wavered on returning them when I first bought them a few years ago, but I get compliments and comments every time I wear them - which is neither here nor there as I don't live for compliments on what I wear - but .......</p> <p>I have had that Fly Liku (or something very similar from Fly) too and enjoyed them. &nbsp;</p> <p>I just ordered a pair of chunky fisherman sandals from Quince - in black though and I don't think white was an option - and can't wait to get them . &nbsp;If it ever stops threatening to snow every 3 days here.... </p> <p>Oh - eta to add that Birkenstock has the Arizona in a chunky version with a white lug sole that's very cute. &nbsp;Maybe too casual for you though? &nbsp;I'd love a pair and in fact might have to take my own advice here :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kicking-myself#post-2410976 Tue, 21 Apr 2026 13:54:18 +0000 Star (Lise) 2410976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No suggestions but gosh those silver and white platforms in the first pic will make an excellent bookend with your hair. They are stunning. I hope they work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kicking-myself#post-2410974 Tue, 21 Apr 2026 13:47:21 +0000 Janet 2410974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I gave away my white lug-soled fisherman sandals at the end of last summer because they were seeming a little worse for wear, and I’d tired of them a bit. Now I wish I still had them! Something about the presence of a substantial-soled white sandal is appealing to me this season, even though it might not be trending hard anymore. I think I’m seeking some edge, but in a white sandal, which is hard to find. Not so flat. I have white flip-flops and I’m not feeling them yet (I think they will come back into rotation later, in the summer months).</p> <p>I ordered these to try, but several years ago I tried some Fly London and the fit was too wide. The vibe is what I like, and my feet may have changed a little, so I decided to try again. Also thinking of those crazy Sorels because Sorel has worked for me well in the past, and the Nero Giardini ones. The platforms add a bit more presence. </p> <p>Any other suggestions to try? </p>
