So frustrating.&nbsp;</p> <p>Crossing fingers that brick and mortar will work or that you have some other online options.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-situation/page/2#post-1583839 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 10:08:23 +0000 Helen11 1583839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've admired, but never bought, Ziera shoes. I just had a look at their website. Some great summer styles, but the prices are certainly more than I'd usually pay! Hope you have success soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-situation/page/2#post-1583737 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 00:14:02 +0000 rachylou 1583737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first blue ones are cute indeed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-situation/page/2#post-1583622 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 14:52:45 +0000 Angie 1583622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the first blues sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-situation/page/2#post-1583615 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 14:01:00 +0000 anne 1583615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Helen, I certainly remember C and even D fittings, so we may share the same age!! And I have had good luck with most the brands that you mention.</p> <p>I have bought several pairs of Ziera shoes which fit orthotics which I tend to wear in winter. In summer I'm naughtier and tend not to wear the orthotics and try to get by with something cheaper.</p> <p>UF - yes good points again.</p> <p>And from way up the thread YES deborah, how wonderful it would be if we could shop together!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-situation#post-1583612 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 13:44:31 +0000 unfrumped 1583612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And for sandals, the shape of the sole or footbed is so much a part of the look- it's not just straps fit.<br /> I've got some sandals that I keep hanging onto because of how well they suit my foot shape so I like the outline they give my foot. This means not just outlining my exact poor foot shape, but enhancing it while still fitting! HEWI's for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-situation#post-1583588 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 11:49:31 +0000 Astrid 1583588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They do look too tight. I wouldn't experiment with them, your sandals need to be workhorses and should be comfortable from the start. I hope you have more luck shopping B&amp;M. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-situation#post-1583580 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 11:03:43 +0000 Anonymous 1583580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is lovely, but perhaps a teensy bit snug. I wonder if you could do the potato trick and stretch them a little as I like the style for you a lot </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-situation#post-1583573 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 10:50:27 +0000 Helen11 1583573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish more shoes came in a C fitting again ( or is that just showing my age?) Love the style of all these esp the colour of 1 and 2, but can see they are tight on your forefoot.<br /> Do you know brands that work for you? I like Hush Puppies, DianaFerrari supersoft, and Easy Steps. Though my heel might be fairly wide, too.<br /> I also should check the local podiatrist, they always have a lovely window display (of shoes!) when I drive past.<br /> Good luck with the search next week. Wish I could join you! Even if you don't find the perfect shoes, maybe you'll find some brands to chase up online. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-situation#post-1583528 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 04:22:44 +0000 anne 1583528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes. UF you've nailed my foot issues! Oh and high arches too which is probably why I can't do the second pair up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-situation#post-1583521 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 04:12:28 +0000 unfrumped 1583521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh dear, this is likely frustrating.<br /> 1&amp; 3 are cute styles and great colors but don't appear quite cut for your foot. Looks like you have narrow heel relative to forefoot so you need good fit through the heel to not slide around, but then forefoot is a little squished. For me that would be a recipe for blisters down the road. If you have the patience, I would look for a brand that has more your shape. It's worth finding makers that " get your feet". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-situation#post-1583492 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 03:01:23 +0000 anne 1583492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would love to hear your opinions </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-situation#post-1583233 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 13:03:41 +0000 anne 1583233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They've come!! Here are some pics.</p> <p>At this stage I'm not sure about any of them. All are a little too tight at the ball if my feet which is always a problem but maybe more so in these non leather shoes.<br /> The first is most likely of them to be a keeper though not that comfortable either. The second one is very appealing visually but I can't reach to do the strap up.<br /> I have finally got a mostly free day this Thurs so will check out the shops carol bee and Deb have mentioned </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-situation#post-1583222 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 12:07:58 +0000 Beth Ann 1583222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad to learn you've found some possibilities.&nbsp; I have more sandals than I need every summer&nbsp; -- mostly because I have a habit of destroying shoes.&nbsp; It can be so frustrating to lose a key pair mid-season, but so difficult to budget for more than is necessary!&nbsp; I've managed with cheap sandals so far, but my feet are demanding better these days!</p> <p>Each of the three pair you've ordered is a great choice.&nbsp; Let us know how it turns out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-situation#post-1583207 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 10:27:07 +0000 Bijou 1583207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you like Wittner shoes, you can buy them at their outlet store at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.heelsteal.com.au">http://www.heelsteal.com.au</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-situation#post-1583205 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 10:18:34 +0000 Kiwimom 1583205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous sandals Anne. And thanks for pointing me to Styletread Deborah. I live in a rural area and don't get many opportunities to shop in store, so always great to find a good online option which has free deliveries and returns to NZ. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-situation#post-1582499 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 13:29:29 +0000 carolbee 1582499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck, hope something works for you .

I have had good experiences with styletread, and also with ordering from The Iconic. I also recently ordered shoes from Rivers online and returned to the local shop. Shoes are tricky for me at the best of times. I sort of count on retuning at least half the ones I order<br /> : ( . Looking forward to seeing your new ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-situation#post-1582453 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 09:19:51 +0000 Anonymous 1582453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Anne, I love what you ordered!

Deb's given you some great options. And I am with her -- LOCAL online ordering with free returns (if you can find this) makes it totally worthwhile. At the very least you can rule things in and out and learn how various brands fit you (or don't). I have found a few online options here in Canada that work for me and I depend upon them because brick and mortar is just impossible where I live.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-situation#post-1582398 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 03:18:36 +0000 Sal 1582398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh I like the last one for you Anne!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-situation#post-1582391 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 02:50:31 +0000 anne 1582391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Deborah Thanks!!!&nbsp;- I will check these out.
