You want to look for a few things when shopping for everyday shoes. You want them to be versatile enough to wear with many potential outfits. You want to like them, of course, and not just be trendy buys you tire of after a few months. And, most importantly, you want them to be comfy.
With all that in mind, might I suggest a pair of sandals I have that tick all of those boxes? They’re the Bared Footwear Sanderlings ($149). They’re flat sandals, made with rubber and with a gold-hardware buckle for the ankle strap. They come in seven colours, but I have them in black.
Rubber’s a tricky material for a shoe, in that it can easily slip on the pavement. It can also be uncomfortable, rubbing against your skin, and too casual-looking for a nice event. I can confirm: These sandals do and aren’t any of those things other rubber sandals can be guilty of. But don’t just take my word for it.
“These rubber sandals are amazing, super elevated style with the gold buckle, they don’t even look rubber,” wrote one reviewer online. “Super comfortable for the beach, but equally as good to go out for dinner in them.”
Another shared: “These are my favourite sandals. I want to purchase multiple colours now. I can wear these all day at work and not feel any foot pain. My job requires a lot of standing and walking so these are perfect.”
Some other shoes from the Bared range I’m loving:
Mamo, now $219, was $279
These low heels would be great for work but also seem so comfy that you could run for the bus in them. They come in four colours, but I’d get the off-white.
Surfbird, $249
These ballet flats come in nine colours and styles, but I’d go for the lipstick red mesh. They’d add so much interest to an outfit.
Lari, $249
These sandals, which come in black and brown (I’d go for the brown), are an investment piece. You could wear them for years.
