Comfortable Summer Shoes

Morning everyone,

I still seem to be having an ongoing problem finding comfortable shoes for the summer! I am spending ridiculous amounts of money buying different shoes, which at first feel comfortable, and then begin to hurt my feet. I'm desperate to find a pair I can wear all year round, but particularly in the summer. I've found these on the Clarks website...

Does anybody have them & recommend them? I like to do a lot of walking in the summer, but it's just not possible when I can't find any comfortable shoes!

Does anybody have any other recommendations for comfortable shoes?

Thanks in advance!

    How about a pair of walking sandles? not the prettiest but they should be comfy! My mum wears hers all summer. You can get them from places like Millets/Blacks etc.

    I have them :D:D:D

    BUT...I also work for Clarks...:rotfl:

    But I still LOVE them...they are my work shoes...really really comfortabubble and soft and nice :)

    You can order them online to be delivered to your local shop and then try them on in the store...just because they are comfortable for me doesn't mean they'll be comfy for you :)
    Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...

    Thank you. I've been into store today and found some similar in the sale but they still rub my feet, unfortunately, the little bit of trying on in the shop doesn't seem to be enough to know whether they are good enough or not. I'm hoping they will get better as I wear them in, but it hurts to wear them - catch 22 really!!

    you have 28 days to return them as long as they haven't been worn outside/are able to be sold again.

    Wear them around the house for 20mins/half an hour - that will hopefully give you a better idea of whether they will rub :)

    Which ones did you buy? (not that I'm nosey or anything :D )

    These look like a similar kind of thing to the ones I've been looking at. Please can you let me know if you still find them comfortable after you've used them a bit more?

    I have some of these, but unfortunately the toe post is an issue for me :(
