Hoping someone here can help me. I'm looking for a good, black, walking sandal. I want it to be practical but also nice looking. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Inexpensive and non-trendy but these Skechers sandals are so comfortable I have them in two colors. I’ve walked miles and miles in them with no issues. a.co/d/3Tda5MT |

I have two pairs that I like. Chacos and Tevas. Chacos This style which does come in a black strap. Tevas This exact pair. I like color and these are so cute. I wore them after a day of hiking and they felt so good. I explored Pamplona in them with no problems. They can definitely be found in black. I will say, my feet needed to adjust to the Chacos. A lot of people that wear them have said that. So if you are getting them for a trip then I would suggest getting them ahead of time to get used to them. |

I can get this style in Australia. My feet love Skechers. Are these these really sparkly? Unfortunately, I can't get the other Skechers ones here, nor the Chacos. |

No, it's more of a subtle sheen than a sparkle. |

It’s a toss up between my Tevas and my Taos sandals. I have one Teva because they are sportier looking, but two pairs of Taos. The vamp of my foot is rather tall and I like the adjustability of the Velcro.
I have The Show sandals in teal and Beauty in white. My Tevas are too old to be on their site, but the footbed is similar for them all.
I also have two pairs of Taos Freedom sneakers and their Ringer combat boot and love them all. The boot is still stiff though, even after a few years and isn’t always good for all day, but it is weatherproof.

I have a different version of Taos sandals, but I agree- they are super comfy and have held up incredibly well. Super well made! |

Thanks for all the input. I ended up with these. They were the most comfortable in the bunch (I have some foot issues while I wait for surgery). Sandals |

I cant wear Sketchers for long. They hurt my back.
I have ECCO sandals that have been all over the world with me. My sister swears by TEVA.

I’ve walked miles and miles in them with no issues. a.co/d/3Tda5MTI have these in a couple colors and LOVE them. I also got the same sandal, but in the 'step in' model. Wow! You can just step in them. I love them when I pick up my grandkid from daycare. I have to remove my shoes, and I can just step back into these while holding him. Never need to use your hands to slip the straps on. Go Walk Skechers Slip In |

More city walkers than hikers, but I absolutely live in FitFlops all summer long (and have winter ones as well). Anything w/ the "microwobbleboard" tech/footbed has great arch support, is cushioned for good hard surface walking without being TOO soft, and works well for wide feet. I have probably 20 pairs (buy them on sale/clearance!) and they're my go-tos for everything, including an annual festival where I'm on my feet for nearly 20 hours a day several days in a row.

An ad for Taos Big Time sandals just popped up on my Facebook feed. They look really good! If I had more time (and more money!) I would buy some for our trip next week. They're $140 AUD on Amazon and $170 AUD from the Taos Australia site. I am going to keep my eye on them, and see if they're cheaper next Prime Day or Black Friday. |

Chacos Z2 wide width. Wonderfully comfortable for walking or hiking or kayaking.
ETA: I got in on a yearly 30% off deal to customize my Chaco with different patterns and buckles to choose from and they make me happy every time I look at them.

So... how many of us who are not the OP ended up buying sandals from this thread? I ordered the Sketchers that Librarylady linked. Shhhh!!!!!! I ordered the ones Darcy Collins posted for my trip to NYC the week of Labor Day and 'maybe' a pair or two of Skechers ( I think my feet look stupid in sandals that dont have the toe (flip flop strap, not sure what it would be called) So I was excited to see some on this tread. I might have bought to many pairs |
