Sandal Help
I need to get a pair of flip flops that are cute but also really comfortable. I wear flip flops like crazy all summer and last year my feet about died by the end of the year from wearing really flat, cheapo flip flops. I have a high arch so I need something wtih good support.
DH recommended Ecco or Chaco both of which didn't have anything I liked. I want something in a neutral, maybe with a cute embellishment on it? Any recs for brands I can check out?

Re: Sandal Help
Reefs!!! I love, love, love them and live in them all summer. They have a bit of arch support in them, which is why they work for me, and I think they are cute. They sell them at Von Maur and possibly Dillards.
ETA: These are my favorite ones and the ones with the arch support.

I LOVE my Reefs! I have 3 pairs fo the sportier ones. During the summer I would take walks in these instead of my tennis shoes. If you want to try them on let me know and I'll bring them to you.
Mine are like these: http://www.zappos.com/reef-fanning-w-black-pink-stripes
I HIGHLY recommend the Sanuk brand. I wear flip flops year round (living in HI) and have several pairs of the Sanuk sandals. My favorite are the "yoga mat" style. The sole is made of the same material as a yoga mat and are sooooo comfortable. I have really bad feet, normally I can't wear flip flops because my feet will ache from wearing anything without arch support. But I walk all day in my Sanuks and my feet don't hurt at the end of the day.
I think you can find them cheaper sometimes through Amazon vs. the Sanuk site.
Here's the link to the sandals that I wear the most! http://www.sanuk.com/yoga-mat

I wear birkenstock sandals (I know what you're thinking - I'm really not a hippy!)

I have these in black patent leather - and I wear them ALL summer. I will probably have to get another pair this year.
I had this same problem for years. I am a HUGE flip flop fan and was bummed at the thought of having to give up my flip flops. I first went with these without the flower: http://www.famousfootwear.com/Shopping/ProductDetails.aspx?p=72787&pg=1023240
Then last year I got these Bikrenstocks and LOVED them! I wore them ALL.SUMMER.LONG and had no back problems. I am going to get the same style but in another color for this year: http://www.zappos.com/birkenstock-gizeh-black-patent-birko-flor-trade
Good Luck!
LOL, I didn't see this before I posted!! LOVE these shoes!!!!
you have excellent taste in sandals! I agree - they require a little "breaking in" but once you do I'm almost more comfortable in those shoes than I am barefoot anymore!
