Sandal Help
I'm on a hunt for new sandals. I want to get two pairs.
First pair, sandals that can be worn w/ dress pants or dressy clothes @ work. I have espedrillas, but I'm looking for something a little more comfortable.
Second pair, a pair I can wear shopping, around the house, and just casually. Sort of flip flop style.
Please recommend your sandals and pictures would be awesome! I know you girls have great taste!!!!

I just got these, but I haven't tried them on yet, so I have no idea if they are comfortable.

That is quite a broad spectrum. Can you narrow it down a little? For the dressy pair, do you want black? How high of a heel?
For the casual pair, what color?
Do you have a price range for either of them?
Sorry - that was vague. I am thinking the dressy pair should be black and the casual in brown. I tried going to endless & DSW to post pictures, but it won't work. I'll do the links instead. I think this side heel is good, especially since I'm pregnant.

I have Espedrillas close to these, so I do have some high heeled shoes for pants

As for casual, I was looking at these, but they were not too comfortable. So, maybe something similiar to this.

I saw some people with just regular old Teva flip flops, are those comfortable? I need a new pair. I have a pair of Reef flip flops I've had FOREVER and love, but I might need to find a new pair.
Sorry - price, I'm hoping to keep it under $60 for a pair of sandals.

Love them, not uncomfortable at all.

For the dressy pair, I would recommend wedges. I think they're more comfortable and stable than regular heels, but still have a dressier look. I'm not really sure what your "style" is, but here are a few pairs (sorry for the vague URLs, they are all from endless.com, but the links were HUGE).

I'm no help with the casual ones. I did a search and didn't like any of the ones that came up.
I just ordered THESE. My friend bought them last year and loves them -- super comfy. However, they may be too similar to the ones you already have and may be too high.
THESE are my favorite flip flops.
I have a couple of pairs of Mudd sandals, and I wear them to work and with dress pants.
Here's a cute pair: http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/shoes/brandsforshoes/mudd1/PRD~752199/Mudd+Lethia+PeepToe+Slingback+Heels.jsp
For weekend comfy sandals, I love my Nike flip flops, they come in black and brown:

Thank you for all your recommendations! I need to look up some of them. I found these in the mean time.
What do you think? (Also, can you tell me how to make the link appear in a different IE screen?) Some of them are not black, but I thought perhaps Bronze or silver could go w/ black pants if need be, thoughts?

Also, what color flip flop would you get?
