Another offering on our list from KEEN Footwear, the Men’s SOLR Toe Post sandals are consciously created: they are made from recycled, water resistant PET plastic. Plastic water bottles for water and soft drinks that normally go to waste are being reused in this top travel sandal, which is pretty awesome. If you are wearing a pair of travel sandals for months on end – on dusty roads, in street side bars and local trains – then take it from us: they really do get dirty. Not only do they get dirty, but they can get pretty ripe as well. While all footwear should be comfortable, some specific areas should be considered when investing in a new pair of sandals. Even though your feet are not closed in, making sure you buy the correct size sandals to fit them is still incredibly important. In the warmer weather, your feet are likely to swell, so be sure to factor that in when buying. Again, I choose a rose gold colour (seeing the trend here?). But this time, the style was available in my size and colour choice in a wide fit. Let me tell you. It took 3.5 seconds from them arriving for them to end up on my feet!

On the inside, the cushioned luxe foam insole makes you feel like you are walking on air, and the roomy comfort fit that surrounds the toe and forefoot ensures that your feet never feel scrunched up during your natural walking cycle. With durable synthetic uppers available in a choice of attractive colors, these sandals also come with a sporty ankle strap with a hook and loop closure for a customized fit. Here at Charles Clinkard, we have a range of quality Hotter footwear. We have a selection of ladies' shoes and sandals, as well as boots, slippers , and trainers, so you’ll be prepared for all occasions.

These are the sorts of sandal you should AVOID. They will inevitably fall apart and become completely unusable. Second to being the most uncomfortable things ever is the durability of a sandal. There is no point even buying a pair of travel sandals that are just not going to last. Then there are the more strappy, urban-type sandals, some of which are good for hiking, others of which it seems the straps are good for support, but maybe not for rugged terrain.

A contoured arch and increased metatarsal ridge support provide the optimum support to suit the natural cycle of your gait while still allowing your feet to breathe. With the top sole and midsole being constructed of foam, with the outer sole being rubber, they weight in at less than 1 pound, which is extremely light for any sort of footwear, let’s be honest. While not sandal will last forever, it is important to get your money’s worth out of any piece of footwear.
