HOW TO KNOW A COMFORTABLE SANDAL



Hey guys,
     
   If you follow my Instagram page or have ever stumbled on @dolls_sandals on Instagram, you would know how much I stress on not only getting a fashionable slide/sandal but one which is comfortable as well.
   A lot of sandals are only for fashion and can end up leaving your feet hurting badly, often leading to painful blisters. Because I have gone through these and i know how it feels to have that pretty sandals you wanna wear everyday but you always end up removing at the occasion so that your feet can breathe, i will be giving helpful tips on how to know and buy a pair of comfortable sandals.


  • Hold sandal at the heel and toe areas, bend slightly. A comfortable sandal would bend at front arch but stiffen in the middle. Make sure it doesn't bend too much else it won't be supportive.You don't wanna go around in some jelly sandals do you ? Lol
  • Buy sandals with leather or suede insoles, they are very comfortable, breathable and help prevent blistering.
  • If it is a sandal with a toe hold, make sure the toe hold is wide enough for you to wear and put off easily. It's going to be very frustrating if you have to bend down to force your toe out of a sandal everytime you put it on.
  • Test the insole by pressing a finger on it, it should have a slightly padded feel.
  • Make sure the sandals fit snuggly and holds your feet. Not too tight that it hurts, not too loose that you are struggling to hold onto them but just the right size.
  • Make sure the toe area is wide enough for the widest part of your feet.
  • Buy sandals with leather soles ( if you can afford them, as they can be very expensive) or rubber soles, which are cheaper but almost as comfortable and shock absorbing.
     Once again, don't jump at a sandal because it is trendy, pretty, on sale or affordable. Buying a pair of expensive sandals won't give you comfort either. Whether it's a cheap sandal or a very expensive one, make sure it's worth every penny.

WHY WE USE RUBBER SOLES INSTEAD OF LEATHER

 Although leather soles are classy and very expensive, they cannot be used daily and for rough use. Rubber is often flexible right off the bat leaving minimal break-in period. Therefore you normally do not feel so stiff when a shoe is made on a rubber sole, even if hand welted. It also being quite sturdy makes it feel comfortable for some people. And naturally it has more shock absorption so when you step you don’t feel the hardness of the pavement as much as you might in the leather sole.  A good rubber sole is virtually indestructible (not really but close). Due to the nature of rubber and what it is intended for, you can really go hard on it and it will last. Rubber is very water resistant so you really don’t have to worry about your feet getting wet, ever.   Rubber soles are more discreet - they don't make this solid impact sound when you walk, they are more comfortable for walking because they absorb the foot strike impacts better.

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY A BRANDED FOOTWEAR

I hear people say  “Apple is just selling its name, it shouldn’t be that expensive. What is so special about Louis Vuitton?  and so on” Come to think of it,  for people to be willing to pay any price placed on a brand name, don’t you think there is a reason behind what makes it so special ? Before you go ahead and say “I’d rather buy a regular sandal for a cheaper price”, below are few of the many reasons why you should consider buying a branded product ( in this case a footwear) * It is true you can save some money buying an unbranded footwear by the roadside or at your regular store but it also means you are buying a footwear with no identity. A brand name is an identity, something that represents what a product brings so if people have chosen to keep getting a particular brand, it is because of its worth, identity and consistency. People go around flaunting their Gucci shoes because it represents class *Imagine going to a party and being served biscuits in a plain ...
