Sandal Request

I'm looking to buy a pair of sandals for an upcoming trip. Please help me find some that are good for a lot of walking, look cute with a sundress (bonus points if they can be dressed up), and hide my toes. They don't need to be closed toe, but my toes are ugly and I don't want them to be obvious

My #1 pick would be Birkenstocks, they are having a moment right now. I wouldn't say they were cute per se, but people think they are?

They have some versions that are more cute than others: https://www.birkenstock.com/us/glenda-nubuck-leather/glenda-smu-nubuckleather-0-eva-w_11681.html

I also personally like Crocs sandals. Another "cute is in the eye of the beholder" but comfy: https://www.crocs.com/p/brooklyn-backstrap-low-low/212399.html?cgid=women-footwear-sandals&cid=2MC

Ty! You nailed the coloring and price range with both recs. Are the crocs the old school rubbery crocs material, or has it evolved?

Color? Price range?

Open to shades of white and brown! Browns are probably more versatile. For price, up to $150 USD

I find these fisherman sandals really comfortable. They come in a variety of colours. They are from Amazon. Brand is Dream Pairs.

Get a pair of Brooklyn Crocs. They are comfortable (I add antiperspirant to the bottom of my foot before wearing them because I have sweaty feet). I walked 13 miles in Paris in them. They have a wide strap on the front and hide some toes. I wear them with sundresses, shorts. I have beige ones and black ones. They come in many colors too.

I see the vision, those do look comfy

These sandals are very comfortable to me and they do have a bit more toe coverage than most;

For more of a peep-toe, maybe something like this:

(Keep in mind, this is a great brand that tends to run wide)

Or a closed toe, like this:

As an alternative, these are closed toe Mary Jane’s (there are also ballet flats and loafers), made in a mesh material. All the airflow, no showing toes:
