VIRGINIA | Sandals with a gold buckle

They have a bit of shine to them, which is the part I did not expect from a sandal this comfortable.

Comfortable sandals tend to look like a decision you made about your feet. Wide, flat, beige, practical, and entirely honest about why you are wearing them. It is a fair trade most days, and a slightly disheartening one when you are getting dressed for something.

The gold buckle is the small thing that changes it. It catches the light, it gives the sandal a point of interest, and it is also the part that adjusts, so the fit is yours to set. The rest is built the sensible way: shaped to sit under the foot in its natural position, and light enough that a long afternoon does not become an ordeal. Six colors, from beige and white through pink and blue.

Why women our age keep coming back to them

• The buckle earns its place twice. It adjusts the fit and it is the thing that stops the sandal looking purely practical.
• Shaped under the foot. The footbed follows the foot rather than lying flat, which is why they hold up over hours rather than minutes.
• Light on the foot. Less weight to lift with every step, which is felt most in the second half of a day out.
• Six colors. Beige and white for daytime, black for the evening, pink and blue if you want the sandal to be the color in the outfit.

How they fit

True to size, in US 6 through 13. The buckle takes up a fair amount of slack, so if you are between two sizes take the larger one and bring it in. A sandal that is slightly short will leave your heel over the back edge and there is no adjusting your way out of that.

I bought the blue for a cruise and wore them every single evening.

The buckle is proper metal, not a plastic one painted gold.

My feet are not what they were and these are kind to them without looking it.
