My new favorite sandals

I got it in my head a month or two ago that I absolutely needed a pair of silver sandals for summer. I'm not very fond of white shoes (due to my own extreme paleness) and I can't always wear black or brown, so silver seemed like a great idea.

Finding a pair of silver sandals should be super easy, right? Well, no because I have wide, flat footsies and that limits my options (doesn't it seem like I'm always singing that tune?). So I looked all over every online shoe store I could find that carries wide widths. I ordered one pair before these that didn't work out but I didn't let that keep me from continuing my hunt.

I'm nothing if not determined.

Anyway, I stumbled upon these silver thong-style sandals at shoebuy.com and BEHOLD! they come in wide widths. Flip flop type shoes tend to be more forgiving in the width department but it doesn't hurt if they're specifically a wider size.

Buying shoes online is always kind of an adventure so I don't get my hopes up. However, I'm very happy to report that these shoes are GREAT - they fit perfectly, the strap is thin and sparkley enough for a night out but not too over the top for daytime wear, and they're oh so shiny! Oh and, they're only $40. Now if it was only warm enough out to actually WEAR THEM, I'd be in business.

If you'd like to receive $5 off a $50 purchase at shoebuy.com, just use the code BUYS at checkout. They have a pretty big selection of wide width styles and they offer free shipping, too.

The silver thongs are so cute!

I just wanted to mention that I went to the website today after reading your post and ordered a pair of Skechers and tried to use the "BUY" code, but it wouldn't accept it. But, I googled up some other codes and used ANNIVERSARY07 and saved 20%, that code is good until the end of the month.

I received these in the mail this week and am quite happy with them. My feet swell a lot, and they manage to make them look halfway cute. :) Thanks for the tip.
