'Walk in them. Run in them. Never take a cab again in them — they really do feel like sneakers'
They look like they could be from Acne or Opening Ceremony.

While this week happens to be the start of Fleet Week, we’re doing our own take as summer begins. Welcome to Feet Week on the Strategist.
In terms of closed-toe shoes, I’ve found my niche. Sandals, however, present a particular challenge. Every summer, I resolve to find a sensible pair that meets simple criteria: suitable for everyday wear, not unflattering on the feet, and just comfortable enough to warrant skipping the subway in favor of walking. Year after blistered year, I fail.
Here’s why they’re perfect: The broad, elastic straps cover just enough of your feet to make them look trim and minimize any “side squish.” Four of your five toes and just a hint of “toe cleavage” peek out at the front. Walk in them. Run in them. Never take a cab again in them — they really do feel like sneakers. You will get compliments on these shoes, and the compliments will be from well-dressed strangers.
Naturally, I panicked. I had pictured a lifetime of summers in these shoes. I had planned to buy pairs for friends and relations. What now? After an extensive search, I discovered that the sandal transcended Vivanz. Originally manufactured in San Miguel de Allende, the “shoe capital” of Mexico, the style — and a range of others, all geared toward comfort-conscious lady travelers — is now owned and sold in the United States by the Charleston Shoe Co.
