Hi Paul,
Do they have to be sandals? I wear water shoes all summer. They're
made of light mesh and have lots of ventilation--but they also have
some support. I buy mine from Land's End.

For anyone who spends a lot of time on their feet in the studio (or out
of the studio for that matter) that wears sandals - can you recommend a
really good brand to look for?
I have owned a lot of kinds over the years but never the same pair twice
because the places I have bought them at never have the same kind when I
go back to buy another pair a year or so later. Some kinds are just a
step up from cheap flip-flops while others feel very sturdy on the feet
and have a lot of cushioning, and seem like they could even be used for
hiking or whatever. I had a pair like that a long time ago but they are
long gone (they actually got stolen).

I will probably just buy these online to save all the time of driving
around to look for them - so if anyone can steer me straight please do
so! I will probably have them on me feet until it is time to turn the
heat back on in the studio again so they better be good...

Thanks!

I swear by my Tevas. I like to wear them when I know I won't
have a chance dropping heavy things like bricks:

Teves Pricey but here in Hawaii I wear them daily for years. Current pair
purchased in 2008 is getting close to the end.

I love my clogs, bought from a Vendor at NCECA a few years ago. They are
REALLY comfy and wash off easily. This line of Poly Clogs is washable but
the company does make sandals. The website is SLOW. Here are the clogs:
