Closed Toe Sandals – Reviews of 6 Stylish Models You’ll Love

Do you look forward to sandal season, but not so much to showing your toes? Closed toe sandals might be just the right option. If you dislike the appearance of your feet, don’t always get around to pedicures, or have a job where open toed footwear isn’t allowed, closed toe sandals are the perfect solution for feeling summery, but not exposed.  See four of our current favorite closed toe sandals, from casual to work-appropriate. All four feature comfort footbeds and soft leather uppers with room for toes to spread out. Still needing more ideas? Refer to our most recent article featuring even more stylish, comfortable closed toe sandals.

An affordable, cute, budget-friendly, all-leather closed toe sandal–that’s the Earth Origins Belle Brielle. The insole is cushioned and wrapped in soft microfiber. Elastic stretch loops provide a good fit. Find the Brielle in sizes 6-12, medium and wide widths for $44.95 from Peltzshoes.com, DSW, Shoemall, and Amazon.

A twist on the classic fisherman style, the Josef Seibel Rosalie offers a real buckle for adjustment (not velcro!), cushioned footbed with modest arch support, wide toe box with a snug fit at the heel.

Great for a wide or high volume foot, the Dansko Malin offers exemplary support and cushioning from heel to toe. A block heel provides stability. This cross between a closed toed sandal and a clog is sleek and stylish enough for business-casual work settings, but so comfortable you’ll keep wearing them all weekend.

    So are slingbacks basically a kind of sandal, albeit a classy one? They are usually closed toe, but the back is structured around an ankle strap that only takes the back half of the ankle and connects to the insole or to the toe box.

  5. SarahM says:

    Cobb Hill – Aubrey (Rockport) are my all time fav so far.

  6. Christy says:

    What is the brand and style of the shoe that shows at the top above the article? I like those! Thank you!

  7. Kirsten Borrink says:

    Hi Christy! It’s the Josef Seibel Rosalie which is mentioned further down in the article (you’ll see a photo of it again in brown).

  8. Lida Krieger says:

    Although these are all cute and I do need my shoes to be close toed I think they do not offer enough space for prominent toes that thrust upwards. Toe boxes are not high enough on any of these sadly.

  9. PEGGY GRAU says:

    I have post operative neuropathy at the site of bunion surgery. All of these shoes, touted for bunions have stitching or straps exactly where incision is. No go for my foot. I would not even try them on if encountered in a store.

  10. Cricket Keedy says:

    Great ideas. Thanks.

  11. diane simmons says:

    Toe box on all of these sandals is not nearly roomy enough. People with hammertoes should do the reviews.

  12. Carol Smith says:

    Sure wish the cute shoes you showcase would more often come in wide and extra-wide!
