OMG, I've solved my sandal dilemma!
I have for a while now had a very restrictive set of requirements for any sandals I buy.
1) I must be able to slip it on and off without having to use my hands. My most frequent use of sandals is to quickly throw on when I'm stepping outside for just a few moments (walking to the mail box, grabbing something from the car, going in and out while BBQing on the patio). I often have something in my hands on such occasions and need to be able to just step into my footwear
2) While I need to be able to easily slip them on and off, they also must have a way to be secured to my feet so that, on the rare occasion I do wear them for more than a short walk out my front or back door, they aren't in danger of slipping off my feat. This rules out flip-flops and 99% of sandal styles.
3) Velcro is not an option. I've tried it. Invariably the velcro gives out. Plus I hate the fact that my footwear makes noise when I take it off.
That pretty much has left me, for about a decade, with 1 style of sandal, something like
this. With the strap unclipped they slip on and off, but the clip allows for a non-velcro option for securing them for longer wear.
Perfect. Except for the entirely unfashionable look. And for the fact that it's been a decade and it's all I've worn. I'm pretty over it. I've considered no longer requiring sandals to serve double duty, getting a "going out" sandal and a cheap pair of flipflops or something for around the house. But that's just too much footwear.
But today I believe I've solved the riddle.
They slip on, but the elastic webbing does a good job of holding them on my feet and can be tightened to secure them even further. I'm happy. And I'm sure CP will be too.
