On the Cheap: Silver Sandals

I'm on the prowl for a pair of silver sandals.  I had some for 4 years and I literally wore them out.  They were the best sandals EVER, and my heart broke when it was time to get new ones. Well, I should re-phrase.  I wasn't heartbroken at first, because I thought I could find something just as good.

Ha.

The search would be easy if it weren't for a bizarre subset of my dress code at work: no sandals that go between the toes. Which means these and these are no longer contenders.

It's been surprisingly hard to find flat sandals that aren't flippy-floppy. In fact, these are the only pair I've found so far that might be okay:


And I'm not in love.  I didn't think finding flat, silver, strappy sandals would be like solving one of the world's great mysteries, but it is.  I've already checked Payless, DSW, Macy's, and Target...

So where am I forgetting?  Do you have an ace up your sleeve for finding awesome sandals?  Similarly, is there an item that's turning into your personal Lochness Monster?  Did you ever find it?

    I know you're looking for flats, but these have a pretty low heel and would look great with skirts. Could be dressed up or down. What do you think? http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=558116&CategoryID=17570&LinkType=#fn=COLOR%3DSilver%26sp%3D1%26spc%3D160

    I really like them but would only get them if the price were slashed. A lil too much $$ for this ol' gal. ;-)

    I like those sandals--dressy enough but still comfy. I had the hardest time finding a white pair last summer so I feel your pain.

    What a bizarre dress code. Do you have an outlet near you? What about Khols, Marshalls or TJ Maxx? Good luck.

    Dyche, I do have an outlet nearby, but I think they only have 2 shoe stores! Maybe I should give it another shot, anyway...

    Have you tried zappos.com? Free shipping (on returns, too, so buy a few pairs/sizes and return what you don't want). I think shoebuy.com is the same but I've never used them.

    Those silver ones are cute though!

    And that is a bizarre dress code rule. =)
