Gold Sandals for Women

Gold sandals for women in the UK turn up for summer weddings, holidays and any dress that needs a little shine. We fit them from Tamaris and Wonders, in a flat, a low heel and, when the style allows, a mid heel.

An open shoe shows the fit. The strap has to hold without cutting, and the toes need room to spread. Bring the occasion with you, even if that is only a photograph of the dress.

 

What to look for in gold sandals

Flat, low or mid

Gold sandals in a flat are the easy choice for heat, sightseeing and a long reception on grass. Low heel gold sandals for women add a little height without the pitch of a court. Gold sandals in a mid heel are for a shorter, dressier part of the day, and only if that heel already suits you. Comfortable gold sandals for women are the ones that stay put when you walk, not the shiniest pair on the table.

What people mean by the best

When someone asks for the best gold sandals for women, they usually mean a sandal they can forget about. We cannot crown one style. Tamaris and Wonders both appear here, and the better one is the one that matches your foot. If you wanted a closed gold shoe instead, look at women’s gold shoes.

Fitting tips from our fitters

  • Check the strap. You should slide a finger under it, and the foot should not swim.
  • Watch the toes. They should not hang over the front or press the edge of the sole.
  • Walk on a hard floor. A gold sandal that only feels fine on carpet may slap once you are outside.
  • Decide the hours. A flat for a whole day, a mid heel for the evening, if you are choosing between two pairs.
  • Mind the finish. Sunscreen and a metallic strap can mark skin. The fit still comes first.

Tamaris gold sandals

Tamaris is the gold sandal we can show from this page’s brands. Use the Tamaris size and fit guide, then let us try the strap on your foot. Wonders is the other name in the shortlist.

Frequently asked questions

Are gold sandals in style in 2024?

People asked us that through 2024, and they still ask. Gold sandals have outlasted any one summer. We fit them for weddings and warm weather now, and we expect to keep doing so.

A trend date is a poor reason to buy a sandal. Buy the gold that fits, in a heel you can walk in, and it will still make sense next year.

Do gold sandals go with everything?

No. They go well with white, black, navy, denim and a lot of summer dresses. They argue with an outfit that already mixes several metals, or with a print that has its own gold in a different tone.

If you can, bring the clothes. Five minutes in the shop is more useful than a rule.

What sandals are in fashion right now?

Fashion moves faster than a good sandal should. What we actually fit, on this page, is a gold sandal from Tamaris or Wonders, plus the softer and lower sandals on the neighbouring pages.

Come in and we will show you what is on the shelf this week. The fashion answer changes. The fit does not.

What is the perfect fit for sandals?

The heel sits in the footbed, the straps hold without biting, and the toes are on the sole rather than spilling off it. You should be able to walk without the sandal slipping at the back.

We measure both feet and fit the larger one. There is no extra “growing room” in an adult sandal. Call in at Gabriel’s Hill, Maidstone, and walk them on the shop floor. Our low heel sandals for ladies are the next place to look if you want less shine and more height advice.
