About Sandals for Women Australia
Your trusted resource for expert sandal advice, honest recommendations, and comprehensive footwear guidance.
Our Story
Sandals for Women Australia was born from a simple frustration that many Australian women share: the overwhelming challenge of finding the perfect pair of sandals. With Australia's unique climate—scorching summers, coastal lifestyles, and everything in between—we needed footwear that could truly keep up with our active lives while still looking fabulous.
Our founding team consists of passionate footwear enthusiasts, podiatry consultants, and fashion-forward women who understand that the right sandal is more than just a shoe—it's the foundation of comfort for your entire day. We've spent countless hours researching biomechanics, testing arch support systems, evaluating cushioning technologies, and analysing everything from heel cup depth to toe box width. We understand the difference between a moulded EVA footbed and a cork-latex blend, and we know why contoured arch support matters for those long summer days at the markets or beach walks along Bondi.
What started as a personal quest to find comfortable yet stylish sandals has evolved into Australia's go-to resource for women's sandal advice. We've walked the aisles of David Jones and Myer, scoured the selections at The Iconic and Styletread, and tested sandals from boutique Australian brands to international favourites. Our team has collectively worn hundreds of pairs—from budget-friendly thongs perfect for a quick trip to Woolies, to premium leather sandals designed for all-day wedding celebrations.
“We believe every Australian woman deserves to feel confident and comfortable in her sandals, whether she's tackling the school run, exploring the Great Barrier Reef, or dancing the night away at a summer soirée.”
Our Mission
Our mission is straightforward: to provide honest, thoroughly researched, and genuinely helpful sandal guidance for Australian women. We don't just list products—we educate. We explain why certain features matter, how different styles suit various foot types, and what to look for when investing in quality footwear. We discuss pronation and supination, explain why adjustable straps can be a game-changer for swelling feet on hot days, and break down the pros and cons of different sole materials from rubber to leather to synthetic compounds.
We understand the specific needs of Australian women. We consider our hot pavements, sandy beaches, and the need for footwear that can transition from a casual brunch in Surry Hills to an afternoon exploring the Blue Mountains. We know that many of us deal with plantar fasciitis, bunions, or simply tired feet from standing all day, and we factor these real-world concerns into every recommendation we make.
Our Values
Honesty First
We provide unbiased advice based on genuine research and testing. If a sandal isn't worth your money, we'll tell you—even if it's from a popular brand.
Expertise Matters
Our recommendations are grounded in understanding foot anatomy, material science, and the real-world demands of Australian life.
Accessibility
Great sandals shouldn't only be for those with unlimited budgets. We feature options across all price points, from affordable everyday picks to investment pieces.
Australian Focus
We understand the unique needs of Australian women—from our climate to our lifestyle—and tailor all our advice accordingly.
