For easy walking, we recommend the 4cm Lendid Strap High Heel Sandals and the Jaind Buckle Strap Sandals in either 5cm or 2cm versions ($60.90 per pair) - all of which are made of artificial leather. For more luxe factor, go for the 5cm Veroa Suede Platform Sandals at the same price, which have a velvety texture.

For ultimate comfort, try the Shammer Maryjane High Heel Sandals which have a low height of just 1.5cm. This, too, costs the same price as the aforementioned designs.

Playing with the idea of one donning their Sunday best, Sunday Staples is a Singapore-born brand that wants women to look their best without compromising their comfort - not just during weekends, of course, but on every single day of the week.

And indeed, their easy-to-wear sandals in nudes and pastels are fitting for everyday usage. Keeping things simple and sophisticated, these come without frills - saved for minute details like ruched bands and mesh panels.

Despite having gained fast popularity, their sandals remain affordably priced, between $38.90 to $42.90. Some of their pieces have become hot favourites and tend to get wipes off the shelves super quickly, leaving fans repeatedly anticipating restocks. If you see something you like, grab it ASAP before your size runs out!

While their original Far East Plaza outlet is a modest little hole-in-the-wall, their newer Suntec Ciy and 313@Somerset branches are more spacious and have that luxe cafe vibe.
#3: DMK - local brand with affordable pieces below $40

Even if you haven’t actually shopped on SHEIN yet, you’ve probably seen their sponsored ads on your social media feeds. We don’t know about you, but boy is the temptation strong for us!

Though founded in China, the online shopping platform is highly popular in the States and Europe, with a local office in Singapore as well. If Taobao confuses you with all its Chinese characters, SHEIN is a good contender - it offers a seemingly endless selection of affordable fashion picks, but with more quality control since it’s under a single brand rather than independent retailers.

Shoes here start from as low as under $10. If you’re looking for colourful sandals in pastel shades, try the Block Heeled Slingback Sandals ($18) with a suede-like material or the Thin Strap Chunky Heeled Mules ($26). The former comes in a handful of colours while the latter comes in green and black.
Alternatively, add a bit of sparkle to your look with the bed-embellished Glitter Block Heeled Convertible Sandals ($20) or Rhinestone Decor Chunky Heeled Mule Sandals ($24).

The great thing about SHEIN is that because of the high purchase volume all over the world, there are a ton of English reviews to browse through - with real user-uploaded images as well.

Turns out, Love, Bonito, one of Singapore’s top fashion boutiques for women, doesn’t just sell clothes. They also have a small selection of footwear including sneakers, slides, and pumps.

Slip on the Alby Kitten Heeled Sandals ($56.90) in dusty blue or white and head to town with ease - the low heels make them easy to walk in for hours without tiring yourself out. The Mia Strappy Sandals ($46.90) are another comfy choice that’ll take you places all day.
For an extra boost, go for the Amelia Block Heel Sandals ($49.90), which are a manageable 2 inches high with adjustable ankle straps.

It’s pretty amazing how Singaporean shoe brand Charles & Keith has gained such a huge international following over the years, ever since their humble beginnings in 1996. Today, they have a presence in the UK, USA, Australia, Taiwan and more.

One thing we love about their selection is that it’s ever-changing, so you won’t be looking at the same old stuff every few months. But this also means that there are no mainstay items, so go on and get the pretty shoes your feet deserve - time and shopping wait for no woman!

While they do have a significant amount of high-heeled shoes and wedges, they also stock sensible sandals with mid-height block heels that provide good stability. No more tripping over uneven pavements!

Here are the sandals we’ve featured above, all of which incidentally cost $49.90 per pair:
