I love this basic style for the summer. They slip on and off. They look good with my summer skirt "uniform" and they are comfortable. My old pair was an inexpensive pair I bought to try the style out but now they are wearing out and I want to replace them with a nicer pair. I have been informed that these can tilt "old lady-ish". Comfort is most important but I'd like to avoid "old lady" if possible.

Anyhow, these are the two I'm trying to decide between-

Josef Seibel Catalonia in Black (http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/josef-seibel-catalonia-15-sandal/3231621?origin=category&resultback=1236) - My husband thinks these are "old lady" and a salesperson at Nordstroms basically agreed

Dansko Serena in Black (http://www.thewalkingcompany.com/dansko-serena-turquoise/12119?cm_mmc=GoogleAdWords-_-TWC%20Dansko%20%28Search%29-_-Dansko%20Serena-_-12119&gclid=CNXOotyK4K8CFQ4zhwodfzxUCw) - My husband thinks these are less "old lady" than the other

Thoughts? Other suggestions? Under $125 is the price range I'm aiming for but I would consider going up to $150 for the right pair.

I like the Danskos. I have a similar version with a strap. Super comfy. For walking with kids though, I tend to wear my Think sandals or Birk Gizeh.

I have those danskos as does a friend of mine. I bought them summer as a bum around sandal and have been really happy with them. My feeling about Danskos is that sometimes they look good on my feet and sometimes they look really clunky/orthopedic, that particular style/footbed worked well for my foot.

Thanks for the advice everyone.

I decided to go with the Danskos. I got them yesterday and I love them.
