Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

1. A pair of timeless Adidas slides you'll want to keep handy at just about all times. Slip 'em on for running errands, taking out the trash, lounging around the house...you name it, they've got you covered.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought these because I like to wear them when I'm at home lounging around. These sandals are comfortable and I can wear them for hours without my wide feet hurting." —RoseO

Get them from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in women's sizes 5–19, men's sizes 4–18, and dozens of colors).

2. An iconic Teva sandal so you can take on all those warm-weather adventures in fun, colorful style and with comfy support. After all, there's a reason everyone loves their signature strappy design.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Plus, the rubber soles will come in handy on slippery surfaces!

Promising reviews: "So comfortable, i will buy more and try the deeper platform as well. I travelled around Vietnam for nine days in these, trekked up rocky beach hills and walked for hours in heat and flat / cobbled streets. Amazingly cool and comfortable - no pinched toes or need for elastoplasts because the front strap was adjustable, my feet swelled from heat and drinking lots of water and flights but these were easy to adjust for whatever condition. Only wish I had discovered them earlier." —Alinightowl

Get them from Amazon for $57.26+ (available in sizes 5–14 and dozens of styles).

3. A Keen rose sandal that's pretty much my go-to warm weather sandal, mainly because it's practical for walking and hiking while still being super duper cute, in a sporty kinda way — cute enough that I don't hesitate to wear it with skirts and dresses. Plus! It's even waterproof, which is great if you get stuck in a random rain shower.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Super comfortable and stylish shoes. I can wear these with dresses AND be ready for a hike or long walks in virtually any terrain. I love the versatility of these sandals. They are easy to get on and off. Honestly, they are my top favorite sandals I have ever purchased. They do great in water, sand, rocks, and uneven ground. The tread on them is super stable and grippy. They wash well and are well-made. They are true to size. I’m a 9.5 and usually wear a 10, but in these I’m a 9.5." —KG

Get it from Amazon for $75.50+ (available in sizes 5–12 and nine colors).

4. A cushy pair of slide-on slippers that, according to reviewers, feel like walking on a big fluffy cloud or a soft, pillowy marshmallow. Either way, sign me up!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

FYI: Many reviewers suggest sizing down!

Promising reviews: "Love these shoes! I wear these all summer, with shorts, dresses, everything!!! They’re super comfortable and durable. I can walk for hours in these. I have them in five different colors." —mimi13

"These slides are — and I mean this in the best way — marshmallows that mold to your individual feet. They are SOOOO comfortable. I’ve been working from home since the start of the pandemic, and I ordered them to wear in my house after I read that walking around barefoot long-term isn’t great for your feet. I wanted something with a little support, but that would be comfortable. The reviews for these looked good so I ordered a pair, and now I never want to take them off. The material in every part is molded and squishy, so there are no unexpected parts that dig into your skin or chafe. But they’re structured enough to provide some support for your arches. 10/10 highly recommend!" —Carrie B

Get them from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in women's sizes 4–16, men's sizes 3–14, and 15 styles).

5. Aerothotic flip-flops because these ones actually have adequate arch support — so much arch support that reviewers with plantar fasciitis swear by these shoes. See? Dreams really do come true! 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I purchased these last summer because they were recommended for plantar fasciitis sufferers, and I have not been disappointed! These are casual and perfect for everyday wear and I can wear them for hours and hours of walking without any discomfort. I really am happy with these flip-flops!" —INcatlady

Get them from Amazon for $43.99 (available in sizes 6–11 and 24 colors). 

6. Or Vionic orthotic sandals for summer footwear that's as comfy as it is cute. Beneath those adorable little bows, you'll find three-zone comfort features, including deep heel cups, arch support, and ample cushioning. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Best sandals I've ever purchased. Super comfortable, even when walking in them for many hours. Dressier than most flip-flops. Most shoes that are comfortable are really unattractive, but not these. Expensive, but worth it!" —cjkotro

Get them from Amazon for $69+ (available in sizes 5–14, including wide and narrow sizes, and tons of styles). 

7. A pair of these trendy two-strap sandals if you want the look and feel of criss-cross Birks minus the expensive price tag and painful rubbing. Some reviewers even think these ones are softer and comfier than the name brand — and with nearly 60,000 5-star ratings, you can be sure these won't disappoint. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Super supportive. Most comfortable sandals I own. I had these in a tan color and loved them so much I bought the black ones. They have nice arch support and are pretty secure for a slide sandal. I walked for hours on a Saturday in these, and my feet felt great. My back also felt good — not like after wearing the regular flat flip-flops. I will probably get another color. They run very true to size. You can tighten or loosen both straps for a more snug or loose fit as needed." —Lisa Lazaro

Get them from Amazon for $34.99 (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 20 styles). 

8. Faux leather strappy sandals to wear when you want something slightly more elevated than flip-flops but just as lightweight and breezy. Not to mention, they're available in all kinds of colors and for less than $24 per pair! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I have flat feet, so I'm not used to buying shoes. online. I need to test shoes to avoid pain, but I bought these on a whim, and they are perfect. I wore these shoes for eight hours and danced in them, and my ankles and knees never felt achy." —Gigi

"I love these — they are stylish for dress or casual, they are great quality sandals for the price and so comfortable. The color is beautiful. The straps are nice and thick leather, they are durable yet comfortable for hours on end. I will definitely buy more." —Mary Gatison

Get them from Amazon for $14.10+ (available in sizes 5–15, including wide sizes, and eight colors).

9. A pair of sporty hiking sandal that might not have a brand name logo but have literally everything else you could want: high arch support, cushioned midsoles, adjustable ankle straps, and a rubber outsole with great traction. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I wasn’t sure about the straps being enough to keep the shoes on my feet, but they were so comfortable and stayed in place without cutting into my feet as the day went on. I was able to walk around the zoo for seven hours with these sandals on, and my feet were perfectly fine at the end of the day. The arch support is much nicer than your average sandal." —Erin

Get them from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in sizes 6–10 and 18 colors).

10. Crocs flip-flops that don't look like the typical Crocs, but offer a similar feel in terms of comfort. We're talking lightweight and flexible support that makes these bbs perfect for poolside lounging and casual strolls alike.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I walked around Epcot for 12 hours in these flip-flops. Not a single sore. So comfortable! Highly recommended." —tina roya

"These are AMAZING. The only flip-flops I’ve ever owned that I can literally walk all day in comfortably! Took them on an eight-day beach vacation and averaged 5.5 miles per day walking! They stick to your feet firmly — very little 'flopping' lol. I also have a wide foot and have issues finding flip-flops and sandals that my feet won’t spill over the sides of. Amazing shoe. And for a Crocs product, not bad-looking!" —S Doeringsfeld

Get them from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes 4–11 and 22 colors). 

11. A pair of strappy Crocs sandals if you want the same comfort and convenience the brand is known for, only a more aesthetic design than the classic clogs or flip-flops. Whether you're a diehard Crocs lover or new to the cult, you're gonna want these cuties in your collection.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "The shoes are so comfortable and lightweight! I was able to walk around for hours while on vacation!" —Steysha Lee

"I was looking for a poolside flip-flop that was not a thong and was not super bulky. I accidentally came across these. I wore these flip-flops every day on a week-long vacation doing a lot of walking, visiting indoor and outdoor tourist attractions, and poolside, and I have to tell you my feet never hurt. They are lightweight and so very comfortable. I now have two pairs." —BFB

Get them from Amazon for $26.25+ (available in sizes 4–11 and 24 colors/styles).

12. Surprisingly cute Skechers sport sandals because their contoured footbeds will keep your feet happy even on your longest treks.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Psst: They're machine-washable.

Promising review: "Love, love, love! I have a VERY difficult time finding sandals that fit my narrow foot. These are the most comfortable sandals I've ever owned. I can tighten them to fit my feet and walk for hours. My first pair went to Italy and Greece with me and it's the only shoe I wore the entire three-week trip. I have started to buy in other colors and currently own three pairs." —Robin A. Laehn

Get them from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 14 styles — not all styles available in all sizes). 

13. Braided Plaka sandals that combine functionality with a breezy boho aesthetic, aka the perfect combo for oceanside strolls. The straps fit snugly around the foot without rubbing or pinching while the rubber soles are durable enough for sand, beach rocks, and other rough terrain.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

FYI, these are best suited for narrow to medium-sized feet. 

Promising review: "I have three pairs of these now! They feel great. The straps are comfy. When I bought my first pair I worried the straps would make it difficult to get the shoes on and that they might be uncomfortable/cause chafing. I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable they really are though!!! I alternate the colors and wear them nearly daily now — perfect summer shoes. We went on a beach vacation...we walked for hours at a time and I never once got a blister or felt any discomfort. I didn't have any issues with my feet sliding around uncomfortably when wet — whether from sweat or when it rained. They were great for walking on the beach, too!! These are seriously the best summer shoe!" —Stark

Get them from Amazon for $34.95+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 22 colors).

14. A pair of braided chunky heels to slip on whenever you need a chic little going-out shoe, for instance at evening happy hour, weddings, date night, or brunch with the gals. According to reviewers, these are actually comfy enough to wear all night long, too!

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Worth every penny! I got these for my week-long trip to Puerto Rico and they were amazingly comfortable! I walked hours in them and had no issues. The color is beautiful and the heel is just the perfect height." —Oscar Chavez

"Reaching for these sandals more and more because they’re comfy, cute, and elevate my outfits! They didn’t require any breaking in and I’ve worn them for an entire day out and had no issues with long-term wear. Fit was true to size. Going to get another color since I love them so much!" —Nidhi Patel

Get them from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes 6–10 and 28 colors). 

15. A vegan suede sandal for when you want something simple but still very stylish. These come in neutral colors (black or tan), a bold red, and even a chic cheetah-print pattern, but have only the slightest hint of a heel — so don't be surprised if you completely forget about it and think you're wearing comfy flats instead.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I wore these at the Kentucky Derby and walked around 12 hours with maybe sitting 30 minutes, and my feet did not hurt one bit, and they were brand new and not broken. I absolutely love these shoes!! A 15/10 for me." —Rhonda

Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in sizes 6—11, wide sizes, and four colors and styles).

16. Naturalizer ankle strap sandals that are timelessly beautiful *and* timelessly comfortable. They're crafted with the brand's signature Contour+ technology, which is basically open-cell foam cushioning that conforms to the shape of your foot! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I struck GOLD! FINALLY, a heel that works for me! The color is just right, the fit was amazing and comfortable. I was in these shoes ALL DAY WALKING, not tippy-toeing after two hours of wear." —Alisz Gary

Get them from Amazon for $119.95 (available in sizes 4–13, including wide and narrow sizes, and tons of styles — not all styles available in all sizes). 

17. A cute pair of Toms block heels to wear at brunch, art galleries, weddings, or any other occasion that demands ~elevated~ fashion. The chunky heel means you'll have plenty of support for dancing the night away, should you find yourself getting carried away on the dance floor. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I bought these for a wedding where the location was in a barn and rural area. When I tell you my feet felt like they were supported and comfortable was an understatement. I wore these for hours and, felt super stable, and had no issues. I often have the issue of not having ankle and arch support in many shoes and heels, along with narrow feet. These shoes ARE AMAZING. Easy to put on, comfortable to walk in, and I didn’t feel like I was getting blisters at all the first time wearing them. I’ll have to update after wearing them more times out, but so far, they make me want these in every color" —Alexandra Wilegus

"I'm obsessed with this shoe! I love that it fits like a bootie. Adorable with skinny jeans/leggings, dresses, etc. Can be dressed up or down — I wore them to a wedding in Greece and also out and about during the day in Spain. Very comfortable for walking, dancing, whatever!" —jasmineflower

Get it from Amazon for $50.95+ (available in sizes 5–12 and eight styles).

18. Lug sole sandals to let everyone know you are here, taking up space, and not shying away! These are the kind of statement shoes that give you a BOOST, both in terms of your physical height and your confidence.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’ve worn these everywhere!! They are super comfy and lightweight, go with everything, and run true to size. I got them in white as well, and I’m obsessed. I’ve been to a concert in them, driven in them, and also, I went on vacation recently and walked all over the city, went out, and danced at bars. I’ve never had a pair of heels that are so comfy! Seriously, so worth the money." —Courtney Wilson

Get them from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 5–12 and in three colors).

19. Platform sandals letting you have the 🎶 best of both worlds 🎶, aka the comfort of sandals and the stylish look of heels — a double life, if you will. They have cushioned insoles, adjustable ankle straps, and ridged soles that'll give you peak stability! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "These shoes were the most comfortable platform sandals I’ve ever worn, straight out of the box. I was leaving a cold climate to vacation in a warm one, so I hadn’t broken in these shoes at all and immediately was walking long distances over uneven streets with no problem. Feet never hurt. Sandals are sassy and look as good or better than advertised. Easy to dress up your outfit and remain comfortable." —frequentcustomer

"THESE ARE AMAZING SHOES!!!! Perfect for a night out or vacation! I wore them in Mexico every night and they were so comfy and cute. I cannot wait to wear them for summer!" —Ally Commito

Get them from Amazon for $45.99+ (available in sizes 5.5–11 and in seven colors).

20. Lightweight decorative wedges with oh-so-gorgeous beaded straps and colorful platformed heels. Trust me, when you walk out with these shoes on and your lil' boho outfit, all eyes will be on you (in a good way). 

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Love these fun wedges. Kind of reminds me of a party on my feet. They are so easy to walk in because, unlike so many others, they are not heavy, and the design makes them supportive to my ankles and feet without compromising style. All the beads and colors work with just about everything. They were the perfect choice for packing to go on vacation because they don’t weigh very much, and there are so many outfits that they looked good with, whether dressing up or heading out in shorts." —Selectivesoul

"This is the cutest summer shoe that goes with everything. Tons of compliments when worn. True to size fit, even though I have a narrow foot. Not stiff or hard to break in, doesn't cause blisters. No weird smell." —Upt Dm

Get them from Amazon for $23.28+ (available in sizes 5–10 and in 18 colors/styles).

21. Double-buckle waterproof sandals, which are basically like if Birks and Crocs had a lovechild — reviewers even call them ~BirkenCrocs!~ The straps are adjustable, and they're waterproof, so you can stroll on the beach or splish-splash by the pool without worry.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "For what I paid for these shoes, I did not expect much beyond the fun style. Instead, I’m pretty sure I just found my favorite summer shoe! These are super comfy and pretty darn cute too! They sort of feel like the materials that Crocs are made of, and look just like the Birkenstock shoe of the same material, except with no name printed on the side. (I prefer the look of the sandal without the name, personally.) I feel like it would fit any width foot, thanks to the adjustable strap. There is support in the middle of the foot all the way across, not just in the arch. I suffer from plantar fasciitis, and I expect this will actually help that. But mostly it’s just a super soft, waterproof shoe that will go everywhere with me, except maybe a formal dinner! Then again, if the dress were long enough, I might even consider sneaking them in... LOL. Buy the shoe, you won’t regret it." —Nicole M.

"Absolutely the most comfortable sandals I have ever owned. I could walk miles in them. Never had any blisters in them either! My feet are narrow, so I tightened the straps and they are perfect. I wear one pair around the hous,e and they are so supportive! I don’t care if they go out of style someday, they are so comfy I will wear them forever!" —Brenden Guy

Get them from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and many colors).

22. A pair of cushioned slides for an easy-on, breathable shoe that's pretty darn supportive. Ideal for TSA, but more importantly, for heading to the pool (or beach) and back a bajillion times.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These shoes are amazing. I have plantar fasciitis, and by the end of the day, my feet are in a lot of pain. I can now stand and walk with no pain wearing these shoes. They appear to be cheap, but whatever material these are made of is more comfortable than Crocs! I bought the grey and loved them, so I bought another pair in brown. I’m going to take them with me on vacation because I know I can walk long distances with them. My feet do not sweat in them either!" —G

Get them from Amazon for $23.98 (available in sizes 5.5–17.5W, 4.5–16M, and 26 colors).

23. A pair of flirty Skechers wedges that'll pair just perfectly with your favorite sundress for a romantic stroll through the garden — and since they're Sketchers, you already know your feet won't ache by the end.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I do not wear shoes with heels, but these are so comfortable that I forget I am wearing heels. I have worn them for 10+ hours walking around and I had no issues. Super cute and comfortable. Who could ask for more? Highly recommend." —Teresa

Get them from Amazon for $53.51+ (available in sizes 5–13, including wide fits, and seven colors).

24. Block-heel sandals so comfortable you won't even need to pack that second back-up pair of sneakers for the commute home. Not to mention, these are totally cute enough for post-work happy hour, too.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought these after reading a 'best clothing buys from Amazon' type of blog. I was totally skeptical and figured they’d go back like every other shoe I’ve purchased online. I haven’t been able to find the right-height heel in a comfortable sandal at our big-box shoe store or discount clothing and home store. Then these arrived, and HOLY COW are these amazing! I bought my normal size (6.5), and these are true to size. They’re super comfortable not only in the heel height and footbed, but the straps are very soft and comfortable. The wrap-ankle straps hit at just the right height on the ankle and make these feel like they’re melded to my foot (in a good way). I have weird toes, and my pinky toe is always smushed on single-strap shoes or is so small that it barely fits under the strap, and this strap hits just perfectly. I’ve worn these for hours and forget that I even have them on. The short heel is just enough, so you don’t feel like you’re in flats, but tall enough that you feel like you’re in heels. Love these! Bought the blush color and it’s the perfect 'nude' for summer." —Jill G.

Get it from Amazon for $29.95+ (available in sizes 5–10 and in eight colors).
