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

1. Mia slide sandals that will rival a premium brand without costing $$$. The adjustable straps will contour to the shape of your feet, and the cushioned footbeds will have you humming "Walking on Air" by Katy Perry with every stride.

Nordstrom

Promising review: "These sandals are super comfy. They almost look like the big buckle Birkenstocks, but these are a little more chunky. The footbed is very cushiony...I have worn Birks for years and had to get used to the hard, contoured cork footbed. I found these Mia sandals really comfortable straight out of the box. They don't have hard, high arches like Birks, and they fit my feet really nicely. I did have to tighten the straps because these shoes have some weight to them and I worried my feet could slip out when walking. Felt true to size for me. Would definitely recommend for my wide width and low arch girlies out there." —catmami
