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 $23.88+ (available in sizes 5–19W, 4–18M, and tons of colors).

3. The classic Birkenstock Arizona sandals, which have a well-earned reputation for being some of the most comfortable walking shoes out there. (Hello contoured footbed!) They're effortless to style and go with pretty much everything, too.

Promising reviews: "Great fit and good-looking sandals. 👌" —Glenn M.

"I love the Arizona style. They are easy to adjust and easy to slip on and off. I suffered from a heel spur, and I was able to walk without pain when I changed over to the Arizona sandals. I took several pairs of shoes on vacation, and never once did I switch over to a different pair. I can walk for long periods of time with comfort. They are my first choice of shoes." —Glenn B.

Get them from Amazon for $84.95+ (available in sizes 5–16W and 3–13M, including narrow sizes, and in 17 styles).

4. A Keen sandal that I pretty much live in during the warmer months. Why, you ask? Well, it's just so darn adorable while also being unbelievably comfy. I walked for hundreds of miles in my first pair (everything from city streets to nature trails) before I eventually had to order a new pair...and I still love them just as much the second time around.

Promising review: "I love my new Keen Rose sandals. I was looking for a lightweight, comfortable, and stylish sandal for my trip to Spain in the fall, and they fit the bill. They’re perfect to wear with jeans, shorts, tights, skirts, and casual dresses. They are very comfortable with a little extra room in case my feet swell after a long day of walking. The beautiful rosewood color was exactly what I expected. I also own Keen hiking boots and sandals, and I love the fit, quality, and durability of Keen footwear. My sister tried mine on when they arrived and immediately ordered a pair for herself." —Shirley G.

Get it from Amazon for $71.73+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 12 colors).

5. A chic leather sandal so you can live your best ~Greek Goddess Summer~ — and because a Goddess would never have to deal with the foot pain of a mere mortal, these have soft memory foam soles.

Walmart

Promising review: "Very comfortable and true to size. I'll be ordering more colors. Highly recommend." —Bethany

Get them from Walmart for $39.95 (available in sizes 5.5–11 and three colors).

6. 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!

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 sizes 4–16W, 3–14M, and 15 styles).

7. 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!

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 $38.99 (available in sizes 6–11 and 22 colors).

8. Or Vionic orthotic sandals for 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.

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 $48.60+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide and narrow sizes, and 44 styles).

9. A pair of these trendy two-strap sandals if you want the look and feel of Birks, sans the expensive price tag and painful rubbing. Some reviewers even think these ones are softer and comfier than the name brand — and with nearly 50,000 5-star ratings, you can be sure these won't disappoint.

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 $34.98+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 21 styles — not all styles available in all sizes).

Promising review: "This has to be the most comfortable wedge I’ve ever owned. I walked up and down the Atlantic City boardwalk for hours. Not a hint of discomfort. Mind you, I have a neuroma issue. Felt like I was walking around in sneakers. Definitely recommend." —Natasha C.

Get them from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 5.5–11, including wide sizes, and seven colors).

Promising review: "These little sandals are the best ever. They are so cute and comfortable. True to size and goes well with sundresses, skirts, and shorts. Just an all-around cute sandal." —J. Mck

Get them from Amazon for $23.70 (available in sizes 5–15, including wide sizes, and eight colors).

12. Espadrille flatforms here to add some ~oomph~ to your summertime vacay 'fits (and make quite the statement on your Insta stories, obvi). Pair 'em with jeans, dresses, rompers, really anything, it doesn't matter! What does matter is the fact that they're cute 'n' comfy. ;)

Promising review: "Don't hesitate any further, just buy them! I am super picky about shoes, especially sandals, and these are so comfortable. I wore them for hours walking around downtown and no blisters, no discomfort, nothing. They look amazing, too!" —Summer

Get them from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 50 colors).

Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 12 colors).

14. A pair of sporty hiking sandals 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. Outdoor adventures, here you come!

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 $31.10+ (available in sizes 6–11 and 17 colors).

15. Absolutely stunning Margaux City Sandals, which, true to their name, are ideal for walking uptown, downtown, and everywhere in between, both day and night. The secret? Cushioned insoles and perfectly placed straps.

Margaux

Promising reviews: "Best heels ever! After reading all the hype, I bought two pairs. They are so incredibly comfortable, you feel like you are walking on cushy, flat shoes!! I even walked and sometimes ran in them in airports while traveling across the globe for 20 hours straight, and my feet weren’t a bit tired or achy. They fit like a glove and look sleek and sexy. The cross straps at the toes make my feet look so delicate. They are by far my favorite shoes. Can’t wait for Christmas, since my husband will be gifting me my third pair!!" —Tania W.

"As usual, Margaux does not disappoint. My first pair of City Sandals, and they fit perfectly — and were comfortable all evening at a wedding. An ankle injury/surgery a couple of years ago has discouraged me from wearing heels much anymore, but these City Sandal heels are no problem." —Gail F.

Get them from Margaux for $345 (available in sizes 3–14, including medium, narrow, and wide sizes, and six colors).

16. 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.

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 $24.95+ (available in sizes 4–11 and 21 colors).

17. Plus, a Crocs wedge sandal with adjustable ankle straps, since there's just no reason you need to sacrifice comfort for style. These bbs seem wayyy too cute to be Crocs — but once you feel how comfy they are, you just might believe it.

Promising review: "I kept getting suggested on TikTok to purchase these Crocs for my trip to Universal Studios, and oh my goodness, I’m so glad I did. I’m the type of person that will wear sneakers with a cute dress because I want to be comfortable and these were amazing! They feel like walking on a cloud and look amazing. I got the tortoise and black with the cream soles and I got so many compliments on them, they’re neutral enough to match every outfit but also has tons of personality on their own. I pair them with jeans and skirts, and they’re perfect for all occasions. I wore them for a week before my trip, and I got no blisters. The platform makes it super cushioned when you walk, my feet weren’t even tired at the end of the day, it was incredible!! BUY THEM NOW!! And in every color" —Jacqueline Lobos

Get it from Amazon for $48.97+ (available in sizes 4–11 and 11 colors).

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 $45.20+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 13 styles — not all styles available in all sizes).

19. Skechers rhinestone slingbacks to glam up even your most basic and plain outfits with a bit of sparkly fun. Plus, your feet will feel like absolute royalty, thanks to the yoga foam sole.

Promising reviews: "Love these! Very pretty and sooooo comfy! I can wear these while walking for hours and be fashionable at the same time!" —Dee

Get them from Amazon for $29.94+ (available in sizes 5–11, including wide sizes, and seven colors).

20. 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.

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 shoes!" —Stark

Get them from Amazon for $34.95+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 25 colors).

21. 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!

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 $29.99+ (available in sizes 6–10 and 25 colors).

22. A vegan suede sandal for when you want something simple but still very stylish. These come in all different kinds of colors and patterns (including 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.

Promising review: "These are comfortable and cute. I wore them to a wedding, and I didn’t even take off my shoes to go dance. I thought for sure I would be taking them off while dancing, but I didn’t. I also had blisters on my heels from a few days before from another pair of shoes, and these didn’t rub against the blisters. I love these and I’m tempted to get a pair in another color." —Kate McGee

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

23. 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!

"These may be the most comfortable high heels I have ever worn. I can't wear heels for any length of time, and never have been able to without painful feet. I bought these for my son's wedding and rehearsal dinner, and they were stylish and looked great with both dresses. The size was on point. And I was able to wear these for hours and hours, and had no foot pain. I would highly recommend." —amylou_rn

Get them from Amazon for $100+ (available in sizes 4–13, including wide and narrow sizes, and tons of styles).

24. A pair of colorful Tevas so you can stroll around the farmers market or a pretty outdoor trail without wearing uncomfortable sandals. With so many color options to choose from, you can easily style them with a mini or maxi dress.

Promising review: "Honestly, I can't say enough good things about these shoes. This was my first pair of Tevas and definitely not my last. (I just bought another pair yesterday!) I bought these for a trip to Disney World. The first day I wore them, we walked about 10 miles. Surprisingly, I had no issues with the straps rubbing and no blisters! I now take these shoes with me on every vacation. I’m normally a size 8.5, but I purchased the 8. It was a perfect fit!" —Emily Docter

Get them from Amazon for $33.51+ (available in sizes 5–13 and dozens of colors/patterns).

25. Some heeled sandals that blend together a modern square toe design with ruffled straps into one chic aesthetic. It's giving ~effortless fashion~.

Promising reviews: "This is my fourth pair! I love how comfortable these are — it’s like walking on air! I noticed that when I walk a lot in my leather Birkenstocks, the hard leather caused blisters. I can wear/walk in these all day with no problems. I love all the different colors — so fun!" —GR

"These are super comfy. They hold up well and don’t make your feet sweat. My friend wanted to go to a 'short' walk (not short at all…over 5 miles) to a fort that ended up being flippin' closed. They held up for me…a non-let’s go for a walk person, in the humid heat of Baltimore. I was wearing these shoes and made it through the whole thing with no blisters or anything! I could even actually walk the next day! I thank the shoes." —K

Get them from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes 5.5–16W, 3.5–15M, and 18 colors).

27. A handmade pair of closed-toe huarache platform sandals if you need some extra height (that darling maxi dress you just bought is a little on the long side), but also refuse to commit to walking around in heels all day. These beauts are the perfect compromise!

Macarena Collection / Etsy
