1. Criss cross sandals from Sorel with a fun lil' peep toe that'll put your favorite nail polish color on display. They also featured a molded rubber sole that'll provide you with all the traction you need.

Sorel

I tore a tendon in my foot earlier this year and still have residual pain pretty much daily (FUN, RIGHT?!) so wearing sandals has been a bit of a challenge this summer. These sandals from Sorel have felt super supportive, really soft, and have enough traction to make me feel safe going up and down many flights of stairs in them. Not to mention they're really cute!

Promising review: "I have been looking for a functional sandal for a while. I can wear them with shorts or jeans. The fit is true to size and they are very comfortable. I love the rugged sole." —tmiller

Get them from Sorel for $36.98 (originally $75, available in sizes 5–12 and three colors).

2. Comfortable sandals you can wear during all of your warm weather adventures. Blisters? Sore feet? NO MORE!

Promising review: "These are one of the most comfortable flat shoes I ever purchased. The cork footbed makes them comfortable to walk around in all day. These are a staple for my summer and a cheaper alternative to Birkenstocks, which I also wish to purchase." —Gg
