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

1. Knit flats that can be tossed in the wash when they need a good cleaning and et voila, they'll emerge looking brand spankin' new. Bonus points: the flexible knit fabric means they're easy to pack in a cramped carry-on.

Promising reviews: "I bought these ballet flats on a whim about one to two days before leaving for a two-week trip to Europe. I walked about 6–10 miles PER DAY in these shoes for my entire trip and never got a single blister or had that dreaded 'heel slip' that you often experience wearing ballet flats. They were so comfortable and held up in excellent condition (which was surprising given the affordable price). I love how versatile and easy to style they are — perfect with dresses, denim, etc. So happy I found these! Will likely be buying another pair in a second color!" —Natasha Overin

Price: $28.04+ (available in sizes 6–10 and 14 colors and patterns)

Promising review: "This is my third pair of these sandals in three years. I keep buying them every year because they are the absolute best sandals I have ever had. I've worn them hiking for hundreds of miles through the Appalachian mountains, worn them to wander through miles of California's redwood forests, 7,000 feet up Mount Rainier, along winding trails at Mount St. Helens, and besides being comfortable and durable enough for all that hiking, they look super cute with a sundress and even very convenient to slip on to go to the grocery store. These sandals deserve ALL the stars and then some." —Lisa2197

Price: $23.06+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 17 colors)

They also went with a ton of outfits, so I was very happy!!! I highly recommend!" —Leah Gwin Hoefling

Promising review: "If you are looking for a cute and comfortable shoe, look no further! This shoe is everything! I wore this shoe all day long walking through the streets of Paris and Florence. And when I say walk, I mean walk... some days up to 10 miles. I brought three other pairs of shoes and ended up wearing these pretty much every day. The platform heel was just the right height, and the sole was almost like memory foam and seemed to absorb the pressure from all the standing and walking. The straps did not rub my feet and were easy to open, close, and adjust. Great shoe if you are on the go! I would highly recommend." —Jay

Price: $44.94+ (available in sizes 3–11 and 18 styles)

I was a little skeptical about the low price, but I gave them a shot... and they were the MOST comfortable sandals I've ever owned. I walked over 120 miles in them in three weeks on our trip and never once had foot pain. They broke in so quickly and were very supportive from the get-go — and still are! Highly recommend." —Han Lin

Definitely a great buy at a fraction of the Birks price!" —Jessica Black

"I love these! I was hoping they could compare to the Birkenstock brand, and I'm so glad they can! I debated whether to purchase these, but when they arrived, I was pleasantly surprised. They look and feel just like my Birkenstocks for a fraction of the price. I will definitely be buying them in the other colors. Their fit is accurate as well. I would say they are a perfect fit!" —Alicia Lewis

Get them, you won't regret it!!!" —magdalena alos

As a Southern Californian, I wear flip-flops year-round. The last pair of Sanuk Yoga Mat flip-flops I bought lasted through almost three years of constant wear (they were basically the only shoes I wore for three years, so I'm serious when I say constant). They're comfortable enough to wear for a day at Disneyland, even with arthritic joints." —beth
