Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's. 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 $15.27+ (available in women's sizes 5–19, men's sizes 4–18, and dozens of colors). 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 $75.22+ (available in sizes 5–12 and eight colors). 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). 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 $42.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and 20 colors). 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 $59.99+ (available in sizes 5–14, including wide and narrow sizes, and tons of styles). 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 $49.99 (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 19 styles). 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 $13.13+ (available in sizes 5–15, including wide sizes, and eight colors). 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 $39.99+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and tons of colors). 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 $25.48+ (clip the coupon on the product page to get it for $20.99; available in sizes 6–10 and 17 colors). 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 $22.99+ (available in sizes 4–11 and seven colors). 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 $29.26+ (available in sizes 4–11 and 12 colors/styles). 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 $41.99+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and seven styles — not all styles available in all sizes). Macarena Collection is a small biz based in Buena Park, California, and specializes in colorful Mexican shoe and clothing designs. Promising review: "These are just as cute if not more in person!! I love the colors and they’re super comfortable. Full disclosure, I got super drunk the first night I wore these and was fine walking for hours. I would totally recommend these!" —Christine Soegaard Get them from Macarena Collection on Etsy for $65.92 (originally $87.90; available in sizes 5–9 and 11). 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 21 colors). 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 17 colors). 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). 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 $32.58+ (available in sizes 4–13, including wide and narrow sizes, and tons of styles — not all styles available in all sizes). 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 $73.21+ (available in sizes 5–12 and three styles). Laboo Leather is a family-owned small biz based in Budapest, Hungary, making handmade leather sandals and wallets. Promising review: "I adore my sandals! They are beautiful and the craftsmanship is amazing. Best of all, they are so soft and comfy I can walk in them for hours. They’re also lightweight, so perfect for vacation packing." —alisa388 Get them from Laboo Leather on Etsy for $116.48+ (available in sizes 4–15 and nine colors — you can also request a custom size for an additional cost). 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 $19.50+ (available in sizes 5–12 and in 14 colors). 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). 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 $12.98+ (available in sizes 5–10 and in 12 colors/styles). Promising reviews: "The best flat sandals I have purchased in a long time. Very comfy feel from day one. Walked all over Paris for two days with them on and never felt uncomfortable. What a good buy!" —Mars "These exceeded my expectations! I have had so many compliments. Very comfortable, and now I want it in more colors. So cute, get them!" —KCSac Get them from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in sizes 6–11 and in 10 colors). 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 $21.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and many colors). Christina Christi makes gorgeous leather creations — from bags and shoes to jewelry — at her home in Athens, Greece! These shoes are 100% genuine leather and feature a lightweight sole, BTW. Promising review: "Lovely and comfortable. Easy to slip on and off. Barely feel the shoe. No 'wearing in,' these are great from day one. Speedy delivery. Great follow-up with seller emailing to check sizing to make sure I received the right fit. Great small business practice and service. Thanks." —Nikkiolivia Get them from Christina Christi on Etsy for $82.76+ (originally $110.35+; available in sizes 5–13 and four colors). 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 $29.99 (available in sizes 6–17.5W, 4.5–16M, and 20 colors). 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 $35.95+ (available in sizes 5–13, including wide fits, and four colors). 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.
