Promising review: "I researched and read a ton of reviews for various comfortable but cute sandals/wedges. I was going to a conference, where I’d be on my feet for hours, with tons of walking. I don’t have the greatest back, so support is important as well.

These are a winner. These are so buttery soft the moment you put them on. Zero break-in time. Just slide them on and go. They are supportive and fit like a glove. I wore them the rest of the summer, received compliments on them, and am very happy with these!" —KariAnn

Promising review: "If I could I’d give these sandals 10 stars! There’s no breaking in period with these, they’re so comfy from the very start. I spend most of the day on my feet at work and with these I don’t feel any discomfort whatsoever! The best thing is they’re so pretty! I love these shoes!" —Veronica Diaz

Promising review: "I grabbed these name brand alternatives on a whim, and I’m honestly obsessed. They’re super comfortable right out of the box—no painful breaking-in period like some sandals. The footbed is soft but supportive, so I can wear them all day without my feet hurting.

They also look so cute with pretty much everything—shorts, jeans, even dresses. I’ve worn them to run errands, go on walks, and even on casual outings, and they still look great. Plus, they’re way more affordable than the real thing, but honestly just as comfy. If you’re looking for an easy, everyday sandal that feels amazing and looks stylish, these are a must!" —Emma

Promising review: "My daughter bought these and raved about how comfortable they are. She wore them everywhere with every outfit. I thought they wouldn’t hold up because they are synthetic leather, so I bought her a second pair. I was wrong— they held up great — so I kept the spares for myself. The uppers have enough give to accommodate my bunions and big toes. Comfy from the get-go, no “breaking in” required. Priced low enough to try all the colors." —Ani

Promising reviews: "These were very comfortable and did not require any time to break in!" —C.Jo

"I was surprised how comfy these little flats are. They feel secure on your feet and do not feel like I’m going to walk out on them. The metallic color is nice for summer, and these will look cute with pants, shorts, or a dress. The price is also a win!" —Amazon Customer

Promising reviews: "Holy cow! These Reef sandals are fab. I haven't been wowed like this for a long time, but these Reef shoes are a huge win. Comfortable straps, arch support, and a nice 1-inch-high platform, this shoe goes great with wide-legged pants, dresses, and for kicking about town." —cheer team captain

"I have had these a few days, so I can’t speak to durability yet; however, these are arguably the most comfortable shoes I’ve purchased EVER. I have torn both Achilles and have residual pain from that. I have purchased Birkenstocks, but these are definitely more comfortable and do not require a breaking in period." —sowhite1113

Promising review: "These sandals are right on trend and so comfortable. I was comparing a few different brands, but I'm glad I went with these. They have a comfortable sole, are true to size, and do not require a break-in period. Would definitely recommend!" —Katja

Get them from Amazon for $37.99 (available in sizes 6–11 and two colors). 

Promising review: "This is my fourth pair! I have them in three other colors besides the natural. I absolutely love these sandals; they are the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn. Two years ago, we took a trip to Disney World in Orlando, and I wore them every single day, all day at each of the Disney parks, and my feet didn't hurt at any time throughout the day or even when we got back to the hotel. I did not have a break-in period, as I got them  two days before our trip. There is a reason I now own four pairs. If you are looking for a cut,e comfortable pair of sandal,s I would highly recommend these." —Neatandtidy

Promising reviews: "Obsessed! Hands-down, the most comfortable pair of sandals I have ever owned. My feet hurt when wearing flip-flops. These have good arch support and are comfortable for walking and long wear. Ordering another color!" —Tia Buchs

"I bought these for a two week trip to Spain as a comfortable alternative to sneakers for going out to dinner and other "nicer" things like that. I wound up wearing them nearly every day, all day. I clocked about 90 miles walking in Spain and I'd say about 80 of those were in these sandals. They are comfortable and supportive and required no breaking in. I did size up a half size after trying on my normal size because the straps, though stretchy, were a little too snug. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a compromise between an athletic/walking sandal and a nice-looking fashionable sandal." —Amazon Customer

Promising reviews: "Love love love these sandals they are so comfy! I have worn them in several states while traveling and needed to walk for long distances. They are my favorite comfy cute shoes for home and to go out. I wear them all the time!" —faerygirl72

"Very comfortable with good arch support, I liked them so much I bought another color. I found no bad odors, they are thick and give a decent cushion to them. The buckles allow me to adjust the size to fit my slender feet very nicely. The fit was great immediately, no break-in period. My feet tend to hurt with most things I put on but not an issue with these. The arch I repeat is very nice and helps me out a lot!" —E. Saldana

Promising reviews: "These sandals are SO comfortable. I got them to wear on a trip to Hawaii, and they were the best thing I brought. Easy to walk in the sand, so commutable to walk on any terrain. You can wash them off if they get dirty. So cushy and soft. Velcro for easy walking and adjustments. Such a good sandal for a walking or beach trip. I can't wait to wear them this summer. They are so cute too!! The mid-height is the perfect height and can be dressed up or down. So cute with activewear or with a summer dress. Love!!" —natasha

"I bought these shoes on our trip to Europe and wore them while backpacking for two weeks. I rotated between these and a pair of Dr. Scholl’s while walking around, and they were incredibly comfortable. I didn’t get any blisters at all—even without breaking them in beforehand. I wore them all around Italy and Switzerland." —Kristina Tataris

Promising review: "I rarely give out a 5-star rating for a sandal, but this is exactly what I needed for my chronic tendonitis. The sole is soft but comfortable, and the strapping provides sturdy support. I was looking for something affordable and a style that didn't look "old lady orthopedic." I've only had them a month, so I can't attest to durability, but so far they've been great. In that month, I've worn them almost daily, in rough terrain, on long walks, and while driving for several hours at a time. They were comfortable and didn't require "breaking in." I bought a second pair in a different color." –Deb

Promising review: "I LOVE these sandals. They look exactly like far more expensive sandals currently being sold at high end dept. stores. The height gives a casual to dressy vibe which I love. Its not a wedge, its even, so its not like wearing a heel its like wearing comfy flats with an elevated look. The espadrille heel is very current and and makes them more fashionable. No break in period, comfortable from the start. The fit is true to size! I actually purchased a very similar far more expensive pair ( 0ver 100 dollars more expensive) and BTW they were also "vegan" leather and NOT nearly as comfortable! I find price does not always go hand in hand with comfort or even quality. These are a great current and comfortable summer sandal!" —Laurie P.

Promising reviews: "After hearing glowing reviews on these, I bought them for our European vacation, which consisted of a TON of walking! I am so glad I did! I have had them since October and just ordered a new pair. I used them on the European vacation, the Disney vacation, the Las Vegas trip, and the California trip. I am not boasting about vacations, but I want you to know how well they hold up with so much walking. If you wear them for just normal everyday use, they will last much longer. Only con is when they get wet, they take forever to dry out." —Cambria

"Great quality!! I ordered my usual size and it fits perfect. My feet don't sweat, no blistered, and didn't need breaking in. I'm hoping to get other colors. They are perfect for long walks or just a quick trip to the store." —911reader

Promising reviews: "So comfortable and nostalgic! Wore them while on vacation, and because of how comfortable and breathable they were in the hot, humid weather, I wore them nearly every day. A lot of the fellow moms complimented them. They were great and went with everything. Held up on long walks, beach trips (easy to rinse off), and pool days." —Tyler Kassner

"Straight out of the box, they’re the comfiest sandals. This is my second pair, and I haven’t had to break in either pairs. There’s no rubbing blisters or anything. They’re super cute and are scented, to boot!" —Jess

Promising review: "Right out of the box, fit was perfect. I’ve been purchasing this brand for a long time. Each time I order, the size is perfect in a 6 medium. Not all brands fit the same with each order. Keen does for me. I have one toe that is a bit different and nothing rubs. The soles are comfortable, with no break-in period. The bungee cord has quite a bit of room to adjust. I have a pair of Keen boots that are my go to during the fall/winter. Have had them probably 13–15 years or so. Still look great. I ordered this pair of sandals in Smoke Blue, which looks a little smokey, bluish teal. Very good color with jeans and neutrals." —amazon2012

Promising review: "From the moment I put these shoes on, they were super comfortable. No breaking in — can walk all day with these and they don’t slip off. These sandals are amazing. I have neuropathy in my feet and it’s a great shoe for me. I wear a size 9 and the fit was true to size for me — thank goodness for adjustable straps. Will probably buy another pair soon." —larry proodian

Promising review: "I bought these for work, but quickly found excuses to wear them everywhere. They are the most comfortable shoes that I bought online. No break-in period, no weird fit, just the perfect casual sandals. The rhinestones are the best little extra pop. Everyone was asking me where I got my sandals from and I gave them the link. Just don’t get them wet; the top is suede and doesn’t take kindly to water. Will definitely buy again." —Dante Black

I have a high arch and was concerned about getting into the shoe. Absolutely no problem. Soft, beautiful, comfortable - everything I wanted. Now I have to decide what color next. 🤔" —Dot K

Me feet were never sore at the end of the day. I can’t recommend these enough. They go with shorts, pants or a casual dress. Super lightweight and compact for packing." —KaityK

They feel like literal clouds on my feet. I highly recommend to anyone!!! My absolute favorite shoes. I’m a 7.5 and own regular crocs so I am comfortably a size 8. They are to worth it!!!! Get them!!!" —Lauren

Promising reviews: "Got these to go on vacation to the carribean. I have really picky feet and have to be very selective about my shoes or my plantar fasciitis will flare up and I'm miserable and can hardly walk. These shoes were wonderful, ended up wearing them most of the time, even frequently chose them over my Keens. They looked great with whatever I chose to wear from swimming gear, shorts, dress, or pants. Often got compliments on them. Would definitely buy again. Now I just wish they passed dress code for work." —Country girl

Promising reviews: "This is the second pair of Reef Higher Sandals I have purchased. The last pair lasted me over two years of heavy wear. They are the most comfortable and supportive sandals I have ever owned. The style is cute with jeans, shorts, and dresses — literally everything I pair with them. I have walked all day in them and my feet and legs do not get fatigued. I have other styles of Reef that are great also. Wonderful products and great customer service." —Meghan Norton

"Love these so much I got a backup pair! Very comfortable with no break-in period. They are light and easy to walk in. Have been on my feet for hours and had no blisters or soreness. I get compliments almost every time I wear them! May have to get them in another color. Worth the $$ and fit true to size." —Trish

Promising review: "I have two colors and they’re perfect! No need to break them in. They’re super comfortable and supportive. They are very light. The three adjustable straps help to adjust width if needed. I am an 11 in women’s, 9.5 in men’s and a 42 in eu, and they fit exactly. Order your size. If you’re a half size, order up bc the back strap allows you to adjust the length.Color is exact to photos and the quality is very nice! Definitely worth the money!" —Paige

Promising review: "There are seriously the most comfortable sandals I’ve ever owned—and I hate wearing shoes so I’ve had a lot of sandals.

No blisters, no need to break em in, no need to worry about them breaking while you walk or them getting too dirty to wear. The literal only complaint I could see is that they might get sweaty inside since the material is in no way breathable, but that’s honestly true of tons of sandals and may not be a problem for everyone. Other than that, they’re comfortable, supportive, they look nice, they’re easy to match with things and easy to clean, so the fact that they are also really inexpensive to boot is just perfection." —Paige
