Promising reviews: "Lovely shoe and perfect for spring!" —MG

"Dare I say these are my new favorite shoes? I wore these to a wedding, and they were so comfortable all evening! They fit true to size, and I truly have no negatives." —112345

Get them from Target for $26.25 (originally $35; available in sizes 6–11).

Promising review: "When you need a summer shoe to match a black outfit, there isn't anything better! These espadrilles are the best! Perfect heel height — they are comfortable to walk in, but not kitten-height. Wore my last pair for three years and am buying both colors this year." —Merry

Get them from Soludos for $119 (available in sizes 5–11 and four colors).

Promising review: "I LOVE these sandals. They look exactly like far more expensive sandals currently being sold at high-end department stores. The height gives a casual-to-dressy vibe, which I love. It's not a wedge, it's even, so it's not like wearing a heel, it's 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 (over 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

Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and a wide variety of colors/styles).

Promising reviews: "I love these shoes so much that I got a second pair in brown! Comfy and stylish! Can go with any outfit." —Patricia

"My new favorite summer shoes. Pulls any outfit together and gives me a little height. I have delicate feet and somehow haven't gotten a single blister from these!" —Ashleen

Get them from Quince for $59.90 (available in sizes 5–10 and three colors). 

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

Get them from Amazon for $13.92+ (available in sizes 5–15, including wide fits, and eight colors).

Promising reviews: "Great price, great fit, and comfortable. Excited to wear for an upcoming beach vacation." —Jenz_W

"Perfect sandal for summer. Can dress it up or down. The color is on the lighter side, not as dark woven." —Mimi

Get them from Anthropologie for $68 (available in sizes 6–11 and three styles).

Promising review: "I LOVE these sandals. I bought my first pair two and a half years ago for a cruise. I put in MILES on that pair. They lasted me these past years until my clumsy butt tripped and snapped one of the straps. The little important toe strap. Of course.

I immediately looked for them again. I needed my comfy sandals. They were an almost daily wear here in Florida. They had the exact ones I had, but lo and behold, what's this? A rose gold color way? Yes, please! The color is subtle enough that you could wear it daily, but shiny enough to wear with a dress and not feel unbalanced. And did I mention how comfortable they are? They are so so comfortable. Buy these." —marimoy

Get them from Amazon for $27.98+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide fits, and 20 styles).

Promising reviews: "Beautiful!! Obsessed! New faves! As a hairdresser, these are the best and cutest, comfiest summer sandals I have!!! 10/10" —Roza S.

"The cutest summer shoes!! And honestly, so comfortable. I walked all day the first time I wore them and felt perfectly fine." —Chalina M.

Get them from Dr. Martens for $100 (available in sizes 5—11).

Promising review: "I absolutely love these. Adorable, looks great with jeans and dresses, and comfortable out of the box. I had seen something similar from another brand at double the price. I will be wearing these all summer." —Aserpa

"Bought these for a holiday and I love them. The leather is so soft. The first time I wore them, I was worried they would rub, but not a blister in sight. Walked everywhere in these and felt great, and lots of people asked me what they were as they liked them so much. Might have to buy another pair!" —LisaJW

Get them from FitFlop for $190 (available in sizes 6—11).

Promising review: "I have these in black and tan, they are so comfortable, and I have literally walked three miles in them with no pain, rubbing, or blisters. They wear well and have become one of my daily shoes in the summer. Looks great with sundress, or jeans and a tank top, and just elevates the outfit a bit." —License2Jill

Get them from Amazon for $29.89+ (available in sizes 6–10 and 19 colors/styles)

Promising review: "These sandals are SOOOO comfortable and super cute!! I bought them for a trip and wore them all day long, 20,000 steps! Got so many compliments too!! Getting another color now! Highly recommended!!" —sssstar

Get it from DSW for $44.98+ (originally $59.99; available in sizes 6—11 and three colors). 

Promising review: "I didn’t think these were going to work with the flower in different spots. To my surprise, they are darling. Comfortable, feminine, and very pretty. I did have to add more holes to the right strap and cut the length. Not sure if it was just a screwup in design in just this pair, but it was an easy fix. Definitely keeping." —sancas

Get them from Free People for $128 (available in sizes 6—11 and three colors).

Promising review: "Bought in three colors. Goes with every outfit. Does the 'barely there' sandal thing without any pain. They are soooo comfy!!! LOVE." —GemmaLynn

Get it from Madewell for $118+ (available in sizes 5–12 and four colors).

Promising review: "This is my third pair of Sanuks. Not because they wear out easily, but because I ended up mowing the lawn in my old pair, without thinking. I had to replace the most perfect sandals I'd ever worn! I decided to get a set of these (pair 2), and another in black (pair 3).

The sandals mold to your feet, as they really are made out of yoga mat material — and not a cheap yoga mat either! They're super soft, and when you step into them, it feels as if they were meant for your foot. After several wears, the shoes really do begin to take on the form of your foot, but they never get too worn. The padding is still significant compared to many other sandals out there. The material between your toes does not cause irritation and has never been a problem. I can easily walk miles in these shoes without a problem or blister.

I'd recommend these to ANYONE! In fact, after insisting on how comfortable they are, I got a pair for my husband, who refuses to wear sandals. He loves his!" —Higher standards

Get them from Amazon for $34.95+ (available in sizes 5-11 and 14 colors).

Promising review: "AMAZING sandals! I've had these sandals for about three months, and have worn them pretty frequently (at least 4–5 times per week). They are comfortable, stylish, and easy to dress up or down. Just a really good, basic, stylish sandal made of good quality materials." —Alexia E.

Get them from Everlane for $98 (available in sizes 5—11 and four colors).

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

Get them from Amazon for $42.74+ (available in sizes 6–12, including wide sizes, and 18 colors/styles). 

Promising review: "These slides perfectly envelop your feet! They are the most comfortable slides I’ve ever worn! I ordered my usual size, and the fit is perfect. I will be ordering more in different colors!" —Nike Customer

Get them from Nike for $65 (available in sizes women's sizes 5–12, men's sizes 4–11, and 10 colors). 

Promising review: "The Hoka Ora Recovery 3 Slides are a game-changer for post-workout comfort. These slides offer plush cushioning that feels like a cloud under your feet, making them perfect for recovery after a tough workout or a long day on your feet. The high-quality materials used ensure durability and long-lasting comfort. The adjustable strap allows for a customizable fit, and the arch support is a welcome addition. The only downside might be the price, but for those prioritizing comfort and recovery, these slides are well worth the investment. Overall, a fantastic choice for anyone seeking superior comfort and support in a slide." —Gaz Simone

"Ridiculously comfortable casual slip-ons. I never want to take them off. Plus, they make me an inch taller, yay!!!" —Badger

Get them from REI for $60 (available in women's sizes 6–16, men's sizes 4–14, and nine colors). 

Promising reviews: "I walked a good 3-4 miles the first weekend I wore them, and they were great. No breaking in time, and the memory foam feels great under the foot. It's well constructed and sturdy, and I can see this lasting for many summers to come." —Nana N.

"These are so cute. Super comfortable and lived-in feeling from the beginning. Adorable sandal." —Ashley G.

Get them from Charlotte Stone for $214+ (available in sizes 5—13 and five colors).

Promising review: "I had the same pair for nearly four summers until repurchasing. The strap on the ankle side came loose. I absolutely loved these and was complimented on them so many times. Wore them to concerts, to work, to somewhat dress up a simple outfit, to walk decently far, truly the sandal for every situation. Great ankle stability. These are not super-thick soled, but I found them very comfortable except when standing/walking for a very long time, which is not great in any heeled sandal. Buy them!" —Angela

Get them from Amazon for $20.68+ (available in sizes 5–10 and eight colors/styles).

Promising reviews: "Love, love, love these sandals, they are so comfy! I have worn them in several states while traveling and while walking 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. 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 with these. The arch, I repeat, is very nice and helps me out a lot!" —E. Saldana

Get them from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and seven colors). 

Get them from Reformation for $328 (available in sizes 5–10).

Promising reviews: "What can I say, Teva makes the most comfortable sandal right out of the box. Love this one with all the colors to go with about everything. Put them on and walk. Very comfortable for long periods. They are not slippery on wet docks or the boat. Velcro straps stay put and even when getting wet working, and last a long time. Stylish and fit perfectly." —Thubley

"I loved how comfortable these sandals were to walk in for long periods of time. If you don't love wearing sneakers in spring/summer, these are a great alternative for long walks. Recently, I took these with me on a trip that required a lot of walking to get around, and out of all my shoes, I used these the most." —Joselyn

Get them from Amazon for $30.44+ (available in women's sizes 5–14, men's sizes 3–12, select children's sizes, and a variety of colors/styles). 

Promising reviews: "These are actually perfect. At least for me. I’m truly tempted to buy a second color. Quality feels very high considering the price." —kldenny

"These sandals are super cute. I hesitate to buy heels on sale because they never fit right, but I was amazed by how comfortable these were. Loved them." —ccccom

Get them from Nordstrom Rack for $39.97 (originally $65; available in sizes 6–11 and three colors/styles).

Promising reviews: "I live in these all year. I got a pink and black. Love, love, love. You can wash them in the sink, and then they are ready to go again." —Anonymous

"Comfortable, stylish buckle, great for walking, outside activities, or casual wear. Super affordable!" —Joli Rae

Get them from Nordstrom for $59.95 (available in sizes 5–10.5 and six colors).

Promising review: "I bought these for a trip to New Orleans, which involved lots and lots of walking in high humidity. I literally got compliments on them everywhere we went, and they were so comfortable I could wear them all day. We walked miles and miles, and my feet didn't hurt (which is a small miracle given that I have arthritis). They're surprisingly durable, and the woven fabric is incredibly soft. Even with my feet swelling from the heat and humidity, they were still pretty darn comfy. I highly recommend these sandals and plan to buy a few more pairs." —UrbanUtah

Get them from Amazon for $29.66+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 20 colors/styles).

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 for 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

Get them from Amazon for $47.78+ (available in sizes 5–12 and a wide variety of colors and styles).

Promising review: "These slides are perfect for warmer weather. They are comfortable, have good support, and will go with so many outfits this summer." —Whitney S.

Get them from Rothy's for $109 (available in sizes 5–13 and two colors). 

Promising reviews: "This is my third pair of Taos Gift in about two years. I wear them nearly every single day — they are just that comfortable, and they hold up beautifully, even the metallic colors. I actually prefer them to my athletic shoes for walking. They are comfortable and supportive right out of the box. Perfect for travel when you'll be doing a lot of walking. They're the best! I just wish they would occasionally come out with a bright wild color like orange or turquoise, just for fun, but their neutrals and metallics fill the bill." —Anonymous

"I saw this sandal on a friend last summer, and I fell in love with the style. When she told me they were Taos. I was even more interested because their arch support is recommended for plantar fasciitis. I finally got around to ordering a pair, and I am not disappointed. They felt comfortable immediately — the velvety-soft insole and the toe peg do not irritate, a major concern with thong styles. The metallic color makes them suitable for dressing up or down, and I plan to wear them on my next cruise with my dressy pants outfit." —Anonymous

Get it from Zappo's for $150 (available in sizes 6–12 and two colors). 

Promising review: "I absolutely love these sandals. They are so comfy straight out of the box and look good with everything. They are expensive but will be worn for years. Nearly every pair of shoes I own is Fitflops. And as someone on their feet all day, these are the best. Now waiting for some occasion to wear these slightly dainty shoes!" —Henna13

Get them from Amazon for $190 (available in sizes 6–11).

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 pair. There’s no rubbing blisters or anything. They’re super cute and are scented, to boot!" —Jess

Get them from Amazon for $47+ (available in sizes 5–13 and over 30 colors).
