Promising review: "These are THE BEST SHOES EVER!!!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! I have Diabetes and very bad neuropathy in both of my feet and a heel spur on one foot. With ANY of my other shoes, I HAVE to wear a heel pad. This particular pair of shoes, they are wide enough that they don’t scrunch my toes up, my heel doesn’t hurt, I don’t have to wear a heel pad, they have just enough arch support AND they are so comfortable. I’m ordering more!!!" —Tonya Packard

Get them from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in wide sizes 6–11.5 and 10 colors).

Promising reviews: " I have poor arches and suffer from pain. These shoes are comfortable and have great arch support. I live in the desert and sandals are the go to. I’m glad I purchased them, but they do require you to break them in. If you need a pair of good arch support sandals these are great! I also like the look of the sandals. I didn’t want something really bulky. These fit the bill perfectly." —Pete & Melody Johnson

"Fits perfect - true to size. I wear a size 6 consistently and the size 6 fits like a glove. If you run between two sizes I think I would would size up to the larger size that you normally wear. The arch support in these is fantastic! I have only worn them for a couple of days, but I’m going to buy another color and so hope they hold up because I love them!" —HDC

Get them from Amazon for $41.99 (available in sizes 6–11, two styles, and 12 colors).

Promising reviews: "I have really liked these shoes so far. They are super comfortable, and I love the arch support. They may be the most comfortable sandals I have tried to date. They also seem very durable, and I love the overall fit and versatility with outfits. While they look adjustable, though, they are not. The adjustment area seems to only be decorative (though, as a wide-foot person with small feet, I didn't really feel like I needed to adjust them). My only complaint with them is that they have almost no traction." —Susan Bewley

"This is my third pair of Cushionaire Cork Footbed Sandals and they are just as comfortable as my first two pairs. I suffer from Plantar Fasciitis and these are what I wear daily in the warm weather in the South - GREAT arch support and heel cushion." —Catherine V Stan

Get them from Amazon for $33.23+ (available in sizes 5–13, including wide sizes, and in 22 colors).

Seriously, these will keep every part of your foot supported and comfy with NO break-in time. Love.

Promising reviews: "Love these shoes so much! I have planter fibromas on the arch of both feet and often need inserts with all shoes, but not these! So comfortable…I’ve worn them all day for past 2 days, no pain at the end of the day! PLUS, they are cute! My partner loves the distressed suede!! Highly recommend!!!" —cathe e

"Walking on CLOUDS. Like clouds for your feet. I absolutely love my pair and if I ever lose them or run through my current pair will absolutely repurchase immediately. Got a pair for a family friend I loved mine so much. Great fit very supportive and cushioned for cloud feel. Arch support is great and toe box is wide and I LOVE them. Great value. Absolutely worth it and I’d pay more knowing that this is the product tbh." —Cassidy

Promising reviews: "II have very narrow feet and these fit perfectly! Great arch support. Absolutely love them." —Lorraine

"These are more comfortable than I had expected. You see women wearing similar three strap Clarks sandals. I think these have a bit more style, and the ability to adjust each strap for perfect fit is great. Arch support is great, and the soft material on the inner soles is smooth and comfortable. I ordered mine in pewter, which I have now worn on several cruises. I have used them both with dressier outfits and more casual." —MariaS

Portland Gear is all about making water-resistant bags and accessories, so if you're like me and somehow ALWAYS get your shoes wet (and sometimes even your bags), their products are designed to air dry naturally so you can keep on with your day no matter how drenched you get!

Y'all, I keep reaching for these over my beloved Birks. They're THAT comfortable. And I had two other moms ask at the soccer game where I got mine, so I count that as a fashion WIN.

Promising review: "I absolutely love these KEEN Whisper sandals! I bought them for an upcoming hiking trip, but they've quickly become my go-to footwear for everything from trail walks to casual errands. Right out of the box, they were incredibly comfortable—no break-in period needed. The arch support is excellent, and the footbed is cushy enough to wear all day without any soreness. I especially appreciate the closed-toe design, which keeps my feet protected on rocky trails while still allowing for airflow. They’re also super easy to slip on and adjust, thanks to the elastic bungee lacing system. Plus, being machine washable is a huge bonus. Durable, lightweight, and stylish enough to wear beyond just the trail—these sandals check every box. I highly recommend them for anyone who loves the outdoors or just wants a reliable, comfortable summer shoe!" —WENDY L WISNER

Get them from Amazon for $75.95+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 23 colors/patterns). 

Promising review: "I am so impressed with these Crocs Brooklyn Low Wedge heels! The LiteRide foam footbed is a game changer. I’ve worn these for hours at a time—shopping, walking, even to a casual summer event—and my feet felt amazing the whole time. The deep heel cup and added arch support make them feel secure and supportive without being bulky. They’re also super lightweight, so no more tired feet at the end of the day. The adjustable buckle strap is easy to use and keeps the wedges snug without digging in. Best part? They’re so cute! I’m already eyeing another color!" —Over-a-ton

Get them from Amazon for $41.21+ (available in sizes 3–11 and 12 colors). 

Promising reviews: "Just received these in gray and am extremely impressed, I have Hoka Clifton's, so that's what I'm comparing them to. While they are not as cushioning as the Hokas and don't have as much "spring" in the step, they provide great arch support and are on the wide side which provide all comfy room I need and the styling is great. As I said, extremely impressed for the price!! Great fit as well right out of the box." —Living in the Amazon

"Very comfortable, spongy-like insole, once tied can slip into easily, arches feel supported, feet are not sore after a 10-12 hour shift. Tried lots of Amazon shoes and kept these. Pretty colors too!" —AngelaDRN2020

Promising reviews: "These are made well and worth the money for the arch support and comfort." —A. Dren

"OMG... best purchase. I was skeptical but after getting the correct size, I am a #1 fan. Highly recommend. I initially purchased the taupe as recommended (size larger than your true size) and had to return them bc they were too big. Easy return. Repurchased in my true size. Arrived yesterday. OMG. They exceed expectations. Arch support is perfect. I wore for 8 hours and had 0 rub marks or blisters. Fantastic colors. My entire family will receive for Christmas presents in 2026. Pull the trigger and buy. You won’t regret it. Enjoy!" —Truth Seeker

Promising review: "The are the best boots, I am obsessed with them! I am wearing them as I write. GREAT ARCH SUPPORT for those with high arches. Yes they are hard to get on and off at first, like the first couple of days, but then it gets a lot easier do not fear. They felt slightly tight when I got them, but I wore them around the house for a couple of days and they just feel so perfect now. Def a great investment." —Sarah LaScola

Get them from Amazon for $198+ (available in sizes 6–11 and six colors).

Promising review: "Only had them for five days, but the relief from pain in my arch was immediate. I though they were going to be too small when I first put them on, but the arch support is in the exact place it is needed. The insole perfectly cradles my foot,with no slipping The padded straps and toe post are so comfortable they're not noticeable. Flip-flops or not, these are the most comfortable shoes I've ever had. They're like wearing air with support. Whoever designed these—thank you!" —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $41.99 (available in sizes 6–11 and 25 colors). 

Promising review: "I have been wearing these shoes for over a year now and when I tell you the quality is just superb. I tend to run through shoes pretty quickly simply because of how I walk, normally, they start to rip right at the sides of the instep but this hasn’t happened. I wear it for work as a nurse and it’s well cushioned and supports my arch very well. Very light and isn’t slippery at all. Functionality on high and very comfortable. I will also be buying a next one to take me through work." —Imanni Ruddock

Promising review: "I like how lightweight these are. They fit perfectly right out of the box. They have really great arch support! Although they do not look like expensive leather sandals, they work for casual outfits. The only downside is, sometimes my feet get sweaty if it is really hot out.

"SoSos are the most comfortable work shoe I've ever owned! They have arch support and are so comfortable. I was having foot, leg, and back pain before I was told to try these. I work in health-care and am usually on the go all day long. I am on my 3rd pair now and each pair have lasted about a year with me wearing them 5 days a week for anywhere from 8-12 hours a day. They are easily washed too. I have noticed that when they do start to wear out you'll see a hole in the top where your big toe rubs the material. For the price, I don't think they can be beat!" —Lisa
