Get them from Amazon for $25.82+ (available in sizes 5.5–11 and 16 colors)

Promising review: "These sandals felt comfortable right off the start. I have trouble keeping flip-flops on, but the strap and toe strap keep them exactly on your foot. The cushion and arch are very good. You feel like you're walking barefoot. I will definitely recommend!" —Gardengal

Get them from Amazon for $44.99 (available in sizes 6–11, two strap styles, and 19 colors).

Promising review: "These Cushionaire sandals are amazing! I got the brown pair, and the color is exactly what I was hoping for! A cool-toned brown that goes with everything. They look just like Birkenstock but for a fraction of the price! I sized up to a 9.5 (I’m normally a 9) because the reviews were mixed, and I’m so glad I did. The fit is perfect. The heel cushion makes them incredibly comfortable. I can already tell I’ll be living in these all summer long. Don’t hesitate on these, seriously!" —Daniela K.

Get them from Amazon for $33.23+ (available in sizes 5–12, wide sizes, and 20 colors).

Promising review: "I have these slides in seven colors. They are beyond comfortable! They actually feel therapeutic when I put them on. Whenever I wear the cow or leopard prints, no fail, I get complimented on them! I had a woman chasing me through a parking lot last week to ask where I got them! I wear them all the time, and they are extremely well-made. Highly recommend!" —K Lamel

Get them from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in women's sizes 4–16, men's sizes 3–14, and 15 colors).

Promising reviews: "I love these with a cute summer dress. The height is perfect, too." —Marissa

"These shoes can be worn anywhere, anytime! Going to work or out to dinner, and especially traveling! You won’t want to take them off, and when you do, your feet don’t hurt!" —Vegas Grandma

Get them from DSW for $79.99 (available in sizes 5–12, limited wide sizes, and four colors). 

Promising review: "I got these shoes for camping because flip-flops just don't work out in the forest. Everybody else had shoes like these, so I figured I needed a pair too. I got them and wore them around for short periods of time and found them to be very comfortable. Just came back from a five-day camping trip in the forest, wore them every day, and they were very comfortable. We had rain, we had hail, and we had sunny weather, and they work great for everything." —stephanie

Get them from Amazon for $69.95+ (available in sizes 4.5–12 and 21 colors/patterns). 

Promising review: "Having various foot issues, I can't do flip-flops, or go barefoot, or wear totally flat sandals. These Croc Brooklyn sandals are heavenly! They cushion your feet, and the bands and wedge-style sole provide support and all-day comfort. I have two pairs (black and tan) and live in them all spring and summer. They go with everything from jeans and shorts to dresses and Capri pants. My #1 go-to sandal!" —Cheryl meister

Get them from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in sizes 4–11 and 11 colors). 

Promising review: "A friend of mine recommended Ecco sandals to me when I was admiring the pair she was wearing. I told her I needed a good sandal that had arch support, as at my age, I can’t wear simple flat leather sandals or flip-flops anymore. She said Ecco is all she’ll buy — that they are super adjustable and comfortable — and while they are a bit pricey, they last for many years. I figured that makes the pricing a lot more reasonable if I could get at least a couple of years out of a pair. Got my first pair yesterday, and they literally are the best-made sandals I’ve ever owned! So comfortable!! I can see them lasting many years, which ends up making them priced quite well. I will be buying more colors! These sandals are amazing!! I can’t recommend them enough!!" —TWH4Gail

Get them from Amazon for $64.95+ (available in sizes 4–12.5 and 35 colors).

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.

Get them from Portland Gear for $129 (available in women's sizes 6.5–15.5, men's sizes 5–14, and three colors).

Promising review: "I love these shoes, they are so cute! I only had the shoes for three days and then wore them for 15 hours working at a college orientation, and they were comfortable all day. I was amazed! Easy to style, sizing is true, and the look is exactly what I was looking for." —Summer S

Get them from Dr. Martens for $119.99 (originally $160; available in sizes 5–12 and in two colors).

Get them from Free People for $80 (available in sizes 6–10 and 10 colors).

Promising review: "These shoes are one of the most comfortable slip-ons. They are much safer than flip-flops and have good arch support, and you can adjust the width. I love them." —Obscure

Promising review: "I was pleasantly surprised at how good the arch support is. Comfortable and they look good. True to size." —Amazon Customer

Promising reviews: "These sandals are absolutely beautiful and good quality! Very comfortable and look great with my bridesmaid dress!" —Thomas Roth

"I can't begin to tell you how much I love these beautiful little sandals. I'm a flip-flop wearer. I cannot stand having things on my feet, but, ya know, just gotta sometimes. I needed something for church besides flip-flops. I can't help but stare at them sparkling during the services sometimes...shhh. :) These are gorgeous, they fit perfectly, they don't bug my feet, and they are comfy to walk on. I'm gonna have to get a couple more pairs for when these wear out. I love them that much." —Bethany

Get them from Amazon for $24.29+ (available in sizes 5.5–10 and 18 colors).

Promising review: "I have a really hard time with heels but these were comfortable and not difficult to walk in, even in grass. They stretched, but didn't 'snap' on the heel (like a flip-flop) as some other similar styles I tried did. Thinking I might need to buy some more colors." —Shannon

Get them from Amazon for $39+ (available in sizes 5–11, wide sizes, and three colors). 

Promising review: "I purchased these heels for graduation in NYC. I received so many compliments on them and walked all over NYC without blisters. They are not only beautiful, but super comfortable! Great quality." —KRIS

Get them from Quince for $92 (available in sizes 5–12 and three colors)

Promising review: "I needed a new pair of rubber sandals. I love these as they are dressier than flip-flops, and I can put Crocs charms on them. They are raised yet stable. Highly recommend." —CJ

Get them from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in black).

Promising review: "I was shocked when I went to buy a new pair in a different color, and it said I've had these sandals for three years!! They're still very comfortable and in good shape!" —Holly N.

Get them from Amazon for $39.95 (available in 5–12 and 16 colors).

Promising reviews: "I love how comfortable they are, they feel nicer than my favorite flip-flops!!  —Tanna LoHouse

"Fun and nostalgic, and actually more comfortable than the original wooden ones. I like that these have the brass studs to attach the upper to the clog, and there is hidden velcro to make adjusting these a cinch! Can't wait to wear these out!" —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $34.76+ (available in sizes 5.5–11 and four colors). 

Promising review: "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

Get them from Amazon for $52.80+ (available in sizes 5–11, including wide sizes, and 11 colors). 

Promising reviews: "I bought these heels to wear to my cousin’s wedding. They are so comfortable! I wore them all afternoon and evening and my feet are not sore at all; no blisters." —Sam

Get them from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in sizes 6–10 and 20 colors). 

Promising reviews: "Comfiest shoes on the planet. I bought them for my trip to Thailand, which included a heavy amount of walking and hiking. I now wear them all the time, even for non-adventurous activities. They are so darn comfortable and have great grip." —Caroline V.

Get them from Amazon for $58.87+ (available in sizes 5–12 and in dozens of styles).

Promising review: "I don't usually spend $120 on shoes, but I was smitten by these beauties and decided to splurge. I'm a solid 8M, and these fit my feet perfectly. I like these sandals because they're more 'solid' than a lot of the flip-flop types. I don't want to worry about my shoes coming off. These cover a lot of your foot, affording you some protection. The leather is buttery. But they don't look clunky or like old lady sandals. If I could find these on sale, I'd buy some more in different colors. Maybe at the end of the season?" —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $90.30+ (available in sizes 6–11 and five colors). 

Promising reviews: "I 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 a 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

Get them from Amazon for $345.05+ (available in sizes 5–12, including narrow and wide widths, and 11 colors).

Promising review: "BEST SANDALS EVER. I wore these sandals every single day on a 16-day European vacation. I was in the water, on the streets, sand, and even hiking in these shoes, and felt nothing but comfort. Being able to wear something transitional between the water and land was perfect for this trip. The adjustable velcro band stayed fully functional and is still as strong as new. These are by far the best sandals I've ever had." —Jackie Beauvaise
