Promising review: "I originally ordered an expensive pair of slippers from a well-known company and they were not comfortable. Came across these based on their good reviews and wow, they are the most comfortable slippers I've ever had. Nice cushioning, warm but not too warm, and breathable.

I wear these all day long and never have any issues with blisters or aching feet. They fit true to size, in my opinion, and may even stretch the tiniest bit after you wear them for a while. I wore them all over Europe for two weeks without breaking them in, which I was hesitant about, but I never once had trouble with them. They're amazing! Buy them, you won't regret it!" –Allyson J.

Promising review: "Lightweight, breathable, and supportive. I love these shoes! They were snug at first as is expected with this brand. After wearing them for an hour they stretched comfortably around my strange duck feet and the insole began to conform while offering amazing support for such a simple slip on. Did I mention I love them?" –Janette Wilkins

Promising review: "These shoes are pretty much the fanciest ones I've worn since the pandemic started — I'm usually in slippers, flip flops, or sneakers. And I have to say, these are just as comfy as any of those. I've probably owned 50 pairs of ballet flats over the years, and I'd rank these right up there with shoes that cost three or four times as much. They fit perfectly (I love that they come in wide!) and are so comfortable to wear, even if you're doing lots of walking. I'm so glad I bought multiple colors and will probably buy more!" —CaliGirl89

My colleague Danielle Healy has these sandals and says: "I cannot say enough wonderful things about these sandals. I got them for my birthday last year. These sandals required ZERO break-in time and were ready for long-term wear right out of the box. For a hiking sandal, I think they still look sleek enough to pair with a casual sundress, and they keep my feet cool while still managing to put an actually supportive sole between my feet and the sidewalk."

Get them from Amazon for $65+ (available in sizes 5–12 and in 21 colors).
Promising review: "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.
Get them from Amazon for $26.99 (available in many colors and sizes 6–11).
Promising review: "I bought these sandals before a three-week trip in Europe; I didn't want to pay for Birks but did want something in similar style with good arch support. I was a little skeptical about the low price but gave them a shot...and they were the MOST comfortable sandals I've ever owned. I walked over 120 miles in them in three weeks on our trip and never once had foot pain. They broke in so quickly and were very supportive from the get-go — and still are! Highly recommend." —Han Lin
Get them from Amazon for $43.99 (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 21 styles).
Promising review: "I am very pleased with these shoes. Price is right and they look awesome and are very comfortable and I thought the top was all plastic but it is a very tight woven silky and thick fabric which lets the foot breathe. I just placed an order for the grey ones." —good shopper
Get them from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and in nine colors — not all colors available in all sizes).

Promising review: "The shoes were comfortable from the moment I put them on. I walked all day at school, then went shopping, and remarkably, after about 11 hours, the shoes still were comfortable! I will be checking out some of the other colors in this style!!!" —Leah G. Mcllvain
Get them from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 5–11, wide sizes, and 27 colors).
Promising review: "Very comfortable shoe. I am a 9 usually and bought a 9, it's tight but I like it that way. If you plan to wear socks or have a wider foot, I suggest going up a .5 size or a full size. But they are very cute and just what I needed. Solid material, very breathable, and easy to wear for long periods of time." —Fabienne Christian

Sizing up a half size if you have wide feet is recommended.
Promising review: "I have purchased three different pairs of these shoes because of the color variety and the comfort! I’ve had my black and gray pair for 3+ years and I still wear them. When traveling overseas, I wanted something neutral to blend with everything I wore. First time wearing them was walking around Portugal walked 13,000 steps that day and they were perfect! I never had any rubbing or cuts on my feet from where they touch my ankles. As a slip on shoe, I never felt unsecured walking up inclines, cobblestones or stairs while traveling. This is my go to for a slip on shoe because of the color options & comfortability" —Bethany

Get them from Amazon for $24.80+ (available in sizes 4–15 and in 25 styles).
I've had these shoes for over two years as of this writing and can confirm they really hold up to wear and tear. They're a great option for when I'm wearing a dress or jeans but want to feel a bit more "dressed up." My girlfriends always compliment me when I wear these!
Promising review: "I wish I could say this was an exaggeration, but I can probably count on two hands how many times I have worn something other than Rothy's point shoes a year. I have hiked in them. I wore them to the maternity ward when I gave birth. Video for proof. They GO with EVERYTHING." —Ariel W.
Get them from Rothy's for $155 (available in sizes 5–13 and 37 styles).
FYI, aside from their style and comfort, Tevas are *known* for their durability — one reviewer said their first pair lasted for over 20 YEARS. This isn't your average sandal that falls apart after one season.
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
"My niece recommended Teva so I decided to give it a try, especially for an upcoming trip to the mountains. Yesterday, I was caught in a rainstorm and stepped into a stream of rainwater that was over my feet. My Tevas performed beautifully. They dried quickly, didn't slip in the water, and they also stayed perfectly on my feet. I like the adjustability of the straps in several places where you can fit it to your foot. I actually bought two pairs (different colors) of Tevas at the same time, and I am enjoying both of them! I highly recommend!" —J L Phillips
Get them from Amazon for $70+ (available in sizes 5–14 and so many colors/patterns/styles).
Promising review: "These are a perfect fit and feel like I am slipping my feet into butter. They are airy and cool. I tested them out and vacuumed and mopped the house in them. No sweaty feet, no slipping on the wet floor. They can go with anything, Dress them up, formal wear, throw 'em on with cut off shorts and a tank top, a sundress, jeans and tee, any thing, even PJs. They are shoes to travel in, fly in, go to Disneyland in. They cover my whole foot and I don't have to worry about missing the pedicure lady. They don't pinch, they are well made, no threads or seams pinch or are stiff or give me pressure spots to cause blisters or soreness after hours of wear — it's like going barefoot. Get a little dirt on them, and they just wipe right off. I will definitely be buying another pair from this company. For the price, they are worth it." —hotmdc
Get them from Amazon for $23.46+ (available in sizes 5–12 and in nine colors).
Promising reviews: I’m constantly walking during my shift and needed shoes that were comfortable and that didn’t looked ugly as I have to dress professionally. These are the most comfortables shoes I’ve bought, I feel like I’m walking in the clouds." —Jose Saez
"The holy grail of flats. The stretchy material keeps your feet from getting sweaty. I've walked 10,000–15,000 steps outside in humid Midwest summer heat in these, and they don't get icky. That memory foam insole somehow doesn't get gross either; it's cushy yet doesn't seem to absorb sweat." —Cat D. and Co.
Get them from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes 5–11, including wide sizes, and in four colors).
