1. A pair of Croc platforms that might even convince that one anti-Croc-er to rock a pair. I mean just look at them, they barely even look like Crocs. You know you want a pair. It'll be our little secret.
Promising reviews: "They are so comfortable and true to size. I didn’t feel like I needed to break them in and they haven’t given me any blisters! I wore them to a concert and felt like I was in sneakers. They’re perfect for occasions where you will be on your feet but still want something cuter than normal." —Korin
"These sandals are a game-changer. One of my friends got a pair and I thought they were the cutest shoes ever, I did a double-take when she told me they were Crocs. Really? That ugly clog-making company? Well, call me a Crocs convert because I want a pair in every color. I’ll die in these shoes because I’m never going to take them off. It feels like you’re walking on clouds, they’re so comfortable and supportive. The gradual platform looks edgy but is super easy to walk in, it does not feel like heels or wedges — I can still run after my toddler all day. These elevated sandals have changed me life. They go with everything — jeans, shorts, dresses. Buy the shoes, guys." —O.S.
Get them from Amazon for $41.24+ (available in sizes 4–11 and in 17 colors).
2. A pair of water-friendly sandals ideal for a trip to the beach that are designed for people with wide feet, plantar fasciitis, arch pain, bunions, heel pain, and more. Narrow feet can still rock them too, and experience the same comfort.
Promising reviews: "I love these sandals for my plantar fasciitis. The support and comfort are great. They are resistant if wet, but they are not for sports in water, your feet will slip if you try to walk in a lake or river. For a sport shoe that holds tight to your foot, you should ask for water shoes in a sport store." —Celine D.
"I love these sandals! I had lisfranc surgery a few years back and am constantly on the lookout for a supportive sandal that I can wear outdoors (in the dirt, water, sand). I find Tevas and Chacos a bit uncomfortable, but these are like heaven. Great arch support and secure straps. The straps are surprisingly comfortable despite being plastic. I expected blisters on my first few wears but didn't even find any hotspots! They're easy to wash, too, just give them a rinse with the hose. My one concern is that the velcro may wear out, but it hasn't shown any signs after a month. I typically wear an 8.5 and tend to get wide sizes, and an 8 fits perfectly." —Cari
Get it from Aetrex for $48.97+ (originally $69.95; available in sizes 5–11 and 10 colors).
3. A pair of Franco Sarto asymmetrical sandals featuring a wide strap and a playful color palette best suited for a chill day outdoors.
Promising reviews: "I love the soft leather wide straps that keep my foot in place. Great cover for wide feet like mine. Comfortable and dressy." —Goodlooking10
"Super comfortable and love the Goldenrod color. True to size with leather straps. Look expensive!" —Cherikins
Get it from Nordstrom for $99 (available in sizes 5–10 and 11 colors).
4. Elastic sandals that'll gently hug your feet, but not too tightly for us wide-footed people. It's a basic sandal made snazzy with its crisscross design.
5. A pair of ankle strap open-toe flatforms just begging to stand in line with you at the local food truck at your city's next summer event.
6. Sandal slides for a slip-on-and-go type of sandal for all of your seasonal festivities. They also have a built-in arch support system for added comfort throughout the day.
7. Some braided rope sandals because they'll go great with any summer style you throw its way — a dress, skirt, shorts, or jeans. It's on the list of enduring shoe trends for a reason.
8. A strappy classic you'll definitely want to hide in the back of your closet in case you don't want your roommates to keep ~borrowing~ them.
9. Platform gladiator Dr. Martens with an air-cushioned sole so you can carry around that chunky look you get from your fave boots without having sweaty toes.
10. A funky sandal wedge to give your OOTD a statement piece that'll stop traffic. Plus, the colorful beadwork gives you an amazing palette to inspire your daily fashion.
11. A pair of tie-up sandals, an otherwise basic sandal with a dainty tie at the ankle that gives a peekaboo of fancy.
12. A pair of color pop slides in case you've ever wondered what it would feel like to walk on the fluffiest marshmallows.
13. A pair of platform wedges from Dr. Scholl's sure to have you feel as though you're walking on sunshine. Your tootsies will enjoy the anatomical cushion courtesy of comfort insole technology.
14. Stunning Sam Edelman heels to give any summer outfit you have on a fun, fancy flair.
15. A pair of sandals designed with a comfortable wedge made of cork and an open toe to show off your new summer pedicure.
16. Low wedge sandals created for tricky toes that tend to swell in the heat. Thanks to these stretchy elastic straps that mold to your shape and size, you can think of them like a bandage bodycon dress that perfectly hugs your bod — but for your gorgeous feet instead!
17. Rubber slides so comfy, they'll be the first thing you pack for your upcoming vacay. And best believe, these waterproof mavens will leave p-lenty of space for your toes to b-r-e-a-t-h-e on the the beach...
18. Timeless Teva sandals you'll be ready to take on a stroll the moment they arrive at your house. And their extra-wide footbed and adjustable straps are so well-crafted, you might even forget you're wearing anything down there.
19. Blowfish wedge sandals with faux leather straps and comfy canvas material that are ready to take on all warm weather activities. Essentially, any linen-based 'fit — that's equally as breathable as these shoes — cannot wait to go to brunch, the beach, or a picnic at the park paired up with these.
20. Yoga sling flip-flops with the durable, cushiony softness you might find in a yoga mat. No, seriously, these are made from the same material found in the equipment you do a downward dog on — so you already know you're gonna feel complete zen the moment these grace your toes.
21. Ankle strap wedges if wearing sky-high heels to weddings just isn't your thing. These dream boats are the perfect compromise of fashion meets stamina, since you can go from the ceremony to the dance floor in something that will look so chic, but won't bother the balls of your feet.
22. Dunes studded wedge sandals that say sayonara to blisters since their straps feel like butter, and the footbeds? Oh, they're like cushions. Cue your sigh of relief now that you've found a comfortable style that also looks *damn* good.
