So many sandals, so few feet.
Plus, they zip up in the back so you'll never have to futz with an annoying buckle 🙌.
Promising review: "I love, love, love these shoes. The block heel is very comfortable, and the front strap is loose enough for my wide feet. The scalloped straps don't dig into your foot. They do run a bit big (I'm usually between a 9 and a 9.5, and the 9 here was perfect). I was skeptical about the material, but they are soft and smooth like real suede." —I. Koehncke

Promising review: "I bought these over three years ago and am now a hardcore believer in Birkenstock. So comfortable! They've lasted so long, I'm just now buying my second pair and will be making my first pair the 'around the house' sandal. They're the only shoe that completely eliminates my foot/back pain. It's awesome. Once you get them they take a few days to break in/mold to your foot but after all that you'll love them forever. Get these!" —MC

Promising review: "Love love love these shoes!!!!! I don't normally buy cheap shoes because my feet suffer. But I just wanted a really cute low-heel, open-toe sandal to wear to my sister's wedding. I knew I would probably just wear them one time, so I didn't want to spend a ton of money. These shoes are gorgeous, comfortable, and I just ordered them in two other colors!!! You can dress them up or dress them down, so they are totally versatile!" —Leah

Promising review: "I have purchased these in white, black, and orange. They are the perfect simple summer shoe for an office. I generally wear an 11 W but the normal 11 fits perfectly for me. They do take a bit to break in but are now super comfortable. Really hoping they bring these back in more colors!" —nicolevt
Get them from Target for $22.99 (available in sizes 5-12 and in three colors).
Promising review: "These sandals are fun, super comfy, and (in the rose-gold color) are SO easy to match up with any outfit. I also got these in teal and love them just as much. I was skeptical because they are quite inexpensive: BUT I find them to be of great quality. I have wide size 8.5 feet... I got one pair in an 8.5 and the other in a 9. They both fit fabulously. Even when the excessive heat makes my feet swell they are still super comfy and forgiving." —The PAK
Get them from Amazon for $26.71+ (available in sizes 6-11 and in 18 colors).
Promising review: "For these sandals, I ordered an 8.5 in the brown. They fit true to size. My feet are wide, so I was worried that the strap near the toes would be too narrow, but it wasn't! I'm also happy to report that these shoes were comfortable to wear right out of the box. I've worn them about five times now (for varying degrees of time — a few hours to all day) and, since the straps have molded to my feet a bit more, they are even more comfortable. I don't think these sandals would be ideal for a lot of walking around (at a theme park, on vacation, etc.) but they are great for work, errands, or other activities that alternate between walking and sitting. Overall, I would definitely recommend them!" —Chelsea MB

Promising review: "They look really nice, not cheap at all!!! I bought these for me but my daughter loved them as well. Good purchase you won’t regret. My size is 5 but got a 5.5, there is not much of a difference. Yes, get these asap!!!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I've always loved Rainbow sandals and was very sad when my puppy chewed up my favorite color. I finally managed to order a new pair and I couldn't be happier! I think I own four pairs of Rainbows now and I don't think I'd be happy with any other brand. I love the wide straps, and the longevity of these sandals is phenomenal! I think one of the pairs I own is over 8 years old and still looks amazing. I can't wait to break this pair in more. These are definitely my go-to sandals for summer!" —Shannon Boothby

Promising review: "I love these shoes. Finally, shoes that actually fit my wide feet and I do not have to cry. Usually, I give up and either order shoes that are too big overall or go to men's. I ordered a 6.5 based on the suggestion to go down a size and I had to send them back and get a 6. These shoes really are long." —Amazon Customer

Get them from Zappos for $39 (available in sizes 6–10 and in two colors).
Promising review: "So satisfied with this purchase. Overall, the shoe was extremely lightweight, and the block heel made walking in these very stable and comfortable. When it comes to most footwear, I am a true size 7. However, my feet are skinny/bony and with dress sandals like these, I tend to go down half a size so that my feet are not slipping around. The size 6.5 in these were absolutely perfect, and I was able to stand in these for a five- to six-hour event. I did experience pain/discomfort at the end of the night, but these are hands-down the most comfortable dress shoes I've ever worn and the longest I've ever lasted without having to take off my shoes! Highly recommend." —Susan

Promising review: "I selected these shoes during a search for sandals that I can walk in and I'm happy to say I like them so much! I wear prescription orthotics (to correct over-pronation) in regular shoes and have to go without them in sandals. These sandals have enough arch support and hold on my feet, thanks to the adjustable strap, that I am comfortable for long days of walking." —Anonymous

They are the color described and are comfortable." —Laura J.

Promising review: "These are everything! I have always liked these sandals and decided to treat myself. I am more than content with my purchase. They are sturdy, true to size, and width. I wear an 8.5 and I ordered an 8.5. They are well-made — not floppy. This investment will last for a long time and they appear to be a classic. It looks just like the picture and won't go out of style. I was happy it comes with two dust bags to help preserve them. I am excited to wear them this summer. Buy them — you will not be disappointed!" —SUPERCALAFRAGILISTIC

Promising review: "Most comfortable sandals I have ever owned! They feel a bit loose in the front, but they're so soft that if they were tighter I'm sure they would give you blisters. The gold color dresses up any outfit without making it look like you're trying too hard. I love that I can wear these to church or to class." —Natojan

Promising review: "These are my go-to summer sandals! They are a bit stiff on the first few wears, but they soon conform to your foot perfectly and you won't want to wear anything else! Purchased because my previous Jacks finally had to be retired, but the quality is consistently great, and the fit is true to size. The platinum color goes with everything! I highly recommend!" —csw2310

Promising review: "My go-to sandal! I was skeptical at first because they're so light, but they're incredibly durable and resistant to wear in comparison to similar summer sandals. They were also a little noisy at first whenever there was moisture, resulting in some funny sound effects; however, this resolved itself after a short time of regular use. My husband became a big fan as well after he wore his pair for a few days and saw how great they fit and feel." —farmershab

Not too high or too short. Very comfy. I thought the shoes were a sandy beach color, it even looks like it in the photo. It has sandy beach color undertones, but more goldish." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "These sandals are absolutely amazing. I bought these as comfy sandals to walk around Santa Fe in for a vacation. I never once got a blister nor was I uncomfortable. I actually wore these hiking through Bandelier National Monument in New Mexico and I was amazed how perfect these were. We did a 4-mile hike climbing up steep stairs, ladders, and through the woods. The sandals held up amazingly well. They were more stylish than Tevas and worked just the same! These look great with dresses, shorts, and pants as well." —RandiWaldo

Promising review: "I wear a 9.5 and ordered a size 10 and they still feel a tad small, but not terrible. The gold buckle feels very sturdy. The braided front part feels a bit scratchy, but I'm sure that will go away after I break them in. If not, I could always put some moleskin underneath and problem solved. The ankle strap is soft and comfortable. These are flat sandals with no arch support at all but that doesn't bother me. They run a bit narrow so if you have a wider foot these might not be a good choice. They are very flattering and cute. Great price! I love them!" —Crystal

Promising review: "These sandals are great! I'm 5-foot-11 and typically wear a size 10 but always have to go to 11s when I buy flats. After reading other reviews, I went with the 10 and I'm so glad I did! Usually my feet look super big when I wear flats but these sandals don't do that to them! I bought the leopard print and they are adorable! Walking through my house instilled some confidence that they will hold up for a while at least. The only thing I don't like is that you have to slip your foot through the back look to get them on and then buckle it. But these are definitely great for the price." —Rachel Sheets
