It's time to stock up for sandal season!
Promising review: "I very hesitantly broke these sandals in at a four-day music festival! And they felt GREAT! I did do as others suggested and got them wet (actually wore them in the shower) and trekked around to soften them up first, but their maiden voyage went smoothly and I can happily report I have had no soreness or blisters while wearing them. Sizing was as described, too; I wear a 9 US and the 7 UK works well." —Tori

Promising review: "These are very cute! The fabric on top is so soft and I can't stop touching it. They sort of look like slippers on, but I think they will be nicer to wear to work than flip flops." —UAstudentn
Get them from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and in four colors).
Promising review: "Obsessed with these sandals! The rose gold color is stunning, flattering, and coordinates oh so well. The design of the straps receives high marks as I noticed no uncomfortable rubbing or 'cutting' — even after walking seven-plus miles in them. My only trivial comment is that the rear zipper diminishes the "grab and go" characteristic of these shoes — but seriously, a minor issue compared to the rest of this shoe's beauty. And did I mention all of this for a mere $40? Hands down one of my favorite footwear purchases to date." —Anonymous

Promising review: "These sandals are super cute and comfortable. I wore them all day today (for the first time) with no issues. They are perfect, not too tight or too loose, just enough space to accommodate different width feet. I'm going to order another color!" —Maine

Get them from Walmart for $27.99 (available in sizes 5.5–11 and in brown, white, black, and nude).
Promising review: "These sandals are perfect! They look dressy enough to wear with a nice summery dress out to dinner, and yet not so stuffy that I couldn't throw on a pair of shorts and a T-shirt and head out to the park. They are a DREAM to walk in!!! The 'strap' material is stretchy enough to accommodate moving around and walking, and yet supportive enough to feel like these shoes won't fall off. They do give a very slight tug back into place, if that makes sense. The cushion is perfectly squishy without being too squishy — just enough squish for my plantar fasciitis to be happy walking in these all day. No, seriously...ALL DAY." —Scano The Mano
Get them from Amazon for $11.48+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in 47 colors/patterns).
Promising review: "These are one of the most comfortable flat shoes I ever purchased. The cork footbed makes them comfortable to walk around in all day. These are a staple for my summer and a cheaper alternative to Birkenstocks which I also wish to purchase." —Gg

Promising review: "Wore these hiking 2 km down and then 2 km back up a mountain in Crete to get to a remote beach, six weeks after a grade-3 sprain. Does that tell you how comfortable these sandals are?! No chafing, no slippage, nothing. These are fabulous! I bought them in two colors and am so glad I did. Perfect fit!" —A. Elliss
Get them from Amazon for $32.99 (available in sizes 5–11 and in seven colors).
Promising review: "Beautiful and comfortable all night, even while wearing a heavy gown. I'm a plus-sized woman with wide feet (and buntings) and these were perfect. Didn't cut into my feet and were simple — exactly what I wanted." —Natalia Y.

Promising review: "SO pretty. For the amount of money you pay you get a fantastic sandal. The material is smooth and looks and feel like real leather, and the sole has a little bit of cushioning, fact that I appreciate so much! There are a lot of sandals out there that have that tough sole and at the end of the day your feet will be incredibly sore. The color combo makes it simple yet elegant, it will dress up any outfit without sacrificing the comfort. Def will be getting a second pair!" —S&B Martin

Get them from Aldo for $16 (available in size 8.5).

Promising review: "I fell in love with these online and then went to the store to try them on. The heel is the perfect height and the block style makes it incredibly easy to walk in (and I'm six months pregnant!) I feel like they run a little big because I am usually a 10 but 9.5 fit me perfectly so keep that in mind. I got the black but wish I could justify buying them in every color because I love them so much!" —Alexe
Get them from DSW for $29.98+ (available in sizes 6–10 and in two colors).
