    24 Sandals You Can Really Put Some Miles On

    "I didn’t have blisters, my arches weren’t on fire, and my calves weren’t screaming." — A person who walked 40+ miles in their sandals in one weekend.

    1. Elastic sandals you'll wear all summer at music festivals, theme parks, or on long walks without a blister to show for it — because blisters are really going out of style IMO.

    2. A pair of Teva's original sandals that are ready for walking, water, and everything in between. You can cover 10+ miles in these babies, no problem.
