Promising review: "Love these shoes! They are super light and comfortable. Not sure if they would work the best for intense workouts, but I love them for walking, jogging, stretching, and lifting. Bonus: I bought these a couple of months before I found out, but I am now 12 weeks pregnant and these are the only shoes I want to wear! 😊" —Amanda Beckett

Get them from Amazon for $48.67+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in 10 colors).

3. Women's Sanuk slip-ons with a footbed featuring an antimicrobial additive that'll reduce odor-causing bacteria that sweaty feet can cause.

Amazon

Promising review: "What a great shoe. I go through this exact same model and make of shoe every 2 1/2 yrs, and I put my boat/dock/sidewalk cruise shoes through holy hell. These shoes not only hold up to years of worth, but develop character over use. Purchase one pair now, and when they start to become a pair that is totally so comfortably unique, buy another to wear to a deck or park. I keep a two-year-old pair for casual use and a new pair for summer outfits. Be sure to order your correct size." —Deborah Burrows

Get them from Amazon for $17.52+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 10 colors).

4. Sketcher's espadrilles that'll be ideal for any and all of your summer festivities.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I wanted some canvas espadrilles for an upcoming vacation and these are perfect. The look is sleek and they are lighter than air! Always love a good Sketcher Bob shoe! If you have a narrow heel, don't go up a half size, I would usually get a 6 1/2, but my foot is really wide so I got a 7 and they fit me fine." –kennel girl

Get them from Amazon for $39.29 (available in sizes 6–11 and three colors; not all sizes available in all colors). 

5. Unisex slippers designed with a cotton waffle knit meant to keep your feet comfy and let air in for anyone who needs the breathability but hates an open-toe design.

Amazon

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. Don't know anything about durability as I just got them a few days ago but so far, impressed. Good value for price." –Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–16, men's sizes 3–14, and in 29 styles colors).

6. Adidas slides so your feet can still get the ventilation they need even as you fulfill all your athleisure style aspirations.

The slides have a Cloudfoam footbed for extra cushion.

Promising review: "I love these sandals. I bought them to use in the showers at my community gym and they're super easy to slide on and off when I'm in a rush in the morning. I chose the grey/silver that has metallic striping and they're very cute. They're exactly as advertised and fit great." —Dominique

Get them from Amazon for $14+ (available in sizes 5-11 and 42 colors; not all sizes available in all colors).

8. Lightweight Allbirds' Tree Dashers running shoes that'll bring some sleekness to your athleisure looks while keeping your feet nice and airy.

Promising review: "Love these shoes! They are comfortable and well-padded, along with being breathable. I can wear them all day easily. The small carbon footprint is the best part!" –Caroline S.

Get it from Allbirds for $135 (available in sizes 5–11 and in four classic colors and five limited edition styles).

9. A flat sandal made completely of elastic straps so your feet get all the air they need.

Amazon

Promising review: "I LOVE these shoes! I wear them almost every day now. They're super comfortable. I got them in beige and they go with every outfit. They're cute, casual, and can work with a nice dress but also a pair of shorts. I might even order another pair, I love them so much!" —Monica

Get them from Amazon for $15.46 (available in sizes 5–11 and 11 styles).

10. A flat sandal that gives your feet a rustic, outdoor look while also making sure that your piggies can breathe.

Amazon

Promising review: "I bought these to wear on my wedding day and they’re just perfect! I’ve had knee problems since I was very young and these are so much more cushiony than I thought which is an added bonus meaning I should be pretty comfy on our big day! They feel very sturdy as well with easy to use buckles. I can’t wait to get married with these keeping me comfy and fashionable!" —Jess

11. Airy slip-on sneakers with a lightweight mesh top and a moisture-wicking lining to keep your feet away from their usual sweat threshold.

amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "I have higher arches, so I needed good, comfortable shoes. These are nice and breathable, and I love that the soles are machine washable (and dryable)! 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.

Get them from Amazon for $100 (available in men's sizes 7–15 and seven colors).

12. A leather sandal with criss cross straps and an open design that's stylish and breathable for your piggies.

Nordstrom

Promising review: "I just received these and my first impression is very favorable. I ordered a size 8 because they recommended ordering a 1/2 size down and I’m really glad I did. I’m usually an 8-1/2 and sometimes even need a size 9. The size 8 fits perfectly in length and width. My toes are very comfortable upon first wearing them, so I’m hoping the leather doesn’t stretch out too much down the road. This shoe feels high quality and I think it was worth the $90 purchase price. The zipper in the back feels solid and the shoe has a little leather flap so the metal zipper isn’t sitting directly on your skin, a detail I feel is a sign of a quality shoe. I like them so much that I immediately ordered 2 more pairs in black and red." —Winning2020

Get them from Nordstrom for $124.95+ (available in sizes 6–11 and eight colors).

13. Converse high top sneakers for some timeless style (and gloriously breathable canvas fabric). You'll feel cool in more ways than one in a pair of these classic kicks!

Nordstrom

Promising review: "They are the most comfortable shoes I have worn so far. When I buy shoes, I look for comfort, simplicity, and style, and I get exactly that with these shoes. They are made of rubber and cotton canvas which makes them very easy to wash and not get damaged. They are very comfortable as well. I use them all the time because they allow my feet to breathe and feel relaxed and snug, so I can do everything. I can go to the gym, to work, shopping, or just anywhere with these shoes on. They are also very stylish, it goes with everything, I use them with my formal uniforms, with my clothes for work, with my gym clothes and I always use them with my regular clothes. They are my go-to shoes." –ErikO883711327

Get them from Nordstrom for $65 (available in women's sizes 5–15, men's sizes 3–13, and two colors).

Promising review: "Do you know how difficult it is to find stretchy shoes?!?! I won't get into detail but I have a pretty annoying issue of daily swelling in my feet and ankles. If you walked a day in my 'shoes,' then you'd be raving about these shoes, too. These shoes do not constrict my feet and they also allow them to breathe. I just can't say enough good things. Also, the customer service I received from Stephie was phenomenal!" —Nicki S.

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

Get them from Amazon for $39.38+ (available in sizes 5–14 and in a wide variety of colors and designs).

16. A pair of foam-soled slides in a super sleek silhouette that'll be your go-to for lounging around the house or running out in the a.m. for your morning cup of Joe (to bring back to your house and continue lounging).

Promising review: "These are veryyyy comfortable. I have back problems, Multiple Sclerosis, and walking issues. I can't ever find shoes that feel like my feet aren't saying 'Why are you doing this to me?' With these lil cuties 😍 I am over the moon and so are my feet. I wear them all around the house, shopping excursions and basically as slippers. Buy them, your feet will thank you for it." —Karla N La Bella
