Sandals let you show off a pedicure, keep your feet cool, and make a fun fashion statement at the same time. Choosing sandals for style doesn’t mean giving up comfort. From casual flip-flops to cute wedge sandals that elevate your aesthetic, there are plenty of pairs to choose from when you’re looking for the best sandals for your feet.

Check out some of the most comfortable sandals for women this season, and enjoy feel-good footwear that’s right on trend.

What Makes a Sandal Comfortable?

When shopping comfortable shoes for women, sandals are an obvious option. With wide-open designs and lightweight builds, sandals offer plenty of airflow without compromising support. A few things to look for when picking out sandals include:

• Cushioned footbeds to provide soft support
• A slightly elevated heel to reduce calf and heel pain
• High-quality uppers, such as leather or canvas straps, to keep sandals securely in place
• Treads designed for traction to enhance stability on slick or wet surfaces

When choosing sandals, consider where you plan to wear them. Comfortable sandals suited for a day at the beach might require a different design than the pair you wear walking a trail in the woods or the city streets. Fortunately, plenty of options are available, including athletic sandals, flip-flops, flat sandals, wedge sandals, and more.

Always check sizing before you buy since properly fitted shoes always provide a better feel. Adjustable straps let you tighten or loosen sandals as needed, while slip-on styles are designed for quick, convenient access.
