If you need a new (or another) pair of sandals, now’s the time to buy. But before you hit “checkout,” take a look at your current collection: If it doesn’t include at least one comfortable pair you can wear from morning to night without destroying your feet, you’re in for a cruel, cruel summer.
When it comes to finding reliable and enduringly comfortable footwear, sandals are a tricky category. Design details like spindly straps (that dig into the most sensitive parts of your feet), toe posts (that all but guarantee blisters), and insubstantial outsoles that offer zero support) are ubiquitous — and impossible to wear for a significant amount of time.
Fear not, you have plenty of options, and we’ve found some of the best. There’s a true variety on the list below (even for folks who refuse to expose their toes), all of which have hundreds (sometimes thousands) of very positive reviews, and can be yours with just a few clicks at Zappos. So whether you’re adding to your collection or buying your very first pair, you’re bound to find at least one style to love.
