Buying a cute new pair of sandals to match your summer wardrobe is always fun—but breaking them in? Well, that's a different story. When it comes to comfortable sandals for women, it's not just about good looks; you also need a pair of shoes that will support you and not take forever to feel good. You'll want to consider more than just how they fit, says podiatrist Dr. Emily Splichal, DPM, MS, CES. "The best comfortable sandals provide a balance between support and natural movement," she explains. "Having a sandal with a slight arch support helps most people, especially if they have flat feet. It's also important to make sure the sandal is appropriately secured to the foot." Wondering where to start? Try this list!

There are all sorts of comfortable sandal brands; it's really more about the shape of the shoe. The ones we've compiled here are primarily flat like comfortable flip-flops or offer a comfortable wedge-like shape. There are even flip-flops with arch support! Most have adjustable straps, too. Trust us, they're the best shoes for standing all day so you should be able to wear them comfortably for hours no matter what you've got planned. But if your comfort level starts to decrease after a while, there are some things you can do outside of buying a new pair, says Dr. Splichal. To soothe achy soles, she suggests releasing your feet five minutes every day with RAD Rounds and stretching calves daily for five minutes. Now, time to get shopping! Sandal season waits for no one.
