Comfortable and Pretty Sandals
This time of year, stores roll out shelf after shelf of pretty sandals. Unfortunately, not all are pretty and comfortable. Luckily I’ve rounded up some of my favorite stylish sandals in every category. All you need is a fresh new pedicure and you are ready to go.
Gladiator Sandals
Rampage Shelia Gladiator Sandal
No products found.
These pretty gladiator sandals come in black, cognac (pictured), dark brown and rose gold. The straps feature a combination of laser cut diamond shapes and braids, creating an eye-catching combination.
The heel is a demi wedge shape and is 1/2 inches high. From the back, you can see the pretty wedge shape.
The laces make this sandal a fantastic choice for narrow to wide feet, as they are adjustable. Once you’ve settled on how tight or loose you want the straps, you can use the back-zip closure to slip the shoes on. It also adds a nice stylistic detail to the back of the shoe.
In terms of comfort, they are a joy to wear and can easily be worn from morning to night.
Nine West Gazania Block Heel Sandal
No products found.
These gorgeous modern gladiator sandals from Nine West are amazing for the price. The style is stunning and they don’t scrimp on comfort or materials. I’ve seen similar shoes at least twice the price of these suede beauties.
At 2.5 inches high, they are surprisingly comfortable thanks to their on-trend block heel. Each step feels solid and makes brisk walking a breeze.
The sandals are leather and feature a dainty ankle strap with adjustable laces. When they are tied, the bow looks so feminine and appealing.
The breezy design of the parallel straps keeps feet cool and sweat-free. They also come in a nude color, which is very fashionable this season.
I found the shoes comfortable, but I wouldn’t recommend them if you have wide feet, as they are a slim, average width.
Thong Sandals
Aerosoles Conchlusion Sandal
No products found.
Available in 9 gorgeous colors, these versatile sandals will fit in seamlessly with your summer outfits. The triangular upper portion features round grommets that secure the strap, giving it a classic look.
As the name “Aerosoles” suggests, these feel incredibly light with the dreamiest cushioning you could ask for. The insole is lined with double padded memory foam and covered in a suede material. These are one of the most comfortable sandals I’ve tried yet.
I walked for over 3 hours on a tour in a pretty Italian coastal village and they were supportive and comfortable.
This sandal runs a half-size bigger, in my experience, so I went down a half-size. Other than that, I’d definitely recommend them. With so many pretty color options, it’s hard to just pick one!
Sanuk Yoga-Sling 2 Flip Flops
No products found.
Whether I am home or traveling, these sandals are never far away. Once you wear them, you’ll understand.
The insole is made from yoga material – yeah, I know, right – so you know it’s going to be comfortable. I found the fabric straps supportive and they molded around my foot. They make great walking sandals.
The design is quite minimal so can easily be dressed up or down. I wore my black pair on a walking tour and then later to dinner with my navy crochet dress.
The color options are pretty amazing too, so there is something for everyone. They are so light, I took 2 pairs on one trip. They take almost no space so it was a no brainer. These slip off easily when you’re going through airport security too.
A friend of mine has wider feet and plantar fasciitis and she adores these too. I can see this work wonderfully with pregnant women too.
Wedge Sandals
FitFlop Cha Cha Sandal
No products found.
If you like a little height and style, the Fit Flop Cha Cha sandals are real beauties. Coming in 13 beautiful color options, they are very fashionable.
The shoe is made of soft leather and is detailed with a sparkly tassel of beads. You have the option of leather, patent leather, and suede finishes. They look great with a pair of jeans, flowy dress, or a beachy summer kaftan.
The platform is 1 inch high at the front, but transitions into a 2-inch heel. Fit Flop’s trademarked Microwobbleboard insoles feature ergonomic arch support and feel comfortable. Shocks are absorbed underfoot by the three diagonal sections of multi-density EVA within the midsole.
The outsole is slip-resistant, adding more stability and grip while walking.
I found the sandals ran a size larger than my usual size, so I ordered a size down. It was a perfect fit.
Steve Madden Rachel Wedge Sandal
No products found.
In true Steve Madden fashion, these gorgeous sandals are on-trend yet classic. The minimalist design makes the sandals look high end and more expensive than they actually are. Music to my ears! They are made in Italy, which ticks even more boxes for me.
These pretty sandals also come in white and rose gold. The straps are made of supple leather and with each wear, conform to your foot’s shape.
The platform is 1.25 inches high and the heel is 2 inches high, giving the shoe an appealing curve. I find that some platform shoes can look too clunky when they only have one heel height. The extra height in the heel, makes it look more elegant and feminine.
I found that these shoes run 1 size smaller than my normal size, so I ordered one size larger instead. Sometimes I feel like I’m losing my fashion sense, but these shoes make me feel put together without trying too hard.
Athletic Sandals
Skechers Reggae-Rasta Sandal
No products found.
Whether you want something classic or fun, these sandals come in 20 colors for you to pick from. I tend to wear clothing in solid colors, so I switch things up with a colorful shoe for contrast.
These shoes are well built. They can take quite a beating, yet clean easily, especially when used at the beach or outdoors.
The strap is adjustable and fastened with velcro for a snug fit.
If you’ve ever had an issue with having a lack of support in shoes or use orthotic insoles, this shoe solves that problem. It’s like having an orthotic insert built in. If you have plantar fasciitis or arch pains, then definitely give these a try. The perforated footbed is molded similarly to an orthotic insert.
These Skechers sandals are practical, yet comfortable and I recommend them.
KEEN Whisper Sandal
No products found.
Lightweight and airy, Keen’s Whisper sandal is the perfect shoe to take on long walks or on a hike.
Designed specifically for women’s feet, they offer support and comfort in a slimline and high-tech package.
The compression-molded EVA footbed gives stability and comfort. It has good traction thanks to the multi-direction lug pattern on the soles. These could easily be worn as hiking sandals.
On the upper part of the shoe, you’ll find elastic lacing that is adjustable for a perfect fit. The fabric is neoprene, so is stretchy and waterproof.
These closed toe sandals, keep feet protected and secure.
Quite handily, the shoe is easy to clean and stays odor free thanks to its “Cleansport NXT” feature.
They keep feet cool and are easy to wear straight out of the box. Like all Keen sandals, they are high tech and worth the price.
Teva Tirra Sandal
No products found.
This is another great athletic shoe brand with women’s feet in mind. Although I really love the Teva Verra sandal, I prefer these for extra stability. If you need something less strappy and even more feminine, then I also recommend the Verra sandal.
In 24 pretty colors, these Teva sandals are a multi-strap wonder. The straps are a hook and loop closure, so readjusting is quick and convenient.
The insoles are compression EVA molded, which is great at absorbing shocks from uneven surfaces. The Shoc Pads™ in the heel give extra cushioning and shock absorption. If you’ve ever worn thin shoes and walked on uneven surfaces, then you know how painful it can be. Not so with these sandals.
The outsole has great traction and keeps you from slipping if you’re walking on wet or uneven ground.
If you go kayaking or get caught in the rain, the polyester webbing in the straps dries quickly after getting wet.
After a long day, shoes can get a bit stinky, but these insoles tackle odors with a zinc coating.
