Ugg Yarrow Espadrille Wedge Sandal: While they're certainly stylish, our testers felt the zipper on the heel rubbed badly enough to keep them off our comfort-based list.

What we really love about the Pegasus 38 is the outsole design. There are crashrails that absorb impact and give you smooth transitions on lateral movements. Plus, the “waffle pistons” give you great traction on all sorts of surfaces to go along with the extra cushioning the shoe provides. What We Like Here's a tip: If you're shopping in person, try on shoes at the end of the day to get the most accurate fit, because your feet swell as the day goes on. As the sandals and slides we tested are designed for slightly different activities, we alter our testing methods accordingly, rating them across the following five performance metrics: You want at least a little wedge over an utterly flat sandal. That helps take pressure off the Achilles tendon and plantar fascia, explained Dr. Parthasarathy.Our testers especially favor the Adilettes' sporty feel and appearance. They have a trendy look while still being convenient enough for running errands or making treks to the pool. One tester even wore them while riding a bike "with no problem at all." Although there are plenty of things to love about these slides, we don't recommend them for prolonged walking and urge you to remember that the break-in period can be uncomfortable. Contoured footbed: Many fashion sandals have a completely flat footbed, but for sandals that you'll wear walking all day, choose footbeds with arch support and cushioning materials like foam.

Priya Parthasarathy, DPM, a board-certified podiatrist and spokesperson for the American Podiatric Medical Association While the Alpha might not offer the conventional comfort of its bulkier counterparts, it impressively navigates various landscapes, thanks to its absorbent canvas footbed and uncluttered yet effective lightweight design. A notable mention is its minimalistic support, which isn't so much a shortcoming but rather the essence of choosing such a sandal. If you're after a streamlined, airy sandal that feels almost non-existent, the Alpha is worth a glance. Scoring just behind the Alpha was the Xero Z-Trail EV, which is a little heavier and more stable but does not have the same comfort or traction. We tested dozens of flip flops and sandals for both men and women (or both) to bring you the best options on the market.

The durable leather straps and overall sturdy construction add to the sandals great overall value. But if you choose the lighter color, you should be wary of staining. Three of the sandals we reviewed had fans among our testers, but certain pitfalls ultimately kept them off our list of the most comfortable options. The Fresh Foam Roav keeps that tradition going. The shoe is made from breathable mesh with tee shirt material on the laces for a secure tie. And the outsole is relatively flat but has a strategic shape to accommodate flat feet. The Ultra Heel also adapts to the shape of your foot over time so the more you wear the shoes the more comfortable they become. What We Like
