Most Comfortable All-Around: Crocs
There’s one reason and one reason only that Crocs, despite typically coming with a garish look, have persisted in popularity.
Extreme comfort.
These Crocs Sandals are no different, and they don’t come out of the box looking like typical Crocs (aka hole-ridden, disfigured lotus roots)!
Made with an ultra-cushy foot bed and strappy upper material that will mold to your feet, the Crocs are my pick for the most comfortable sandals ever!
Looks great with: a washed-blue pair of denim shorts and over-sized T-shirt!

Most Comfortable Fashionable Option: Steve Madden
Looking for a cute pair of comfy sandals that you can wear all day look? Then look no further than the fashion-forward Espadrille Sandals from Steve Madden.
The smart straps, cork foot bed, and woven bottom all combine for a subtle yet distinctive fashion statement!
These shoes don’t just look good, either. With a sturdy platform and elastic straps (read: no blisters!), the Steve Maddens are also among the best sandals for walking!
Looks great with: whatever your favorite sundress is. I think yellows, pinks, and reds would really pop with these sandals!

Most Comfortable Thong: Tory Burch
If you’re looking to elevate “those black flip-flops” stuck in the back of your closet, check out the stylish Tory Burch Thin Flip-Flop.
The simple but cute flip flops feature a textured rubber insole and outsole, thong-style silhouette, and the signature Tory Burch gold-plated logo right at the thong.
In short, these sandals are the perfect way to upgrade your sandal game from everyday to exciting!
Looks great with: your cutest little black dress!

Most Comfortable Option for Traction: Teva
You know how “glamping” is a portmanteau of “glamorous” and “camping”?
Well here’s to “liking”, which is, besides being a real word anyway, a portmanteau of “light” and hiking”!
You know, for those hikes that are maybe a little wet, have low elevation changes, and are outside in the baking heat.
Whether I started a word revolution or not (shh…), the Teva Original is the perfect sandal for such light hikes!
And honestly, perfect for casual everyday wear too! Teva has somehow become the breakout fashion sandal of 2020.
Made with a cushioned EVA foot bed, durable rubber outsole, and 20% recycled material, the Teva sandals are sturdy, sustainable, and easily among the most comfortable women’s sandals for walking!
Looks great with: whatever your hiking apparel is. Hiking is hard work, but could also be a fashion show thanks to Teva!

Most Comfortable for High Arches: OluKai
Don’t let the relatively high price fool you.
The OluKai Ohana sandals are worth every penny, especially when considering the most comfortable sandals for travel!
These puppies are tailor-made for beach vacations, as the OluKai sandals feature water-resistant and quick-drying straps, and a compression-molded midsole for comfort.
Plus their EVA foot bed that provides a no-slip grip and prevents hot spots!
Looks great with: long walks on the beach!

Most Comfortable Classic Option: Birkenstock
Just like Thomas Edison invented electricity or Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, Birkenstock invented the most comfortable sandals. Full stop.
Plus, Birkenstock is basically as old or older than both electricity and the telephone, with over 240 years’ experience crafting the most comfortable shoes.
Featuring a contoured foot bed, raised toe bar, and extra room for wide feet, it’s easy to see why the Birkenstock Arizona sandal has more than 1,400 five-star reviews!
Looks great with: anything. Versatility is the name of the Birkenstock game!
