These are seriously more comfortable than my $100+ super cushy foam running shoes that I wear — WORE — every day. And they are suer cute too!

Or a pair of braided sandals more than 2,500 reviewers swear by for their water-resistance, comfort, and cuteness.

I thought it was so funny reading their website and their warning says ‘don’t buy these sandals if you don’t want compliments.’ Well, the first day I wore my sandals I got tons of compliments and every time I thought of their warning. It’s so true these are unique and brilliantly styled sandals. The quality is wonderful! I’m 100% satisfied and happy with these sandals! The customer service is also phenomenal!” —ShoreShank

Nordstrom Rack
Promising review: “These shoes are extremely comfortable. The only potential issue I see for some might be the width. I am a medium with a slight lean to wide. Wide shoes are typically too wide. These fit me well but if you run wider, they might be tight closer to your toes.” —EAGLEEYESHOPPER

Teva sandals, which are a cult favorite for a reason — they’re comfy right out of the box and don’t require a break-in period.
Teva / Via teva.com, Amazon
Many reviewers recommend sizing down a half sizes if you’re between sizes.
Promising review: “I love these sandals! I debated for a few months about buying them because I didn’t think they looked particularly stylish, but I am so glad I decided to get them. They are SO comfortable. I walked all day the first time I wore them and had zero blisters or rubbing on my skin like some shoes during the break-in period. There really isn’t a break-in period—they’re good to go out of the box. It feels like walking on a squishy yoga mat and the ribbed texture is really pleasant. It’s nice that the straps are really adjustable. And honestly, I think they do look cute! They go with shorts or jeans but I’d probably wear them with a casual dress or skirt too I highly recommend.”—Joanna Salerno

Target
Promising review: “I got them on sale, but I would buy them at full price because they are worth it! They are amazingly comfortable, and I am someone who hates wearing anything other than sandals.
