How to choose comfortable sandals

Start with the footbed. A cushioned or contoured base keeps your feet comfortable on long days, while a grippy sole helps on smooth floors and wet paths.

Adjustable buckles and straps let you fine tune the fit across your instep and around your heel.

Sandals for every day and every occasion

Slides and cork footbed styles suit weekends and travel, and sports sandals handle walks and holidays. For a dressier look, pair leather sandals with a women's dress shoes outfit. If you prefer a closed shape, try flats or women's sneakers.
