FitFlop Iqushion Ergonomic Flip-Flops
These flip-flops may look like an average pair of rubber sandals, but don’t let the simple design fool you. The ergonomically designed FitFlop style is made with the brand’s signature iQushion material, which helps with shock absorption, and features a foam footbed so you can comfortably walk in these all day long.
“My foot doctor recommended I buy the Fitflop brand to help with plantar fasciitis and arch discomfort,” wrote a happy customer. “I was concerned they would be too tight because of my wide foot. To my surprise they fit perfectly and are so comfortable. There is no discomfort and the best part is, I don’t have to wear my orthotics! Love them so much, I purchased three other FitFlop styles!”

Walked over 70 miles in seven days, wore no other shoes other than my Clarks Sea Breeze and feet felt great the entire time,” raved a fan. “Best flip-flops ever. I am 64 years old and can't believe I was able to walk that far in sandals. I will be ordering more in other colors for sure.”

Nike Ultra Comfort 3 Flip-Flops
Nike thought of everything when the brand designed these cushy flip-flops. The running-inspired outsole provides the stability you need while the memory foam footbed molds to your foot to deliver a comfortable, custom fit.

Crocs Serena Flip-Flops
If you’re a fan of Crocs, then you’ll love the brand’s upgraded flip-flop style (formerly known as the “Sexi” sandals). Made with soft, flexible material, the straps offer a secure slip-on fit, while the EVA outsole makes for a durable sandal.
“They stretch slightly, and fit perfectly. The result is a shoe I can literally run in ... very stable,” explained one reviewer who says they can be worn for a full day of walking. “In this new version, the extra thickness in the sole does feel a little comfier, but also makes the shoe slightly bulkier-looking. Still looks quite streamlined, and works great with everything from swimsuits, to shorts, to dresses.”

These podiatrist-designed sandals are almost too good to be true: The breathable, microfiber-covered footbed is made with Orthaheel technology, which provides orthotic support and stability and helps align feet for all-day comfort. Plus, they’re incredibly lightweight and stylish and feature shock-absorbing EVA material in the midsole.
“I love this shoe. These are my first Vionics and I am incredibly impressed with support (and style) I get from these shoes,” wrote a happy customer. “I have plantar fasciitis that I need to be mindful of, so flats are not much of an option. But these are incredibly comfortable.”
