4️⃣ Keen Sandals 🔥
🔥 These adorable Keen sandals are a summer staple for me. They're cute as hell, while also offering unbelievable comfort (bonus points for their durability, too!). I've walked hundreds of miles in them - from city streets to nature trails - before finally having to order a new pair...and I still love them just as much the second time around.
💻 Heard it from the folks: "[I suffered from a heel spur, and I was able to walk without pain when I switched over to the Arizona sandals.] I took several pairs of shoes on vacation, and never once did I switch over to a different pair... I can walk for long periods of time with comfort... They are my first choice of shoes." - Glenn B.

5️⃣ Leather Greek Goddess Sandals 🔥
🔥 Channel your inner diva with these chic leather sandals. The soft memory foam soles ensure you'll feel like walking on clouds (or marshmallows!).
💻 Heard it from the folks: "Carrie B**: These slides are - and I mean this in the best way - marshmallows that mold to your individual feet. They are SOOOO comfortable. I've been working from home since the start of the pandemic, and I ordered them to wear in my house after I read that walking around barefoot long-term isn’t great for your feet. I wanted something with a little support, but that would be comfortable. The reviews for these looked good, so I ordered a pair, and now I never want to take them off. The material in every part is molded and squishy, so there are no unexpected parts that dig into your skin or chafe. But they're structured enough to provide some support for your arches. 10/10 highly recommend!"
