Shop the Most Comfortable Sandal Trend, Maybe Ever

By Madeline Fass

After a year of indoor shoes, shearling slippers, fuzzy socks—or perhaps no shoes at all—footwear designers have blessed us with something just as comfortable to wear outside of the house. They’ve responded to our wants (and needs) and have given us an alternative to the shoes our feet have gotten so used to: the cushy sandal. Pillowy, padded, and molded styles are no longer reserved for orthotic footwear and walking shoes; they’re elements now embraced by our favorite shoe brands. Sink your feet into the most comfortable sandals for women—they’re some of the softest shoes you’ll ever have the pleasure of sliding your quarantined toes into, and they are, in fact, quite stylish.

Take, for example, Simon Miller’s puffed platform slides or Staud’s foam platform thongs. Plus the classic crisscross slide sandal, a summer staple, is now being offered with a memory-foam cushioned sole, thanks to Marina Larroude’s thoughtful brilliance. There are even terry cloth slides in eye-catching colors you can actually wear outside.
