Lakeland Active Women's Mockerkin Adjustable Outdoor Walking Lifestyle Sandals

Product Information

If you have a unique foot structure or medical issues, look for unique attributes in your sandal—including: Ideally, you also want an adjustable ankle strap, which helps offer stabilization and reduce the chances of a sprained ankle, added Dr. Parthasarathy. Contoured footbed: Many fashion sandals have a completely flat footbed, but for sandals that you'll wear walking all day, choose footbeds with arch support and cushioning materials like foam. Merrell Women's Speed Fusion Convert 1TRL Sandals are lightweight and comfortable. But we found the athletic style to be too clunky for most wearers, and overall, the shoe is not worth its higher price. We love how lightweight these shoes felt on our feet, which is especially important when wearing them in water. Sanuk’s Sandals are a great choice for water-shoe wearers or those with sweaty feet, but if you prefer a super cushy and bouncy feel, we recommend Skechers’ Go Walk Massage Fit Sandals instead.

They don't have the best traction when wet, as we experienced some foot slipping in the footbed and on wet surfaces. Though easy to use, the strap system isn't as customizable or accommodating to different shapes and widths of feet and ankles. And yet, the Katavi 2 offers great value, with a versatile and comfortable performance that outstrips its price. Another fantastic value is the Teva Hurricane XLT2, which is similarly priced, lighter, and has a little better traction and stability but is not quite as comfy. The Floatride energy foam is very comfortable and the rubber outsole has a lug pattern for maximum grip on almost any surface. The midfoot also have Reebok's ROPEPRO grooves to give you an extra boost if you're doing any sort of climbing. What We Like We updated this guide in May 2023 to include new recommendations and shopping tips from podiatrists and footwear experts.

Related: Best Sandals for MenThe closed-toe style looks more like a sneaker than a sandal, and without straps, it can be hard to get on. What we really love about the Pegasus 38 is the outsole design. There are crashrails that absorb impact and give you smooth transitions on lateral movements. Plus, the “waffle pistons” give you great traction on all sorts of surfaces to go along with the extra cushioning the shoe provides. What We Like The right shoe can also be part of therapy if you have a foot condition. Dr. Sutera suggests features like wide toe boxes for shoppers with bunions, extra arch support for those with high arches and insteps, and, especially in sandals, a footbed that isn't completely flat. You want at least a little wedge over an utterly flat sandal. That helps take pressure off the Achilles tendon and plantar fascia, explained Dr. Parthasarathy. Durable materials like rubber and leather are always wise choices when it comes to sandals, as both are typically lightweight and easy to clean. Rubber also expertly repels moisture, while leather remains breathable even in heat and humidity. Leather can take longer to break in, but once you have, it wears well. Other materials, like suede and memory foam, make for soft and comfortable footbeds. However, foam usually doesn't last as long: even if a foam shoe still looks good, long-term wear can diminish its supportive qualities, so keep an eye on any pairs with foam footbeds to see when they might need replacing.

These sandals come in nine sizes and two widths, and they have three adjustable straps (at the toe, midfoot, and heel) for a fully customizable fit. After the break-in period, we found that the shoes start to contour to the shape of your foot, providing the proper arch support and foot alignment for you. Our editor who tends to overpronate especially appreciated this feature. Whether walking long distances on your daily commute, exploring new terrain on a hike or just running errands in your neighborhood, you need a pair of comfortable sandals that's up to the job. And if you're looking to upgrade your walking shoes, the footwear experts at the Good Housekeeping Institute have you covered.Hoka is a brand of shoe that most runners are familiar with thanks to their commitment to high-quality footwear. But, you might be wondering—what does that have to do with plantar fasciitis? A lot, actually, because Hokas are well-constructed for support and spreading out the pressure of impact. Three of the sandals we reviewed had fans among our testers, but certain pitfalls ultimately kept them off our list of the most comfortable options. Flat shoes are better for certain workouts than other shoes because they provide you with a more stable, balanced, and neutral position for weightlifting.
