The Nike Benassi JDI Slide is one of the all-time most popular slide sandals for comfort that you are going to find. They are relatively fashionable, although the style isn’t for everyone. However, if you want something to wear around the house, this one can’t be beaten as far as pure comfort.
Fans of Nike will love that the Benassi is inexpensive and durable, so it is easy to get many years of wear out of them. The wide strap means you can wear them with or without socks, and your foot won’t slip off or to the side of the shoe. However, if you are looking for shower sandals, this style isn’t the best as it has an absorbent material on the inner part of the strap that is nicely cushioned, but it takes a while to dry once it gets wet. The sole and midsole are a combo of rubber and Phylon, so they are light, flexible, and super-cushioned. The material is also easy to wash off or wipe clean.
The Benassi comes in a good range of exciting color combos, so there is something for everyone’s tastes. This Nike design probably isn’t the best style if you plan to walk long distances, but these are a great option as a pool sandal or a house slipper.

The Birkenstock Arizona is another trendy option if you want a comfortable and easy-to-get-on-and-off summer option. Slides can be a little hard to keep on if they have just one strap; the Arizona avoids this by having two wide straps that make it easy to walk in without the fear of falling out of the shoe. The straps also have buckles that you can adjust for a more precise fit.
Birkenstocks are known for their excellent footbeds, and this style comes in a regular or a soft bed. The difference is the soft footbed has a layer of foam that gives the insole a little bit more cushioning. Whichever footbed you choose, there is a little bit of a break-in period with these sandals, but once the insole has been molded to the shape of your foot, it will become one of the most comfortable shoes you own.
The good thing about Birkenstocks is that with a little bit of care, they get better with age and wear. Birkenstocks are a bit pricey, but everything about this shoe, including the leather, the buckle, and the footbed, is very high quality and durable.

Clarks is always a reliable brand for comfortable footwear, and one of their best slip-on options is the Lexi Myrtle. This design provides excellent arch support with a nicely cushioned footbed. It comes in various colors with a flower embellishment on the upper part of the shoe. They are a pretty design for those that have plantar fasciitis that finds it difficult to find fashionable styles that also have good support.
Regarding comfort, there is no need to break them in as the cushioning, and the leather is soft enough that most women can wear this style right out of the box. One feature of this heeled style that makes it especially easy to wear is that the positioning of the straps means it will stay on your feet when you are walking, which can sometimes be an issue with shoes with no heel.

The UGG Kari is an attractive, comfy, and nicely designed shoe. The straps are made with high-quality yet soft leather, and it comes in two-toned colors that will go with almost anything. They have a very squishy foam sole that is designed for comfort so that they can be worn right out of the box with no break-in period.
The wide straps are also positioned so that your foot won’t slip off the sole when you are walking. There isn’t much arch support in the Kari, but the footbed is very comfy if you don’t need arch support. Like most UGG footwear, the materials are high quality, and the shoes are very well made.

Podiatrists often recommend the OOFOS OOahh Slide Sandal for those with plantar fasciitis, but it is also great for anyone who values comfort. It is another style that works well as a house shoe, partly because they are unbelievably comfy and partly because they aren’t the most attractive style, so many women don’t like to wear them out of the house.
Despite being somewhat ugly, what people love about the OOFOS OOahh is that they are cushy, lightweight, and have outstanding arch support. One downside to this design is that there are no half sizes, so it may be tricky to get the right fit over the arch. The OOFOS OOahh comes in navy, slate, and black.

Adidas has many different styles of slides to choose from, with one of the most comfortable being the Adilette. It has a Cloudfoam ultra footbed and a lightweight Eva outsole, which means they are super soft, although slightly bulky because of the Cloudfoam. The strap is also quite padded, so that helps add to the comfort of the shoe and helps it to stay on.
The sizing can run a little big on the Adilette, so read the sizing guidelines carefully. This style works great as a house shoe or a pool shoe, but you can also wear it out and about.

Munro Shoes are a brand known for its fashionable yet comfortable styles. The Munro Slide is a relatively simple design with a 1 3/4″ heel and a slight 1/2″ platform. The strap is a stretchy material that is wide enough that it helps the shoe to stay on the foot and prevent that clunky sound that you can sometimes get with slides when you walk.
The footbed has a moderate arch and is slightly padded for a cushioned feel. Overall it is a stylish and easy-to-wear style that will go well with pants, skirts, or dresses.

The SoftWalk Tillman is a comfy and cute style that works exceptionally well for wide feet. If your feet aren’t wide, this style is probably best avoided.
The Tillman is a well-made design that features a low heel and a well-padded footbed. They are relatively stylish for a comfort brand, and they come in several attractive colors. You can dress this style up or down, depending on the outfit. They are durable shoes that will stand up well to everyday wear, but be aware that the width of the Tillman is very wide.

A more sporty-looking option is the Teva Women’s Tirra. The Tirra is an excellent design if you need a slide that you can get wet. The upper is extremely durable and dries quickly after being exposed to water. It has adjustable hook-and-loop closure that will allow you to get the most comfortable fit by adjusting the Velcro.
The footbed is also insanely soft due to the comfort features of a contoured EVA footbed and a cushioned Shoc Pad™ in the heel. What this shoe has that you don’t find on a lot of summer slides is excellent traction on the shoe’s outsole so that you won’t slip in wet conditions.
Overall the Tirra has excellent arch support and is pretty sturdy. The way the straps are designed means you won’t slip out of them very easily. It is also easy to clean and very durable, so they can be worn in all kinds of weather and conditions without worrying that you will ruin them.

Another style similar to the Teva Tirra is the Merrell Terran Slide II. The Terran is another favorite athletic shoe that can be worn in more challenging conditions than an average summer slide because of the excellent grip and traction on the outsole of the design. It comes in a wide array of lovely colors that hold up well to wear without fading. The upper is made of a mix of Nubuck leather upper and Lycra neoprene.
Most women find the Terran easy to get on and off but stay on well when walking in them. They have a soft footbed covered in microfiber fabric, and the heel also has extra air cushioning, like the Teva design. Unfortunately, the Terran II doesn’t come in half sizes, so you may not get the exact fit you want, but the overall comfort level of this style is pretty good for most women.
