15 Super Comfy Women’s Sandals

First up, we have the Gia Sandal by Franco Sarto. This style is an excellent option if you are looking for a flat design that is both comfy and classy. What is excellent about the Gia is the versatility of the design, you can wear them with almost anything, including jeans and skirts. They aren’t the most feminine-looking sandal in person, but they are pretty cute overall. They work well for walking long distances even in hot weather; your feet won’t sweat or slide out of the shoe as the back buckle helps to keep them in place.

The Gia is also excellent for travel as they are easy to get on and off when going through airport security. Most women find they are comfortable enough to wear for long periods because of the cushioning and the decently thick sole. They also have a slight heel and a little bit of arch support.

The Gia comes in some attractive color options in either soft leather or suede; the color options range quite a bit depending on where you get them from. Overall the Gia is a very well-made, classic, comfy style that is a fantastic option for the summer.

Since Clarks is one of the most well-known comfort brands, they have a lot of different sandal styles to choose from. One of their most popular is the Leisa Annual Sandal.

These are a classic, practical style that is very light and easy to walk in. They have a Velcro side strap, so you can make sure you get the right fit and that your heel won’t slip out of the shoe. The footbed is soft with a medium amount of support, and the outsole is quite flexible (you can bend it back and forth if you are holding the shoe).

The Leisa isn’t as clunky as some Clark designs can be, I would say it is lighter and a bit more fashionable than many of their other options. The heel has a little bit of lift to it that will give you a tiny bit more height.

If you want a good quality, comfortable option that you can wear for walking, that is also pretty fashionable you will want to check out some of the Birkenstock styles. Most of the Birkenstock designs are relatively bulky, so if you are on the petite side, you may find them a little overwhelming if you have a small build. They are also somewhat broad, so they may not be the best option if you have narrow feet.

If you are interested in Birkenstocks, the Birkenstock Mayari is one of their cuter, more feminine options.  Mayari offers the usual, classic Birkenstock comfort, and they come in a ton of different colors. They have a reasonable amount of arch support, but they usually need a few days to be broken in and molded to the shape of your foot. Once you do, they are a great summer shoe. The leather will stretch out a little bit, but that makes them more comfortable. Overall they are a great everyday sandal that works well for walking and traveling.
