The 6 Most Comfortable Sandal Trends Of Summer 2020
These shoes were ACTUALLY made for walking
The idea of easy-to-walk-in, "comfortable" sandals may trigger visuals of orthopaedic footwear with unsightly straps and awkward heel heights. But thanks to a certain few brands who have managed to meld chic design with footbed relief, those optics are looking a lot better.
Though the days of painful, sky-high heels that pinch your toes aren't necessarily gone, they are on holiday this summer. This season, sophistication is served in walkable flats, flip-flops, and even dad sneakers. Ahead, we're happily welcoming the trend with a curated selection of the cushiest, most comfortable sandals you could walk a mile in.
Thongs Out

Tourist Approved
