Summertime is all about hitting the beach, barbecuing, taking long walks, and participating in other outdoor activities. The sunny season also calls for some wardrobe changes – specifically with your footwear. While stashing away your cold-weather boots and cozy slippers might be a welcome transition, you aren\u2019t doing yourself any favors if your summer women’s sandals<\/a> hurt your feet.<\/p>\n In many instances, sandals have subpar straps and offer substantially less support than other shoe styles. This can lead to blisters, calluses, plantar fasciitis, and other painful conditions. But this certainly isn\u2019t always the case. At Vionic, we\u2019re dedicated to creating comfortable stylish shoes<\/a> that are not only painless but also beneficial for the feet. On top of that, it\u2019s our mission to help people find the right pair\u2014or pairs!\u2014for every season.<\/p>\n A comfortable walking sandal<\/a> is meant to provide your feet and toes with a bit of freedom, especially after they\u2019ve been cooped up in winter shoes for months. If you\u2019re always uncomfortable while wearing sandals and flip flops or if your feet hurt afterward, it\u2019s probably time to reconsider your summer footwear. Here\u2019s our pick of comfortable walking sandals that are good for your feet, along with additional tips for finding sandals that benefit your feet.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The best sandals for your feet will offer adequate arch support and cushioning. They should be made with high-quality materials and never be restricting. But if you think you won\u2019t be able to find a stylish pair that covers all the bases, don\u2019t worry. You\u2019ve got tons of fashionable options. Check out these five trendy and chic sandals that can actually benefit your feet.<\/p>\n Flip flops are a timeless, beach-ready sandal style. And if you\u2019re like most flip flop wearers, a a thong sandal might be a non-negotiable element of your summertime wardrobe. Yet in terms of arch support and cushioning, these inherently flimsy traditional flip flop shoes tend to get a bad rap. Many people wonder: Are flip flops bad for your feet<\/em><\/a>? Despite popular misconception, flip flops can be good for your feet\u2014that is, if you know where to buy them.<\/p>\n So, what flip flops are best for your feet? The men\u2019s and women\u2019s flip flops with arch support<\/a> from Vionic have the iconic silhouette you know and love with thin Y-shaped straps and lightweight, supportive soles<\/a>.<\/p>\n Innovative Vionic flip flops have:<\/strong><\/p>\n Besides being good for your feet, our advanced arch support sandal design looks just like the flip flops you\u2019ve been wearing for decades. But that\u2019s not all\u2014unlike other brands, our flip-flop sandals are a suitable walking shoe. Choose from flat-soled styles, like our Beach Noosa Sandal<\/a>, or a platform flip flop in a broad range of patterns and colors.<\/p>\n With Y-shaped straps and a simple, slip-on design, toe-post sandals are very similar to flip flops. However, they usually have slightly thicker soles, wider traps, and tend to provide a little more support. If you\u2019re wondering where to get good-for-your-feet toe-post sandals, look no further than Vionic.<\/p>\n Orthotic toe-post sandals from Vionic have:<\/strong><\/p>\n These slip-on sandals go above and beyond by actually providing benefits to your feet. In a peer-reviewed study<\/a>, people with heel pain who wore contoured Vionic sandals experienced more relief than standard flip flops. Furthermore, the Vionic sandals were shown to offer foot benefits similar to our best-selling arch support inserts<\/a>. Toe-post styles, like our Tide Aloe Sandal<\/a>, are a stylish supportive sandal option.<\/p>\n Sandal straps are supposed to secure your foot, offer support as you walk, and they often provide adjustability. However, in many cases, straps really don\u2019t help your feet at all. With the wrong pair of sandals, the straps can dig into your heels and toes, restrict circulation, and continuously rub your skin.<\/p>\n Believe it or not, many types of ankle-strap sandals won\u2019t hurt your feet, which you can find at Vionic. And like our flip flops and toe-post sandals, our styles are beneficial to your foot health<\/a>.<\/p>\n We offer classic adjustable strap sandals in soft leather, patent leather, cork, and durable textiles with sturdy footbeds and comfy cushioning. Choose from sporty styles and elegant designs that completely conceal the orthotic contouring. We even carry strappier styles like gladiators. For gladiator style tips, check out our guide on how to wear gladiator sandals<\/a>.<\/p>\n Slides are a go-to summer sandal for both men and women. They can be dressed up for a night out or dressed down for a day at the beach. And with the right fit<\/a> and a supportive design, you don\u2019t need to worry about foot pain or injuries[1].<\/p>\n Vionic slides have flexible uppers made of leather, cork, or durable textiles with EVA-rubber midsoles and microfiber-covered footbeds. They\u2019re made to absorb shock and reduce stress on your knees, ankles, arches, and toes\u2014even after walking for miles or being on your feet all day. Like our toe-post sandals, Vionic slides have patterned tread, which offers traction on a variety of terrains. Opt for a comfortable, slip-on style like the Demi Sandal<\/a> for women or the Tide Sandal<\/a> for men and experience the benefits of supportive cushioning. For more flat sandal styles, check out our collection of women\u2019s slide sandals<\/a> today!<\/p>\n If you\u2019re like a lot of women, you might prefer wearing shoes that add a few inches. And you\u2019d like to be comfortable while you wear them\u2014is that so much to ask for? With Vionic contoured orthotic wedge heels<\/a>, it\u2019s not!<\/p>\n To elevate your summer shoe wardrobe, go for a pair of feminine yet practical wedges like our Coralina Wedge<\/a>. The styles from Vionic have thick, extra-sturdy soles, which prevent twisted or sprained ankles[1]. Also, you can walk on sand, pavement, grass, and any other surface you find yourself on this season. In addition to contoured footbeds, Vionic wedges have deep heel cups and plenty of cushioning.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n One of the most critical components of sandals that benefit your feet, aside from supportive features, is getting the right size. When your footwear doesn\u2019t fit\u2014including sandals and closed-toe shoes\u2014you can expect foot and heel pain[2]. In many cases, you might be left with an irksome foot condition such as heel spurs, Morton\u2019s neuroma, overpronation, or an ingrown toenail.<\/p>\n How should sandals fit<\/a>, anyway? First of all, it\u2019s important to remember that feet come in all shapes and sizes. While this might seem obvious, knowing your foot type is crucial in getting sandals in the proper size.<\/p>\n You might have:<\/strong><\/p>\n Additionally, keep in mind that some people are born with wide feet and other foot conditions, while others may develop them over time. So, if your feet have been average when it comes to width for most of your life, they could be broader now. On top of that, your feet can grow in length over time. That\u2019s why we recommend measuring your feet every few years.<\/p>\n First of all, you should always measure your feet<\/a> at night[5]. Why? Similar to how you can expect to weigh a pound or two more in the evening, your feet expand throughout the day and are ever so slightly larger at night. And although a millimeter or two might not seem important, trust us\u2014it matters. Here\u2019s how to measure your feet for sandals.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t be surprised if you have one narrow foot and one wider foot, or one foot that is longer than the other. It\u2019s not uncommon to have one foot that\u2019s a half size larger[5]. Compare your measurements to a shoe size chart<\/a> to determine your current size and whether your feet are wide or narrow.<\/p>\n For sandals, the entire perimeter of your foot should sit within the sole. If your heels protrude over the back or your toes hang over the front or sides, then the shoes are too small. When your toes and heels don\u2019t fit within the soles, you might end up with a stubbed toe<\/a>, ingrown toenails, or blisters from constricting straps[1]. On the other hand, your sandals shouldn\u2019t be overly loose, either. Shoes that are too large can lead to foot problems<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you\u2019re in the market for sandals that are good for your feet, Vionic shoes have your back(and feet!). With exclusive Vio-Motion Support<\/a> technology, all of our podiatrist-designed shoes have built-in orthotics that are totally concealed within every pair. Also, many of our shoes have a Seal of Acceptance<\/a> from the American Podiatric Medical Association, which means they benefit foot health.<\/p>\n We carry comfortable men\u2019s sandals<\/a> and women\u2019s sandals in a wide range of shoe sizes (including half sizes), as well as medium and wide widths. Aside from orthotic sandals<\/a>, Vionic offers men\u2019s and women\u2019s casual sneakers<\/a>, comfortable work shoes<\/a>, travel shoes<\/a>, and other closed-toed footwear for all occasions.<\/p>\n For stylish summer sandals that don\u2019t compromise on support and foot health, browse the comfortable sandals for men and women from Vionic today!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sources:<\/strong> 2. https:\/\/www.prevention.com\/beauty\/g20434003\/9-sandals-that-won-t-wreck-your-feet\/<\/p>\n 3. https:\/\/www.womansworld.com\/posts\/health\/do-i-have-wide-feet-166501<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"5 Sandals That Are Good for Your Feet<\/h2>\n
