Sizes: Women’s 4-12.5 | Materials: Vegan cotton canvas upper, cork-latex footbed, EVA outsole | Straps: Single strap (adjustable) | Our Overall Rating: 5/5 Choosing the best shoes for flat feet means finding a pair that provides enough support in the midsole without over-arching your feet. Hoka’s Ora Luxe Slide has a slightly raised, relaxed arch that provides solid support, as well as a soft, pillow-like foam cushioning for added comfort. The platform is quite high, which we noticed causes some instability and ankle-rolling for wearers who are not used to platform shoes.

Sizes: Women’s 4-12.5, Men’s 6-17.5 | Materials: Suede and leather upper, cork-latex footbed, EVA outsole | Straps: Single strap (adjustable) | Our Overall Rating: 4.4/5After nearly a month of daily wear, HOKA's Ora Recovery Slides are a clear winner because we never wanted to take them off—they’re just that comfortable. The brand's signature cushioning is evident, with a super plush midsole that we found provides immediate relief for sore feet. Meanwhile, the durable rubber outsole is grippy, delivering optimal traction for safe walking on all terrains. While the textured footbed provides your feet with a massage-like sensation as you walk, it does take some getting used to and may not be for everyone. The chunky design does make these shoes quite heavy. During testing, we noticed that they weighed us down during long, fast-paced walks. Giving your feet some post-workout support can be as simple as slipping into Under Armour's Ignite Pro Graphic Strap Slides. Far from your average flimsy flip-flop, these durable shoes are constructed with a memory foam footbed that's strategically textured to relieve pressure points. The result? Our feet felt comfortable, with no more sore arches.

Chaco’s Townes Slide Midform slides are stylish and provide great arch support, but the insole was rubbery and made us prone to slipping. We also noticed that they weighed us down quite a bit during testing. The good news is that most of the best slides for men accommodate a wider foot, with malleable materials and plenty of give. Many men’s slides actually form to your individual foot over time, providing you with a custom fit you can’t find anywhere else. Vionic’s Rejuvenate Recovery Sandal is roomy enough for wide and swollen feet. Between the deep heel cup, oversized footwall, and adjustable strap, we found that there’s enough room for toes to stretch and splay out—giving you extra stability when you need it most. During testing, we found that the strap felt somewhat tight at the end of the day due to normal foot swelling—and it started to stretch out over time. They performed flawlessly in almost every condition (you still can’t exercise in them though), with not one moment of discomfort or sliding either within the shoes or on the ground. One of our team members, who has high arches and plantar fasciitis and struggles to find any style of footwear comfortable, was truly blown away by how comfortable these slides are. If you’re usually between sizes and have wide feet, we recommend sizing up. There are four colors to choose from, including a fun leaf-print option if you’re feeling tropical.Best for runners or active people who want a post-workout recovery slide at a budget-friendly price.
