Most sandals have an upper made of breathable materials like fabric or leather. The footbed may consist of foam, cork, or an orthotic material. And the outsole should be made of durable, slip-resistant material—like rubber. The adjustable strap doesn't offer as much adjustability as some of the other sandals on this list. More importantly, at Men’s Health we have a whole fashion closet dedicated to calling in, trying out, and selecting the best as well as the newest products. We put them on ourselves to see how the items look and feel before making our final decision. And we constantly go into the fashion closet to feel a product’s materials and test it. The Baretraps Danny Sandals are high-quality, comfortable shoes with solid arch support. We particularly liked that they supported our arches without putting too much pressure on them or forcing them into an uncomfortably raised position.

Despite their name, the Vionic Reyna Flatform Sandals are anything but flat in the insole, and instead offer some serious arch support. For those with high arches, these platforms have a raised inner arch to keep your feet supported throughout the day. And, when we tested, we particularly loved the plump leather straps that felt soft and supple on our ankles and feet. Both of our editors who tested these sandals appreciated the adjustable leather straps as both of them struggle to find shoes that fit their wide and tiny feet, respectively. The only potential downside to these sandals is that if you're wearing them all day, you may find the leather straps could loosen over time. However, we think the comfort that comes with the leather is worth a little wear and tear.

Podiatrist Dr. Cory Clement recommends a few characteristics to find the best slide for you. “Look for a slide with a cushioned rubber or EVA sole that provides good arch support and stability,” he says.

Massage Effect: The dimpled structure provides a massaging effect, promoting better blood circulation in your feet. While the insole is a very firm rubber, it didn't bother us at all. In fact, we think it made them feel sturdier and higher quality—like they'll last for years. However, the rubber isn't light so be prepared for a slightly heavier shoe than other sandals on this list. We also appreciated how the straps ensured our feet stayed put, reducing strain.

It features Chaco's trademarked webbing system that wraps around your foot for a secure, comfortable fit. The webbing is fully adjustable, so you can customize the fit to your foot.

Not only are these sandals comfortable, but they're also stylish.
