Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women’s. Promising review: "I absolutely love these shoes. They fit like a glove. They are comfortable and supportive. They are so cute. They reminded me of those retro ’70s wood sandals. I have ordered at least a dozen pairs of sandals this year, trying to find the perfect open-toed wedge. This is the one. I am going to order them in every color. They will look very cute with dresses, but will also be perfect with short shorts and cropped pants. Get them if you are on the fence like I was. They are worth the money." —Mousecapades Price: $219.95 (available in sizes 5.5–12 and three colors) Promising review: "These are terrific for anyone who has feet just a little wider than average. Teva is usually great for me, and I’m so excited they came out with a sandal with a platform. They are definitely between sporty and fun. Sturdy. I bought it in two colors. I only do that when the shoe is just perfect." —isabellawannab Price: $110 (available in sizes 5–12 and two colors) Promising review: "I have tried for years to find comfortable sandals for all-day wear! These are perfection. The platform makes me feel like I am walking on pillows all day!! I have recommended to two coworkers, and now they are buying a couple of pairs!" —Mammygirl Price: $44.99 (available in sizes 6–11 and three colors) Price: $144.95 (available in sizes 6–11 and two colors) Promising review: "I bought these wedges in black and the chalk color. I am out and about all day for my job, and when I get home, I still don’t want to take them off. Very cushioned, I love them." —sunpeak Price: $150 (available in sizes 5–12, four colors, and two wedge designs) Price: $79.95 (available in sizes 5–11 and three colors) Promising review: "This is the most cushy platform sandal I have ever worn. I have Fred Flintstone, very flat feet, and need something with no arch support or molding in the footbed. These are perfect. Will be getting all colors." —Hipchick46 Price: $139.95 (available in sizes 5–12 and three colors) Promising review: "Very comfortable and really cute wedge. Goes with so many dresses." —Lisa56 Price: $150 (available in sizes 6–11 and two colors) Price: $214 (available in sizes 5–11 and two colors) Promising review: "These shoes are so comfy — I was able to walk to and from a wedding and wear them during the majority of the night without my feet hurting (which is not a normal occurrence for me as I am a heavier gal). I received compliments all night long — right now I'm trying to decide which color to get next!" —_theduchess Price: $47.95 (available in sizes 6–11 and four colors) Promising review: "Retro fun. This Jelly version of the old Scholl sandals is a lighthearted version of the classic." —Anonymous Price: $129 (available in sizes 5–10 and six colors) Promising review: "After trying on dozens of sandals, I came across this one, and I am so glad I purchased it. I prefer the higher platform of the Papillio style vs. the original Birkenstock. They are very comfortable and the footbed molds to your feet and gets more comfortable over time. I have a fairly high arch, and the footbed and adjustable straps let you make the shoe about as 'custom' as you can make a sandal. The double straps give you lots of support, so your feet do not get tired. I have owned these for several weeks, and I can easily wear them all day." —texastea Price: $123.95+ (available in sizes 5–11.5 and six colors) Price: $129.95 (available in sizes 6–11, four colors, and two designs) Price: $70 (available in sizes 5–11 and three colors) Price: $119 (available in sizes 5–10 and four colors) Promising review: "I have a narrow foot, so the width on these is perfect. They are comfortable. What I really like is that the cork is covered with leather, so less chance of deteriorating cork." —ks123 Price: $165 (available in sizes 6–11 and four colors) Price: $99 (available in sizes 5–10 and four colors) Price: $300 (available in sizes 5–10 and three colors) Price: $79.99 (available in sizes 6–10 and three colors) Promising review: "I was surprised that I would pay $175 for flip-flops, but these are exceptional compared to a lot of other platform flip-flops. I've been complimented a number of times. I like the fact that they are flat and not curved. Also, the platform thickness is a nice height. They are a staple in my closet." —Brightlight777 Price: $175 (available in sizes 7–11 and two colors) Promising review: "I have wide feet, and I tore three ligaments in my ankle last year. These are so comfortable and make me feel like I’m able to wear heels again." —candimarie 32 Price: $140 (available in sizes 5–12 and three colors) Promising review: "Danced all night in these babies, straight out of the box, no need to break them i.n 💕" —KsInCali Price: $189.95 (available in sizes 5–11 and five colors) Price: $110 (available in sizes 6–11 and three colors) * Pairs Of Shoes That’ll Basically Pair With Any Outfit * If You’re Ready To Break Up With Heels, Here Are 30 Pairs Of Flats To Try Instead * Pairs Of Shoes Reviewers Say Are Actually So Comfortable Plus, waterproof sandals and finds from Amazon, DSW, Walmart, and Zappos.
