My life motto: You can never have too many comfortable shoes. I find this especially true for warm-weather shoes, as good, supportive sandals are incredibly hard to find. So, as a proud owner of these EVA kicks — a particularly thick, cushiony pair of slides — I must say these are the best ones around. They look similar to a recovery sandal, only for a lot less dough — especially now, as they’re discounted to just $20 a pair! Even better? These being known to provide immense foot pain relief also makes them a true steal of a deal.
I can attest that they’re incredibly cozy and I’m not alone. So many reviewers say they help with foot pain “more than expensive sneakers,” — and fast.
“After having them for less than 72 hours, my plantar fasciitis feels astronomically better,” a reviewer shared, calling the shoes a “Plantar Fasciitis SAVIOR” they “CANNOT recommend enough!!”
These waterproof, supportive slides were originally designed as a shower shoe, yet reviewers wear them for comfort and pain relief indoors and out.
I find comfy slides are ideal for everyday lounging, taking out the trash and going to check my mail, but these shoes initially caught my eye because of their colorful appearance. These unisex slides feature a 1.7-inch-thick sole that’s responsive and supportive underfoot. They’re listed in both women’s and men’s sizes, up to 15-16 and 13-14, respectively. As EVA foam material can be known to shrink in heat (there are many Reddit threads you can about it), many say you want to size up in the kicks.
They have a simple look, similar to pool slides, that are easy to kick on and off, with manual adjustment. The brand says the shoes were designed to be worn in the shower, making them great for water activities, yet they’re safe to be worn around the house and out on the town, with many saying they own multiple pairs.
While I was drawn in by the wide color range, what got me to hit “buy” was the number of positive reviews from people with painful foot conditions, like plantar fasciitis and arthritis.
“These are the most comfortable slip-on shoes I’ve owned compared to all the other flip flops I’ve purchased,” one wrote. “I have mild arthritis and loose cartilage in both knees, resulting in occasional knee pain, and as soon as I switch from my sneakers to these shoes, I almost forget I have any knee issues.”
The comfort comes from the thick, EVA sole, which is super soft, lightweight and compression-resistant. “I’m a slightly ‘bigger’ gal but they still manage to give me good support,” another said, describing the shoes as “like walking on a cloud but without the squishy, sinking feeling you get with some of the thicker-soled fitness shoes.”
Reviewers call the shoes a “game changer” for plantar fasciitis recovery, especially for those who’ve been instructed to wear shoes 24/7.
″...I was told to not be bare-foot, even at home, so these were worn all around the house, and a lot of the time when I was out and about. I even take them with when I travel,” one said. Noting, ”...I’ve worn them for almost a year now, and they really did provide relief for my pain...and they have a lot of miles on them, both at home and on the go, and they still look good.”
Many came to the shoes after their doctors recommended more expensive options, saying these budget-friendly babies worked better. “I have heel pain and these help a lot, more than the expensive sneakers I bought to help,” another wrote.
And can we TALK about the colors?! ...This range is all the more reason to buy multiple pairs.
I was eager to see the style options as I’m trying to include more bright colors in my wardrobe to mix into the collection of black clothing items I’ve acquired over the years. The color range seems to be a big draw to many customers, who cite excitement to own multiple pairs.
“I had to get a few more pairs because of how good they felt on my feet,” one said, calling the shoes great for gardening. ”...Buying several more colors.”
“They’ve quickly become my go-to summer shoes,” another wrote. “Whether I’m wearing them with jeans, dresses, or shorts, they match everything and keep my feet happy.”
Reviewers love these summer slides for adding comfort and color to their wardrobe. Read more 5-star reviews and grab a pair while they’re $20.
“These are the most comfortable slip-on shoes I’ve owned compared to all the other flip flops I’ve purchased. I have mild arthritis and loose cartilage in both knees, resulting in occasional knee pain, and as soon as I switch from my sneakers to these shoes, I almost forget I have any knee issues. It’s like walking on a cloud but without the squishy, sinking feeling you get with some of the thicker-soled fitness shoes. Now that it’s cold, I will continue to wear these with socks rather than by warm slippers, since they have better cushioning. Also, I have no issues with these sliding off my feet and the traction is okay, but note I only wear these indoors. My feet measure 10.1 to 10.2 inches and I bought a size 9-10 in Women’s and they fits well. I can’t speak for the durability because, although I’ve owned them for a year, I keep them at my parent’s house and only wear them when I visit, so I’ve only worn them for a total of about 10 weeks. Laslty, the pink color is adorable and I’m a slightly ‘bigger’ gal but they still manage to give me good support.” — Shopper
“I LOVE these slides!! After having them for less than 72 hours, my plantar fasciitis feels astronomically better!! I CANNOT recommend enough!!” — Hope
“I LOVE these slippers. They are so comfortable and such a great price. As someone with foot pain, walking on my hardwood with these on has changed my day. The light purple is a little lighter than the photo, imo, but still cute nonetheless. Definitely going to buy another pair.” — Annie Lee
“They were incredibly comfortable with no break-in period needed. The footbed has just the right amount of cushioning, and the straps are soft but secure—no rubbing or blisters. What really impressed me is how true to size they are. I wear a size 6 consistently, and these fit like a glove. Not too tight, not too loose—just perfect. I even wore them on a full day of errands and walking, and my feet felt great the whole time. They’ve quickly become my go-to summer shoes. Whether I’m wearing them with jeans, dresses, or shorts, they match everything and keep my feet happy. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a pair of sandals that are comfortable, true to size, and actually supportive.” — Amanda

A pair of lightweight flip-flop that are actually supportive (20% off)
It's rare to find a pair of straightforward flip-flops that reviewers say are actually comfortable and supportive, but by golly, we did — and they're 20% off. Coming in an abundance of colors and prints in women's sizes 5.5-11, reviewers have worn them to walk *13 miles* in Europe, with no blisters or pain in sight.
Nortiv 8 sneakers (20% off)
Among the big brands, Hoka sneakers offer the most desirable maximal cushy comfort, but it comes at a steep price of around $200. If you’d rather skip the trend tax, consider this pair of sneakers we found on Amazon instead. These sneakers from Nortiv 8 are “extremely comfortable” and feel much like “walking on clouds,” with so many reviewers saying they’re comparable to Hoka Cliftons but at a fraction of the cost. They’re attractive, users say they’re very well made, come highly recommended for anyone with plantar fasciitis, and, right now, they’re on sale for 20% off! That’s under $50 for comfort that rivals the major players.
