The idea of easy-to-walk-in, "comfortable" sandals may trigger visuals of orthopedic shoes with an unsightly strap and an awkward heel height. But gone are the days of painful, sky-high heels equaling sophistication and now, comfortable shoes have become surprisingly chic thanks to the resurgence of flat footwear trends like dad sneakers and casual flip flops.

We're happily welcoming ease into the mix with these on-trend, but comfortable and walkable sandals. Shop the most comfortable sandals of the season below.
