Reviewers only have good things to say about this highly supportive pair from Free People, which is still available in three neutral tones and some seasonal shades.

"These darling sandals are as comfortable as they are stylish. Versatile as hell on top of it all," one reviewer raves. Another adds, "I bought these in the sand. Once I tried them on I was obsessed and ordered the yellow (love!) and the black." Shoppers say they run true to size.

This sandal can go anywhere, with any outfit: work with a sleek pair of wide-leg trousers, the beach with a breezy sundress, or the farmer's market with a t-shirt and jean shorts. Its versatility comes from the contoured and surprisingly comfortable footbed, paired with a full-coverage leather upper.

These sandals have chunky soles with a lightweight feel and several straps for an edgier look. More than 7,000 reviewers who've tried them say the real appeal is their comfort factor.

Here's a sample of the praise from other shoppers: "Have you ever experienced love at first step? I have. In these shoes. I wear these shoes with literally EVERYTHING. They’re the only shoes I wear when I’m not at work. I put them on just to clean the house because they’re that comfortable. I even have tan lines stripes across the tops of my feet because these are all. I. Ever. Wear. They’re stylish. They go with practically everything. I get compliments on them at least once a week. Did I say they’re comfy? Even after 8+ hours of wear while walking—no complaints. "
