A pair of dressy flat sandals to give yourself the gift of never having to think about which sandal you're going to wear again, because these will go with ~everything~.

Which also means you can pick, like, FOUR DIFFERENT COLORS for the price of one pair from "that brand." You're welcome. Promising review: "These sandals felt comfortable right off the start. I have trouble keeping flip-flops on, but the strap and toe strap keep it exactly on your foot. The cushion and arch are very good. You feel like you're walking barefoot. I will definitely recommend!" —GardengalGet them from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and 13 styles/colors). Or a Cushionaire cork footbed sandal for a less strappy (but equally comfy and affordable!) look. Promising review: "These Cushionaire sandals are amazing! I got the brown pair, and the color is exactly what I was hoping for! A cool-toned brown that goes with everything. They look just like Birkenstock but for a fraction of the price! I sized up to a 9.5 (I'm normally a 9) because the reviews were mixed, and I'm so glad I did. The fit is perfect. The heel cushion makes them incredibly comfortable I can already tell I'll be living in these all summer long. Don't hesitate on these, seriously!" —Daniela K. Get them from Amazon for $29.98+ (available in sizes 5–12, in wide sizes, and 22 colors). A cushy pair of slides that will basically live by your door at all times because they're the PERFECT slip-on-and-go situation. Plus, they come in plenty of colors, so you can find the perfect look to complement your chosen summer vibes. Promising review: "I have these slides in 7 colors. They are beyond comfortable! They actually feel therapeutic when I put them on. Whenever I wear the cow or leopard prints, no fail, I get complimented on them!

Highly recommend!" —K LamelGet them from Amazon for $20.36+ (available in women's sizes 4–16 and 15 colors).

A pair of fully adjustable Teva Hurricane sandals because there's no reason to put up with awkward toe-rubbing and too-tight strap pain when Tevas exist. And they have a cute retro look that is sure to have you reaching for them all summer long. Promising review: "Very comfortable and fashionable shoes. I have been wearing them now for two weeks, and I've worn them everywhere. To the park, the beach, and around. I am 7 months pregnant now, so I appreciate how easy they are to put on and adjust. They are also supportive, not like a flip-flop. They are also very easy to clean. I got wet sand and dry sand on them, and it came off like nothing. I just had to brush the dry sand and lightly rinse the wet sand. It didn't stay stuck in the crevices underneath. They also dried fast and still look good. They don't look all weathered. I 100% recommend these sandals if you want something more like a shoe than a flip-flop and just a great summer shoe overall." —Ariel SzczupakiewiczGet them from Amazon for $78+ (available in sizes 5–14 and dozens of styles/colors) A pair of Merrells for any puddle-jumping, damp gardening, and wet sidewalk stomping you've got ahead of you this year. These are designed to dry quickly and handle all kinds of terrain, so no fears about these getting ruined the first, second, or 100th time you put them on your feet! Promising reviews: "I had these sandals years ago (more than 10) wore them out. Couldn't find them in stores, so I was so happy they popped up on Amazon to buy them. Yep still my favorite sandals with arch support, and so comfortable. They stay on your foot like you have shoes on, unlike flip-flops that snap as you walk." —Jo M."I've been ordering Merrell sandals for years and I learned to order a whole size more for the summer, since my feet swell in the summer months. I don't like flip-flops since they have no support. Merrell sandals are extremely comfortable, they are easy to clean, look good, and the variety of colors is excellent. The sole is very well-made and they last for years. The ones that have the space for the big toe are very attractive and feel good on your feet. I have over 6 pairs of them." —Ski-dogsGet them from Amazon for $54+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 17 colors). And some Keen closed-toe sporty sandals if you want those same puddle-jumping abilities, but with a lil' extra toe protection. Promising review: "I got these shoes for camping because flip-flops just don't work out in the forest. Everybody else had shoes like these so I figured I needed a pair too. I got them and wore them around for short periods of time and found them to be very comfortable. Just came back from a 5-day camping trip in the forest, wore them every day and they were very comfortable. We had rain, we had hai,l and we had sunny weather and they work great for everything." —stephanieGet them from Amazon for $64.95+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 30 colors/patterns). A pair of platform Crocs sandals everyone is going to ask about, because not only are they heckin' stylish, but they're also SUPREMELY comfy. Yes, you're going to have to say, "They are really Crocs," 700 times. Yes, it's still worth it. Promising review: "Having various foot issues, I can't do flip-flops, or go barefoot, or wear totally flat sandals. These Croc Brooklyn sandals are heavenly! They cushion your feet, and the bands and wedge-style sole provide support and all-day comfort. I have two pairs (black and tan) and live in them all spring and summer. They go with everything from jeans and shorts to dresses and Capri pants. My #1 go-to sandal!" —Cheryl meisterGet them from Amazon for $49.95+ (available in sizes 4–11 and 19 colors). A pair of sports sandals reviewers say you can wear from dawn until dusk and still want to go back and wear the very next day. That's the kind of comfort we DESERVE in 2025. Promising review: "A friend of mine recommended Ecco sandals to me when I was admiring the pair she was wearing. I told her I needed a good sandal that had arch support, as at my age, I can't wear simple flat leather sandals or flip-flops anymore. She said Ecco is all she'll buy — that they are super adjustable and comfortable — and while they are a bit pricey, they last for many years. I figured that makes the pricing a lot more reasonable if I could get at least a couple of years out of a pair. Got my first pair yesterday, and they literally are the best-made sandals I've ever owned! So comfortable!! I can see them lasting many years, which ends up making them priced quite well. I will be buying more colors! These sandals are amazing!! I can't recommend them enough!!" —TWH4GailGet them from Amazon for $108.88+ (available in sizes 4–12.5 and 34 colors). A pair of Dr. Martens fisherman sandals if the fishwife trend is reeling you in (get it?) and you want to add your own punk vibes to the mix. Promising review: "I love these shoes, they are so cute! I only had the shoes for 3 days and then wore them for 15 hours working at a college orientation, and they were comfortable all day. I was amazed! Easy to style, sizing is true, and the look is exactly what I was looking for." —Summer SGet them from Dr. Martens for $150 (available in sizes 5–12 and two colors). Or a similar pair from Anthropologie but without the big sole if you want a more trim fisherman vibe. Promising review: "These sandals are fantastic and a staple for summer. They run TTS and are incredibly comfortable with no time to break in. The leather is butter-soft, and I receive compliments on them every time I wear them. I will be getting more colors!" —NicoleGet them from Anthropologie for $125 (available in sizes 36–41 and four colors). A pair of buckle slides as spunky as they are functional. A deep heel cup, arch support, and adjustable straps mean these will feel custom made to your foot. Promising review: "These shoes are one of the most comfortable slip-ons. They are much safer than flip-flops and have good arch support, and you can adjust the width. I love them." —ObscureGet them from Amazon for $25.19+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 19 colors). A pair of geometric cutout slip-ons to up the quirk without upping the discomfort. Your feet are in good hands thanks to the exclusively patented footbed designed for long-term wear.

A pair of bejeweled sandals because when you walk in the room, you can still make the whole place ✨shimmer. ✨ Promising review: "These adorable sandals are nice with my jeans, leggings, and summer dresses. I much prefer them to flip-flops — not only for the pretty style, but for the strap that keeps them from slapping against my heel when I walk. I wore them to church last Sunday and to a birthday party yesterday and got a lot of compliments on them. They've got lots of bling, but not over-the-top. Very pretty and feminine." —WynterFire11Get them from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes 6–10 and seven colors). A pair of low wedges with a crossover strap if you want some unique tan lines when you're catching rays. Promising review: "I have a really hard time with heels but these were comfortable and not difficult to walk in, even in grass. They stretched, but didn't 'snap' on the heel (like a flip-flop) as some other similar styles I tried did. Thinking I might need to buy some more colors." —ShannonGet them from Amazon for $45.49+ (available in sizes 5–11, including wide sizes, and three colors). Some Quince platform sandals for a little more structure and a lot more WOW factor. Plus, they're very comfortable, according to reviewers. Promising review: "I purchased these heels for graduation in NYC. I received so many compliments on them and walked all over NYC without are not only beautiful, but super comfortable! Great quality." —KRISGet them from Quince for $89.90 (originally $270; available in sizes 5–12 and two colors) A pair of Crocs slides to get an excellent shoe and an excellent canvas for all of your Crocs shoe charms. Promising review: "I needed a new pair of rubber sandals. I love these as they are dressier than flip-flops, and I can put Crocs charms on them. They are raised yet stable. Highly recommend." —CJGet them from Amazon for $26.96+ (available in sizes 4–11 and 13 colors). A rhinestone-embellished open-toe slingback sandal that has just a ~glimmer~ of stylistic oomph so it's both the perfect everyday shoe and great for those in-between — but frequent — casual-but-elevated kinda meetups that seem to pop up every summer. (Looking at you, new fancy brunch place!) Promising review: "I was shocked when I went to buy a new pair in a different color and it said I've had these sandals for three years!! They're still very comfortable and in good shape!" —Holly them from Amazon for $37.95+ (available in 5–12 and 16 colors).

Promising reviews: "I love how comfortable they are, they feel nicer than my favorite flip-flops!! —Tanna LoHouse"Fun and nostalgic, and actually more comfortable than the original wooden ones. I like that these have the brass studs to attach the upper to the clog, and there is hidden velcro to make adjusting these a cinch! Can't wait to wear these out!" —Amazon CustomerGet them from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and three colors). A pair of Keen back strap sandals for making sure your sandals stay on their feet as they should in the most colorful, comfiest way possible. Promising review: "Obsessed! Hands-down, the most comfortable pair of sandals I have ever owned. My feet hurt when wearing flip-flops. These have good arch support and are comfortable for walking and long wear. Ordering another color!" —Tia BuchsGet them from Amazon for $52.13+ (available in sizes 5–11, including wide sizes, and 18 colors).

I've had mine for a couple of years and they are still as comfortable today as they were when I first got them. I was a loyal buyer of another popular brand that look similar to these, but these are just as comfortable and hold up just as well. I will purchase more in other colors!" —Dog momGet them from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and three styles/colors). A pair of minimalistic sandals to give you the perfect shoe pairing to go with all your tunics and peasant tops. Promising review: "I don't usually spend $120 on shoes, but I was smitten by these beauties and decided to splurge. I'm a solid 8 M, and these fit my feet perfectly. I like these sandals because they're more 'solid' than a lot of the flip-flop types. I don't want to worry about my shoes coming off. These cover a lot of your foot, affording you some protection. The leather is buttery. But they don't look clunky or like old lady sandals. If I could find these on sale, I'd buy some more in different colors. Maybe at the end of the season?" —Amazon CustomerGet them from Amazon for $109.89+ (available in sizes 6–11 and six colors). A pair of cute colorful wedge sandals so perfectly meant for warm weather, you'll wonder how you ever survived a spring and summer without these.

What is this sorcery? These were more comfortable than my flip-flops. You could probably run at least a 10K in these if you had to." —Jennifer BGet them from Amazon for $59.04+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide widths, and 35 colors).

Rain, rust and red tape: PU hostels mock Chandigarh's clean city tag
1 2 3 4 5 6 Chandigarh: Just days after Chandigarh bagged the title of India's second cleanest city among big cities in the Swachh Survekshan rankings, a walk through Panjab University's hostels offers a jarring contrast - discarded furniture, rusting coolers, broken racks and wooden scraps lie dumped in open corners and backyards, untouched for years. While the city basks in its Swachh Bharat glory, the university hostels seem battling health and hygiene risk bureaucratic inertia, a scene that's less "clean city" and more "dump yard in progress." Despite repeated complaints by students, the junk has remained untouched for months, with many items reportedly lying there for over two years. Research scholar Shispal Sheokand, who flagged the issue recently, said he submitted a formal memorandum to Dean Students Welfare (DSW) Prof Amit Chauhan, urging immediate clearance of the trash before it leads to a health crisis. "This isn't just about aesthetics. These rotting wooden frames and rusted metal coolers invite disease, especially during the rains," Sheokand said. Prof Bharadwaj Bargai, the newly appointed warden of Boys Hostel No. 5, admitted the problem was long pending. "Most of this furniture has been lying here since around two years. We are aware of the issue and are taking steps to dispose it off soon," he said.

Officials in the university's administration wing privately admit that even without the protest-related disruptions, the process of auctioning junk furniture has historically been slow and bogged down by procedural red tape. "Even small decisions go through multiple departments," said a staffer, requesting anonymity. Students argue that bureaucratic delays shouldn't put their health at risk. "It's ironic that a top-ranked university can't manage basic hygiene in its hostels," said Divyansh, a research scholar from the Anthropology department. With the monsoon picking up, the university's sluggish response to hostel sanitation has once again highlighted the cost of institutional inertia. Responding to the issue, DSW Prof Amit Chauhan explained that there is a procedure in place for disposing of discarded items, but the process takes time. "Hostel authorities first prepare an inventory and submit it to the university administration. Once approved, the materials are auctioned off to external bidders. Unfortunately, this time the process was delayed because the DSW office was shut down in April and part of May due to student protests," he said.

Who does what: PU issues SOP to untangle DSW office
1 2 3 4 Chandigarh: In a move to define roles for better student welfare management, Panjab University has notified a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) defining the roles of the Dean Student Welfare (DSW), DSW (Women), Associate DSW, and wardens. The decision comes as part of broader reforms initiated after a student was stabbed on campus in April, sparking protests and prompting the university to set up multiple internal committees. The SOP formalises the division of responsibilities within the DSW office, which had earlier seen overlaps and occasional friction, particularly between the DSW and DSW (Women). Under the new framework, DSW (Women) will handle girls' hostel matters, ranging from infrastructure to grievances, but all issues will be routed through her, with the DSW retaining final authority. Matters related to reserved category students will be routed through the Associate DSW. The university's official calendar recognises only the DSW post, not DSW (Women) or Associate DSW. However, both roles have functioned actively in recent years, sometimes without clearly defined boundaries. The SOP attempts to reduce such ambiguity by laying down internal processes and oversight mechanisms. Inspections of hostels and canteens by student council office bearers are now permitted only upon written complaints, and with prior permission. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo These must take place in the presence of wardens, DSW (W), or the dietician, and not during peak hours. Photography during inspections is prohibited, and the dignity of workers must be maintained. The SOP also mandates that at least 75% of wardens remain on campus during each academic session. Quarterly financial reports from hostels will now be mandatory. The reform is part of a larger administrative overhaul currently underway. Other changes already rolled out include audit checks in hostel allotments, SOPs for cultural fests, restrictions on unapproved student trips, and a draft constitution for the campus student council. The university has also approved reserving a seat for women in the student council's executive body, though a committee is still seeking legal opinion for its implementation. Officials said the SOP will help bring more accountability, better coordination, and clearer lines of authority across the student welfare setup. Key SOP provisions Girls' hostel matters to be handled by DSW (Women); routed through her, final say with DSW Reserved category issues to be routed via Associate DSW At least 75% wardens must remain on campus during the session Hostel/canteen inspections by students only on written complaint and with prior permission Inspections allowed only in presence of wardens/DSW officials; no photography Committees must include student council reps and senior wardens Hostel finances to be reported quarterly What 'routed through DSW (W)' means While DSW (Women) will handle day-to-day affairs of girls' hostels, including grievances, safety, and amenities, every decision will formally pass through her to the DSW for final approval. The SOP stops short of granting her independent authority, keeping the DSW at the top of the chain. PU's official calendar, notably, only mentions the DSW post, leaving DSW (W) and ADSW as active but technically undefined actors in the university's script. What VC said on DSW being final authority Asked why the final authority rests with the DSW, VC Prof Renu Vig said, "The DSW office works as a team, but every team needs a leader. As per the PU calendar, the DSW is the designated statutory post, which is why all financial and administrative powers are vested with the DSW. The SOP is meant to clarify roles, not sideline anyone."
