These Are The Cushiest-Looking Sandals We've Ever Seen
After a long, dark winter, spring has finally sprung. It's time to put away the boots and make way for cute flats, chic sneakers and summery sandals. And just in time for warmer weather, HuffPost reader-beloved shoe brand Merrell has released the comfiest- and cushiest-looking sandal we've ever seen in fun new pastel colorways — and best of all, it's a lot more affordable than some of its pricier counterparts. These bouncy sandals are available in five different color combinations, each one cuter than the last, in sizes 5-11. They just might be the perfect sporty sandal, offering a pleasing blend of style, comfort and functionality for all your spring and summer adventures. They're made with lightweight and breathable vegan waterproof materials like recycled webbing, microfiber and mesh and feature a velcro hook-and-loop ankle closure that makes it easy to slip them on and off while keeping you stable. Soft Lycra lining and a cushy foam insole ensure that these sandals are extra supportive and bouncy (one reviewer even called them 'springy') while a durable sticky rubber outsole offers plenty of traction and can help you avoid slips, all while looking absolutely fabulous. (Eagle-eyed shoppers will notice that these sandals look strikingly similar to Sorel's cult-fave Kinetic Impact sandals, which, at $135, are close to double the price.) Reviewers note that they're great for people with wide feet and high arches and consistently emphasize the shoe's high comfort factor. If you're looking to fill a gap in your warm-weather shoe rotation, then let these Merrell cuties slide on into your closet. Get them from Amazon for $79.95+ (available in women's sizes 5–11 and in five colorways).

Love these cute and comfy moccasins!" —Red526Price: $54.95 (available in sizes 5–11, with wide options, and seven colors) A pair of Badgley Mischka embellished pumps practically made for twirling under the stars at weddings. These beauties sparkle with every step, offering the perfect balance of elegance, glitz, and no foot fatigue in sight. Promising review: "LOVE LOVE these shoes. For such a high heel they were amazingly comfortable and looked beautiful on my feet." —Lori0907Price: $235 (available in sizes 5–11 and six colors) A smart pair of Sam Edelman loafers polished for the office yet comfy enough for a round of cocktails and a little shimmy on the dance floor after at Happy Hour. Promising review: "I LOVE these! Comfortable right out of the box and so chic. I will be buying more." —KateB Price: $104.90+ (available in sizes 4–14, wide styles, and 19 styles) A pair of cushioned leather sneakers that are like giving your feet first-class tickets, no TSA line required. Wear 'em for errands, walks, or just because you feel like floating through your day. Promising review: "With an upcoming trip overseas, walking in comfy shoes became important. Form and function are important but so is how my foot looks in the shoe. These shoes answered all of the requirements I had for a shoe worth packing. I like that the shoe is very comfortable. I like that I can replace the insole with my own for extra support. I like that the toe box was roomy, the midsection over my arch is snug and the heal is padded and fits my foot. I like that the label is small and the laces aren't to wide across the top of the shoe when I look down. I like that these shoes are leather without suede that can get dirty quickly. I like that these shoes are not platform so I can keep my balance on cobblestones and gravel. I really like these shoes." —SJP14Price: $160 (available in sizes 5–11.5 and five colors) A pair of leather Lucky ankle boots that feel like a dream from the very first wear. I'm talking cloud-like cushioning, soft-as-butter leather, and a flexible sole that moves with you, not against you. Your feet? They're about to get very lucky. 🍀 Promising review: "I have purchased at least three pairs of these booties over the years. I have a size 11 foot that runs wide and needs a slight heel and wide-toe box, which makes finding nice shoes hard. I have purchased the M width, and they have stretched well without giving me blisters. These leather booties fit like a glove and are the perfect pair for traveling. I have walked 10K+ steps a day in them in cities around the world. They can be more comfortable than sneakers, especially on planes." —FrSeed2StomachPrice: $129 (available in sizes 5–12 and eight colors) A pair of pointed-toe flats with a subtly dipped toe line that adds just the right amount of ooh la la to your step. These babies bring the flair without sacrificing comfort, and your regular ol' flats are shaking. Promising review: "These flats fit beautifully, they are very comfortable and look great. Looks great with floral-printed skirts." —shopper613Price: $99.99 (available in sizes 5–12, three width options, and two colors) A suave pair of Blondo over-the-knee boots which are wonderfully waterproof, walkable, and wildly chic. They'll keep you looking cool and feeling cozy even when the weather's doing the most. Promising review: "Love the boots! Beautiful, soft suede. The height is just above the knee which dresses up the legs nicely. Very comfortable. I can see that I will wear those for a few seasons." —ParisPrice: $239.95 (available in sizes 5–11 and three colors) A pair of Open Edit block heel sandals so you can fully cement your status as dance floor royalty at every upcoming wedding and special event. They're stable enough to twirl 'til midnight and supportive enough that you won't even think about taking them off. Promising review: "Love it! Very comfortable to wear! I attended a wedding in Napa and I didn't have to change into flat shoes. I was able to wear these until end of the party." —GCastillo Price: $59.95 (available in sizes 5–11 and four colors) A dapper pair of Darry leather loafers to wear with tailored trousers, flowy midi skirts, or even cuffed jeans. With cushy insoles and sturdy support, they're ready to keep you comfy on your feet from morning meetings to evening martinis or mocktails, no limp in sight. Promising review: "I wear a size 7 and the 7 in these fit perfectly. Instead of my usual go to black got these in the red color Plum Rouge. The color is a shiny brick red and perfect for fall. These shoes are so cushy and comfortable as soon as I put them on. I can stand or walk hours in these easy. My new favorite shoe." —50sstarletPrice: $49.99+ (originally $120; available in sizes 5.5–12, with wide options, and six colors) A handsome pair of Marc Fisher pointed toe booties that strike the perfect balance between sleek sophistication and everyday wearability. They're sharp enough to elevate any outfit, but comfy enough to carry you through a full day of strutting, stomping, or spontaneous dance breaks. Promising review: "Boots are dressy and very comfortable. Can wear for hours with no problems." —AnonymousPrice: $169 (available in sizes 5–11 and five colors) A pair of chunky waterproof sneakers because few things ruin your day faster than soggy socks and soaked-through shoes. These keep your feet dry, your look fresh, and your strut or shine. Promising review: "I was looking for some comfortable waterproof shoes. I have short wide feet and it's difficult to find comfortable shoes. These shoes are very comfortable. I've worn them twice so far in the rain and am happy with this purchase." —HelenMKPrice: $100 (available in sizes 5–12 and five colors) A pair of slingback flats with a little heel for polish and a strap that actually stays put. Great for when you want to look put-together without committing to full-on heels. Price: $120 (available in sizes 5–11 and five styles) And a pair of T-strap sandals to keep you and your feet cool as a cucumber on warmer days while providing the lift you crave without the pain. Promising review: "Soooooo comfortable can wear all day and night. My most comfortable shoes ever." —VirziPrice: $129.95 (available in sizes 6–12, with wide options, and four colors)
