'Non break in' sandals that are 'immediately comfy' less than £20 on Amazon
Shoppers say their feet "haven't felt so pain free at the end of the day in a long time."
Finding the right pair of summer sandals isn't easy. Not only do you went them to look a touch stylish, but they do need to offer some support and comfort.
Whether heading into town or having a day by the beach, then shoppers can alleviate any form of foot pain with the Iqushion Ergonomic Flip-Flops from FitFlop that are said to be "like walking on clouds."
Even better, they are quite affordable on Amazon, with the white colourway being the cheapest at just £19.20, down from £24, with the online delivery firm saying they are at their "lowest price in 30 days."
They may boast the classic flip-flop style, but they aren't as flimsy thanks to an "ultra-light" iQushion midsole that has been crafted from a high-rebound air-foam, with front and back pillows to cushion the feet.
The intelligent design also features anatomically shaped straps to hold the sandals in place, taking pressure of the toes, while the contoured footbed diffuses underfoot pressure and gives natural arch support.

One five-star review read: "As a plantar fasciitis sufferer I was dreading summer and not being able to wear my beloved flip flops (which probably caused the problem in the first place.). I've heard of FitFlop but really don't like the thick type soles they are known for.

"Then I found these. Amazing support, super comfy and actually eased the pain in my foot. So impressed I bought 2 other pairs in different colours. Now I'm all set and will not be buying cheap unsupportive flip flops again."
A second shopper praised: "Love the support. They were immediately comfortable, no need to break in. I like the black and white color and the fabric top
Someone else praising the design said: "I have very flat feet, fallen arches and very frequent pain around the arch. I wore these on holiday for a week and my feet haven't felt so pain free at the end of the day in a long time."
Fashion deal of the week
New Balance has just launched a massive sale ahead of the summer, with up to half-price off.
Hate that break in period with stiff footwear? Then look no further than the Unisex RC42 Shoes, said to be "comfy straight out of the box", that have been reduced from £90 to just £45, saving shoppers 50 percent off the original asking price.
Featuring the classic minimalist silhouette that can be worn with everything from denim jeans to leggings, these trainers have been particularly designed for those with an active lifestyle.
Crafted from a "lightweight" suede/mesh construction, they boast a low profile that is suitable for those who spend long periods of time on their feet, while the a padded tongue and cushioned rubber sole ensure all day comfort.
Finished with the classic signature 'N' branding on the side, the half-price discount covers two colours - granite with white and linen with sea salt. As of writing, sizes range from a four through to nine, including a few half-sizes.
Shoppers can't stop praising the New Balance RC42 Shoes, as they have earned a 4.2 rating and glowing reviews for their "comfortable" design that means they "don't even have to break them in."
One five-star review read: "Very cute and comfortable right out of the box. On trend and has a somewhat cushioned midsole—perfect for wearing all day."
One shopper did provide a three-star review after finding the design to be quite narrow, writing: "Very narrow, and the sole tapers towards the bottom, so not very stable."
Someone else who praised the fit for their feet wrote: "I love these sandals!! So light and bouncy you feel like you're walking on a cloud. They have far more cushion and arch support than most flipflops/slip slops/thongs normally do. And they look great too. And because they're really light and slim they're ideal to take on holiday. Do yourself a favour and buy these over any others!!"
