29 Comfortable Summer Shoes If You Hate Blisters
Strappy chunky heels perfect for tearing it up on the dance floor this wedding season. Despite the solid, budget-friendly price, reviewers confirm there's no painful break-in period.
"Barefoot" walking sneakers designed to feel like you're wearing nothing at all...nothing at all... I'm talking: elastic collars, *memory foam-padded* heels, and a wide toe box. It's the foot equivalent of wearing pajamas outside.
Soda flatform espadrilles offering an adorably chunky look that just screams beach vacation. In fact, I think they're already looking up flights to Greece as we speak.
Foam slides so soft and squishy, you'll feel like you strapped pillows to your feet. Wear 'em around the house, to the spa, at the beach, or for long walks on vacation. Yes, they really can do it all!
A pair of New Balance's classic 574s offering such foot-loving comfort, it's no wonder the brand has been a dad fave for so long. Now put these on and get out there to mow the lawn!
A pair of ankle rain boots because I can't be the only one annoyed by clunky knee-high wellies hitting me in the shins. These sleek Chelsea boots are more comfortable and subtle enough that you can even wear them on sunny days without getting any weird looks.
A pair of crossed-ankle-strap flats for anyone looking for a touch of ballerina chicness but without any of the toe-crunching agony that normally comes with the line of work.
A pair of Cushionaire cork-bottom sandals that are not only supremely comfortable but also an affordable alternative to Mayari Birks. The similarities go past just looks: They also have 100% genuine suede soles, so your feet are still treated to the best.
Or if you're looking for an alternative to Birkenstock Bostons, a pair of clogs doing a great impression for a fraction of the price — soft suede, arch support, cork footbeds, and all.
Water-resistant slip-on sneakers from Dr. Scholl's (that's right, the shoe insert people) with cushioned insoles that will cradle your foot through hours of walking. They're easy to kick on and off, making them ideal for going on early morning dog walks, making quick trips to the mailbox, and breezing through the TSA line.
The famous Plaka sandals — over 19,000 5-star reviewers love these for their comfort and water-resistant braided straps that make them the ultimate beachwear. The beach is a no-blister zone!
Adidas Cloudfoam Pure running sneaks that stay true to their name — it really feels like walking on clouds! The memory sockliner molds to your foot so the shoes start cushy and only get comfier with time.
Oiled nubuck clogs with tractor soles to keep you from slipping while you attempt to get the perfect angle for a photo of you and the pretty summer flowers you match.
Rothy's slip-on sneakers that are a favorite amongst parents, long-walk-takers, and pet owners. These are machine washable, so you can just throw them in the laundry bin whenever they're looking a lil' dingy.
And pointed-toe flats similar to classic Rothy's with stretchy knit uppers that'll have you tap dancing with glee when you try them on. When your dancing shoes start to get dusty, just toss 'em in the wash.
Ergonomic FitFlops that have been engineered to be the flip-flops to top all flip-flops. The air-foam soles are shaped to perfectly cradle your feet, meaning you can flip *and* flop for hours, pain-free.
A pair of over-the-knee boots for when you know your night out is gonna involve a lot of walking but still want to serve. The stretchy thigh-highs will make any outfit club ready, and the chunky heels will let you actually dance when you get there.
Crocs wedges that are decidedly less aesthetically offensive than the clog version but just as comfortable. Reviewers swear by them for any event that requires a lot of walking or standing.
Crisscross slingbacks for anyone who loves flats but is sick and tired of ballerina flats. These buttery leather sandals were handmade in Argentina and only get softer with time.
Sanuk flip-flops with cushioning that mimics yoga mat material, meaning your sweaty feet are going to be in good hands. Oh, and they last FOR-EVERRR.
Lightweight and breathable sock-style sneakers for people who long to wear slippers outside. These knit kicks hug your feet and stretch as you walk. The flexible grooves add extra grip so you can scamper up rocks or skip down cobblestones without falling on your face (hopefully).
Ultra-lightweight Cole Haan sneakers with a simple silhouette that makes it an easy choice to grab and go every single morning. There's no break-in period, so you can take these leather-topped cuties for a stroll right out of the box.
Dansko Britney clogs, a longtime favorite amongst all foot-havers thanks to their incredible arch support, durability, adjustable straps, and general art-teacher-chic style.
Sorel Kinetic Impact lace sneakers with a lightweight, breathable design boasting a dual-section sole for some much-needed cushioning. The cute scalloped sole is just the cherry on top.
Or a Sorel strappy sandal in a variety of fun and eye-popping colorways. Take a look at the below in all their candy-colored glory. Like the sneaker version, the scalloped soles are lightweight but offer increased ground contact for support.
Fisherman-inspired sandals with crisscross straps that keep your feet securely in place so you're good to go if you need to run to the ice cream truck. The cushioned faux-cork footbed is just the comfortable cherry on top!
Allbirds tree runners that are honestly a fan-favorite of the BuzzFeed Shopping team. Anyone who has worn them has claimed that there isn't a single sneaker in existence that can beat them in sheer comfort.
A pair of chunky Fila platform sneakers offering effortless style *and* a little lift. The thick rubber soles and extra padding will keep your tootsies safe even if someone accidentally steps on your foot on a crowded sidewalk.
Soludos lace-up espadrilles that are somehow super comfortable despite the 4-inch lift. Reviewers swear that these things are more lightweight and comfortable than normal high-heels thanks to the sturdy, jute-wrapped wedge.
BONUS: Dr. Frederick's Original Better Blister Bandages if you've been wearing shoes not featured on this list and suffered the consequences. The cushioned, water-resistant hydrocolloid bandages speed up the healing process while protecting blisters from further damage. The tapered edges mean you can wear them for a few days in a row without worrying about your new shoes rubbing them off.

The Young and the Restless spoilers: Victor's harsh punishment for Adam?
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Over the years, we've come to learn a few things about The Young and the Restless' Victor Newman (Eric Braeden). He's a shrewd businessman, able to hold a grudge longer than anyone in Genoa City, a masterful tactician when it comes to his enemies and he demands loyalty from his family. Unfortunately for his family members, loyalty and obedience are often synonymous terms in his book. Knowing what we know, we don't see Adam's (Mark Grossman) refusal to do his father's bidding at Newman Media ending well. Victor has told his youngest son several times now that he wants Adam to use Newman Media to publish attack pieces against Billy (Jason Thompson), painting the Abbott as incompetent and an imbecile, among other things. However, Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) has been in Adam's ear, telling him not to go after Billy. Call it guilt for cheating on Billy with Adam or a platonic love for Billy for helping bring her out of a dark time in her life, but Chelsea is adamant that Adam not use Newman Media to tear Billy down. So far, Adam has managed to stall his dad and honor Chelsea's request. That hasn't been easy, as Victor has been rather insistent and Billy has been poking Adam with insults. But before Victor left for Aristotle Dumas' party, he made one final demand of his son. Fast forward to The Young and the Restless episode airing on June 16, and Adam tells Chelsea that he won't do what Victor asked and will just face the consequences when The Mustache returns to Genoa City. We can't help but suspect that while Chelsea is proud of Adam, Victor will likely be furious. The Newman patriarch may even retaliate, and the father/son duo could again find themselves at odds. If we had to guess, there's a good chance that Victor fires Adam for the umpteenth time and puts someone else in charge as CEO of Newman Media. That would be a real shame, considering Adam worked so hard over the last two years to earn his father's trust and be welcomed back into the family business. But hey, Holden (Nathan Owens) is currently on the market for a job in Genoa City, so who's to say Holden can step into Adam's role? Even if Victor doesn't fire Adam completely, there's always a chance he demotes Adam to COO of Newman Media and gives Adam a boss. That could still be Holden, or perhaps he places Nick (Joshua Morrow) in the company's CEO chair. After all, with Victoria (Amelia Heinle) already as CEO of parent corporation Newman Enterprises and Victor far from retired, does Nick need to aid his sister? One thing we don't think Victor will do is kick Adam and Chelsea out of the other Newman Ranch. He's still a family man after all. However, Victor doesn't like it when people go rogue when he gives explicit instructions, so Adam should definitely brace himself. New episodes of The Young and the Restless air weekdays on CBS. Episodes become available to stream on Paramount Plus the next day.
