Comfortable Sandals for Women with Problem Feet

Not everyone can wear stilettos and high heels all day long! They are pretty and all, but let’s face it, most of them are pretty darn uncomfortable! Don’t worry, there are comfortable shoes in the world. You just have to know where to look.

When I was pregnant, my feet grew (swelled) almost a whole shoe size and none of my shoes fit. I pretty much lived in flip flops for my entire pregnancy because it was the only thing that would fit on my poor, fat feet. They weren’t very comfortable though, nor did they provide any support. Pregnancy does a lot to your body and wearing comfortable shoes or sandals during that time is quite important.

Pregnancy isn’t the only time comfortable shoes are a requirement. If you have young children you need to chase around all day, chances are you opt for comfortable sandals during the summer. And yet if your kids are all grown up and you are over 40, you probably have trouble feet and can’t wear those pumps anymore anyway.

Whether you suffer from diabetes or just have problem feet with issues like corns, bunions, custom orthotics or have recently had foot surgery, you need a comfortable pair of sandals you can wear all summer long. We found JUST the pair!

My Review:

DiabeticShoesHub.com specializes in offering a wide selection of comfortable footwear for people with problem feet. I had the opportunity to review the Drew Milan Sandals and I found these shoes to be supremely comfortable. Not something I would wear everyday because they aren’t the most fashionable shoes in the universe, but if you are looking for comfort, support, ability to adjust and customize the fit as well as narrow and wide widths, then these are an ideal pair.

The casual style makes them versatile and easy to wear with anything in your wardrobe. The other day I wore them with my leopard print jeans rolled up, a white tank and a chambray button down shirt. I wore them all day and was amazed that I completely forgot they were even on my feet! I definitely recommend these sandals to anyone who is looking for supreme comfort this summer.

Sperry Boat Shoes

It took me three days of continuous wear to break them in, first day with thin socks. Now, they are super comfortable and I wear them all the time. I slip them on to run outside and hang laundry, I put them on to run to the store, or I put together a cute outfit to go with them, like the outfit above.

The Must-Have Item for All Sock-Free Shoes

With “barefoot style” shoes like oxfords and boat shoes being all the rage this season, you will definitely need a pair of Sock-Free Saviors from Foot Petals.

Sock-Free Saviors from Foot Petals
($18.95 per pair from Zappos.com)

Tired of wearing socks with those low profile skimmers, flats, and sneakers and having them obnoxiously stick out in an annoying fashion? Ditch the socks and slip these Foot Petals® sock-free saviors into your favorite shoes for instant foot protection! You’ll be able to wear your favorite shoes and feel great at the same time! And honestly, isn’t that every gal’s dream come true?

Well it certainly is! You can’t always wear “fashionable socks” or ankle socks with every style of shoe. Some styles just call for bare feet like Sperry’s and flats.

Sock-Free Saviors have a DRI comfort moisture management system that is built into the terry cloth padding that keeps feet cool and dry all day long while the PORON® cushioning absorbs shock making these ideal for any pair of shoes that you wear often.

The amazing Microban anti-microbial protection in these shoe liners doesn’t rub, wear, or wash away AND they fits all types of closed-toes shoes. If they get dirty, just gently hand wash in cold water with mild detergent and dry flat. Best of all, Foot Petal products are proudly made in the U.S.A. Score!!!

Here are a couple of pairs I’m wearing sock-free saviors in right now…

I really had a great time searching for the best designer deals they had to offer and I really couldn’t believe some of the things I found! Check out the Current/Elliott jeans I found on the sale rack for $39! If they were my size, I definitely would have taken those babies home with me.

Here is what I bought…

FLORALS: I found the best of both worlds with this top. It’s a beautiful floral pattern AND a peplum style top. Originally $16.99 – got it on sale for $7.00.

Mommy & Me Ballet Flats from Yosi Samra

This Mother’s Day, you and your daughter(s) can both rock your favorite Yosi Samra ballet flats! The classic, colorful and super comfortable fold-up flats are a favorite of celebs like Tiffani Thiessen and her daughter Harper Renn Smith as well as Sarah Jessica Parker and her twins Marion & Tabitha, and Jessica Alba and daughter Honor Warren.

Yosi Samra Flats

They are SO cute! Not only that, they are probably the most comfortable ballet flats…er… actually they are pretty much the most comfortable shoes I own. Period!

My daughter LOVES her pair and wants to wear them all the time. I was very happy to find a pair of ballet flats for her that not only stay on her feet but don’t give her blisters. These flats are definitely a win all around.

The flats retail from $44 to $55 for kids (toddler – teen sizes) and $66 to $88 for women, making them the perfect Mother’s Day gift if your budget is under $100!

I found that the women’s shoes run true to size, but some of the children’s styles run small. Call the company at 646-837-7914 before ordering to double check since it’s almost Mother’s Day and you wouldn’t have time to exchange them!


You can find Yosi Samra flats at Shopbop, INTERMIX, Scoop and online at www.yosisamra.com.
