Best sandal: OOFOS Ooahh Slide Sandal
These ultra-cushioned slides provide a place of active recovery for your feet and joints. They’re safe to throw in the washing machine and have excellent shock absorption.
“This summer, I’ve seen OOFOS slides both piled up around people’s doorways and worn out by the waterfront. At the end of a long day wearing close-toed shoes, it’s a relief to step into some slides that let my feet breathe and feel remarkably cushioned. They have extremely soft, plush footbeds that are designed to aborb shock and relieve tension in your joints, so they work to protect more than just your feet.
The OOFOAM design helps cradle high arches and by contrast, their deep heel cups give you a stable platform to step on. People who tend to drag their feet in slides will find it impossible to do so in these, because the wide strap holds the sandal firmly in place as you walk.” — Gabrielle Chase, associate style editor
