Creaky Boomer Reference Alert: Don't hesitate; this 50%-plus Memorial Day markdown could be your 'last train to Clarksville.' (Amazon)
Get your toes ready, folks: Spring has definitely sprung and summer is just around the corner — along with the season of sandals and flip-flops. If you're looking for a great pair that combines style and comfort, the Breeze Sea Sandals from Clarks are definitely our faves. Their classic good looks and unbeatable price — starting at $24 (down from $55) — make them a superb choice. Not only do these sandals sport great form, but they also have a lot of praise from podiatrists for their foot-friendly function.
Available in over 40 colors and styles, these flip-flops are the no-pain, no-brainer companion your tootsies need for every season.
Stylish yet sturdy, these crowdpleasers have over 73,000 five-star ratings. They aren't just for the beach; feel free to step into them at home or before heading out for the day.
“Clarks offer a lot of support,” says Dr. Zaydenberg. “Most of the shoes have wider toe boxes, which helps prevent bunions, hammertoes and neuromas.” She also says Clarks are great for people with flat feet.
Arthritis sufferers are big fans, too: “Love them," reported an Amazon reviewer with "arthritis from my neck all the way down to my feet. They are the only shoes that I can wear, and they don't give out. You can't go wrong with these shoes."
Brighten and depuff your tired eyes fast with these gold eye patches. They're reportedly a favorite of Jessica Alba! Simply place a pair under your eyes, wait 15-20 minutes, and voila! Look like you actually got a full night of sleep for once.
"I have always had issues with dark circles under my eyes and my eyes getting puffy overnight. I slap these babies on for 15 minutes in the morning while diapering and dressing kids, rub in the extra moisture when I take them off, and there is a visible difference," said one wonderfully wry Amazon reviewer. "I go from under-the-bridge troll to troll who isn't quite embarrassed to leave the house without makeup on. Super easy to use, they're cool and feel nice first thing in the morning ... Definitely recommend."
I use this lightweight, exfoliating serum on my sensitive skin every single day, and it's one of the few products my medicine cabinet will never be without. Not only does it smooth out rough bumps and even out my skin tone, it's also dramatically reduced the appearance of my pores and absorbs in seconds, so it never feels heavy or sticky. Formulated with salicylic acid, it gently buffs away rough, flaky patches while clearing out pores, and I can safely say it's improved the look and feel of my skin more than any single product ever has. Oh, and it hardly ever goes on sale, so buy a bottle, or 12!
Since 1825, Clarks has been producing shoes that prioritize comfort, and with prices starting at $24 (that's over 50% off!), now's the time to snag this sandal. (Prices vary by size and color, with 35 choices available.) To add even more value, shoppers say you can wear them as house slippers or throughout the year.
“Clarks offer a lot of support,” says Dr. Polina Zaydenberg, who is board-certified by the American Board of Multiple Specialties in Podiatry in the Prevention and Treatment of Diabetic Foot Wounds and in Diabetic Footwear. “Most of the shoes have wider toe boxes, which helps prevent bunions, hammertoes and neuromas.” She also says Clarks are great for people with flat feet.
These sandals aren't just for the beach: They're also perfect for indoors and for everyday wear. They come in neutral colors like this subtle taupe and pewter, so you can wear them with pretty much anything. Or in bolds like this fiery red! Reviewers love how comfortable and cute they are, so much so that some people wear them all year round.
How many flip-flop-style sandals also offer support? Not many. But 66,000 shoppers swear by these.
"Absolute best flip-flops," gushed this gadabout. "These are the most comfortable, most durable sandals that I've ever worn. I've worn them on Caribbean and Mediterranean cruises, at Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando and in the summer at home at parks, beaches, stores and just about anywhere and everywhere. I love these flip-flops!"
“Love them," reported a reviewer with "Arthritis from my neck all the way down to my feet. They are the only shoes that I can wear, and they don't give out. You can't go wrong with these shoes."
"Classy-looking," one happy shopper wrote. “These sandals are beautiful and very comfortable. I love that you can dress up or dress down and still wear these!”
How does this wearer love Clarks? Let them count the ways: "I have flat feet and these sandals are comfortable for all-day wear. I like them so much, I order a new pair every year in the spring. The support is so much better than ordinary flip-flops and they look waaaay better! I keep a spare pair at our beach house. There is a tab on the top of the sandal that allows you to make them wider/narrower, depending on your needs. Highly recommend!"
"Even though the width is adjustable with Velcro, it is not wide enough, and I purposely purchased a larger size," one Bigfoot moaned.
"Wish they came in half sizes, but they don't," observed another. "I tried one pair down a size and one up a size and I liked the look as well as the fit of the sized-up one better."
"If I got a half-size up it would be perfect," echoed this shopper. "Very comfortable, though just need to break in the thong part to soften it up. Digs into the top of the foot a little on the edge."
