Big Labor Day savings are afoot with these podiatrist-approved Asics, Clarks and more

Available in over 40 colors and styles, these flip-flops are the no-pain, no-brainer companion your tootsies need for every season.

Lightweight and flexible, these shoes are made with a mesh upper and have a wide toe box for an extra-roomy fit.

Available in both regular and wide widths, these Asics are ultra-cushioned and feature a lug outsole that's a big help with traction — you can wear them on your next hike. Zaydenberg loves their excellent shock absorption and adds this: "The rocker bottom helps with propulsion."

"I have plantar fasciitis, and [these sneakers] were recommended by my podiatrist; [they] really helped a great deal," shared a happy Amazon reviewer.

If you value style and comfort equally, you'll love these classics. They're available in 12 fun shades, though we're partial to this pink pair. They're versatile too: Often seen on the feet of street style mavens and celebs, these look excellent far outside the gym — and they don't just have to be worn with leggings or sweats.

Of course, Zaydenberg likes these for the rocker bottom, as with the Asics above, plus she says they can be a good option for those with plantar fasciitis.

These low-tops are made with either a gorgeous full-grain leather or soft nubuck, plus the flexible sole uses Ecco's Fluidform technology to cushion your foot with each step. The matching laces add to the monochromatic cool of the style.

"The toe box looks accommodative, and they're supportive," says Zaydenberg. "Plus, leather and suede are natural materials, which is good for people with skin conditions as they don't promote sweat."

These sandals boast a flexible cork footbed and supple suede insole that contours to your foot with wear. See those adjustable straps? They're perfect for those with narrow or wide feet who need to customize their fit. Dr. Zaydenberg says they're a great pick for people with metatarsalgia (pain and inflammation in the ball of your foot) and plantar fasciitis.

"I bought these after my podiatrist recommended Birkenstock-style shoes," shared an Amazon shopper. "I only have a pair of regular-footbed Birkies to compare these to, but they are very similar in terms of the foot-shaped lining and arch support. They fit perfectly on my wide feet and did not hurt nearly as much to break in as real Birkies!"

We're calling it: Cushionaire Lane Cork Sandals are the shoe of summer 2024, so get in on the trend while you still can. These offer a flexible cork sole and soft suede footbed similar to Birkenstocks. With so many colors to choose from, you'll definitely want to grab a couple of pairs.

It's the straps that won over Zaydenberg. "They can accommodate any type of foot, even wide ones," she explains. "The sole is accommodative for those with metatarsalgia and heel spurs."

These sandals need no introduction: They have a fanbase of more than 21,000 five-star Amazon reviewers. A cork and latex footbed provides shock absorption, and there's extra arch support, a raised toe bar and an adjustable strap.

"The density of the sole is accommodative for people with arthralgia (joint pain), people with arthritic conditions and those with heel issues," Zaydenberg says.
