Slide to the left ... slide to the right ... you'll be sliding in comfort all night, thanks to these oh-so-comfy slip-ons. (Amazon)(Amazon)
If you're anything like me, you broke out your sandals right after the spring thaw. While I love freeing my feet, many sandals and flip-flops don't offer a whole lot of cushion or support. Slapping your feet on the flat soles of so many summery shoes can be murder on your joints and lower back. Kinda defeats the whole carefree vibe we're going for, don't you think?
That's why orthotic recovery slides are a smart pick if you'd like to lighten up your footwear without compromising comfort — and Shevalues orthopedic sandals are the cream of the affordable crop. Right now, they start at an impulse-buy-worthy $14 when you apply the on-page coupon.
Yahoo readers and Amazon shoppers alike can't get enough of these supremely comfortable shorts, which feature an adjustable drawstring waist and, very conveniently, pockets. They're made from a soft cotton blend (the black, navy and light gray options are 100% cotton!), and reviewers of all ages have been singing their praises. They've rarely dipped lower than this all year.
Your morning hair routine is about to get a lot easier, thanks to this multitasking tool. It dries and styles all at the same time, meaning you won't have to juggle a brush in one hand and a blow dryer in the other; use it to give yourself a sleek, smooth blowout or wavy curls. At just $40 (70% off), it's far more affordable than the Dyson Airwrap.
Since we lose moisture and elasticity as we age, the humectant hyaluronic acid, an ingredient that binds to water, is key to any quality anti-aging skin care regimen. It can hold a whopping 1,000 times its weight in water.
You'd be hard-pressed to find a better hyaluronic acid serum than this award-winning version from Grace & Stella, especially while it's 50% off.
These sleek slides come in a variety of colors, including classic black, pretty pink (pictured) and lovely lavender. Prices vary based on your selection.
At just $14 in black (down from $30), these recovery slides are a great value — plus, they're even more affordable now than they were during Prime Day. Many reviewers say these flip-flops are right in step with Oofoos sandals, comfort-wise. Considering Oofoos retail for nearly $60, these are a steal!
If you're looking for dependable, comfortable slip-on sandals with arch support and an easy-care exterior, Shevalues slides are ideal. Made with nonslip vinyl acetate, they offer cloud-like comfort, not to mention extra nonskid protection. Their squishy EVA midsoles provide excellent shock absorption and cushioning, and their built-in arch support helps reduce stress on the feet, whether you're dealing with plantar fasciitis, arthritis or a long day on your feet.
Since they're waterproof, lightweight and comfy, they make great travel shoes too — whether you're at the beach, walking around town or just trying to get through the airport. If they get dirty or sandy, just rinse 'em off.
Over 8,000 Amazon reviewers have given Shevalues slides a five-star rating, with many praising the comfort and support, especially for those who struggle with foot pain.
"I like these much better than Oofoos," said one happy reviewer. "These [sandals are] supportive, comfortable, well-fitting and open — yet protective of your feet."
Another devotee wrote, "They are like walking on a cloud and they look pretty darn nice too. After wearing these as much as possible, it's hard to put on regular shoes anymore. I'm in my mid-70s with two knee replacements, so I know discomfort. Highly recommend!"
"The day they arrived, I put them on and did my errands for about three hours — and when I got home, realized my feet weren’t hurting," marveled a satisfied wearer. "They are soft and the bottoms are ridged so [they] have some grip. So pleased [I] went and ordered other colors so I can match up with my summer clothes!"
Travelers are also big fans: "I struggle with plantar fasciitis and wasn’t sure about ordering these, but I am very glad I did!" gushed one. "They are supportive and I have had no issues since purchasing — and I wear them every day! ... They are so lightweight; perfect for travel, even if just to wear around your hotel room."
Another adventurer added, "These sandals traveled to Kauai with me, and I wore them every single day. I have a sore spot on the ball of my foot that starts to ache after standing, and these were the only things that made it so I didn’t have the pain!"
A few reviewers caution against leaving these in the hot sun: "I'm on my second pair because of how comfortable and affordable these sandals are. However, after a day at the pool ... my first pair shrank in the sun compared to the new pair!"
"Wore these on a two-week trip to Japan. Saved my feet on those 8-10 mile days!" said one happy traveler, with a caveat: "[They] did rub a little bit on the inside edge, so I suggest acclimating before depending on them."
