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 — and you're not especially eager to put them away just yet. While I love freeing my feet, many sandals and flip-flops don't offer a whole lot of cushioning 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 $13.
Spare yourself a trip to the salon and give your hair a sleek blowout via this No. 1 bestselling hot air brush. Now you can style while you dry, which saves precious time on hectic mornings. Whether you want to straighten and smooth your hair, add some waves or just amp up the volume, this multitasker does it all — and it's on sale for just about as low as it's ever been this year.
"I am 60 years old, I have never in my entire life been able to do anything with my straight-on-top, curly-on-the-bottom, thinning hair," shared a reviewer. "Well, after buying every tool and styling gadget on the market, I gave this dryer brush a try. It’s a miracle; my first try, and I have a salon style from my own bathroom! It’s so full and healthy-looking and pretty, and I feel so amazing personally! It’s not at all heavy; it is noisy, but it is just an amazing thing."
These sleek slides come in a variety of colors, including classic black, pretty pink (pictured) and lovely lavender. Prices vary based on your selection.
These recovery slides are a great value — plus, they're even more affordable now than they were during Prime Day. They regularly cost $30, but they're currently 40% off. Plus, Amazon is offering a rare double discount — when you check the on-page coupon, you'll get an extra 30% off.
Additionally, many reviewers say these flip-flops are right in step with pricier 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 8,500 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 a happy traveler, with a caveat: "[They] did rub a little bit on the inside edge, so I suggest acclimating before depending on them."
