Best Podiatrist-loved Shoe Deals Overall

New Balance 202 Slide Sandals

These New Balance sandals don’t just come from a podiatrist-approved brand, but they’re made with a lightweight, supportive footbed that’s perfect for beach days. The most notable feature is the convertible strap that takes the shoe from a slide to a sandal with a heel strap.

Dr. Scholl’s A Ok Sandals

You can add some style to your outfits when you throw on these gladiator-inspired sandals. Since the brand was founded by a podiatrist, the shoes come with foot-supporting qualities, like a flexible material that’ll move with your feet and a special insole technology for extra cushion.

New Balance Fresh Foam Roav Sneakers

When I tore a muscle in my foot from walking more than 10,000 steps a day in unsupportive shoes, my podiatrist told me to wear New Balance sneakers, and it led me to these walking shoes. They’re lightweight, plush, and have a foam heel that allowed me to wear them straight out of the box while staying blister- and pain-free.

Vionic Uptown Loafers

Vionic’s loafers have landed on Oprah’s Favorite Things list for three years in a row—and we can see why. The shoes are American Podiatric Medical Association-certified and have a special three-zone design within the insole that has arch support, helps support proper body alignment, and a deep heel cup for extra stability.

Skechers Slip-ins Summits Dazzling Haze Sneakers

More than 10,000 shoppers have rated these Skechers sneakers five stars, with one claiming they “can walk for hours in them.” They have a slip-in design that one traveler said makes going through airport security easier (since you don’t have to worry about tying your shoes). 

Chaco Lowdown Sandals

Chaco is another one of my favorite brands with APMA’s Seal of Approval. These sandals come with adjustable fabric straps that you can tighten for a more comfortable fit. They’re lightweight and flexible, making them easy to pack in your suitcase without taking up much space.

Saucony Integrity Wlk 3 Sneakers

These sneakers were made for walking, thanks to the special midsole that offers a light and springy feel. One Amazon reviewer wore them during a trip to Italy and said their feet felt great after being on them all day in the heat.

Vionic Rest Amber Sandals

Vionic’s sandals are trendy enough to dress up for a nice dinner or wine tour, and feature supportive qualities that won’t leave your feet aching. The soles are made with a soft fabric to help cushion your feet, as well as arch support and special foot alignment technology. One traveler called them the “most comfortable sandals” they’ve ever worn, and that they could walk across cobblestone in Venice and Greece in them.
