Wirecutter - The best (good-looking) water shoes

Plus: How to shop for a bra, patio umbrellas, and more.

The best water shoes that actually look good

Water shoes are absolutely necessary when you’re in the water and need your feet to have some grip and be protected. They’re ideal for activities like hiking up rock-filled rivers or clambering over jagged tide pools. But they’re also useful for times when you simply might want a bit more support and comfort than going barefoot, like when you’re strolling on a pebbly beach. Water shoes are not known for their style, but we found several pairs that are good-looking enough to also wear on dry land.

New picks

Online therapy services

After an additional round of testing, we’ve added Teladoc to our guide to the best online therapy services. It offers 45-minute sessions for $99—the most affordable out-of-pocket costs among our picks. Plus, at the time of writing, Teladoc had over 100 more therapists to choose from nationwide than Amwell. However, the site and corresponding phone app are slightly buggy, and Teladoc’s video platform doesn’t allow you to hide your view of your face on the screen. Like Amwell, Teladoc accepts some insurance. Read more in our updated guide.

The best patio umbrella and stand

If you need some shade to make outdoor dining or lounging more comfortable, a patio umbrella is the easiest and cheapest solution.

Q&A: How a boob expert shops for bras

We spoke with Leslie Lehr, author of A Boob’s Life: How America’s Obsession Shaped Me … and You, about changing breasts and shopping for bras.

The best foam rollers

A good foam roller can (almost) do the job of a masseuse. By targeting muscle groups and using both gravity and friction, you can effectively break up and ease out tight tissue.

How to organize your fridge

A few clear bins, painter’s tape, and a Sharpie can keep chaos out of your fridge.

RARE DEAL

Logitech HD Webcam C615

If you want to spend as little as possible on a decent webcam, we recommend the Logitech HD Webcam C615. It’s Logitech’s least-expensive 1080p webcam. It’s also the best cheap option we’ve found that will capture better video quality than the built-in cameras on many computers. This is the first notable discount we’ve seen on this item in the past two years.

Toshiba Microwave ML2-EM25PAE

Deal price: $80 | Street price: $90

If your countertops are a little tight on space, or you want to save some money, this microwave is a slightly smaller version of our go-to pick. It works well and has most of the same great features, including several express-cooking options. This smaller model was actually our main pick for a while, and we changed it only because more people seem to want a slightly bigger microwave.
