7 Pairs Of Comfortable And Stylish Sandals You Can Walk Miles In

What makes a sandal stylish is often a matter of taste and opinion. Comfort, however, generally depends on factors like materials, construction, flexibility and breathability. Experts consider those elements when sizing up women's sandals, and you should too, if you want a pair you can wear all day long that won’t cause blisters or inflame conditions like plantar fasciitis.
