Get your kicks this Prime Day with podiatrist-approved shoe steals up to 50% off

Three words to describe this pair? Stretchy, comfy and cushiony. Plus, the breathable upper fabric prevents feet from overheating, and adjustable laces mean a secure fit. They’re the quintessential everyday sneaker, thanks to their sock-like feel. 

Zaydenberg likes these for people with metatarsalgia (pain and inflammation in the ball of your foot) and bunion deformities, thanks to their wider toe box. While prices vary by size and color, you can get these kicks for as little as $48.

“I just got these for my new running shoes,” shared an Adidas fan. “They are perfect! I didn’t even need to break them in. No pain anywhere because they provide support where needed. I also love that they have a bit of a wider and flexible toe box. This allows for my toes to naturally grip when running.”

A variety of styles from New Balance’s Fresh Foam line have popped up on our “best” lists — we even named one the most comfortable women’s running shoe this year. However, it’s this particular pair that caught our eye for Prime Day at a nice 25% off. With 11 colors available, there’s a style (or two, or three) for everyone (prices vary).

Crafted for running and all-day wear, they’re made with a knit mesh upper and a durable rubber outsole that offers great traction. Meanwhile, the Fresh Foam X Midsole creates a cushioned and comfortable experience. 

“These shoes are very comfortable,” declared a happy Amazon shopper. “As a dental assistant, I’m up and down and running around all day. These shoes make my day more enjoyable by keeping my feet more comfortable. They are very light and I love how they look. Would recommend.”

Want some celeb-approved shoes? Both Kyle Richards and Jennifer Garner — who we constantly look to for style inspo — adore a good pair of Asics. And this top-selling pair is 25% off.

Asics is known and loved for reliability. The brand’s kicks consistently offer comfort, stability and durability, whatever the activity. These Gel-Venture 9s are made with gel shock absorption at the back to improve impact absorption and create a softer feeling at footstrike. There’s also the Amplifoam cushioning for a, you guessed it, more cushioned experience. 

Amazon customers agree with Kyle and Jen: “I have a very hard time finding shoes that fit me because I have a big and wide foot,” explained this Asics fan. This was a great fit and super comfortable. I love the color and the durability of the shoes. The stability is great, and it supports my foot because I have flat feet and it takes away my pain from my feet.”

These Adidas slip-ons routinely top Amazon bestseller lists, and for good reason: Not only are they sleek and stylish — they come in a ton of trendy colors and patterns — they’re comfortable for the entire foot. And $20 off doesn’t hurt either. 

Explains board-certified podiatrist Dr. Polina Zaydenberg, “The heel lift is great — it helps take the pressure off the posterior and the bottom part of the heel. The texture of the material doesn’t contribute to creating pressure in that part of the foot as well.”

“These Adidas are the perfect sneaker for me,” wrote one happy customer. “Very lightweight so running is a breeze. Comfortable almost memory-foam-like insole. Very stylish as well, can be worn as casual or activewear.”

These No. 1 bestselling slip-on sneaks are an unexpected celeb favorite (Martha Stewart is a fan!) and don’t often go on sale — so we suggest snapping them up now. The pillowy shoes have a lightweight cushioned midsole and a removable insole that’s podiatrist-certified, so you know you’ll get the support you need. Prices vary, depending on color (there are 27 of ’em!) and size. 

“These shoes are unbelievably comfortable,” raved a five-star reviewer. “I don’t wear any other brand of shoe. I even got my co-worker hooked on them. I can wear these on my daily walk and my feet never ache anymore. And there’s no ‘break-in’ time involved. You just take ’em out of the box, put them on and never experience any blisters or uncomfortable rubbing.”

Another pair of podiatrist-loved sneakers, these easy-breezy babies have dropped down to their all-time low price of $29. We even named them the best breathable option in our roundup of the best slip-on sneakers. 

Lightweight and flexible, these shoes are made with a mesh upper and have a wide toe box for an extra-roomy fit. They’re basically like wearing your favorite socks, but more supportive. The outsole has an air bubble — which Zaydenberg says is “a great shock absorber” — and the chunky rubber sole provides “plenty of cushioning.” The wide toe box accommodates bunions and hammertoes too. 

“I am a teacher with both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis,” a shopper noted. “I did not know it was possible to come home without foot and leg pain. I wear them every day and will not wear anything else. I have always taken my shoes off as soon as I get home, but I choose to keep these on because they fell better than barefoot.”

It’s a footwear truism: You can never go wrong with a pair of classic leather Reeboks — especially when they’re 56% off (and the lowest price they’ve ever been at Amazon). Available in this sleek navy blue and over 50 other colors/styles (prices vary), your tootsies will thrive in these sporty-chic shoes. 

Yahoo writer Britt Ross is a huge fan of her white pair and wore them all over Italy without even a blister. “They’re lightweight, have a cushy footbed and are versatile enough to wear with jeans, shorts, skirts or dresses,” she said. (Check out her glowing review here.)

Of course, she’s not the only fan; thousands of Amazon customers have given these a perfect five-star rating. “I am recovering from a broken ankle, and this shoe gives me the support I need to walk on that foot!” exclaimed one happy wearer. “Very pleased! Also, I like the look of the shoe!”

For cushy sneakers, these are as light and breezy as it gets. They have a breathable liner and a mesh upper to keep your tootsies nice and ventilated. That mesh also dries quickly in case you have a run-in with a puddle. The upper shell of the shoes has a low drop near the ankle, and the back top is soft and flexible. That means that if you’re prone to blisters, these could reduce the risk of having your ankles rubbed the wrong way.

These walking shoes also come equipped with a lightweight, compressed EVA foam insole, which absorbs the tiny shocks you’ll encounter as you go about your day and keeps your feet supported without weighing them down. On top of all that, the materials are 100% vegan.

“Loved these walking shoes/sneakers,” shared a satisfied shopper. “Walked 6-10 miles every day for a week, and they were so comfortable. Didn’t have to break them in before. Look great with jeans, skirts and sundresses. Considering buying another pair.”

Take a page out of Reese Witherspoon‘s style book this summer with these classic Tretorns. The award-winning actress/producer has been spotted wearing the sneakers for years, pairing them with everything from a feminine pink dress to white shorts and a navy sweater.

And why not? Rawlins are as comfortable as they are chic. Their sustainable, lightweight and moisture-wicking insole keeps things stable while the natural rubber outsole offers support and grip. Plus, how cute is that suede and leather combo? They deserve a spot in your closet next to your favorite sandals.

Reese isn’t alone in her devotion to these Tretorns; they’re also nurse-worthy, with one reporting: “These are so comfortable … and I’m on my feet all day!” Another Amazon fan shared that they’re “constantly getting compliments from everyone when I wear them. I can wear them with slacks or jeans and they make my outfit look super chic.”

Vejas are rarely marked down (if ever), no matter the style — so you’re going to want to pounce on these sneakers. Not only are they 25% off, they’re also the lowest price they’ve been in 30 days. 

Known for being sleek, comfy and chic, the European brand is beloved by both Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton (so, actual royalty). These Urcas in particular feature a classic round toe, a lining made from recycled polyester and a sole made of Amazonian rubber and rice waste. We’re also in love with the subtle metallic trim for that extra bit of shine. 

“I have been looking for white sneakers that didn’t make my size 10 feet look even bigger … these don’t!” shared a Vejas fan in their five-star review. “I wore them for eight hours the first time and they were very comfortable.”

These slip-ons have a solid rubber sole with an air cushion to put some extra pep in your step, plus a perforated arch that allows for ventilation and breathability while lending plenty of support. More than 25,000 Amazon shoppers rave about them, and podiatrists approve of them too. 

“Stability, or support, is probably the most important quality of a sneaker or any other shoe that someone will wear if they are to be on their feet for more than a few minutes at a time,” Richard H. Graves, a podiatrist with Sol Foot & Ankle Centers in Longwood, California, tells Yahoo. And these sneakers have support in spades.

“I saw these on a waitstaff person,” shared a rave reviewer. “I asked her about them and she said how much she loved them and wrote down the information to order on Amazon. I was excited when my order arrived. Sure enough, these are like putting on slippers. I could walk in these all day!”

On or off the court, these wide, roomy sneakers offer just the right mix of support and cushion. Available in 21 colors, from purple to peach to classic black, they just may become your favorite footwear. And right now, you can get a pair of these podiatrist-approved shoes for half off.

Akks are serious superstars, with nearly 15,000 five-star reviews on Amazon. “They’re accommodative, meaning they allow the foot and the ankle to move in most any direction that weight-bearing permits,” Dr. Rock G. Positano, director of the Nonsurgical Foot and Ankle Service at the Joe DiMaggio Heel Pain Center at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City, told Yahoo.

“I am not one to post reviews usually, however, this shoe has exceeded every expectation I could possibly ask for,” shared this Amazon fan in their testimonial. “Lightweight, super supportive, slight incline on my hill, cushiony … all the things! I have bought every style/name-brand shoe in the books, at all price points, and this one is the absolute best.”

Ugg makes more than just great boots, and these supremely cloud-like slippers are proof. Unlike sandal styles, these Uggs cover your entire foot, meaning they’re far less likely to fly off while you’re scurrying around the house. Plus, those other styles don’t offer much warmth for your poor little exposed toes, whereas these provide fluffy wool insulation from your piggies to your heels.

Another plus? Their rubber outsoles help prevent slipping on slick floors, and some reviewers even say they wear them outside for quick tasks like checking the mail.

“I love the style of this slipper,” shared one reviewer. “My feet are always freezing and these are the warmest slippers I have ever owned. They’re comfy too.”

A pair of mega-popular slippers for only $10? Um, yes. They come with an anti-skid sole so you can wear them inside and outside and a high-density footbed for supreme comfort. Honestly, this deal is so good that you might as well stock up on multiple colors for yourself and as holiday gifts for your friends, family, neighbors and any random person you pass on the street. 

“I wear these constantly in my home,” described this five-star reviewer and recent slipper convert. “I put them on in the morning and they stay on until I retire to bed. They fit comfortably, they are super soft and warm. They slide on effortlessly and have a durable bottom that offers great support. I absolutely love them. 10/10 would recommend.”

Reminder: Crocs aren’t just for summer. The iconic clogs also come lined with the fuzziest of faux fur. Unlike regular Crocs, these will keep your tootsies warm in the winter, whether you’re lounging around the house or running errands. However, they still feature the same soft rubber construction and arch-supporting, shock-absorbing soles as the classics. 

At 30% off, these guys are a total steal (and the lowest price they’ve been since the summer). Think about it: You’re getting both a house slipper and Croc in one — we love a good 2-in-1 deal.

“I have been wearing them a ton as I work from home,” wrote this happy five-star reviewer. “It’s nice to have the option of not using the ankle strap for quick walks. I haven’t washed them yet, but what a great feature to have.” The same reviewer also notes that the slippers “provide great support” when using the ankle strap.
