17 Comfortable Summer Sandals Recommended By The Older Folks Who Actually Wear Them

Sandals are a necessary, yet finicky piece of footwear that are not always the easiest to find comfortable options. And if you’ve been lucky enough to enjoy the privilege of aging, things like adequate support and accommodating designs are important factors to consider when shoe shopping.

Rather than put yourself or a loved one through the trouble of trial and error, we figured we would jump ahead and ask self-described older people what their favorite sandals are and why.

We tapped both the HuffPost Life and Women Facebook groups to fill the following collection with tons of sandals for both men and women and for every need and price point. You’ll find stylish wedges that have earned podiatrist’s seal of approval, rugged sports sandals perfect for hiking or camping and even a pair of classic Birkenstocks , which happened to be the number one suggested sandal in our list.
