Tell those sandals to hit the road and don’t come back no more (or at least until fall). With warm weather days upon us, it’s time to flaunt those beautiful piggies in a nice pair of sandals. But, before you go out and spend too much money, or too little money, on a pair of sandals that won’t work for you find out which sandals are the best fit based on foot and leg size. Nailing this means nailing your summer comfort and style. Take a look.
If you’re bothered with heel pain…
Go for sandals that have a deep-cushioned heel bed that will absorb the shock when you walk. This is important for protecting feet, knees and ankles.
If you have flat feet…
For feet that are flat like a duck, go for sandals that have memory-foam cushioning and support for weak or flat arches.
If you want height without compromising comfort…
Go for memory-foam wedges that will direct body weight away from the ball of the foot.
If you have wide calves…
Create an even balance with a ’70s-inspired platform. It will do wonders for helping you round your leg shape.
If you have thick ankles…
Your go-to sandal may be the stacked heels. They are pretty easy to walk in and will help to create an elongated look for the lower parts of your legs.
If you have skinny and straight legs…
Make those skinny legs look hot with a pair of flatforms. The chunky base will add the illusion of volume.
