Keeping Your Comfortable Sandals in Excellent Condition

Protection, proper storage, and shoe fillers are essential if you want to keep your comfortable sandals in good condition and ensure lasting style and support.

From days out with your family to running errands and busy workdays, your footwear will be exposed to the drying effect of the sun. To preserve the supple feel and look of leather straps and other materials, invest in a leather-protecting product like a conditioning cream to maintain their luxe finish.

You must also have sufficient storage space for your comfortable sandals. Stacking them together would affect their shape, form, and feel.

Keep your shoe cabinet away from direct sunlight, ensure there's space between each pair, and use shoe fillers to retain the original shape of your footwear.

Fillers also absorb moisture which is common during warmer weather and could damage your sandals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What features should I look for in comfortable sandals?

The most comfortable sandals should include a cushioned footbed, built-in arch support, secure straps that prevent sliding, shock-absorbing midsoles, and quality materials that mold to your foot shape.

Adjustable straps are particularly valuable for achieving a custom fit, especially for those with wide feet or narrow feet.

Are expensive sandals always more comfortable?

Not necessarily. While premium materials and construction often contribute to comfort, price doesn't always correlate directly with how a sandal will feel on your specific feet. The most important factors are proper arch support, cushioning appropriate for your needs, and a design that works with your unique foot shape.

That said, extremely cheap sandals typically lack the supportive features found in moderately priced and premium options.

How do I know if sandals have good arch support?

Look for sandals with visible contours in the footbed rather than completely flat designs. Quality arch support will follow the natural curve of your foot, with the highest point supporting the middle of your arch.

wf1tr2wtThe footbed should also have a slight heel cup to stabilize your heel and a metatarsal ridge to support the ball of your foot. When trying sandals on, you should feel gentle pressure supporting your arch without any painful pressure points.

Can comfortable sandals help with foot pain?

Yes, properly designed comfortable sandals can significantly reduce or prevent many types of foot pain. Sandals with good arch support help distribute pressure evenly across your foot, reducing strain on problem areas.

Cushioned footbeds absorb shock that would otherwise impact your joints, while secure strap systems prevent sliding and toe gripping that can lead to fatigue. For specific foot conditions, consult a podiatrist for personalized recommendations.

How should comfortable sandals fit?

The most comfortable sandals should cradle your foot securely without pinching or rubbing. Your heel should sit firmly in the heel cup without hanging over the edge, and your toes should have room to spread naturally without extending beyond the front edge.

Straps should hold your foot in place without digging into skin—you should be able to slip one finger under straps comfortably. Remember that leather sandals will stretch slightly with wear, so they should be snug but not painful when new.

How long should good sandals last?

Quality comfortable sandals should last between 2-5 years with proper care, depending on frequency of wear and conditions.

Premium leather sandals from brands like Eric Javits typically last longer than synthetic options, especially when protected from extreme heat and moisture and stored properly during off-seasons.

Investing in higher quality sandals often provides better value over time due to their longevity and continued comfort.
