Better than barefoot
Article Abstract:
Walking sandals offer the comfort and support of sneakers, with the look of a sandal. They are perfect for spring and summer, when the extra air-conditioning is needed. Consumers should look for cushioned, adjustable straps, a sculpted footbed, a flexible midsole, good traction, and possibly, water resistance. The 6 recommended sandals are the Teva Circuit, Rockport Jack Cracker XCS, L.L. Bean Walking Sandals, Timberland TMT Trail Sandal, Nike Air Deschutz, and Birkenstock Colorado.
