EVA IS BOTH SHOCK ABSORBING AND CUSHIONING

Even though sandals have gotten a bad rap for being blister-causing and ache-inducing, they don't have to be! The best walking sandals for women provide the support you need to log mile after mile on any kind of terrain, from cobblestone streets to nature trails. There are some unbelievably comfy sandals out there that cradle and cushion your feet like a dream — you just need to know what to look for.

To find a truly comfortable sandal, you need to pay attention to material: Foam is generally the most comfortable, according to Dr. Jacqueline Sutera, a New York City­–based podiatrist and board-certified foot surgeon, in an interview with Travel & Leisure. One of the most popular and effective foam materials on the market today is EVA, or ethel vinyl acetate, which is both shock-absorbing and cushioning. While EVA is a superstar when it comes to midsoles, you also can't go wrong with a patented foam material or a shoe made from yoga mats.
