Are you in the market for comfy, well-made, high-quality sandals that you can wear every day in the summer? Sandals are an essential fashion choice that you can wear with shorts, jeans, dresses, and even bathing suits at the beach. But how do you choose a good pair of sandals that'll keep your feet fresh and light? There are a few factors that can help you decide if the sandals you like are actually good for you.

In this guide, we'll help you choose the most comfortable sandals for you, so you can give your feet the best arch support and style this summer.

Why Are Comfortable Sandals Important for Summer

Comfort is essential when choosing summer sandals, especially if you spend most of your day standing or walking. Wearing the right footwear can help reduce back and knee pain and improve blood circulation. Also, a comfortable pair of sandals will help relieve pressure off your feet and give you a lighter step.

So how do you know if a sandal will be comfortable? Let's take one of Kwame Baah's models as an example: the Obapapa Step It up Kente Hand-Woven Sandal. We make our sandals with the ultimate goal of comfort in mind. We use soft cloth and leather for the straps and soft ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) for the sole. The combination of these two materials, paired with great arch support guarantees comfort for your feet. When the leather stretches to the shape of your feet, you'll feel free and light in your step.

How To Choose the Best Sandals for You

When looking for comfortable womens sandals, it's important to know what exactly you're looking for. Do you want a flat sandal or prefer a little wedge? Do you want a colorful sandal or want a more neutral color? Do you stand or walk a lot during the day or spend more time sitting? Do your feet like something between the toes, straps around the outside, or both?

These are all questions to answer to help you choose the best pair of sandals for you. It's also important to choose the right size so your sandals fit you perfectly and are your style so you feel confident whenever you wear them.

What To Look For in a Pair of Sandals

You want to wear cute summer sandals that go with your entire wardrobe and are great for most occasions, but how do you find the best pair? The first thing to look for in new sandals is comfort. No matter how cute the sandal is, it’s not worth anything if you just want to get it off because it hurts your foot! When the sandal fits your foot perfectly and provides sturdy, comforting support, it's a sign of a quality sandal.

Your size also plays a role here. For example, at Kwame Baah, we will recommend going up half a size for some models or tell you if the model runs true to size. This is because we want our sandals to be comfortable for you so you can go about your day worry-free and pain-free.

If you're not sure which size to pick, try on two different sizes on each foot. Walk around the room or the store and see which sandal fits and feels more comfortable. Depending on the material, the sandals may stretch with wear but your feet may swell a little in summer from the heat so choosing the right size is important.

Finally, see how the footbed is made. Is it completely flat and with no support? If there's arch support, this means your entire foot will carry the weight of your body. If not, this weight may all go to the heel or the ball of the foot, resulting in discomfort and even pain. Make sure the sandal straps are made of sturdy materials so they can support the foot and not let it slip off or become loose.

Trendy Ways To Wear Summer Sandals

A good pair of sandals should go with most of the clothes you have in your wardrobe. When you don't know what to wear on a hot summer day, dresses are the best choice. They go great with a pair of comfortable dress sandals. Find your favorite dress, put on your sandals, add some accessories, and you're good to go.

You can also easily wear sandals with jeans, pants, maxi dresses, shorts, and skirts - the possibilities and fashion combos are endless! We recommend our Kwame Baah Baduwaa Hand Braided Leather Sandal in black with beige straps. These are two neutral colors that go with any piece of clothing and almost any color. You can wear them to a beach wedding, a birthday celebration, parties, day events, and for running errands.

How To Take Care of Your Sandals

If you want your sandals to look pristine every summer, you need to take care of them properly and clean them regularly. After each wear, wipe your sandals with a soft cloth to remove dust or dirt. Use wet wipes for more stubborn dirt or a wet cloth. Wipe the sole sides, the straps, and the inside of the sole. Let them dry and they'll be ready to wear again.

When summer is over and you want to pack your sandals away for the winter, give them a good wipe, and apply leather protector spray if your sandals are made of leather. You can also put newspaper in each sandal to help keep their shape. Put them in their original box and they'll be ready for next summer.
