If you’re pining for the perennially trendy waterproof Arizona slide from Birkenstock but don’t want to pony up $50, you might be happy to know that Target sells a dead ringer for the classic sandal and it’s only $10 a pop. These Neida slide sandals from Target’s Shade & Shore brand boast adjustable double straps, a slip-on design, and a slightly molded toebed for all-occasion comfort.

The sandal is also entirely made from EVA plastic, which is good news for anyone identifying as a poolside lounger, a beach bum, or a happy camper who’s looking for lightweight, fully waterproof footwear that’s easy to clean or wipe off after a water-related activity.

These medium-width Neida sandals, which come in seven joyous spring colorways in women’s sizes 6 through 11, have currently earned 4.3 out of 5 stars across 93 ratings from Target customers.

The affordable price tag may lead you to question if these sandals will actually provide the comfort and support you require. One reviewer named Cammi wrote: “Super comfy for being on my feet all day [with] preschoolers and if I get paint on them I can just wipe it off! My feet were killing me [with] other shoes.”

Shade & Shore slide sandals

Another reviewer named kcrow wrote: “These are good considering the price. They’re actually pretty comparable to the rubber Birks I have. I wouldn’t wear these all day, but they’re comfortable enough to casually wear around the house.”

Several reviewers advise sizing down if you wear a half size since the medium width actually provides enough room for the foot to snuggle in comfortably.

We would absolutely pair the pink Neida sandals with a simple sundress for an outdoor BBQ, or with a bathing suit for your next resort getaway. At only $10 a pair, you can really step up your fashion game without having to try too hard.

HuffPost reader and mom of two Suz Gillies-Smith swears by these lined Crocs as a semi-frequent traveler.

"To minimize stress and get everyone through TSA as efficiently as possible, I wear a pair of fleece-lined Crocs. Stylish? Maybe not. Comfortable and secure enough to run through an airport with the straps down while pushing a stroller and carrying the baby because he was screaming in the stroller? Yes," she said.

This comfy shoe has a warm, fuzzy liner and an adjustable heel strap for a secure fit. It comes in women's sizes 6-12 and men's sizes 4-15.

HuffPost reader Brianna Yates said she has severe flat feet with zero arch, but found relief with the Hoka Clifton 8 sneaker that comes in a variety of colors.

"I wore Chacos and Birkenstocks most of my young adult life when I did a lot of traveling. We would walk for miles every day. I finally saw a podiatrist about my feet going numb after walking short distances, and they suggested Hokas. My feet are wide enough that women’s shoes don’t typically fit, even wide sizes, and the men’s wides fit perfectly. I’ve never had a shoe feel like a cloud and still give me the support I need!" she said.

Note: The Hoka Clifton 8 is low on inventory, but the Clifton 9 is similar in style and in stock in women's and men's sizes at Zappos.

If you thought actually supportive flip-flops don't exist, think again. These strappy shoes are favorites of HuffPost reader Melissa Byers. "They have a very sturdy and supportive foam sole with straps that, when adjusted down the foot towards your ankle, provide outstanding stability and long-wear comfort and prevent the typical foot fatigue from having to grasp flip flops," she said. "They require regular replacement if you rack up some mileage, but they're very affordable and come in a variety of colors. I have at least five pairs and they've seen me through full days at Disney World and walking tours of Washington, DC."

They come in multiple strap colors, including black, gray, blue and purple/pink in women's sizes 6-11.

Editor’s pick: These lightweight-but-supportive sneakers from Adidas are also renowned for their comfort — reviewers who spend a lot of time on their feet are especially vocal about their legendary bounce and cushion.

Promising review:
“I was looking for comfortable walking shoes for a trip this summer. I was blown away by how comfortable these shoes really are. It is like walking on clouds. I intended to wear them a couple of times to break them in but I've practically worn them every day since they were delivered. Breaking them in was so easy as well. No blisters at all! You do need to use the heel strap to get them on but doing so became easier each time. I really love these shoes.” — Clauders
