We're in peak sandal season. The weather is H-O-T, and your feet prob need a breather from your sneakers and closed-toed shoes. But sandals can also mean straps that dig in, blisters around your toes, and minimal support. Well, my friends, the solution is here in the form of puffy sandals. That's right. With extra cushion and padding in the soles and in the straps, you'll find that these types of shoes are so much more comfortable than your run-of-the-mill sandals. They have all the benefits of a breathable style, mixed with the added plushness that'll make your feet feel like they have their own personal pillows to walk on.

Here, we rounded up 25 of the best puffy sandals out there, from easy slip-on silhouettes to flatforms to heels and everything in between. Now you'll actually be prepared for those dog days of summer spent walking for hours just to see where your plans take you. Keep scrolling below to see all the stylish and extra puffy sandals,
