11 Stylish Sandals From Amazon That Are a Steal — All Under $50
Sandals and summer go hand-in-hand, just like ice cream and beach days, or, since we're talking fashion, flowy dresses and bikinis. But buying new ones yearly —or even replacing worn-out pairs — can get expensive. We know you already know that, which is probably why you're here, checking out our guide to the best sandals Amazon has to offer. The retailer is one of our favorite places to find shoes of all kinds (heels! Sneakers! Even designer shoes!) when we're in a pinch and need that two-day shipping, or when we want to cut back on spending and get savvy.
Ahead, we've rounded up the 11 best pairs of sandals from Amazon for summer. We scoured the brand's bestselling sandals page to find the ones that will serve you best, from strappy sandals and braided styles to waterproof pillow slides and a block-heeled option for those who like a little extra height. We included a range of prices too, starting at $14 and capping at $30. Keep scrolling to shop our selects.
Best Thong Sandal
Amazon Essentials Women's Thong Sandal ($14, originally $15)
If you're looking for a classic pair of thong sandals that cost less than some people's Starbucks orders, these are a must have. They come in several colors, but we're big fans of this black faux leather pair because they'll complement everything in your wardrobe.
Best Flip-Flops
KuaiLu Flip Flops ($16, originally $20)
As much as we love a classic pair of Old Navy flip-flops, this bestselling pair on Amazon is a more elevated take on the look. Thousands of people have described them as equal parts comfortable and stylish.
Best Gladiator Sandals
Dream Pairs Elastic Ankle Strap Flat Sandals ($20, originally $31)
These gladiator sandals have elastic straps that are comfortable on your feet, which isn't always the case with faux or genuine leather versions of the style. They're lightweight and timeless, perfect for pairing with everything from summer dresses to shorts and tees.
Best Ankle Strap Sandals
Dream Pairs Ankle Strap Sandals ($21, originally $27)
Don't these ankle strap sandals look like they should cost more than $21? Shoppers agree. One person who gave them a five-star review wrote, "They look more expensive than they are and are comfortable and don't rub or cause blisters."
Best Strappy Sandals
Amazon Essentials Women's Casual Strappy Sandal ($24)
Amazon Essentials never disappoints with its selection of great basics, and these strappy sandals are no exception. They come in a bunch of different colors and can land on your doorstep as fast as a day or less with Prime.
Best Faux Leather Sandals
FITORY Women's Flat Sandals ($27, originally $46)
As one reviewer put it, these sandals are "resort-chic." They feature a cushioned insole and a faux leather crossband design, and they come in a handful of neutral colors. If you prefer a different style or want a second pair, they also come in an interlocking upper design ($20, originally $46).

Best Pillow Slides
Cushionaire Women's Feather Cloud Recovery Slide Sandals with +Comfort ($25, originally $40)
Pillow slides are ideal for beach or pool days because they're made of waterproof EVA, a super cushy plastic material. But these comfy sandals have won fans for all kinds of activities. As one happy shopper put it, "These are the most comfortable slides I've had in years," a sentiment echoed by countless others.
Best Braided Sandals
Dream Pairs Square Open Toe Slide Sandals ($25, originally $32)
How cute are these braided strap square-toe sandals? They come in neutral colors for all you minimalists, as well as a hot pink hue for those who love a bold statement.
Best Block-Heeled Sandals
Soda Lug-Sole Block-Heeled Sandals ($27, originally $30)
Sandals aren't just for flats, and this pair will have your back for countless occasions this summer. They come in monochrome versions like this all-black pair, as well as fun duo-tone versions like this beige and white pair ($40).
Best Designer Dupe
Rihero Dressy Flat Sandals Comfortable Slip On Leather Slide Sandals ($30, originally $34)
You've probably seen these sandals before, whether it's this pair or the $760 designer version. The beauty is that onlookers likely won't be able to tell the difference, as attested by many Amazon shoppers who have purchased them.
Best Cork Sandals
CUSHIONAIRE Women's Lane Cork Footbed Sandal With +Comfort ($30, originally $50)
These shoes take the No. 1 spot among all of Amazon's sandals. (Yes, every single pair!) More than 1,000 shoppers have compared them to the more expensive version, praising their similar features, from the contoured cork footbeds to the buckled design.
