We’re all beyond over the idea that beauty equals pain. Right? As a result, when it comes to fashion—footwear specifically—the style pendulum continues to shift toward shoes that are stylish and comfortable. You’ve likely noticed or currently partake in this change yourself, embracing the pain-free life with flatform sandals and forward sneakers.

But there’s a catch when it comes to the latter specifically. While it’s brilliant in theory to bop around in cool trainers as opposed to stilettos, there’s one seemingly comfy on-trend sneaker silhouette that may be the worst for your feet, causing long-term painful effects. And we went straight to the expert—Gotham Footcare founder Miguel Cunha—to weigh in further.

When chatting about footwear styles that should actually be avoided, he called out sock sneakers. “While they may feel comfortable snugging the top of your foot, they’re not advisable shoes because they provide no support to the top and outside of your foot, which can easily lead to an ankle sprain,” he explained. Woof.

But hope is not lost—there are still plenty of other sneaker styles out there that offer more stability and support. On that note, we’re showcasing some visual inspiration and a range of these picks below. And if you’re still all about sock sneakers and want to risk it, just be very, very careful.

Thanks to designer iterations from Amina Muaddi, The Attico, and Gia Borghini, flatform sandals are officially a staple among the fashion and celebrity crowds. But instead of sky-high platform soles or the sporty lug sole sandals we saw last summer, this season’s It sandals are all defined by a subtle platform of two or so inches that’s smooth and cushy for a subtle lift. 

Whether they’re delicate lace-up styles or ’90s-inspired flip-flops, sandals with a flatform sole are quickly outpacing all the other sandal trends we’ve seen and I’d even go so far as to say they’ll come to define summer 2022. While designers are leading the pack with their elevated takes on the trend, you don’t have to shell out a designer price tag to get in on the look since plenty of affordable retailers like Free People and Nordstrom are stocking cool flatforms, too.

Ahead, shop our favorite picks of this comfortable-cool sandal trend and see how fashion people are wearing them.
