Sculpted edges give the sandals a modern, luxurious look, while the mesh zig zag strap offers comfort and flexibility.

They\u2019re even finished with a lattice grid traction pattern for added grip. <em>And<\/em> they\u2019re incredibly lightweight, without feeling flimsy or unsupportive. With specs like these, it\u2019s no wonder why the Zig Zag Slides got the podiatrist seal of approval, too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe [TechLoom] material provides cushioning and arch support, which helps alleviate foot pain and strain,\u201d says Dr. Alvarez of the APL slides. I work from my standing desk on most days, and the Zig Zag Slides have slowly become my go-to \u201cwriting sandals,\u201d seeing me through long periods of standing without causing my feet to get sore. They\u2019ve also become my new dog-walking sandals, my quick errands-sandals, my bop-around-the-house sandals\u2026you get the idea. \u201cThe midsole\/outsole is designed to provide excellent cushioning and rebound, offering superior comfort every time,\u201d explains Dr. Alvarez of APL\u2019s Propelium compound.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, the slides&#8217; molded footbed is covered in an antimicrobial mesh to enhance breathability and keep feet feeling fresh. \u201cThe mesh lining allows feet to breathe, helping to keep them cool and dry in warm weather,\u201d says Dr. Alvarez. And as a Miami resident\u2014where the heat and humidity are <em>constant<\/em>\u2014I can proudly co-sign this, as clammy feet are (thankfully) not a concern with the APL Zig Zag Slides. The featherlight design makes them super easy on feet, too. \u201cLighter sandals add to comfort when wearing for longer periods of time, as well as diminish blister formation or skin irritation,\u201d explains podiatrist Nelya Lobkova, DPM of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stepupfootcare.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.stepupfootcare.com\/\">Step Up Footcare<\/a>, which explains why I experienced zero blisters (a rarity for any new pair of shoes\/sandals) wearing them straight out of the box.<\/p>\n<p>And just like that\u2026The APL Zig Zag Slides became my go-to spring and summer sandal\u2014with their versatile look and super comfortable design being well worth the $150 price tag.
