Wear new sandals around the house for short periods over several days before wearing them out. Apply moleskin or blister pads to friction-prone areas, and choose sandals with adjustable straps that let you customize the fit. MyWear can track the wear count of each pair so you know which sandals are fully broken in.

FAQ
Flip-flops are fine for the beach, pool, and very casual settings but generally look too informal for restaurants, shopping, and social events. Upgrade to leather slides or strappy flat sandals for a similar level of comfort with a more polished appearance.
Block-heel sandals in a neutral color like tan, black, or gold are comfortable enough for daytime and dressy enough for evenings. Wedge espadrilles are another great day-to-night option. MyWear's AI styling can suggest which shoes work across multiple planned outfits.
