Amazon Prime Day, an event created by Amazon, is here just in time for summer. With the season in full swing, there are BBQs, graduation parties, hikes, beach vacations and more events to attend. All of these occasions require you to be on your feet, and maybe do some dancing if you feel like it, so you will definitely need a comfortable pair of shoes to take with you.
Luckily, I found Prime Day deals on summer shoes that are as high as 62% off. Between sandals, sneakers, slides and more, we dug deep into our footwear archives (I personally own 77 pairs of shoes ... yikes) to find the best shoe deals that’ll be your new go-to pair for the summer. Plus, you’ll see a few winners on our Shop TODAY Award winners, too.
The best Amazon Prime Day shoe deals
Havaianas have been a staple beach shoe since 1962 and have made a resurgence this season. They’re universally beloved for their price and comfort. I've [Shigo] owned many pairs, myself!
Go from the beach to dinner in these stylish flip flops. They have extra cushioning so your feet will feel supported, as well as added tread so you won't slip in them if you get them wet, per the brand. The thicker sole is great for rougher terrain than just the beach.
These rubber two-strap sandals are also great for the beach because they are lightweight, so you can just throw them in your beach bag or suitcase without having to worry about the extra weight. I have a pair of these and wear them as my designated 'house shoe' in the summer.
These classic sandals were awarded “best flip-flops” during our Shop TODAY Travel Awards. “Even though they don’t appear to have any arch support, the memory foam-like footbed makes them surprisingly comfortable to walk around in,” says associate editor Lauren Witonsky.
These criss-cross sandals are an upscale summer sandal option for casual events like dinners or parties. The open-toe would look great with a fun nail color that matches your outfit.
At first glance, you wouldn’t think these stylish sandals were Crocs. They have the look of a chic summer sandal but the comfort of the iconic Crocs brand.
ICYMI: Clogs have been trending in recent years, in good part for the comfort they offer. This suede pair is another great slip-on-and-go shoe. The footbed on these will also mold to your feet, per the brand, so you will feel more comfortable the more you wear them.
This pair of flip flops from Clarks is unique because the strap actually features velcro, so you can rest assured that they'll fit right and won't slip off. If you are doing a lot of walking, these are a great pick because the brand says they offer shock absorption. One reviewer says, "The sole is very cushiony and comfortable. The straps across the foot are adjustable with velcro, but very nicely hidden."
If the rubber version of this style isn't for you, try out this suede pair. They have a cork footbed, so the more you wear them, the more comfortable they will get as they mold to your feet, says the brand. Did we mention suede has been a hot style for spring/summer?!
Cushionaire is a Shop TODAY-loved brand that always keeps up with the latest trends while staying comfortable and affordable. These jelly flats are the perfect summer shoe to wear to work, the beach and more.
This funky sandal from Skechers is designed with an angled footbed to add more comfort and plenty of straps to keep your feet in place as you hike or walk. If you get them dirty, don't fret: They're machine washable!
It doesn’t get more summer than Crocs! This mint green pair is a trendy addition to add to your summer wardrobe, and they are so easy to clean off with a hose or wipe.
Sometimes you want a sneaker you can just slip on at a moment’s notice. This pair from Skechers is that pair. The all-white shoe has a retro look and is on-trend with the slimmer sneakers we have been seeing this spring.
The brand says these sandals have “cloud-like comfort,” and our testers agree; they won “best overall sandals” during our Travel Awards. Score them now while they’re 50% off.
For long walking days (or running days), this pair of sneakers from Adidas is your best bet. One reviewer raved about their comfort after sporting them "all day to an event where I had a lot of walking to do on my first time wearing these."
This sneaker is designed to move with you, so you won't feel the fabric pulling at your ankles as you walk. The design is very on-trend with the added color strip. Pair them with a dress or jeans for a comfortable and casual look.
Editor Evan Siegel says these slip-on sneakers are “super comfortable” and “perfect for long walks.” During Prime Day, they’re an impressive 51% off.
Save nearly 30% off these Nike running shoes, which reviewers say have great arch support and help with plantar fasciitis.
If you're going on a hike that requires some time spent in wet areas, these shoes are the ones to get you through that hike safely and comfortably. I grew up wearing these shoes in creeks, rivers and now on hikes. The footbed is so comfortable and the elastic straps really feel secure without limiting your mobility.
How we chose
We meticulously combed through one million deals during Amazon Prime Day 2026 to determine the absolute best Prime Day shoe deals, identifying expert recommendations from previous reporting on Shop TODAY, products previously featured on the TODAY Show and staff-tested award winners and Ranked winners. We also considered factors like a high average rating (of over four stars), the amount of verified shopper ratings (over 1,000) and specific user feedback. From there, we fact-checked deals through price trackers like CamelCamelCamel to ensure that they’re at their lowest price in at least three months (or, in some instances, their lowest price ever).
As an editorial team, we independently create content and determine coverage based on research, reporting and what we think TODAY.com readers would like to read about. The goal of our content is to provide a service and inform readers who are on the hunt for the latest products to help make their life better. Items are sold by retailer, not TODAY.
