Before you head out shopping for a great pair of comfortably chic sandals this spring, there are a few things to keep in mind. 

• Look for sandals with a flexible or cork sole, or if you want a little height, try a cork wrapped wedge. These are sure to provide a stylish look and all day comfort.  
• Look for a cushioned insole. If you are going to be spending a lot of time in your shoes, then you definitely want to make sure they are going to be comfortable all day. A cushioned insole will help provide the right amount of relief to your feet.  
• Try a sandal with adjustable straps for the perfect fit.
