Love them or hate them the walking-style sandal is one of the biggest trends for summer 2020.

Sporty trekking-style sandals have been spotted on and off the runway with designer and high street brands releasing various interpretations of the Marmite shoe. Brands like Teva and Birkenstocks have released some of the most sought-after sandals of the season, with shopper praising them for their superior comfort. 

Offering technical support, these walking-style sandals provide durability, comfort and style making them a hugely popular choice for summer. No need to sacrifice your feet, we have found eight of the best sporty, walking-style sandals to invest in this season.

Skechers Women's On-The-go 600-Brilliancy-15316 Sport Sandal

With over 1,000 reviews on Amazon, the Sketchers Women's On-The-Go 600 Brilliancy Sport Sandal is a hugely popular choice for a comfortable walking shoe. 

The functional shoes have been designed purely for comfort. The cushioned footbed with memory retention helps absorb impact, while the sporty pique knit mesh fabric upper supports and offers flexibility. Lightweight, smooth and with padded heel strap, the budget-friendly sandal is there to support you on all your summer adventures. 

One happy customer on Amazon revealed that the shoes are also great if you have previous foot problems. They wrote in their review: 'Having recently experienced lots of heal pain (planter fiscia), these sandals have eliminated all pain. I feel like I'm walking on clouds! I will never ever again buy a pair of shoes that is not from Sketchers.'

Riemot Walking Sandals

If you love the popular Teva Arizona Sandals but are reluctant to pay over £50, the surprisingly chic Riemot sandals are a fantastic alternative.

Coming in at under £20, the sandals provide comfort and style for a fraction of the price.  Similar to the Teva shoes, they offer three points of hook-and-loop adjustable straps joined by three triangle-shape harnesses. 

With comfort yoga mat insoles for superior cushioning and anti-slip rubber soles, these shoes are ideal for hiking, outdoor activities this summer and even water aerobics. 

Scoring highly on style, price and comfort, they have received great reviews on Amazon. One delighted customer wrote: 'Perfect style & comfort. They are true to size & description. Not too hard or soft. Lightweight so it makes wearing them easy. I've worn them on planes & to the beach. Perfect, especially at the beach where they dried immediately.'  

Dune Kyoto White Outsole Comfort Flatform Sandals

Hot-foot it over to Dune where they are currently offering up to 30 per cent off many of their popular styles, including several walking-style sandals. 

The Dune Kyoto White Outsole Comfort Flatform Sandals are currently reduced to £56, saving you £24. Less technical looking than some, the Kyoto sandals offer a fashionable twist on the standard walking-style aesthetic. 

The soft caramel upper and straps rests on a contrasting flatform heel for a modern, stylish finish. Practical as well as attractive, the shoe's flatform heel allows for added height without the pain, so you can look and feel good this summer.

Teva Original Universal Sandals

No walking-style sandal round-up would be complete without a mention of Teva. The flatform and midform sandals have revolutionised the technical shoe, making it one of the most on-trend pieces for summer 2020. 

First created in 1984, the Original Universal Sandal is one of Teva's very first models and has stood the test of time thanks to its timeless comfort, utilitarian style and durability. Less bulky then some other walking-style sandals, its slim aesthetic has made the show a hugely popular choice. 

The sandal straps have been made from 100 per cent plastic bottles (saving four plastic bottles from ending up in landfills) and are quick-drying and highly durable, supporting you through whatever activity you want to try this summer. The EVA foam foot-bed also cushions your feet, giving you protection and support. Stylish and ridiculously comfortable, these are the ultimate summer 2020 shoes.
