10 Best Cloud Slides That Are Like Pillows for Achy Feet

Thanks to solid arch support, these top-of-the-line recovery slides have earned the APMA Seal of Acceptance. Available in over 10 basic colors, they have a cushy feel and the brand claims they can even be tossed in the washing machine for cleaning.

With more than 22,000 reviews on Amazon, these water-resistant comfort slides are a perennial favorite for runners, in particular. Many reviewers rave about the arch support and comfort, and say they're especially soothing if you're dealing with plantar fasciitis.

Like most cloud slides, these super-soft 1.57-inch slippers are made of Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA), a lightweight, waterproof foam that feels dense yet bouncy. With a molded footbed, these bath slides are perfect for keeping your feet off the funky floor at the gym or when walking around the pool — plus the grippy, non-slip soles offer nice cushioning. They're also easy to clean and come in more than a dozen colors.

These slides have a 1.7 inch deep sole, so they feel extra soft and spongy. Available in more than a dozen colors, some users say they aim a blow dryer at these shoes for a few minutes to mold them exactly to their feet before wearing. Reviewers say they're durable and very soft, but that they don't have good arch support compared to some other brands. Also, apparently, they tend to run a little large.

Available in more than 30 colors, these cloud slides are reasonably priced with a nice, pillowy top and decent shock absorption, according to Amazon reviewers.

The 1.75-inch sole is not as contoured as some, but reviewers say they're great for a few hours after work or beach day, if you don't have to walk far. With more than 30,000 reviews, they're one of the most popular choices for pillow slides on Amazon.

With deeply cupped footbeds and a soft sole, this slide — made by Crocs, a long-time manufacturer of easy-to-wear slip-on sandals and clogs — has a more streamlined appearance than some others. Available in more than 10 mostly neutral colors, reviewers say they offer good support, and the massage beads lining the footbeds offer extra foot pain relief. Just note that they run big, so you may want to size down.

These slides have a 1.6-inch-thick sole that Amazon reviewers love (especially those who say they have plantar fasciitis). They're lightweight, come in more than 18 colors and are a great slide to toss in your luggage for travel so you don't have to walk barefoot around your hotel room, in the shower, or poolside. With a grippy, textured sole, these quick-dry slides are a great choice for college students using communal showers, too.

These slides, which have earned the APMA Seal of Approval, are a great choice for unwinding after a tough workout or run. Available in more than 20 bright colors, these slides are lightweight and have plenty of airflow vents to help you cool down. Hoka is a popular brand among pro runners, but be aware that reviewers say they run super-wide.

With a cushy feel and a bandage-style upper, these slides — which come in five colors — are a fun way to kick off your shoes and chill. Reviewers say they're a great option if you want your slides to have some funky style.

If you're looking for a clog-style recovery slide, these have the same patented foam technology as the OOFOS slides, but the styling may be more appealing to some wearers.

Though they're on the pricey side, more than 10,000 Amazon reviewers give them a thumbs up. They also have received the APMA Seal of Approval.

If recovery slides feel clunky and awkward to you, try this flip-flop style, which will give you the same cushioning and support as a slide, but it may feel more secure on your foot. This recovery flip-flop also has earned the APMA Seal of Approval.
