When was the last time you bought a new pair of shoes? If you’re still thinking about your answer, then you’re in the right place.

Hiding within the Amazon Outlet, where many of Amazon’s best discounts can be found, are thousands of deals on comfy shoes. I only popped in to find some new sandals for the beach — I’m thinking of grabbing these sweet and simple Reef flip-flops while they’re 40 percent off — but now I’m distracted by all the shoes under $50 from brands like Skechers, Adidas, Clarks, Teva, and Chaco.

Luckily, at prices like these, I can manage to snag a few pairs.

I’m surprised to see such a classic sandal from Teva, an editor-loved brand, up for grabs in the Amazon Outlet. The rubbery midsole has a heel cup and arch support, and the adjustable straps offer a customized fit. This pattern reminds me of the Tevas my sister wore when we were kids, but if it isn’t your style, there are plenty of others.

Worn by everyone from Jennifer Lawrence to our grandmothers, Reeboks are a fail-safe summer shoe choice. “The only sneakers I can wear all day -

without my pinky toe aching!” an Amazon customer wrote in a review of these Court sneakers. “I wear this to golf range and pickleball and they work well enough.”

Wedding guests, pay attention: Kitten heels may be trendy right now, but they won’t do you any favors at outdoor ceremonies or on the dance floor. Wedges like these are a safer bet: “I can't remember which decade I last wore shoes for an entire wedding and reception. Until now,” wrote a shopper. “I have plantar fasciitis and am picky about footwear… They felt great all night!”

Here are those flip-flops I was talking about before. I stick shoes like these in my beach bag and slip them on just before I hit the sand. Truly, nothing says “summer” to me like a slim thong sandal.

But I’ll admit that flip-flops are not the most supportive shoe. If that’s your priority when it comes to footwear, keep scrolling for sturdier slide sandals, ballet flats, wedges, Crocs clogs, and even cowboy boots, all for under $50 in Amazon’s Outlet.
