Whether youre in between pedicures, are dealing with bunions  and hammertoes or are just feeling a little insecure about your digits, you might not want to wear sandals that leave your phalanges fully on display.

And if weve learned one thing its that fuller coverage footwear doesnt have to feel restrictive or uncomfortable. To prove our point, we ventured to find closed-toed shoe designs that still claim to offer all of the benefits that you normally get from traditional sandals like breathability, flexibility and or even outdoor capabilities. 

Explore our findings in the list of sandals ahead, which include options like lace-up espadrilles for nicer occasions, classic outdoor sandals for your next camping trip or cushioned clog-style slides that are great for everyday wear.

Keen's classic outdoor sandals
Keen's Newport hybrid outdoor sandals are a classic choice for all your outdoor and watery adventures thanks to their durable and fast-drying construction with a covered toe that's wide enough to accommodate bunions, feature a shock-absorbing arch and a high-traction rubber outsole.

Dr. Scholl's is a trusted name in supportive and pain-relieving shoe inserts and this pair of men's fishermen's sandals features that same anatomical cushioning, comfort and support. They claim to offer a lightweight and flexible construction, come in two colors and men's sizes 7-13.
4
A slimmer version of the classic Keen sandal
Very similar to the well-known Newport sandal from Keen, this slimmer and newer rendition has a multi-directional lug pattern on the sole for all-terrain traction and a closed-toe design. The shoes feature a "Metatomical" molded footbed, a brand-exclusive insole that is anatomically designed to provide better support. These are only available in women's sizes 5-11 and up to eight colors.
5
A chunky fisherman's sandal
These chunky platform sandals from Sorel have a fun crocodile detailing on the straps, a rugged outersole and a cushioned foam footbed. The midsole and outsole is made using the brand's exclusive molded "Feathertread" rubber, which is lightweight but promises a secure and grippy traction. Grab these in four colors and women's sizes 5-12.
6
Breathable canvas Keens
The Uneek canvas sandal from Keen boasts a sole that's a little different compared to the footwear that the brand is best known for. The cushioned midsole claims to absorb shock while a resilient foam insole offers arch support. The shoe's uppers are made with soft microfiber and cords for a wear that's ultra breezy. You can find them in a few different color combinations (one for women, two for men) and in sizes for both men (7-14) and women (6-11).
7
Vivobarefoot
A hiking sneaker sandal
According to the brand, these trekking sandals are designed to mimic the feeling of walking barefoot, yet are built for all-terrain adventures like hiking or walking riverside. The uppers are made from a breathable mesh material, a grippy rubber outsole and a foam midsole. They are available in four colors and sizes for men (7-15) and women (4.5-11).
8
A pair of arch-support slip-on sandals
Available in up to eight colors and women's sizes 6-11 (including wide-width options), these slip-on sandals by Earth have a cushioned memory foam footbed with arch support. Both reviewers and the brand say the leather uppers will stretch to your feet for a customized fit.
9
A pair of lace-up espadrilles
These effortless and breathable espadrilles by Soludos are lined with 100% cotton fabric, have cotton laces and an authentic jute base. According to one reviewer who normally finds lace-up shoes uncomfortable, these were "just amazing" and "so comfy." They come in various colors, including stripes, denims and pastels. They're available in women's sizes 5-11.5.
10
A pair of cushioned huaraches
As an owner of several pairs of traditional huaraches, my complaint has always been how thin, non-supportive and un-cushioned the insoles are and I'm typically unable to wear them for more than a few hours. The Sunsteps huaraches on the other hand promise a soft cushion footbed that's flexible, lightweight and, according to reviews , comfortable and breathable. They are available in up to four neutral colors and sizes for both men (9.5-11) and women (6-10).
11
A versatile Croc clog
Although Crocs are polarizing shoes, these waterproof clogs have a longstanding reputation for comfort and versatility. They are incredibly lightweight, flexible and fast-drying and have a ribbed, contoured footbed for moderate support. You can find these in unisex sizing and a near endless selection of colors.
12
A pair of elastic strap wedges
These fabric espadrille-style wedges have nearly 4,400 5-star ratings on Amazon and come with several claims attesting to their comfort. The wedge heel is wide enough for stability and the ankle strap is elastic for a flexible fit. You can find them in 10 colors and women's sizes 5-11.
13
Cushioned Birkenstock clogs
Birkenstocks are famed for their highly supportive corked footbeds that mold to the arches of your feet and a neutral heel profile that distributes body weight evenly. If you're less partial to the brand's customary stiff footbed, their Boston style comes in this cushioned soft bed version and in a suede fabric option that's less rigid than Birkenstocks' traditional leather uppers which might rub on bunions and hammer toes.
14
A breathable canvas-top slide
Although these arent entirely a sandal, they are a low-maintenance slide that can be a good warm-weather option for anyone that doesn't feel like exposing their toes. Available in nearly 25 vibrant prints and womens sizes 5-10.5, these Uin mules have a cushioned and massaging insole, a generous toe box and claim to weigh no more than an avocado.
