Comfortable shoes need to do more than look good. In the Netherlands, they have to cope with long walks, cycling, changeable weather and everyday wear. Yet it can be hard to tell from a product photo whether a pair will really suit you.
As a Joybuy Product Recommendation Officer, I check product details against practical criteria: fit, material, fastening, sole and care. That way, you can avoid paying for marketing promises alone.
A soft sole may feel comfortable, but it doesn’t tell you everything about the fit. A shoe could be too narrow, offer little support or slip at the heel. So, also check the width, the shape of the toe box and how the shoe fastens.
Lightweight shoes are handy for travelling, shopping and everyday wear. However, a low-top trainer with a textile upper isn’t automatically suitable for rain. Check whether the material is water-resistant or simply breathable. For clogs and sandals, “water-friendly” generally means the product information says they can be used in water; it doesn’t guarantee they’re fully waterproof.
Sizing can vary between brands and models. Some Crocs models show sizes in US, UK and EU formats, while Skechers also lists foot length in centimetres. Measure both feet at the end of the day and compare the longer foot with the size guide. If you usually wear socks, take them into account too.
A suitable fastening is important for everyday shoes:
A synthetic leather upper is generally easy to clean. Mesh and textile uppers allow more air to circulate according to the product description, but often need more careful cleaning. A fully moulded foam construction, such as that used in some Crocs Classic Clog models, has few seams and can be cleaned with water and mild soap.
Ventilation holes can improve airflow, but they don’t automatically make a shoe suitable for cold or wet weather.
Check the sole’s material and shape. Rubber soles feature on various Skechers models and are suitable for everyday use on the street. EVA or foam soles can help keep the weight down. For slippery floors, look for a treaded sole and, if specified, an anti-slip feature.
If grip is your priority, you can also browse the women’s anti-slip shoes collection. Always check the product details and instructions for use; no sole is slip-proof in every situation.
Why it suits this profile: This lightweight clog is designed for casual wear, the garden, beach, swimming pool and short shopping trips. The heel strap can be moved back for extra support or forwards for a looser fit.
The size guide lists foot lengths and recommends sizing up if you’re unsure. That means you don’t have to rely on your usual EU size alone.
Moulded from foam resin, with ventilation holes, a rotating heel strap and easy care with water and mild soap.
Why it suits this profile: A good choice if you’re looking for comfortable trainers with a classic look for work, shopping and casual wear.
The product information specifies a standard fit, shoe width D and lace fastening. This gives you a clearer idea of the fit than a general comfort claim alone.
Synthetic leather upper, rubber sole, lace fastening and care in line with the stated washing instructions.
Why it suits this profile: These women’s trainers are designed for everyday walking and casual activities. The mesh upper and pull tab are practical for regular wear.
The description gives a standard fit, size 37, width G and sizing advice. The shoe isn’t described as water-resistant, so bear this in mind if you plan to wear it in the rain.
Mesh upper, EVA outsole, pull tab and a sole tread that, according to the product information, helps provide grip on different surfaces.
We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
How long your shoes last depends on the material, how you use them and how you care for them. Here are a few practical tips:
It depends on your routine. Trainers with laces or a secure slip-on design are practical for commuting and shopping. Clogs and women’s sandals are handy for the garden, beach and short distances. Focus on the fit, sole tread and the weather you plan to wear them in.
According to the product description, these models are suitable for use in water and easy to clean with water. That doesn’t mean they should be considered waterproof shoes. For prolonged exposure to rain, check the product information and material carefully.
Measure both feet from heel to toe while standing. Then use the size guide for the specific model. The Crocs Classic Clog size guide includes US sizes and foot lengths, while Skechers lists EU sizes and sometimes widths such as D or G. If you’re unsure, don’t automatically choose the same size you wear in another brand.
