Yahoo Life asked New York–based podiatrist Polina Zaydenberg to pick the comfiest shoes she's been coveting as of late — and guess what? They're all available at Amazon, and they're all on sale.

We're pretty sure the Akks are about to become your new favorite footwear. Lightweight, with just the right mix of give and support, they’re a pleasure to slip into.

The cushy memory foam insole absorbs impact, while the flexible rubber sole feels like a dream. The soft mesh upper is happily breathable — no overly toasty toes here. And each shoe weighs only 0.8 pounds!

This sporty sneaker — which is marked down in a bunch of colors and sizes — is made entirely of buttery leather. The chunky style will win you points around town too. You'll want to wear these with everything: leggings, jeans, even skirts and dresses.

Dr. Zaydenberg is most intrigued by the shoe's thick base. "The platform is good for people with insertional Achilles tendonitis," Dr. Zaydenberg explained.

Translation: You're experiencing inflammation at the back of your foot, where your Achilles tendon meets the heel bone.

"Elevating your heel is relaxing the Achilles tendon, and it provides less tension in the area of concern," Dr. Zaydenberg adds. Choose from 38 colors!
