Unsurprisingly, there are thousands of shoes on sale for Amazon Prime Day, happening now through July 13. Summery flip flops, wedding-ready heels, gardening clogs, house slippers—you name it, and it's likely deeply discounted for two days during the Amazon shopping event, tempting you to upgrade you wardrobe with the click of a button.

Before you add to cart, however, skip the slippers and consider shopping for sneakers with arch support instead. Proper arch support can make the difference between a shoe that takes you miles, and a shoe that makes you never want to wear shoes again.  "Good arch support is a must for any high-quality shoe, and slippers are no exception," Velimir Petkov, DPM, a podiatrist at Premier Podiatry in Clifton, New Jersey, previously told Well+Good. Considering top-tier sneaks from from name brands can cost anywhere from the high double digits to high triples, now is the perfect time to snatch some up.

Below, you'll find the best sneakers for knocking around your neighborhood, hitting the gym, or just running errands. Keep your arches happy—and you will go far. Podiatrist's orders.

The breathable, engineered mesh sleeve will keep you cool whether you’re going out for a casual walk or cycling through the strength training machines at the gym. We’re partial to this frosty violet ice hue, but the juicy raspberry and even tie-dye are fun, too. Best part is, they come in wide sizes, too, giving you the best fit for your feet.

Adidas, Women's Cloudfoam Pure 2.0 Running Shoe

Alright, floral print! The rubber sole on this shoe offers the feel of sneakers with all the support you need for a long day of standing or walking, while the textile upper keeps airflow moving on swampy, sweaty days.

They come in a variety of muted and flashy styles (depending on your preferred aesthetic) and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
