- Price: $34.99
It’s a win-win for your wallet to shop for Cushionaire women’s footbed sandals at Target.
A similarly designed pair of women’s Birkenstock sandals costs $79.99 online at Costco and is available to members only. That’s more than twice what you’d pay at Target for these comfortable and flexible sandals.
