"Four years running, they look brand new." —Just one of the many impressive reviews ahead.

Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

Promising review: "Great fit! Super lightweight and have amazing arch support. I've had these for years and still wear them regularly. They are great for the gym and made it through several trips to theme parks and survived." —Zella

Get them from Amazon for $74.95+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and five colors). 

Promising review: "I bought two pairs four years ago, the brown and the black. I love them. They're incredibly comfortable, and I am super picky about comfort. They're not waterproof, but they're fairly water-resistant, and they have a little insulation, not to wear on a cold day, but on a rainy fall day or a spring day, they work great with a pair of wool socks. I live in these boots, on warm winter days when I have to go into town ( I live in the mountains with snow, but when I go into town, it's an hour away and they don't have snow or it's a minimal, so I don't need to wear heavy winter boots, but I still want to be cute), and spring when it's a bit wet outside.

"Four years running, they look brand new, they easily wipe off with a wet cloth, I've had compliments every time I've worn them; they look more expensive than they are. I have several pairs of Dream Pairs, shoes, and boots. I have a pair of Dream Pairs' winter boots that are similar to Sorel's Joan of Arc. I returned the Sorel boots because the Dream Pairs ( winter boots, not the tall boot in this post) kept my feet warmer when I'm out shoveling snow for hours." —Franny Stevens

Promising reviews: "These are my new favorite shoes. I'm over 40 with tired, sore feet, and these are sooo comfortable and stylish enough for me to still have a lil' flavor in my style!! I own two colors (gray suede and black python), and now I want them all!! Worth the money. True to size for me." —Karisa

"The perfect shoe. Super comfy, they go with everything, and I love the ease of the slip-on/slip-off. I’ve owned these for a couple of years now, and they’ve traveled to several countries because they’re lightweight and comfortable for long walks." —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $33+ (available in sizes 4–14, including narrow and wide sizes, and 17 colors). 

Promising reviews: "I bought these sandals before a three-week trip in Europe; I didn't want to pay for Birks but did want something in a similar style with good arch support. I was a little skeptical about the low price but gave them a shot... and they were the MOST comfortable sandals I've ever owned. I walked over 120 miles in them in three weeks on our trip and never once had foot pain. They broke in so quickly and were very supportive from the get-go — and still are! Highly recommend." —Han Lin

"This is my second pair. They are so comfortable, I wore my last pair practically every day for three years. You will never ever regret this purchase!" —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $33.23+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 20 styles).

Promising review: "If you’re debating on purchasing these shoes... debate no further, you need to get them. They are extremely comfortable for lots of walking and other activities. They are durable and have lasted me for almost two years. The mesh gives your feet breathing room, and the shoes are true to size. Mine were an absolute perfect fit!" —Kayla

Get them from Amazon for $15.49+ (available in sizes 5–11 and nine colors).

Promising reviews: "I rarely ever write reviews, but these boots are great. I just reordered them after two years. I wear these probably 3–4 times a week. The only reason I am ordering a new pair is that the inside lining is starting to come off the sole. (I can not stress how often I wear these, with very reasonable wear and tear.) These are super easy to clean and very comfortable. I wear them out downtown or day to day and have no problems walking in them for hours. Definitely buy them if you’re considering it!!" —Ava

"This is my second pair of these boots; the first pair lasted me a few years of wear, almost every day. I travel frequently and wear these to walk many miles. I was so impressed with how they hold up and how comfy they are. Obviously, when I wore the first pair out, I had to buy a new pair immediately. Trust me, buy these boots — great quality, super comfortable, versatile, and super cute!" —Evie Burt

Get them from Amazon for $49.99 (available in sizes 6–11, including wide sizes, and three colors).

Promising reviews: "I absolutely LOVE these shoes! They are super comfy and adorable! I have a wide foot, so I went up a half-size. They fit great! Despite the pointy look, my toes are not squished. The material of the shoe is a soft, suede-like fabric, so it stretches. No need to break in the shoes." —CSG

"After four years, I finally had to retire these shoes after my puppy ate one, but otherwise they held up amazingly through 10-hour work days and lots of long walks through the city between work and school! Just bought another pair. These are so cute, and the quality is amazing for the price." —Kindle Customer

Get them from Amazon for $16.47+ (available in sizes 5–15, including wide sizes, and 11 styles). 

Promising reviews: "Amazingly comfortable! I have a hard time wearing flip-flops because they give little or no support. However, these flip-flops are so supportive that I walked four miles in them without even thinking about my feet!" —Amazon Customer 

"I live in my FitFlops. This style is what I wear to the beach. My last pair lasted at least eight years, and I do spend many weeks at the beach. I am hoping this replacement pair lasts as long." —Cynthia Borelli

Get them from Amazon for $24.02+ (available in sizes 5–11 and eight colors).

Promising reviews: "This is my second pair — I bought my first pair about two years ago, and they’re still going strong and just as comfortable as when I got them. I only purchased a second pair because I wanted a different color. I’ve worn these shoes on trips with long days of walking and standing, and my feet have never been sore afterward. Highly recommend for anyone looking for all-day comfort." —Robyn C.

"Allbirds are hands down my new favorite shoe. I don’t think I’ll ever purchase another brand again. The level of comfort and quality is unmatched, and it's so easy and quick to put on! They are so light and breathable with an added bonus of being machine washable 😍" —Peach T.

Get them from Allbirds for $70+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 13 colors; all colors not available in all sizes).

Promising reviews: "These are basically my everyday shoes. I wear them in the office, and I wear them out and about. I went out with my friends one night and danced for six hours. My feet were sore by the end of the night, but I was still able to walk without taking them off. They're comfortable and look nice. I get compliments on them all the time. Goes with almost all of my outfits." —Quyen

"I LOVE these shoes! I bought the tan pair two years ago, and they are still in great condition and super comfortable (I have wide feet)! Just bought a black and white pair today." —Galerie Dixon

Get them from Amazon for $4.74+ (available in sizes 5–10 and seven colors).

Promising review: "Three years and still running! Ordered them in August 2023, and they still feel great! The feature that caught my eye was the way they can be washed: just tossed in a laundry net, then in the washer! I've walked so many kilometres, more than 30 minutes nonstop, and these flats don't feel terrible, quite the contrary, they're a relief. Roomy toe box, my toes aren't squished. I use them in the office or when running errands, and they still provide me with comfort on long walks. Amazing, a great purchase that withstands the test of time." —Nallelly C.

Get it from Vivaia for $69+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 16 styles). 

Promising review: "When you need a summer shoe to match a black outfit, there isn't anything better! These espadrilles are the best! Perfect heel height — they are comfortable to walk in, but not kitten-height. Wore my last pair for three years and buying both colors this year." —Merry

Get them from Soludos for $119 (available in sizes 5–11 and three colors).

Promising reviews: "Literally the best heels ever. I typically struggle with finding a pair of heels that fit right, look right, and feel right. The rubber on the bottom actually makes them super sturdy and comfortable to walk in; there’s no feeling of slipping or slickness. The platform and heel give great support. I have very narrow feet, and they fit so perfectly. My sister, with 'fluffier' feet, wore them, and they fit her just right. I was carrying my niece around all day, helping move stuff around, walked on grass/tile/hardwood floors, and loved them. 10/10 would recommend!!" —Real review

"Very comfortable. Bought my first pair in December 2019. Just ordered a new pair today May 2025. I wore those shoes so much, and I guess they got sick of me because BOTH of them fell apart last night, lol! Mind you, I have been wearing them for at least 4+ hours at a time for years. Took them on vacation, interviews, lounges, weddings, everything. Great value, do just go ahead and get them." —Neo

Promising review: "These are my favorite boots ever! They are comfortable right out of the box. I wear them to work all winter long, and when they start to wear out, I buy another pair. I have been wearing these for three years now, almost every day in the winter. They look so cute with skirts. Every time I wear them, I get compliments from strangers." —Heather

Promising reviews: "Super comfortable. Perfect fit. Stable because of the chunky heel. Absolutely love these and plan on getting every color." —M. Clayton

"Love these shoes, great fit, especially in the toe area, and you can wear them all day comfortably. I have them in tan, black, and yellow, and a similar style in suede-ish kelly green. I have worn them for two years now, and they still look brand new. Highly recommend." —Scott Clark

Get them from Amazon for $54.77+ (available in sizes 5–12 and three colors). 

Promising review: "Durable, comfortable, and washable! I absolutely love these shoes. I wore them for my wedding, and they were so elegant and comfortable. Easy to slip on, and the material is thick enough that these shoes have lasted me two years of almost constant use. The material is also flexible, allowing it to shape to your foot comfortably. Love, love, love these. I get compliments all the time." —Rianna

Get them from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes 5.5–11 and in eight styles). 

Promising reviews: "These are the most comfortable booties I have ever worn. The footbed is divine. I would seriously like to thank the genius that designed them. I can walk all day in them in the city, and my feet feel great. I have both black and toffee leather — very soft leather, which I like. I did take another reviewer's advice and treated them with beeswax sealer before wearing. So, they are holding up pretty well considering how much daily wear and abuse they've had." —M.Jerge

"These boots are the best ankle boots ever!! I still have a pair of the same ones that I bought about eight years ago!!! I pretty much wore them out!" —Candy

Promising reviews: "I love the look of these and, even brand new, they are very comfortable! I am so glad I bought them! Better than expected!" —Laurie Ramirez

"I have three pairs of these shoes ( black, brown, and blue). Wear them alternatively depending on the outfit. Very comfortable, even when standing or walking most of the working day like I do. Provide that little extra height that makes you look more put together. Very durable (oldest pair I have worn for five years straight)." —flor de lis

Get them from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in sizes 5–11, including wide fits, and six colors)

Promising reviews: "I've gotten compliments every single time I've worn them. I love the feel and how flexible they are for skirts, pants, and rolled-up jeans, etc." —Kindle Customer

"This is my second pair of Dansko clogs. The first ones lasted four years before the soles wore out. I asked the company about repairs, and they did not recommend it because it may compromise the integrity of the shoes and the overall health benefits of their shoes. So I bought another pair. Very happy feet." —Carter Household

Get them from Amazon for $119.95+ (available in sizes 5.5–12 and three colors).

Promising review: "I bought mine two years ago, and they are still in good shape. Lightweight and comfortable. It was an excellent deal when I purchased it." —Zach

"This is the second pair of these I’ve ordered, and they’re 100% worth the price! My first pair held up through YEARS of ren faires and other long-distance walking activities (yes, they are THAT comfy, light, and durable that I’ve hiked in them!) The tread is good enough for handling even light snow, and they are very warm in the winter. Beautiful style that pairs with nearly everything." —Addie

Get them from Amazon for $62.99+ (available in sizes 5.5–10 and two styles)

Promising reviews: "These shoes are so comfy! I ordered my regular size, and they fit great, so I would say they are true to size. The gold color is so versatile. They also hold up very well. I have worn these probably 100 times, and there is no wear or cracking, and I do a lot of walking. I am definitely going to be buying more of these in different colors!" —Amazon Customer

"These are great! I have had them for two years now, wearing them many times during the week to work, and they have lasted! They're ballet flats, so don't expect a lot of support, but as far as comfort around the office goes, these are some of the best. Size up one. I usually wear an 8.5 and got a 9, but I could have done with a 9.5." —Alicia McElhannon

Get them from Amazon for $11.54+ (available in sizes 5–15, including wide fits, and 20 colors)

Promising review: "I was questioning at first if I would like these or if they would be good quality, but boy was I proven wrong. They are now my favorite boots, I wear them all the time from work, to events, to going out, etc. They work for everything and I can walk in them for hours, and I hate wearing heels for extended periods. They are cute, go with everything, can be worn anywhere, and are easy to clean if they ever get messy. The perfect boot, and I’ve worn them for a couple years now; they're still walking as good as the day I received them." —Jacklyn

Get them from Amazon for $16+ (available in sizes 5.5–12, including wide fits, and 15 styles).

"Love these boots! This is my second pair, and I will soon be replacing my other (black) pair from a few years ago. They fit true to size and are incredibly comfortable — perfect for long days at work. I especially appreciate that they don’t make a click-clack sound on hard surfaces like tile floors, which is all we have at work. They pair well with just about any outfit, and the heel height is ideal. I’m a size 8 and purchased size 8 in brown this time. Absolutely worth the price!" —Rosa M.
