New season = new shoes! From the "viral Walmart sneakers" you've likely seen popping up all over your TikTok and the Hokas you've seen on Julianne Hough and Taylor Swift to a controversial pair of Crocs and a cute (but practical!) pair of rain boots, some new footwear is sure to put a *spring* in your step.

Promising review: "These surpassed my expectations. So comfy, good quality, gorgeous color. Obviously, these look very much like the Hermès sandals. I have those sandals. These are much more comfortable to wear. I liked them so much, I ordered another pair in yellow. You won’t be disappointed — don’t hesitate." —Duckie SF

Get them from Amazon for $39.90+ (available in sizes 5.5–11 and 23 colors).

Promising review: "TikTok brought me here. I saw so many DIYs being done and all the rave about comfort. I must say, I'm even more impressed with this shoe in person. Buy them! Comparable style and fit to more high-end brands. As a sneaker woman, I'm happy to add these to my collection. I paired them with slouch socks." —anonymous

Get them from Walmart for $27 (available in sizes 6–12, including wide sizes, and 12 styles). 

Promising review: "LOVE LOVE LOVE these shoes. I almost always buy very expensive shoes because I can’t find reasonably priced, comfortable shoes. These shoes are the exception. They are remarkably comfortable and adorable. BUY THEM with confidence." —Marnie Van

Get them from Amazon for $31.34 (available in sizes 31.34 (available in sizes 5.5–11 and four styles).

Promising reviews: "Amazing. These shoes are so comfortable! I wear them for my daily 3-mile walk. They have a nice, wide toe area and so much cushion on the bottom. I was having some heel pain, but the support in these is amazing, no more pain. I’m considering getting another pair just to wear around the house because they’re more comfortable than slippers." —Sonya Kay

"As someone who owns a pair of Hokas, in my opinion, these are better. I have plantar fasciitis and work in a hospital. Believe me when I say this, I HAVE ZERO FOOT PAIN when I'm wearing these! For half the price and comfort, I will 100% recommend these to anyone." —Jennifer Emilien

Get them from Amazon for $59.49 (available in sizes 5.5–11 and eight colors).

Promising reviews: "Feels like you're walking on a cloud. I’ve had these for two years and they still feel the same as when I got them. The color is identical to the picture on your screen and they feel like heaven. The price can’t be beat." —The Unordinary Mom 

"These are the real deal. Many similar-looking sandals are much less thick and comfortable when they arrive. These are as advertised. Very comfortable." —Patrick

Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in women's sizes 4–15 and men's sizes 3–16 and 16 colors). 

Promising review: "These are so comfortable, and the more I wear them, the better they get. They are built well for a fraction of the price of authentic Birks. The leather is thick and soft, and they glide on like a dream, even in hot weather with swollen feet. They look great in any outfit, and the fit is spot-on. They'll take a few weeks to break in and avoid blisters, though." —Rachel Jensen

Get them from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in sizes 6–12 and 13 styles).

Promising review: "Amazingly comfortable. I was very skeptical when I bought this pair of heels. I thought I had to return them as they might not be comfortable for me. I have wide feet, so I thought they might not work but I wanna give it a try. Wowww!!! They blew my mind and they are very comfortable. I ordered size 8.5, and they fit me well, especially my wide feet. They’re very cute and very comfortable. The material might not last me for years, but it gave me a beachy feeling, which I love. I totally recommend these shoes. They don’t hurt my feet at all." —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $32.98+ (available in women's sizes 5–11 regular and wide and in 27 styles).

Promising review: "Took a few wears to break in, but then are very comfortable! These were my main shoes for a week-long trip to Europe, and they held up very well! Good for walking long distances!" —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $24.99 (available in sizes 5–12 and six styles).

I've had these sneakers for over a year and have worn them nearly every day. I've used them to run at the gym, take long walks around my neighborhood, explore Maine, run errands at Target and supermarkets, and even attend a Jonas Brothers concert! These shoes have been on my feet everywhere and anywhere! I absolutely love them and sing their praises to anyone who will listen. Mine are so run down at this point that the rubber on the bottom is peeling. I tore a tendon in my foot in 2019, so it's really important that I wear supportive sneakers. I've had zero pain while wearing these! They're a godsend, and they've served me well. I will absolutely be ordering another pair ASAP.

Promising review: "A friend of mine had Cliftons, and I tried them on. I knew I'd need these for my school to become a nurse! Two semesters later, I still love them and bought two more pairs. One for everyday and the other for the gym. I'm a Hoka girlie for sure. I recommend these to everyone I know." —Dee

Promising review: "I purchased these last summer because they were recommended for plantar fasciitis sufferers and I have not been disappointed! These are casual and perfect for everyday wear and I can wear them for hours and hours of walking without any discomfort. I really am happy with these flip-flops!" —INcatlady

Get them from Amazon for $32.98+ (available in sizes 6–11 and 33 colors).

Promising review: "I absolutely love these rain boots! As a teacher, I needed something I could wear out on duty that would be effective and comfortable. I decided I also wanted something that was bright and happy! I absolutely love these. They fit well, and they are incredibly comfortable. Such a variety of happy colors that can make even the dreariest of rainy days a little bit brighter." —Annie

Get them from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in 17 colors and women's sizes 6–11).

I (Hetaher) have been wearing these sneakers for over two years (in the super cute Sea Salt/Gray Violet color) and adore them. I had worn my previous white sneakers into the ground and was absolutely due for a replacement. These have been SO supportive and comfortable right off the bat — there was zero break-in period. I've worn them to chase my kids around outdoors, strolling through Target, and even to the circus. They're my go-to, and I definitely recommend them for anyone in search of some new sneaks'.

Promising review: "These are the most gloriously comfortable sneakers I’ve ever worn. I bought the wide, and they are the perfect width." —Amanda C

Get them from Amazon for $107.24+ (available in women's sizes 5–13, in wide sizes, and 14 styles).

Reviewers note to buy these in a size up from your usual shoe size — and I concur. I have these sneakers and am usually about a size 6, but bought these in a 7. They're super comfortable, so comfortable in fact that I wore them to the marathon that was Taylor Swift's The Eras tour. They're easy to get on and off, never hurt the back of my ankles or my toes, and look cute with a variety of outfits.

Promising review: "Love these shoes! I saw them in store at Urban Outfitters but they didn't have my size. Obviously I turned to Amazon because what doesn’t this site sell, and lo-and-behold, y’all had it. I try to pair these with almost every outfit because they’re so comfy and stylish! Recently went to Philly, where I had to walk everywhere because we didn't rent a car and these were only pair of shoes I brought (I travel light). These didn’t cramp up my feet at all as I walked over seven hours daily over the course of five days. Definitely recommend!" —Alli J

Promising review: "Super duper cute heels. I wore these for my wedding. I could not find a pair of shoes that looked good with my outfit *and* were comfortable enough to wear all afternoon/evening. I took a chance on these and they arrived just in time two days before the wedding. They fit perfectly, and because of the sturdy heel and ankle strap they were comfortable and easy to walk in. I wore them through the outdoor ceremony and photos, dinner and dancing, and then out to drinks afterwards and my feet did not complain." —Geneva Thompson

Get them from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in 24 colors).

Promising review: "I love how comfy and lightweight they are. I got the silver/gray and they can match almost every outfit. I wear them every day and will buy more when they’re destroyed but they’ve held up well so far with everyday wear and tear (water/mud come out if you throw them in the wash)." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I'm so thrilled with my purchase! My huaraches arrived quickly and are super cute and comfy! I was surprised with how comfortable they are, I didn't have to break them in at all. Great craftsmanship. Overall, beautiful sandals at a great price!" —Etsy Customer

Want to personalize your Crocs? You can add these fun charms to each pair!

Promising reviews: "Crocs are the best spring/ summer shoe ESPECIALLY if you have little kids. They are super easy to take on and off and if they get them dirty, they just rinse right off! I use them every single day and then taking the trash out, if we are going to the beach, the pool, camping!" —K I M

Get them from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes 4–19 and in 26 styles).

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

Get them from Amazon for $21.85+ (available in sizes 5–15, two widths, and 14 colors).

Promising review: "These shoes are pretty much the fanciest ones I've worn since the pandemic started — I'm usually in slippers, flip-flops, or sneakers. And I have to say, these are just as comfy as any of those. I've probably owned 50 pairs of ballet flats over the years, and I'd rank these right up there with shoes that cost three or four times as much. They fit perfectly (I love that they come in wide!) and are so comfortable to wear, even if you're doing lots of walking. I'm so glad I bought multiple colors and will probably buy more!" —CaliGirl89

Get them from Amazon for $17.77+ (available in sizes 5–15, two widths, and 34 colors).

BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes has and loves these! She said, "It's recommended to go up a half size in these boots to accommodate thicker hiking socks, and I found that to be true when I picked up these shoes myself — I'm normally an 8 but found an 8.5 in these to be totally comfortable. I also found that they hold up well even on my first hike — though I did still have some soreness around my heel area. This was after a hard, 7+-mile hike with lots of rocks and climbing, so I don't blame the shoes. They felt comfortable right out of the box and super supportive when I was clambering over rocks and rough terrain. And though I only stepped in water a couple of times briefly, my socks stayed dry, too."

Promising reviews: "What else can I say other than I LOVE THESE HIKING BOOTS!!? They're literally the most comfortable and sturdy shoes I've ever had, and made multiple full days of hiking through multiple types of terrain a breeze. The high ankle support is great for rocky areas and they're definitely waterproof. I figured Columbia would be the way to go, and I was not disappointed!" —M

Get them from Amazon for $64.96+ (available in sizes 5–12, two widths, and two colors).

Promising review: "I wanted a new pair of 'go with everything' plain white sneakers and these definitely are a fantastic choice. The insole is super comfortable and cushioned. They are comfortable right out of the box, no need to break them in. These sneakers look super cute with leggings, jeans, shorts, skirts, etc." —Lee

I snagged myself a pair of Birkenstocks when I got pregnant with my first child in 2021 and ended up wearing them home from the hospital and for the first month postpartum — and did the same with my second pregnancy in 2023 and have been wearing them ever since! Since they have adjustable straps, they were a great option when my feet were super swollen. I leave them by the front door to slip on at any given moment — essential when you're a parent and anything hands-free is ideal. They're also fantastic because if they get dirty, you can just run them under the sink to clean 'em off. My husband was so jealous of my white ones, he got himself a pair in olive. Only now, nearly five years later, am I looking to replace them because the bottom has worn down!

Promising review: "LOVE THE SHOES. They fit great and are waterproof. Might buy another PAIR! Perfect." —Sassy Sherri

Get them from DSW for $49.99 (available in women's sizes 5–10.5, men's sizes 3–8.5 and five colors). Check out more style options here.

I've had these shoes for over three years as of this writing and can confirm they really hold up to wear and tear. They're a great option for when I'm wearing a dress or jeans but want to feel a bit more "dressed up." My girlfriends always compliment me when I wear these!

Promising review: "I wish I could say this was an exaggeration, but I can probably count on two hands how many times I have worn something other than Rothy's point shoes a year. I have hiked in them. I wore them to the maternity ward when I gave birth. Video for proof. They GO with EVERYTHING." —Ariel W.

Get them from Rothy's for $155 (available in sizes 5–13 and 13 styles).

Promising review: "The shoe was comfortable as soon as I put it on. I got compliments on them every where I went, so cute with dresses, shorts, and jeans, they go with everything. I love them so much I bought the oxblood color." —Karyn B Bell

Get them from Amazon for $39.39 (available in sizes 5–10 and in 11 colors).

Promising review: "I've never been much of a sneaker person except for when working out, but I've seen this style all over social media and I really liked them. I waited months before finally ordering these and now I'm kicking myself for doing so! They are not gym shoes, but rather trendy athleisure shoes, and I'm all about comfy and cute." —Kerbear74
