Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women’s. Promising review: "Love everything about these boots! Perfect size to wear out and about in the rain. They keep my feet dry and are comfy and stylish. I’ve been wanting Hunter boots for a while and am glad I finally bought these. Love the color too!" —Cassie Get them from Amazon for $95+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 11 colors). Promising review: "These shoes are extremely comfortable! They have really good arch support, which makes them really comfortable for walking. You do need to wear socks that cover your ankles with them, though. Otherwise, they will give you blisters. Color is great, and I’ve already gotten many compliments on them!" —Nikki Get them from Adidas for $110 (available in sizes 5–15 and in 54 colors). Promising review: "These sandals are so comfortable and go with everything. I am very happy with my purchase." —Sally H. Get them from Liberté for $108 (originally $135; available in sizes 5–12). Promising review: "These are so lightweight and comfy ! I can’t wait to wear them with many outfits, and probably buy them in another color!!" —Sarah Get them from Reef for $85 (available in sizes 5–11 and 15 colors). Promising review: "I absolutely love these sandals! The block heel gives the perfect amount of height without being too high, and the mule style makes them easy to slip on and off. They look great with so many different outfits. Plus, they're really comfortable — I can wear them all day without any pain or discomfort. Overall, I highly recommend these sandals to anyone looking for a stylish and comfortable pair of shoes! 🤍" —Mo Get it from Amazon for $71.20+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 10 colors). Promising review: "Love the style of these shoes. They don’t look like your average tennis shoes, which was very appealing to me. I’m usually a 'style' over 'comfort' with shoes, but these check off both boxes! So comfortable. Purchased to do some hiking in Zion National Park for Spring Break, but will be wearing them for more than just hiking!" —Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $145 (available in sizes 5–12 and two colors). Promising review: "These are super cute and by far the most comfortable heels I’ve ever worn. My feet are wide and flat, so typically, heeled shoes are not my friend. For context, I wore them to a baby shower and afterward walked around Whole Foods with zero issues. I’m definitely buying these in silver next." —Adriana L. Get them from Aerosoles for $135 (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 16 colors/styles). Promising review: "These shoes are a favorite! I ordered the black after having a beet red color for about a year and a half. They were comfortable right out of the box, the leather is supple, and they look high-quality. I am very happy with my purchase. These are often compared to the Brixton loafer from a high-end fashion brand." —Christine Get them from Amazon for $150 (available in sizes 4–14, including wide sizes, and dozens of colors/styles). Just be sure not to put them in the dryer; let them air-dry after washing. Promising review: "Why did I wait so long??? I wish I could wear these shoes all day for everything! They're so comfortable and lightweight." —Stone, C. Get them from Allbirds for $100 (available in sizes 5–11 and 14 colors/styles). The company recommends going up half a size! Promising review: "I absolutely love the Day Gloves, and I have them in several colors. They are stylish and comfortable right out of the box. They're great for work. Fit is true to size." —ndog99 Get them from Everlane for $148 (available in sizes 5–11 and eight colors). Promising review: "Hard to find comfortable shoes with proper support. Always had problems with my feet, including flat feet and heel spurs. These have soft cushioning and proper support. I walk all day on cement floors, and these are comfortable and fashionable!" —Chrisp Get it from Amazon for $55.95+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and five colors). Christina Christi Jls is a woman-owned small biz based in Greece! They specialize in sandals, handbags, belts, jewelry, and more. Promising review: "What shall I say? I LOVE the sandals! Beautiful design, comfortable, and the contact I had with the seller was great! Thank you very much!" —Rebecca C. Get them from Christina Christi Jls on Etsy for $119.01+ (originally $156.85; available in sizes 5–10.5, two styles, and four colors). Promising review: "These ballet slippers are nicer and much better quality than many I’ve tried on. I like the square toe and the buckle is so cute!" —SuperMaimey Get it from Nordstrom for $135+ (available in sizes 5–12 and six colors) or Amazon for $120+ (available in sizes 5–11 and three colors). Promising review: "I wanted some chunky shoes so bad, and my husband bought me these! Sooooo happy! They're so comfortable and trendy!! I wear them with jean shorts, leggings, pants, just about everything. They're perfect. One of my favorite pairs of sneakers now!" —Jsb Get them from Amazon for $69.52+ (available in sizes 5.5–11 and two colors). Promising review: "I am obsessed with these shoes! They don't even feel like I'm wearing platforms. They just feel like sandals, which is good because I'm clumsy. I ordered size 7 because I'm usually a 6.5, but they don't have half sizes. The 7 is fine. I'd say just about a half size too big (lol), but I just tightened the back strap, and we're good to go!!! They're great. I have like 100 pairs of shoes, but I wear these several times a week, whenever I can. Worth every penny. I want 10 more pairs of Dr. Martens sandals now." —Maggie Get them from Amazon for $99 (available in women's sizes 5–11, men's sizes 4–10, and four colors/styles). Promising review: "Love these shoes! It’s only been a few days, but I had to leave a review. I have worn them every day since I bought them. The sole is hard, very hard. Super comfortable. Wore them to a baby shower, walked around Virginia Beach, and visited forts in Virginia. Very pleased with the few days I’ve had them." —Lora Get them from Amazon for $109+ (available in sizes 6–11 and dozens of colors/styles). It's recommended to go half a size up if you have narrow feet and a full size up for wider feet in this particular style! BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes backs that up: "I have a pair of Rothy's flats, and though I usually wear an 8, I went with an 8.5, and they fit perfectly. Though I haven't had the chance to wear them a *ton* (because I WFH most days), I have commuted in them several times with no issues. They're super comfy and feel so lightweight and stretchy! I have them in the neutral Ecru color, but they come in a ton of gorgeous colors — if I were going into the office regularly, I'd be tempted to grab them in several shades. Psst — check out my colleagues' full Rothy's flats review for more deets!" Promising review: "I have lived with bunions for many years and have to be very careful with the cut of a shoe in that area of my foot. Rothy’s felt like walking on a cloud the minute I put them on, and that comfort has not stopped." —Jane C. Get them from Rothy's for $155 (available in sizes 5–13, including wide sizes, and 13 colors/styles). Rothy's flats come in a bunch of different styles, and you can check them out here! These are machine washable, and if you do wash them, make sure to air dry them! Promising review: "Perfect spring shoe! This is my third pair. I didn't get past the entryway before trying them on, and I loved them at first sight! They pair easily with jeans or business-casual slacks for work. Honestly, having to hold back from buying another pair. I normally wear a size 9, but I recommend you go up a half-size in this shoe, so I ordered a 9.5." —Brandi N. Get them from Rothy's for $109+ (originally $199; available in sizes 5–13 and six colors/styles). Promising review: "LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! I wore these on vacation for walking around (we walked a LOT) and also for running. You can’t beat them — cute, functional, and comfortable. I’m going to get another pair of APLs because they’re worth it." —Irish R. Get them from APL for $245 (available in sizes 5-11 and 12 colors/styles). Promising review: "Comfy, stylish, true to size! Pairs great with a multitude of clothing options. Can be pricey if you buy at full price, but I feel it's worth the price if you plan to wear them a lot." —Sheila Get them from Amazon for $120+ (available in sizes 5–10.5 and 20 colors/styles). Miuccia Studio is based in Indonesia and specializes in the *dreamiest* handmade shoes and bags. Promising review: "Love, love, love these!! I’ve been looking for the perfect pair of mules for months, and I’m so happy I ordered these. They go with everything and are super comfy. Shipping was right on time, if not a little early." —Stacie Carlson Get it from Miuccia Studio on Etsy for $80.75+ (originally $95; available in European sizes 36–43, US sizes 5–13, and six colors). Promising review: "I got these shoes simply because of the price. I was NOT expecting them to be so comfortable and stylish! I wore them right out to the box to a pumpkin patch, meaning I walked all day in them and had NO complaints. I would recommend them to anyone!" —Braelyn Burk Get them from Amazon for $80.99+ (available in sizes 5–11 and five colors/styles). Promising review: "These sandals look cute and are super comfortable at the same time. I can wear these for hours while walking, and my feet don’t hurt. I have three pairs, and my sister has five pairs. I’m a nurse, so I know a thing or two about our feet hurting. Get this now!" —Placeholder Get them from Amazon for $49.49+ (available in sizes 3–11 and 14 colors/styles). Promising reviews: "These sandals look very stylish and feel incredibly comfortable. I have sensitive skin, and I was pleasantly surprised that they didn’t cause any blisters, even after walking in them for a long time. I sized up, and it was the right choice — they fit perfectly and look great on my feet. Highly recommend!" —Ket Get them from Amazon for $48.09+ (available in sizes 5–13 and 10 colors/styles). Promising review: "I bought these sandals about a month before I went on vacation. I walked around in them all day in very hot temperatures (38–40 degrees Celsius) with my feet sweating and swelling, and did not get any blisters or hot spots. I thought for sure they would start to smell, but they didn't! I read reviews from others who didn't like the ankle strap not being adjustable, but I didn't have any issues. I definitely wouldn't go hiking in these sandals, but they are great for everyday casual wear and super cute. I love the wide-toe box for my problem feet. I will definitely be buying more pairs in different colors. These are the most comfortable sandals I have ever bought! I did have some rubbing on my big toe from the toe box material, but I got used to it quickly with no issues." —Ldc8 Get them from Keen for $120 (available in sizes 5–12 and seven colors). Promising review: "These are my summer hiking shoes. I put over 500 miles on them so far, and they’re still great. Still have great tread and don’t slip at all. I like the shorter ones for summer because I burn up. They’re water resistant, too. I have metatarsal pain in my right foot, and these are the best ones that I have found for my foot. Also, they have a huge toe box and a nice, snug heel, so downhill is just fine. Love 'em!" —Courtney B Get them from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in sizes 5–13, including wide sizes, and 17 colors/styles).
