Promising review: "I have plantar fasciitis and was looking for something that would be stylish, fun, and super comfy without giving me foot pain. I was a little hesitant when they arrived, because I REALLY had to force my foot into the boot since they don't unzip or anything, and I was so disappointed. After much tugging and several deep breaths, I was able to get my feet into the boots. I decided to walk around the house in them to see how they felt, and they felt instantly comfortable. BUT I dreaded taking them off, as I wasn't sure I could get them back on again! I was about to repack and return them, but I decided to try again the next day to see if they had stretched out at all after wearing them around the house. Thankfully, they had! I was so happy! A few weeks in now, and I have worn them standing all day, shopping all day, (they were great on icy, snowy sidewalks for grip and keeping my feet dry and happy), and they feel great! The opening has stretched out perfectly, so I can get them on and off pretty easily! I do suggest wearing at least crew-length socks so they don't rub on your shins before they are broken in. These do add quite a bit of height, and make me (at 5'10") tower over my (also 5'10") husband, but I'm trying to embrace it. 😉 I wear a size 10, have wide feet, and very high arches, and these have the perfect amount of room!" —Wildrick

Get it from Amazon for $120.29+ (available in sizes 5–11 and two styles). 

Promising review: "These are true to size and sooo comfortable around the ankle. I’ve got a small heel and long, skinny toes. They don’t dig into the sides of my leg either which is pretty typical for some other booties I’ve tried. I would say they run a tad bit narrow in the toe box but for me it still worked buying the traditional medium width. Walked all around the office and went for a brief walk outside and felt very secure in them. Absolutely adorable too with a summer dress for transitioning to fall. This gets 5 stars from me which is pretty rare for booties. It’s so great that I now want another color!" —Summergal

Get them from DSW for $69.99 (available in sizes 5–12, three widths, and five colors).

Promising review: "STUNNING. Absolutely GORGEOUS shoes. I hope they make them in more colors !!" —heyitsSimone

Get them from Anthropologie for $278 (available in sizes 5–10.5 and two colors).

Promising review: "I ordered these shoes august of 2017, and am only now, 3.5 years later, buying new ones. When I say these shoes have gotten a lot of use, I’m not joking. They have taken me across many countries, through months of work in a grocery store, across my college campus, and soooo many other places. I’ve probably worn them 75% of the days since I bought them. They are extremely comfortable, super supportive (could walk 20,000 steps in a day with no foot pain), and effortlessly cute. I am only now replacing them because the soles are wearing down in the shoe and I’m finally starting to get pain from being on my feet at work all day. I am committed to these shoes for life now though." —Lenore Cohen

Get them from Amazon for $209.95+ (available in women's sizes 6–16, men's sizes 4–14, and 10 colors/styles).

I have these same exact hiking boots in gray, and they are the G.O.A.T. (especially if you have wider feet). I used to be a Keen girl, but the support, stability, and comfort of Oboz has entirely won me over. These boots have taken me across the gnarly trails of New Hampshire's White Mountains, the Northern Cascades in Washington, and throughout the Canadian Rockies. I love them for 3-season wear, and they're especially perfect for the fall months. Not too hot, nor too cold, and I can wear them with socks of varying thickness. I may or may not be snatching up this juicy red color while they're on sale. 👀

Promising review: "We planned for a big trip to New Zealand and realized that we needed some new gear, chief among them some good boots. In the years I've known her my wife wasn't really one for this kind of footwear - I could never get her to look at hiking boots because she thought they were chunky and ugly. The most she was willing to deal with were some athletic shoes with a print. So anyway, we went over to REI to look at stuff like rain jackets and whatnot and I wandered over to the footwear section to find something since my own boots were so worn that there was no tread left anywhere. The missus followed along, started browsing, and these immediately sparked her interest. A friendly REI rep came by, got her a pair in her size, and took her over to that testing "rock" platform to test them out - my wife fell in love with them instantly! She got so excited that we went to several state parks and trails just to try them out way before our trip. Having never worn these kinds of shoes before she loved the support and sense of confidence that they gave her. One other thing to note is that my wife has very small feet - she wears a size 5 - and it compounds the difficulty in trying to find ANY kind of shoe that fits her taste. IMO these boots look even better IRL than in the photos. Wholeheartedly give this boot a full 5 stars!" —Happy Hiker

Get them from REI for $164.73 (originally $220; available in sizes 5–10.5, including wide sizes).

Get them from Free People for $298 (available in sizes 6–11 and 14 colors/patterns).

Get them from Shopbop for $170 (available in sizes 5–11).

Promising review: "I really like everything about these boots. The color and texture look great, the side zipper is sturdy, the buckle accents are a thicker metal not those flimsy cheap buckles you see on some boots. I can dress them up or casual with almost any fitted pant/jeans. The lining is a short cropped fur and very soft. Enough to keep you warm but not make your feet sweat on a regular fall day. I own five pairs of different dream pairs boots and shoes. I'm always impressed with the shipping. The boxes are great, these boots even came with a dust bag for each boot, shapers inside and hardware carefully wrapped. Five stars for sure!" —MUDMUD

Get them from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in sizes 5–12 and seven colors).

Promising review: "Great price, style, and comfortable." —DOROTHY

Get them from Walmart for $59.99 (available in sizes 6–12 and four colors).

Promising review: "These boots are cute, comfortable, and stylish. The toe box has ample space for movement, and the ankle is flexible. I was concerned about them getting dirty because they are so white, but they actually clean up very nicely. Additionally, the sizing was accurate for me. I've now had them for almost a year and wear them often; so, these boots have been a really good buy." —Expert Shopper

Get them from Target for $29.99+ (originally $99.99; available in sizes 6–11, wide sizes, and 10 colors).

Promising review: "I am in love with these boots! First, they are great-looking. I've worn them 10 times in the past two and a half weeks and received compliments five times. They look amazing with leggings, maxi dresses, and short skirts. The ankle doesn't gap and is adjustable with laces, but they actually open by way of a zipper on the inside ankle. So, once you get them fitted to your arch and ankle, putting them on and taking them off is easy. I know, as I had to remove them for TSA at two airports. I've worn them in rain, slushy snow, sub-freezing temps, and 70-degree weather. So far, with a wipe of a cloth, they still look brand new. No scuffs and no cracks. Yesterday, I took them off after 31 hours of travel, involving a number of airports and lots of walking, and they still felt good." —Alice

Get them from Amazon for $32.19+ (available in sizes 5.5–10 and three colors).

Promising reviews: "My new favorite boots. I put these boots on and instantly felt unstoppable. The fit is perfect, and the heel height provides just the right amount of lift without causing discomfort to my feet. The boot quality is amazing — sturdy, yet stylish. Plus, they have just enough warmth for chilly days. Definitely my go-to pair now!" —Esvet

Get them from Amazon for $48.73+ (available in sizes 5.5–10 and four colors/styles).

Promising review: "Perfect boot — Stylish and comfortable. The boot allows my foot to bend fully and correctly as I walk, while other full leather boots prevented the full bend of my ankle. Great purchase and easy to put on and take off!" —Anne M

Promising review: "They are super comfortable and stylish !! I bought a size 5 … normally wear a 5.5 … they fit perfectly." —D Car

Promising reviews: "Love the boots! Beautiful and comfy!" —Anonymous

"I just received these from Zappos and was so thrilled with the style, I immediately put them on! They are classic. The leather is soft, and the inside lining is of good quality. Most importantly, the sole is substantial. Not in a bad way, I am just coming from an old pair of boots that would make my socks wet the second I stepped in any snow. I also had a few odd things I was looking for in new boots: they stand up and stay up on my calves, and you don't have to constantly pull them up. Secondly, I also wanted to be able to cross my legs without having any embellishments make it uncomfortable. The minimal zipper and clasp are out of the way!" —Lindsay

Get them from Zappos for $199.99 (available in sizes 4–12 and two colors).

Promising review: "Best boots ever! These boots are so beautiful and comfortable. The price was a little high, but I think the quality is there for the price.

Promising review: "I love everything about these boots. They are well made, very fashionable, and comfortable.
