Promising review: "This pair of sneakers exceeded my expectations. It looks really good and went well with my outfits. I bought it for my trip, and it was super comfortable for a day of walking around. I highly recommend." —Abiola Ajadi

Get them from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and in 22 colors). 

Promising reviews: "This is my second pair, with the first ones lasting a long time. I highly recommend these to my friends. They are 'snug' on the feet, but not tight, meaning they don't feel like they are going to fall off. The grip on the soles is good for a water aerobics class. They dry quickly and are ready for use the next day. This particular color (peach) is very nice, not harsh like a black or something." —GPerry

"I used these while snorkeling and climbing through caves and crevasses. Fit comfortably on your feet for normal walking and seamlessly transition into the water. Dries easy, stays put on your foot snug and comfortably. I do find that sand can get stuck in the shoe, but let's be real, sand gets stuck everywhere. Comfortable, practical and fashionable." —Laura

Get them from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes 6–11 and 29 colors). 

Promising review: "I bought these shoes for a two-week trip to Southern Europe. They were perfect!!! I was a little bit hesitant to buy them, but after reading some of the reviews, I decided to give it a try. I don’t regret it. We had two rainy days, and I was so happy I had these shoes. I could walk in the rain, and my feet were dry and warm. Definitely 5 stars." —Mariana Suarez

Get it from Nisolo for $99+ (originally $138; available in sizes 5–11 and in 10 colors).

Promising review: "Very comfortable. I just received my second pair. I love these shoes. I have washed them in the washer several times, and they come out like new. They last a long time (have had two years) for the money. My little toe was wearing thin, so I decided I needed another pair. Hard to give up the old pair...keep for chores around the house." —customer

Promising review: "Why did you pick this product vs. others? Second purchase of these comfortable shoes that are perfect for someone with a wide toe box due to bunions. It completely and comfortably covers that area without rubbing or chafing. Dressy but also perfect for casual wear. Wipes clean." —Judy Bullock

Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and nine styles). 

Promising review: "This is the second time I’ve purchased these exact shoes. They are easy to get on and feel very comfortable to walk in, even for long periods. They don’t rub on the back of the heel. I love them in the summer, and the neutral gray goes with any outfit." —Julia A

Get them from Amazon for $44.97+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide fits, and 10 colors).

Promising review: "Lightweight, comfortable, and good support. Wore these on a tour vacation where lots of walking happened — including lots of cobblestone. I wore thin cotton footie socks with these and had no issues. These were comfortable from the start, with no breaking-in needed. They also clean up very nicely in the washing machine." —StallisChelle

BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life. We center readers over revenue, recommend products with authenticity (using real experiences, not ad-speak), and reflect our diverse audience, inclusive of a variety of price points, people, and needs. We cut through fake deals, favor useful info over glossy fluff, and recommend both budget and splurge options with context so you can decide what’s right for you — and still have a little fun along the way.
