I traveled for seven weeks with two pairs of shoes, and they’re both on this list.

I’m a resident writer on the BuzzFeed Shopping team covering a variety of topics in a fun and mindful way, including travel, home, beauty, gift guides, and anything that’ll add just a bit of whimsy into people’s lives.

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

Promising reviews: "These are a perfect sneaker for leggings, dresses, shorts, anything really. This is my third pair. The memory foam makes these sneakers feel like you're walking on clouds. I have been buying a pair every spring for the last three years. They hold up to all types of weather." —Danielle Tricomi

"These shoes were recommended as comfortable walking shoes. They absolutely are the best! I bought these shoes to have a stylish, casual shoe for a NYC/DC seven-day tour. I walked an average of 7–8 miles a day, even in a downpour. Not a single blister or pain of any kind. If you are searching for stylish, casual, and comfortable, then these are it. Easy on and off, water-resistant, and coordinates with all outfits." —S. Lee

Get them from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in sizes 4–14, including wide sizes, and in 18 styles). 

They're also machine washable! Btw — the reviewer below paired these with a cropped denim look and I'm so obsessed I'm tempted to order a pair myself. 

Promising review: "I bought these ballet flats on a whim about one to two days before leaving for a two-week trip to Europe. I walked about 6-10 miles PER DAY in these shoes for my entire trip and never got a single blister or had that dreaded 'heel slip' that you often experience wearing ballet flats. They were so comfortable and held up in excellent condition (which was surprising given the affordable price). I love how versatile and easy to style they are — perfect with dresses, denim, etc. So happy I found these! Will likely be buying another pair in a second color!" —Natasha

Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in sizes 6–10 and 14 styles). 

Promising review: "Literally the BEST shoes ever! So comfy. I spent a whole day at Disney with no complaints. Normally, I'm tired after two hours of walking in the park, but with these babies, I was up and walking all day with no problem." —Katherine

Get them from Amazon for $44.95+ (available in sizes 5–11 and five colors). 

Promising review: "Awesome boots! Super stylish and amazingly comfortable. I feel like my feet are in clouds. And so warm! I pair them with my Smartwool socks, and my feet are happy! I’m a size 6 in most shoes, but generally I size up for hiking boots, and these are no different. I ordered a 6.5 and they were perfect. I ordered the brown pair with the red laces, and they are eye-catching. Received many compliments when I wear them. Great boots!" —VegasgirlClaudia

Get them from Amazon for $99.95+ (available in sizes 5–11 and three colors).

Promising reviews: "Like walking on a cloud. These are the most comfortable sandals I have ever owned. I have plantar fibroma, which makes wearing shoes extremely uncomfortable. These are great, providing arch support and a comfortable walk. My feet stay in place without sliding side to side. The soles don't squeak when walking on polished floors. I bought two colors and, for the price, may add a few more." —S. R. F. 

"I have six pairs of Birkenstocks and just didn't want to spend that kind of money this time. These sandals are actually more comfortable than my Birkenstocks. They have added padding on the insole. I think they were almost 1/3 of the price. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality." —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $34.99 (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 20 styles).

Promising review: "Reaching for these sandals more and more because they’re comfy, cute, and elevate my outfits! They didn’t require any breaking in and I’ve worn them for an entire day out and had no issues with long-term wear. Fit was true to size. Going to get another color since I love them so much!" —Nidhi Patel

Get them from Amazon for $23.09+ (available in sizes 6–10, in two heel heights, and 16 colors — not all colors available in all sizes). 

Promising review: "I normally cannot wear flats because they give me terrible blisters on the back of my feet. These didn't! Bought these in nude for a city vacation with a lot of walking, but where sandals aren't necessarily worn, and these were perfect! They obviously don't have the support of sneakers, but I am so happy to finally have a cheap pair of flats that don't give me blisters. I did break them in with thin socks on around my house before wearing them out and when possible, I wear them with little sock liners. Also — I was able to fold these in half like Tieks and fit them in a semi-small purse to change into to dance at a wedding! Score!" —Kate

Get them from Amazon for $20.10+ (available in sizes 5–15, including wide sizes, and 20 styles). 

Promising review: "I bought these boots only a couple of days before we left for a trip to Boston. It was our first time there and I knew we were going to be walking a lot, so I was nervous about breaking these in while *on* the trip. But, I read a couple of reviews that said they were great for being on your feet all day. Well, the reviews were CORRECT! We walked for a minimum of six hours for five consecutive days and these boots were AMAZING the entire time!! It was also very cold (anywhere from 2–20 degrees) and they kept my feet warm. And they did great in the snow! Not to mention they’re very cute! I highly recommend these boots!" —Kacee

Get them from Amazon for $45.99+ (available in sizes 6–12, include wide sizes, and 11 colors). 

These are also made from recycled materials! 

Promising reviews: "I never write reviews but these shoes deserves it. The TikTok girlies were correct — these are the perfect shoes for a European vacation. I wore them almost exclusively during my trip to Italy — Venice, Florence and Rome. Over 30k steps in Rome per day. Goes with everything, comfortable, and easy to wipe off at the end of the day! I did spray it with Scotchgard fabric spray just to keep it a little more protected and waterproofed. Buy these shoes!!" —Ngo-Yip Family

Get them from Amazon for $64.99+ (available in sizes 4–13, including wide and extra-wide sizes, and 30 styles). 

Get them from Vivaia for $119+ (available in sizes 5–11, three colors, and three other heel styles). 

Promising reviews: "I bought these shoes for my trip to Egypt and Morocco. They are the most comfortable pair of walking shoes I have ever worn. I trekked all over Egypt, and Morocco, and even hiked some of Petra in these sandals. Omg, they are like walking on clouds. Best on dry surfaces, can get a tad slippery when wet. I highly recommend this pair of shoes. Also don’t size up. I bought mine one size too big, but it still works for me." —Sheesh

Get them from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and six styles).

Promising review: "I love these sandals. I got soo many compliments when I wear them. They are incredibly comfortable. They are lightweight, they have a great padded footbed, and I wore them walking around on vacation all day. The colors is great and will go with anything. They are quiet and not clunky when I walk. I loved them so much, I bought more in other colors and styles." —Kristin

Get them from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and in many colors).

Promising review: "I never write reviews, but had to tell everyone how wonderful these wedge sandals are. I wore them every night on our vacation. They are so comfortable and lightweight. The bands are stretchy fabric so easy to put on/take off. They went with every outfit. Love them!" —David Herrick

Get them from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in sizes 5–11 and nine colors). 

Promising review: "These shoes were so comfortable and they were perfect for my bachelorette trip. I danced the night away in these shoes and wore them every night to dinner on the cruise and never had to change out of these shoes.  For them to be heels, they were very comfortable!" —Jamie

Get them from Amazon for $26.09+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 16 colors). 

Promising review: "I have been wearing Docs for years now, and this pair has to take first place for comfort. They're incredibly cute and versatile, can be dressed up or down, and just like any other pair are faithfully durable. Docs always run big so I sized a full size down and still comfortably wear them with thin-thick socks. I brought them on a long trip, wore them in various weather conditions like rain/snow/forest trails, and they worked great." —Stacy Cruz

Get them from Amazon for $120.53+ (available in sizes 6–11). 

Promising review: "I live in the desert and noticed our upcoming trip to London had rain in the forecast nearly every day. I didn’t want to walk around in wet tennis shoes, and we were planning a trip with heavy walking. I have problems with plantar fasciitis, so I was skeptical, I usually buy expensive, supportive shoes. But I took a chance. These boots did not disappoint. I ended up wearing them every day in London. They were very comfortable, my feet stayed dry, they were super cute and the best part, ZERO foot pain. We walked a lot, 7–8 miles a day. I will put these in my closet for other rainy-day trips!" —volvomom
