1. Waterproof Kodiak leather boots if your style is hiker meets city. Comfort, durability, and sophistication. These boots truly do have it all!

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising reviews: "Absolutely love these boots. I've had them for over three years now, and they still are amazing — even on all the hikes I've been on." —Kindle Customer 

"Awesome boots! Super stylish and amazingly comfortable. I feel like my feet are in clouds. And so warm! I pair them with my smart wool 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. I received many compliments when I wore them. Great boots!" —VegasgirlClaudia

Get them from Amazon for $50.21+ (available in sizes 5–11 and three colors).

2. A pair of no-fuss machine-washable Allbirds flats since they're made from lightweight, breathable eucalyptus fibers to keep you feeling cool as a cucumber.

Allbirds

Promising review: "This is my fifth pair of Allbirds, and they are still going strong! My first pair lived through years of 10-hour clinic days and three countries. My second pair made it to all seven continents and emergency deliveries before they met destruction by my cat. Can’t wait to see where we will go and do next. My feet are still in love with these shoes!!" —Patricia P.

Get them from Allbirds for $100 (available in sizes 5–11 and in 10 colors).

3. A pair of knit sneakers that'll make your feet feel like they're being brought into the coziest and comfiest hug. Because they're made of stretchy, breathable fabric, your toes will have enough space to splay out. Scared your gym feet will cause a bit of a stench? These also have cushiony, moisture-wicking, and odor-reducing insoles!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

One reviewer even says these sneakers feel "the exact same" as the Adidas Cloudfoam sneakers!

Promising review: "I bought these shoes after losing my lower leg in a crash. I needed something that is grippy without being sticky, cushioned and supportive, yet easy to slip on both my real foot and the prosthetic one. These are perfect. I wear them all the time in the house. They are lightweight for a suitcase and my 'go-bag.' The upper shoe is stretchy and fits over the prosthetic easily, and I can tighten it with the ties for the other foot. I had no idea what I needed when I ordered these while still in the hospital, and now I wear them all the time. They are machine-washable. My pair is two years old and looks new." —Dianamarie

Get them from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes 6–10 and 15 colors).

4. Strappy pumps for a sharp look you'll wanna rock every single day. And who could blame you? These flexible shoes have stretchy elastic panels so that they fit you perfectly.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These were my wedding shoes, and I’ve worn them to work many times, and even to a dance class! They’re extremely comfortable and have lasted me two years. The only reason I need to get new ones is that I am unable to get stains out at this point. I will be ordering them again for sure!" —Lily

Get them from Amazon for $22.10+ (available in sizes 5–12, in wide widths, and 18 colors).

5. A pair of hardy Harley-Davidson lace-up boots if you came here to drink gasoline and intimidate other bikers...and you're all out of gasoline. Its uniquely spunky harness detailing will do allll the talkin' for ya. Oh, and don't worry! There's a full-length inside zipper because nobody really has time for all that.

Harley-Davidson

Promising review: "I've had this pair of boots for about five years, and I wear them every day. They have finally broken down after such a long and tough use of them. I did have to replace both zippers recently, otherwise they are perfect!!! I am beyond impressed! I've never had any kind of footwear be so reliable for so long. And I've also never received as many compliments as I have when I had on these boots!! They could sell these boots for so much more, and they would still be beyond worth it!!! I don't have a shoe obsession or even more than three pairs of shoes, but I would be more than happy to wear only these boots for the rest of my life!!!!!" —Coraf

Get them from Amazon for $149.95+ (available in sizes 5–11) and Harley-Davidson for $180 (available in sizes 5–11).

6. A pair of adventure-inspiring lace-up Timberland boots chock-full of all the bells and whistles you'd expect from this renowned brand. We've got premium leather, a padded collar, soft foam insoles, and rubber outsoles designed to handle most terrains. Plus, they're hawt!

Timberland

Promising review: "I've had these boots for five years, and I just replaced the soles. FIVE YEARS. I wore these almost every day for most of high school, several serving jobs (8+ hour shifts), a couple walking-intensive vacations, and I even hiked in them once! These were my first pair of Timbs, and I didn't realize just how durable they would be, but now I swear by them! I've beaten these poor boots to death, but they're still very comfortable and look great, so I'm hoping to get another couple of years out of them." —Cece

Get them from Amazon for $149.99 (available in sizes 5–11, two widths, and four colors) and Timberland for $130 (available in sizes 5.5–11, two widths, and two colors).

7. A pair of classic-looking slip-on shoes sure to pair well with most of your wardrobe. I can see it now. You, these shoes, blue jeans, an oversized sweater, and a smile that could melt snow.

DSW

Promising review: "I have worn these to work at least 1–2 days every week for at least four years. So comfortable and stylish with almost any outfit." —Helen525

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "This is my second pair of knee-high boots (I wore the first pair out from two years of everyday wear), and I'm enjoying them a great deal, especially since I can wear them over my pants. I've been getting a lot of compliments on them from perfect strangers, too." —Theresa Holmes

"I love these boots! They are really comfortable to wear. It feels like you're walking on insoles. The material is not cheap like that of many other shoes, which was a welcome relief." —Yana

Get them from Amazon for $137.95 (available in sizes 5–11 and three colors).

9. A pair of iconic Dr. Martens Chelsea boots that are not only effortlessly cool BUT ALSO effortless to pull on. These leather honeys feature visible stitching, and a lot of reviewers say they didn't need to break them in!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I ordered these boots around five years ago. They are still going strong. I love that they pull on, are super cute with absolutely everything, and are so durable." —amber

"Ordered these for my trip to Ireland because I had seen a review somewhere that they were perfect for walking around the city. Well, they were absolutely right. I wore these and walked around what felt like the entirety of Dublin, and my feet were comfortable the whole time. Also, because it's a Chelsea boot, they were easy to get on and off at the airport and didn't require any breaking in. HIGHLY recommend!" —Angelica Coronado

Get them from Amazon for $98.04+ (available in sizes 5–11).

10. High-top Blundstone Chelsea boots if you're all about looking like a cool, calm, and collected human (even if the anxiety goblins are raging inside). These classic but simultaneously à la mode boots are a great fall and winter investment because they're water-resistant, durable, lined with leather, and have great traction!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are my second pair of Blundstone boots. The first pair I got two years ago! I wear them often, and they are still going strong! Worth every penny! I just received my new pair in a different color. I wore them all day at work on my feet, and they hardly needed any breaking in! A tad hard to get on and off at first, but that is nothing compared to the mileage you will get out of these great boots!" —Melody

Get them from Amazon for $118.10+ (available in sizes 6–11 and eight colors).

11. A pair of rosy red, yee-haw-tastic Ariat cowboy boots whose block heels will help keep you on your toes (literally and figuratively) as you grapevine your way into a heel strut, which is followed by a cross shuffle, and then a mambo step at your monthly line dancing event.

Nordstrom

Promising review: "I love Ariat Boots! This pair is my fourth pair of Ariats. I have muscular calves and find it hard to fit western boots, but Ariat has quite a few pairs that fit me like a glove! I’m an 8.5 and bought a 9, which works perfectly for me. I love the distressed ivory color and the R toe. I think that the style goes well with both jeans and dresses. I have this pair in black and have worn them for the past two years, multiple times a month. Thank you, Ariat, for comfort and wearability in boots! I feel like they’re comparable in comfort to my athletic shoes! The inner sole is cushioned and adds a lot of support!" —Birdy

Get them from Amazon for $169.95+ (available in sizes 5.5–12, in wide widths, and eight colors) and Nordstrom for $179.95 (available in sizes 6–9.5).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Love these Teva sandals. I have a pair in black and have been wearing them for five years, walking great distances in them. They are great for protecting from the effects of hard surface walking." —Jan

Get them from Amazon for $34.43+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 24 colors/patterns).

13. A pair of sustainably made Dr. Scholl's ankle booties featuring a flexible construction that allows them to move fluidly with you (and not against you). Oh, and these cuties have anatomical cushioning and arch support — they really bring a lot to the table when you think about it.

Famous Footwear

Promising review: "I bought these booties a few years ago and they are still in great shape. I saw that they are available again, and I will be buying another pair. The only difference is that these have a silver zipper and mine have a gold zipper. These are comfy, cushiony, and cute. Dress it up or down, they go with anything. I wish that they made this exact boot in a high calf style with the zipper on the inner side of the leg." —Mac Baby

Get them from Amazon for $64.99 (available in sizes 6–11, wide widths, and two other styles) and Famous Footwear for $69.99 (available in sizes 6–13 and two colors).

14. A pair of classic hi-top Chucks if you're finally in the "pleasing your inner-child" part of adulthood. And you don't have to worry about looking like a teenager — or worse, a poser — since Converse have never (and will never) go out of style.

Famous Footwear

Promising review: "They have stuck with me for a few years; they're just great shoes, and their history is amazing! I 100% recommend these shoes for anyone out there. These are the best shoes and my favorite shoes out there. They have lasted me for a few years, and their style is amazing! Anyone looking for cute or trendy shoes, this is the one for you. You could even customize them. Please try out these shoes, they could be the perfect ones for you!" —HannahC

Get it from Famous Footwear for $64.99+ (available in sizes 9–14 and 29 styles).

15. A pair of chunky platform sneakers you'll wanna add to your music festival wardrobe immediately. And when you're not rocking out in the front row of a Chappell Roan set, you can still pair these with sundresses and shorts throughout the summer!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Note: Some reviewers suggest ordering one size down.

Promising review: "I always get asked where I got my shoes, and I get compliments from little girls and older women. These are my travel shoes; they are comfortable, make me taller (bonus), and the holographic design makes them look clean even when I know they're absolutely NOT. Three years with them, and I'm definitely buying a second pair now that I've run my first ones into the ground. Best shoes ever!" —SNES

Get them from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and 20 colors).

16. A pair of gray Merrell sheepskin-lined slip-ons — these no-nonsense/no-hassle shoes are made for easy livin'. Their suede uppers are water-resistant. They have shock-absorbing heel cushions. They've got sticky rubber outsoles that offer stability, no matter where you are. If you're asking yourself, "but are they slippers or outdoor shoes?" lemme ask you this: Por qué no los dos?

REI

Promising review: "I love these Encore Ice shoes! I have two pairs at the moment, and they have served me very well. With the lower heel counter, they are easy to get on and off. They have good arch support, and the furry lining helps to personalize the fit. I have worn them all day, every day, even in summer, unless it's extremely hot, since I tend to have cold feet. Now, after many years of constant use, they are beginning to show their age. I'll hang on to them, but want to get new ones to wear out" —Erlumpf

Get them from Amazon for $149.95 (available in sizes 5–12, wide widths, and 15 other colors) and REI for $150 (available in sizes 6–11).

17. A pair of Cushionaire cork footbed sandals with insoles made of suede and memory foam that form to your feet over time. Plus, the adjustable straps will give you an even more customized fit, so you'll feel like these were tailor-made just for you. Some reviewers even say that they are "so much comfier than Birkenstocks," which means you can get quality sandals at a fraction of the price of the more popular name brands! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "This is actually my third pair of these sandals. The last pair I had, I wore for seven years before one of the straps broke. No other sandal would last as long. Had to have a replacement pair! Fits as expected. Comfortable even with a higher than average arched foot. These provide support that a lot of sandals don't." —Tim&Jen

Get them from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes 5–12, two widths, and 21 colors).

18. A Western-inspired mid-calf slouchy boot because the sheriff is in town, folks! Be a prairie princess when you wear this with a dress, or modernize these boots with a pair of boyfriend jeans.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought these boots three years ago, and I'm wearing them while I write this review. At the time, I wanted a cute, durable, heeled boot that would go with lots of looks, but also hold up. Comfortable and a little western-looking. These boots have held up so well, have never been uncomfortable, and go with everything! They are my quick, slip-on boots when I'm running out the door. They have enough room at the top so I can tuck in any socks/pants with room to spare. I could run in these." —MKski

Get them from Amazon for $38.15+ (available in sizes 6–13 and two colors).

19. A pair of leather Dansko Mary Janes to ensure you stick within your job's dress code. This classic shoe features an integrated insole designed to give you all-day support. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Prettiest flats I’ve seen or worn. I bought these originally from a department store because the salesperson had them on. Wore them out after two years. Finally decided to buy a new pair. They are comfortable for 10-hour workdays. Also dressy enough for casual dresses." —Tigrelily

Get them from Amazon for $154.95+ (available in sizes 5.5–13, wide widths, and three colors).

20. A pair of Dr. Scholl's wedge sandals whose insole technology provides cushioning, comfort, and support. These strappy sandals are waiting to call your feet "home."

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought a black pair of these shoes from QVC and remember paying over $80 for them. Late-night shopping, wine, and a credit card do not usually turn out so well — but in this case, I got lucky and struck gold!! I have worn these on so many vacations, long walking days, and many nights out! When I realized my black pair was wearing out (still wearable!), I started thinking about how nice it would be if I could find the same pair; in shoe time, eight years is pretty long to find the same shoe! I typed in 'Dr Scholl's wedge snake skin sandals' into the Amazon search bar and found them!! Now, a lot of things can make a woman happy, but finding the 'perfect shoe' available in multiple colors and in your size!!?? That is like an amazing night on the town with good food, wine, friends, and dancing." —ORnurse49-UofMichigan

Get them from Amazon for $40.49+ (available in sizes 5–11 regular, wide widths, and four colors).
