1. A pair of basic round-toe pumps with a mid-sized heel that'll look fancy at special events while being comfy enough to wear all night long — yes, that means buh-bye flip-flops that you bring to every wedding.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I'm shocked with my purchase! I needed a pair of heels to wear to a wedding. Seeing as I don't get out much I did not intend on spending a lot of money on them. Not only do these shoes look amazing, but they feel amazing as well! I was in them not only during the reception, but the ceremony as well. They were so comfortable and did not leave blisters or leave my feet sore. I danced in them all night and will keep this brand in mind the next time I need to purchase any shoes." —Jennifer Hanns

Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in sizes 5–12 and 21 colors/styles).

"True to size! I was worried they’d be a bit tight as I have very wide feet, but they fit great. Comfortable as well. Walked several miles in them without breaking them in. For the price, you really can’t beat them!" —Lisa O.

Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in women's sizes 5–11, including wide, and eight colors).

3. A pair of Adidas Cloudform running sneakers because training for a race is challenging enough — make it at least a bit less painless with these lightweight, breathable, and cushy sneakers.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I walk a lot. I’m on my feet a lot, and I’m in my 60s. It’s really hard to find comfortable walking shoes. Most do not hold up to their claims in my opinion. I now own two pairs of these. I walk an average of 3–5 miles a day and spend a lot of time working in my flower beds. I wear them for an average of 12 hours a day. These have held up really well to the work I put them through, and they are so comfortable. Highly recommended!" —PN

Get it from Amazon for $53+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 20 colors).

4. A pair of faux-wood Dr. Scholl's slides that'll go with your iconic Nantucket vibe while feeling as cozy as the worn-in slides you've had for years now.

Promising review: "I bought these to match a hot pink dress I purchased and they matched the dress perfectly!

Would definitely purchase in other colors!" —Mariana

Get it from Amazon for $18.36+ (available in sizes 5–13 and in 14 colors).

6. A soft rubber sole slipper so you can enjoy the cozy feeling of socks with the protection and grip of a traditional slipper.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "Hard to find a woman's slipper that isn't too frilly, fluffy, puffy and has a back on it. These fit like a glove. Love the nonskid sole seems durable. It's the best slipper I've owned. Buying as Xmas gifts for everyone this year! They are so comfortable and warm. If I want a slip-on it converts to that. But as a woman, I find that most slippers either look like bedtime Uggs, slide off the feet, or have fur everywhere. These are amazing. Don't hesitate. I bought smaller than my size because my slippers tend to stretch out and then flop around. These are snug, but they are so soft it doesn't bother me." —Jodi

Get it from Amazon for $15.74+ (available in women's sizes 4.5–13, men's sizes 3–11, and 28 colors).

Promising review: "LOVE THESE SHOES!!! I have a wider foot and can’t wear many trendy shoes, but I am in LOVE with these!! They are truly the most comfortable pair of sandals I have ever owned, no exaggeration. I wore them for an entire wedding, no complains. Walked two miles in them on vacation, no complaints. ran through a lightning storm in them, NO COMPLAINTS!! I would run a marathon in these if I needed to. Ankle strap is comfortable and stretches enough to put my foot in but fits just right to hold the shoe on comfortably. The two foot straps don’t stretch, but aren’t too tight. These feel even better than name brand shoes! I LOVE THEM!!! BUY THEM!!" —tyler fischer

Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in sizes 6–11, including wide sizes, and five styles).

9. A pair of pointed-toe mules for folks who prefer closed-toed shoes but still want a bit of ventilation. These mules have a wider footbed than most pointed-toe shoes, meaning they'll feel more like slippers and less like toe constrictors.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I usually have a hard time finding comfortable and cute shoes that fit my wide feet, but these are perfect. They get comfier every time I wear them, and I wear them three to four times a week for work. My feet don’t slide, and they don’t make any weird noises." —Tiffany P

Free People

Promising review: "These are truly the most comfortable sandals I have ever owned. They break in really quickly with the soft leather but also keep their shape really well.

Get it from Free People for $160+ (available in sizes 5–10.5 and 10 colors).

13. A black pointed-toe pump because it's the type of basic, versatile shoe that belongs in every wardrobe. The footbed forms to your foot, while the leather stretches easily for a perfect fit. I have these shoes, and I can easily spend hours in them without feeling an ounce of pain.

amazon.com

Promising review: "These fit and feel so good on my wide width foot. The arch is not extremely defined, but enough is there to make my foot happy. These do NOT hurt my feet at all. I think I could play basketball in them :) LOVE them!" —CC

amazon.com

15. A handmade pair of leather huarache sandals you'll *definitely* want to collect in every hue. These shoes hold onto your ankle to provide support during long walks and even have a platform that adds cushion!

Macarena Collection/Etsy

Promising review: "Shoes are so cute and comfortable. I bought the black and I actually want to get other colors. Perfect for skirts, summer dresses, capris, and jeans. I will take them when I return to Italy. Love them!" —Melissa McCormick

Get it from Macarena Collection on Etsy for $48.67 (originally $64.90; available in sizes 5–10 and in more colors/styles here). 

16. A pair of low wedge flats, because finding shoes that accommodate wide feet can be tricky — throwing a high arch into the mix can make things even trickier! I personally have wide feet with a high arch, and I always recommend a roomy shoe with just a liiiiiittle bit of wedge for extra support!

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "Really good quality and comfort shoe. I have wide feet and these are really comfortable. I went up half a size and they fit perfect. Great to dress up or down." —C

Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 16 colors).

17. A pair of chunky sandals for helping you release your inner Daria. These are perfect for anyone who wants to serve '90s vibes but needs something less intricate to emulate the decade. These shoes are super simple to throw on and add an immediate edgy (and cute!) touch to your 'fit.

amazon.com

Promising review: "These shoes are a very cool closet staple to have and reasonable price! There is not a ton of stretch to the strappy part which I like so my foot isn't sliding too far forward when I walk. 

If you have wider feet, I would recommend going a size up? Although it's listed to be memory foam, it's not that cushion-y, but does mold to the shape of your sole/heel the more you wear them. 

The only con is that the bottom of the shoe can be slippery on bare floors or tile so tread carefully. I went outside and shuffled the sandals a few times on the sidewalk to help these shoes have more grip. Alternative is to spray the bottom or buy grip stickers for the bottoms." —N. Paul

Get it from Amazon for $39.98 (available in sizes 6–11 and also in taupe).

18. A patent leather loafer, because what's better than wearing sneakers to the office? Wearing work-appropriate shoes that feel as comfortable as sneakers, that's what!

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I ordered these loafers because I had to stand for hours on end during a project for work. Ohhhh the comfort and support, your feet will love how soft they feel. Bouncy too! Feels like you can jump and bounce around. They made a difference wearing them compared to any other footwear. I've gotten lots of compliments, and they look great, which is such a plus. Usually, comfortable loafers don't look stylish, not with these loafers." —Ms. Rizzo

Get it from Amazon for $55 (available in sizes 6–11, including wide fits, and in three colors).

19. A pair of Anne Klein wedge pumps that distribute pressure evenly throughout the entire footbed — not just on the heel or sole. This is great if you want an elevated look with a cozy shoe feel.

Get it from Amazon for $49 (available in sizes 5—11 and two colors).

Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and in eight colors).

21. A pair of wedge sandals that feel like actual clouds, despite the fact that they *look* like ultra-chic uncomfortable shoes. I wore these while on a trip to Croatia a few years back, and they SAVED my feet as I trotted all day along ancient Roman (aka marble) streets!

amazon.com

Promising review: "If you'd like to add 3 inches to your height without the dangers of toppling over, you've got to try these platform sandals! They're absurdly comfortable, soft, lightweight, and breathable. I've walked miles in these. The open strap design visually elongates the length of the leg. Also, there are lots of colors to choose from, and you will! I've got three and counting." —CC Mac

Get it from Amazon for $54.13+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and in two colors).

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I love these sandals. They are my new favorite pair. They are so cute and comfortable, absolutely love the braided suede straps.

I cant wait to buy another pair, just with a little different look to expand my options when picking my foot wear for the day." —Shawna

Get it from Amazon for $42.31+ (available in sizes 5–12 and in 10 colors).

Promising review: "Love this shoe- I’m a big Sperrys fan! I’d own this shoe in every color possible if possible. Super comfortable." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide fits, and eight colors).

24. A cute pair of boat shoes that *feel* like sneakers while helping you nail your coastal grandma aesthetic.

amazon.com

Promising review: "These shoes are amazingly lightweight, even though the soles are very robust. The tread has a deep grip but tapers off on the side for a more classic deck-shoe look. They came with both white and tan shoestrings, so I guess that switching to white would add more contrast. The red fabric uppers have blue undertones which look great with jeans. Nice contrast stitching. The vamp is medium-high, soft, and flexible. Did I mention comfortable? Plenty of toe room and support all around the foot. Arch support is better than most shoes of this style. Overall, a great shoe at a good price." —AvidReader

Get it from Amazon for $64.99 (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and four colors).

25. And a pair of sporty sandals with adjustable straps, because your everyday sandal should look good *and* feel comfy! The cushioned sole means you can wear these during long walks with your pup or while running errands at the grocery store.

amazon.com

Promising review: "These shoes are so comfy, lightweight, and have a great sole (probably great soul, too). They have excellent arch support. I wear 8.5 but found the size 9 a good fit as well. Sketchers makes a super product, and these shoes are no exception." —S. Jones

Get them from Amazon for $49.42+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide fits, and in 12 colors).
