I am a contributor who has been writing for Buzzfeed Shopping for five years by finding fashion, beauty, and home products to help you ~romanticize~ your life.

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

1. A loafer and sneaker hybrid that'll keep you comfy all day and all night long. This is so easy to pair with any cute and casual look, personally I love to wear these with dresses!

Nordstrom Rack

I have two pairs of these, and I love them so much. They are super comfortable and super cute and have never given me blisters. I have worn these in NYC all day and all night, and they never hurt my feet!

Promising review: "I bought these shoes for a conference. I figured they’d be comfortable walking around the hotel. Well, my daughter had other plans, and we walked the entire length of the Smithsonian complex. The shoes held up. I cannot say the same for my hair." —FLZoe’s Mom

Price: $23.99+ (originally $130+; available in sizes 5–11 and seven colors)

2. A pair of slip-on sneakers because you're over retying your laces every 100 steps. I love a shoe that you can slip on and go, because it doesn't require any extra time.

Nordstrom Rack

Price: $54.97(originally $80; available in sizes 5–11 and two colors) 

3. A lightweight mesh Mary Jane if you want to show off your pedi without exposing your toes to the elements. Complete with a cushioned footbed, you're going to love wearing these all day long.

Nordstrom Rack

Price: $59.97 (originally $99.95; available in sizes 6–11 and four colors) 

4. A pair of sneakers with a lot of support because feet do, in fact, deserve this. These will make you look put together, no matter how last-minute you threw together this fit. Plus, you could never have too many white sneakers.

Nordstrom Rack

I own two pairs of these, and I love them. I can walk for miles, and they remain uber comfy, and I've never gotten blisters with these. I love how casual these are as well, and I often pair them with dresses. 

Promising review: "So comfy! I was in search of the most comfortable walking shoes for traveling and came across these on TikTok. I tried them on, and they’re super comfy. I can’t wait to wear them in Japan." —Jovete E.

Price: $19.99+ (originally $110; available in sizes 6–11, including wide widths, and 10 colors) 

5. A pair of Mary Jane mules, because honestly, these look super freaking cool. Sometimes you just want something cute that's easy to slide on and off. These would look so cute with any dresses or maxi skirts you're planning on wearing this summer.

Nordstrom Rack

Promising review: "These shoes are so cute with ankle jeans and pants. Super comfortable and cute. A classy Mary Jane slip-on style loafer. Would highly recommend." —Jlucaslillady

Price: $64.99+ (originally $99+; available in sizes 5–12, and two colors) 

6. Aheeled cutout sandal that'll have you feeling inspired to come up with different ways to style them. Reviewers love them for weddings and other events that require you to be on your feet for hours.

8. A pair of mules that look like loafers for the office, because backless shoes are what you're super into right now. Modern and elevated, you might need to grab these in a few colors, so you can wear them every time you go to the office.

Nordstrom Rack

Super supportive (I'm 50+, so that was very important) and never a blister! I also bought super expensive Paul Green sandals (also amazing but close to $400), and these are JUST AS COMFORTABLE/DURABLE! Bought many colors this year. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!" —Paula A.

Price: $44.96+ (originally $95; available in sizes 6–11 and 12 colors)

Nordstrom Rack

Promising review: "I’m surprised by many of the reviews I’ve seen for this shoe. It’s been a great purchase for me. It's very comfortable and looks great! The wrinkled material isn’t a design flaw but part of the design. You can see it in the photos when you zoom in, which is what I always do before buying. I purchased the light blue and love it! I’m definitely buying these in whatever other color I can find!" —NikeLuvr

Price: $69.97 (originally $104.99; available in sizes 5–12 and eight colors)

Nordstrom Rack

Reviewers say that these run big. 

Promising review: "I'll start by saying that I have problem feet. They hurt in nearly every type of shoe I wear. I was torn between this style and the Samba Janes, but I couldn't bring myself to spend $100 on this type of shoe. I'm glad I went with the Barreda Mary Janes because they're not only cute on, but they're super comfortable to walk and stand in. My feet have a tendency to swell, and I didn't have any issues with the straps digging in. I have normal/wide feet, and the width is fine for me; I can see how these might be too wide for someone with narrow feet. I ordered my normal size and the length is perfect." —AOkayyy

Price: $54.97+(originally $70; available in sizes 5–11 and three colors) 

21. A platform sandal for any events that are a little more buttoned-up. These have padded heels, making them great for days that turn into nights that never end.

Price: $34.96+(originally $79; available in sizes 5–12, including wide widths, and four colors) 

22. A pair of Franco Sarto espadrilles, because you've been looking for a shoe that can be worn both super casually and super formally. You'll love rocking these to brunch or to your fifth cousin's baby shower. 

Nordstrom Rack

Promising review: "These shoes fit perfectly. They were comfortable to walk in and looked great." —Anonymous

Price: $59.97 (originally $110+; available in sizes 5–11 and three colors) 

23. A pair of Merrell sneakers for your next big summer hiking adventure. Grippy and breathable, with shock-absorbing cushioning, so you can conquer the last mile like it's your first. 

Nordstrom Rack

Promising review: "Great hiking shoe, very supportive, very comfortable….. Highly recommend" —Kristidhazlett

Price: $59.97(originally $140; available 6.5–11)

24. A Mary Jane sneaker that has actual ~arch-support~ and a shock-absorbing footbed! Not only are these super cute, but if you're planning on walking a million steps in one day on your next vacay, they are also going to be your new best friend. 

Nordstrom Rack

Promising review: "I have been wearing these shoes since I received them because they are so comfortable. They do not pinch my toes and have great support. I have a closet full of shoes and can't wear 99% of them. Going to order them in every color I can find." —Picky Person

Price: $52.98 (originally $79.99; available in sizes 5–12, including wide widths, and four colors) 

25. A platform sneaker that you can slide on and off as easily. These give you a little height, have memory foam, and are made of faux suede — what's not to love?

Nordstrom Rack

Promising review: "The first time I clicked through to review this shoe, I instead ordered two more colors! Enough said? Been searching for that perfect, oh so comfy, slip-on? Not too sole-heavy, not too tight, enough give when in motion, but stylish too. Look no more! My foot is on the wider side, so I ordered in M and W. The W went back." —My 2 Cents

Price: $42.48+ (originally $109.99; available in sizes 6.5–11, including wide widths) 

26. A wedge sandal to give you a little extra height this season. This shoe is what would happen if a normal sandal and an espadrille had a baby, making it a great summer shoe. 

Nordstrom Rack

Promising review: "These are the most comfortable heeled shoes I have ever owned. They are higher than what I have ever worn, but don’t feel unsteady, and they are very cushioning on my feet. Love just walking around without my feet getting achy and tired. So happy with this purchase." —snl714

Price: $44.97+ (originally $79.95; available in sizes 5–11 and five colors) 

27. A minimal sandalthat'll make every outfit look a bit cooler. It has a cushioned and flexible bed, making it a good option for wandering around whatever city you end up in this summer, even if it's just your city.
