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

1. A dainty leather sandalwith an asymmetrical strap and a teeny tiiiiny heel that will give you a little bit of elevation without killing your soles. And when the reviewers call them the "perfect" sandal, you know you're onto a winner. 

Madewell

Promising reviews: "Bought these to wear to a wedding. Love the updated strappy style. Surprisingly very comfortable. Would buy again." —DaisyAnne

Get them from Madewell for $59.99+ (originally $118; available in sizes 6–12 and in four colors).

2. Some Crocs wedges (yes, Crocs make wedges), because wedges are the perfect pair of shoes if you're not a heels girlie, but still want some extra height. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "These were perfect as reception shoes! Changed into these for a wedding I was a bridesmaid in. My dress was hemmed to the height of my heels, but these were the same height but wayyy more comfortable.

I danced the entire time and never even thought of my feet once." —Emily Erwin

"I had to get a pair of sandals for my brother's wedding, and I was worried because my feet hurt all the time and I wear nothing but tennis shoes, but these were amazing. I felt like I could walk in them all day. They are Crocs, so they are water-resistant, and honestly, no one is really going to know they are Crocs because they don’t look like them." —Abby Meador

Get them from Amazon for $39.95+ (available in sizes 2–11, nine colors, and several strap styles). 

3. An elastic-strap sandal that'll tailor to your feet and provide you with all-day comfort. They're also nonslip, which is perfect for clumsy people like me. Catch me zooming around in these bad boys for days on end. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Almost perfect! My only gripe with these sandals is that the sole could be a little wider, but they were still comfortable. I have terrible feet…bunions, wide, flat, a history of stress fractures…so it’s very difficult for me to find shoes, especially for fancy events. These stretched comfortably over my feet but felt secure. It never felt like they would fall off. The straps concealed my bunions without applying pressure. The gold sparkle made them dressy enough to get by at a black-tie optional wedding. Catholic wedding mass + 5 hours of dancing + after party with NO PAIN = 'nuff said!" —Mostly Maven

"Bought these for a white party at the beach and they're great! There is no arch support, which should be obvious from the photo and description (flat sandals), but the shoes are comfortable even after several hours of standing around, and they're really cute. These sandals can work with outfits ranging from totally casual to semi-elegant." —Jen G.

Get them from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes 5–11 and seven colors).

4. A pair of the *cutest* and *comfiest* Skechers cork wedges you'll never want to take off. They'll look adorable with everything from jeans to sundresses!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I was actually really surprised with how comfortable these were. I bought them to wear to a wedding, but I now find myself trying to find outfits that match them if I need to wear heels because I know they are going to be the most comfortable ones that I have!" —Rae may

Get them from Amazon for $37.25+ (available in sizes 5.5–12, including wide fits, and two colors).

5. A pair of bow-bedecked chunky heels, because whether you're headed to your bestie's destination wedding in Italy or are walking around London before heading to afternoon tea at The Ritz, these beauties will leave everyone asking, "AHH, are those designer?!" on repeat.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I was on my feet all day for a wedding in these shoes. They were incredibly comfortable, and I got compliments all night. The hot pink color is phenomenal. Great price for a fun statement shoe." —Claire 

Get them from Amazon for $27.54+ (available in sizes 6–11 and five colors).

6. Some peep-toe wedge sandals, because if you're wearing heels, they may as well be comfortable. The chunky wedge makes them a breeze to strut around in, and the ankle strap will keep your feet in place.

Amazon

Promising reviews: "I wore these to an all-white party. Was comfortable all night." —VISoftTouch

"I got these for a work trip that I knew I'd be on my feet all day, and these worked great — it was at an upscale event, and these worked great — comfy and classy, the best combination! And the shoe runs true to size." —mama edwards

Get them from Amazon for $26.98+ (available in sizes 6–10 and 11 colors).

7. A pair of comfy low pumps with a stylish (and supportive!) ankle strap so you can walk for miles on end while still looking super cute. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Best pair of shoes. I wore them to a party and kept them on the entire night. I usually end up changing into flip-flops, not with these shoes. Very comfortable." —Evy

Get them from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes 5–11, including wide fits, and 12 colors).

8.  A pair of attention-grabbing knee-high boots that would not look out of place in Sabrina Carpenter's closet. Team these with your favorite mini dress for a look that screams 🎵 that's that me, espresso! 🎵  

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I purchased these for a 60’s-themed birthday party. Comfortable and attractive, perfect for my outfit." —zoe rawlins

Get them from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in sizes 5–14 and six colors).

9. A pair of Western-style ankle boots that will look as flashy on the dance floor but also offer all-night comfort because you came for the hoedown. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I purchased these boots for a party because I wanted to stand out, and they didn’t disappoint. They were a little hard to get on with cotton socks, but once I put on some dress socks, they worked out fine. They were very comfortable, the heel wasn’t too high, and so I danced in them all evening. I received many compliments from women as well as men. I was very surprised! I’m definitely getting the black ones as well." —Iris K.

Get them from Amazon for $58.98 (available in sizes 6–11 and three colors).

10. A pair of comfy and flexible ballet flats to give your feet some sweet, sweet relief from stiff and uncomfy shoes. They're also perfect for popping in your bag as a backup when you'll inevitably want to change out of your heels after an hour.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These shoes are very comfortable, I wore them all night at a party. Highly recommend them. The appearance was very nice. Color exactly like in the picture and very light." —Teresa P Hernandez

Get them from Amazon for $14.50+ (available in sizes 5–15, including wide widths, and eight colors).

11. A pair of braided chunky heels, if you're happy to answer the question, "Where did you get your shoes?!" several times per day. They're perfect for everyday wear and are nice enough for all of those fun formal occasions. Plus, with over a dozen colors to choose from, it's only right that you treat yourself to many pairs.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Very comfortable and I’m a shoe snob! Worn out of the box all night for my cousin’s wedding!" —acabump

Get them from Amazon for $23.69+ (available in sizes 6–10 and 15 colors). 

12. A pair of gorgeoussandalsthat any boho lover needs to add to their shoedrobe. The rhinestones bring a touch of glam, and the cushiony, non-slip sole means you can wear them allllll day long.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love these sandals. I get plantar fasciitis very easily, so when I needed shoes for my daughter’s wedding, I wanted something pretty and dressy enough but still comfortable. I loved these sandals. I wore them all day and didn’t have sore feet, as they are soft and have cushioning. So simple yet dressy enough to wear with a simple dress." —Gretchen Raines

Get them from Amazon for$25.64+ (available in sizes 4.5–11 and five colors).

13. A pair of breathable pointed-toe mules for living your best non-heel life. One reviewer says these are more comfortable than those sold by designer brands. Spend less money on shoes and more on Aperol spritzes and pizza while you're in Italy for your friend's wedding. It just makes sense.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Wow, a must buy! These shoes have an expensive look without the price tag. The shoes were bought for a wedding because of their patent-leather look, and they were so comfortable. Even after wearing them all day without breaking them in, my feet didn't hurt. I was also pleasantly surprised when I opened the box to find that each shoe had its own dust cover. I will definitely buy these shoes again!" —Kat Sas

Get them from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes 5–12, four colors, and various materials)

14. A pair of boho-chic platform wedges with pearls draped across the top, because your charm starts at your head but goes down to the literal tips of your toes.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are the cutest shoes! And comfy too!! I wore them to a wedding, and my feet didn't hurt, and they looked amazing!!" —Missy

Get them from Amazon for $27.35+ (available in sizes 5–10 and in seven colors/styles).

15. A pair of ballet flats for an ~on pointe~ look. The unique all-over floral cutouts add an extra special flair, too.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "My feet and back no longer enjoy heels. Flats are now my go-to shoes. I bought these in silver as backup shoes for my son’s wedding a few years ago. I now have them in six colors. They are cushioned and very comfortable. The cutouts and scalloped edge are cute and not boring." —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes 5–11 and six colors).

16. A pair of espadrille flatform sandals reviewers can't get enough of because they're so comfortable without break-in time *and* work as THAT go-to shoe. You know, the pair you'll always want to wear on beach trips, to outdoor brunch with your crew, and street festivals.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These fit great! Wore them all day and night for a wedding and was so comfortable. They're lightweight but durable. The style is great and could be dressed up or casual." —Chelsey

Get them from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in sizes 5.5–11 and five colors).

17. A pair of chunky block platform sandals to ~elevate~ your look even when the last thing you want to do is wear a pair of heels. These are comfortable, secure, and will make a statement.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Four words: YOU NEED THESE SHOES!!!! As a wide-foot girly (aka my feet are hobbit feet), it’s so hard for me to find heels/platforms/sandals that don’t immediately hurt my forefoot, cut into my feet, or give me blisters after two minutes. Recently, I wore these shoes to a wedding where I had them on for 8+ hours, danced, grooved, ran, walked, you name it, and my feet did not hurt ONE TIME, nor did I have any blisters or cuts by the end of the night. These shoes are amazing quality for the price, so cute (I got lots of compliments), and well worth the buy!!!!! I’ve been through my fair share of narrow heels that end up hurting me for days, so trust me when I say these are it queens!!!" —Katie Ness

Get them from Amazon for $29.98+ (available in sizes 6–12 and 12 colors)

18. A stunning pair ofembellished Betsey Johnson shoes that will be the ideal pair of heels for walking down the aisle. They'll complement many different dress styles and will be comfy enough for your first dance, and beyond.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I wore these for my wedding this summer. They were perfect. Not only is it a beautiful shoe, but I have zero notes. That means this pair of high heels went unnoticed! How rare! They weren't a nuisance or irritation for the SEVERAL hours I wore them and danced in them!!! No slipping on grass or on the dance floor. The dust and dirt that got kicked up and onto them during the photography session near the gravel easily came off. The shoe didn't slip when I was sweating. It fit very well. It wasn't too pointy that it would catch on things either. And it photographed beautifully. I felt special." —kelsey

Get them from Amazon for$97.58+ (available in sizes 5–11 and four colors).

19. Some thick platform mules that are giving all of the Y2K vibes. Perfect for those who grew up wishing they'd be a Bratz doll when they were older. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Wore these for my sister's wedding and reception. I have wide feet, and these fit really well. Stayed comfortable all night long. They got a little dirty because it was an outdoor wedding (wet grass/mud), and were able to wipe them off very easily- good as new! Good quality and have held up well! Very cute too!" —Olivia

Get them from Amazon for$34.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and seven colors). 

20. Some chunky platform slidesthat are essentially an elevated version of the slides you normally wear. The fabric strap won't rub like plastic slides sometimes do, which is a bonus, obvs.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "True to the picture. I was expecting more cushiony memory foam, but I actually quite like that it is firmer. I've worn them frequently in the past two weeks for casual and relatively formal events, as well as walked long distances, and have had no complaints." —Soleil Gohoure

Get them from Amazon for$59.99 (available in sizes 6–11 and two colors).

Get them from Amazon for $43.99 (available in sizes 5–11 and 11 colors/styles).

22. A pair of gladiator wedges if you've previously lost the battle with stiletto heels and have found yourself faceplanting the floor on numerous occasions. Seriously, how does Rihanna make walking across those grates look so easy?

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Ladies!!!! If you want to look bangin AND be comfortable ALL NIGHT LONG.....these are your shoes! My first time wearing them was in Miami for a bachelorette party, and let me tell you what, these shoes were a dream to wear all night long, bouncing around from place to place. I'm tall already (5'10") and the height added was perfect. For being very lightweight shoes, they were extremely sturdy. No issues walking, twisting ankles, NOTHING! 10/10 would buy these in every single color!" —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $37.90+ (available in sizes 5.5–11 and five colors).  

24. A stylish but practical pair of slip-on loafers that are a super versatile option for your warm-weather wardrobe. Pop these BBs on for shopping, strolling, or dancing. (To "Single Ladies," amiright?)

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I was searching for mules and decided to take a chance on these. I can't believe how nice these mules are! I bought them in gold, the size is perfect and they're so comfortable.

Get them from Amazon for $22.94+ (available in sizes 5–13, including wide fits, and seven colors).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Runs big/wide but VERY comfortable. I LOVE these sandals. I bought them for a '70s-themed New Year's Eve party, and danced all night in them. 14,000 steps, and my feet didn't hurt at all. I would agree that they run big/wide. I'm ordering a pair in gold." —Indygirl

Get them from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide fits, and 22 colors).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
