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

1. A pair of suede clogs that basically go with everything and will keep you both comfy *and* on trend, day or night. You can wear them at home, on the road, while traveling... The options are endless.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "My favorite clogs that I have bought! They are true to size, and the durability is amazing. They are my most comfortable and easy-to-slip-on shoes that I own, and they go with anything!" —Sumona Khadyrke

Get them from Amazon for $26.98+ (available in sizes 5.5–14 and 13 colors).

2. A pair of waterproof Sorel boots to keep your feet warm and dry during all your planned and unplanned outdoor adventures. No more soggy socks!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I followed the reviews and ordered a half size up, and they are perfect. I work at a farm, and they have held up really well the last few weeks. And they’re comfortable! I walk anywhere from 6–10 miles per day at work, and I have never had any issues with fit or comfort. I think I’m going to be ordering another pair to have on hand for when I’m not at work because they are super cute and really comfy!" —Katie Spencer

Get them from Amazon for $55.95+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 17 colors).

3. A pair of low Hunter rain booties with a rear pull tab that are way easier to slip on than knee-high ones. You can practically step in and out of them instead of having to grip slippery boots after coming in from the rain.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Great boot!! They are stylish, comfortable, and leakproof! They are durable and have lasted a long time. We have horses and trees through a lot of mud and water they are still holding up! Easy to use and rinse off. Great price for these boots. They actually keep your feet dry and warmer than any other brands." —Jason Taylor

Get them from Amazon for $92.98+ (originally $115+, available in sizes 4–11 and 131colors).

4. A pair of New Balance 9060s if you're looking for a stylish Dad sneaker. (Yes, those exist!) They've got chunky soles to put some pep in your step, no matter your destination.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Obsessed! 🫶 They literally go with everything and were SO comfy. Took them on my LA trip and wore them non-stop at Disneyland and Universal… my feet survived, which says it all. 👟✨" —Yauri Rodriguez

Get them from Amazon for $124+ (available in sizes 5.5–13 and 17 colors).

5. A pair of driver shoes you can wear even if you're not actually driving anywhere (or playing golf). They have a classic style and grippy sole for all of your favorite activities (including, well, golf).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Love these shoes. The insoles are extra cushy, very comfortable, and durable. Nice looking and good quality. I think I will buy another color." —Cathy Chen

Get them from Amazon for $47.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and 22 colors)

6. A pair of versatile ankle boots because you can dress them up or down, depending on your travel itinerary and OOTD. They also have a convenient inside zipper so you can quickly put them on or take them off.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I absolutely adore these boots! They have quickly become my go-to footwear for daily wear. Not only are they incredibly comfortable, but they're also remarkably sturdy and stylish. I can easily spend the entire day on my feet at work without experiencing more than mild discomfort." —Catalina

Get them from Amazon for $37.90 (available in sizes 5–13 and four colors).

7. A pair of Ugg mini booties that will make your feet feel like they're wrapped in soft pillows all day long. They're almost as comfy as wearing fuzzy slippers and work with lots of outfits.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "First pair of real Uggs after years and years of knockoffs. You can feel the quality upgrade instantly. So soft and comfortable, yet totally durable and walkable. I walk to the bus stop and back in these for work." —Cristal Quinn

Get them from Amazon for $137.67+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 20 colors).

8. A pointed-toe flat for the days when you want to be dressier but don't want to deal with aching feet from high heels. They have enough cushion to keep up with you even if you're on your feet all day.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Super stylish flats for work! I plan to purchase these in several colors! Perfect for work and extremely comfortable. I’m especially impressed with the quality. I walk every lunch break, and these still look brand new. I would, however, recommend using some kind of protective spray for the suede. I wear a size 8 and found these to run a tad big, not big enough to size up, as I personally have wider feet. I get compliments on them all the time." —dan

Get them from Amazon for $17.10+ (available in sizes 5–15, including wide fits, and 18 colors).

9. A pair of classic Keds canvas sneakers to remind you that some '90s fashion trends are worthy of a comeback (but not you, tube tops).

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought these and wore them to Disney World. Great for walking a ton all day. They are soooo comfortable, durable, and cute! I’m definitely going to order more colors... I didn’t even have to break them in, and they never stretched out from all the walking/wear." —LaShay

Get them from Amazon for $44.97+ (available in sizes 4–13, including narrow, x-narrow, wide, and x-wide fits, and tons of colors).

10. A pair of low-wedge flats so versatile you'll never run out of footwear options for work, brunch, or an evening out (or all of the above on the same day). They're easy to toss into a weekend bag if you tend to overpack outfits and need some additional footwear options, too.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I visited Spain, and I was not sure if this shoe would survive the extensive walking that I knew would take place, but it did. I normally wear sneakers when I take long walks, but I wanted to look stylish on my vacation. This shoe delivered on style, comfort, and durability." —Trini Queen

Get them from Amazon for $31.99 (available in sizes 5–12 and six colors/fabrics).

11. A pair of chunky leather loafers that are easy on the eyes and the feet. They've got a small platform heel and are great for year-round wear, whether you're walking around the block or on a guided foodie tour of your next vacation spot.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I work in an environment that requires a business-casual look, but is very active, and the terrain is pretty unforgiving on the soles of my shoes. These shoes are comfortable, fit my work style, and have a very durable sole. Well-made and versatile. I want them in every color. Never happier."  —JulieAnn

Get them from Amazon for $36.84+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide fits, and in 10 colors).

12. A pair of slip-on mules to combine all the best parts of slippers, sandals, and loafers in one chic package. The open-back design means you'll never have to worry about blisters on the back of your heels.

Get them from Amazon for $35.98+ (available in sizes 5–10 and in 11 colors).

14. A pair of white sneakers with colorful rainbow and sun designs to brighten your step and day, even if the weather says otherwise. Good vibes all around.

Soludos

Promising review: "I love these sneakers so much that I’ve bought them twice over the past few years. These sneakers have been to every corner of the earth with me while I was nomading around and were the absolute perfect shoe for all the walking that came along with those travels. I have these in platinum, and they are so chic, go with everything, making them the perfect travel shoe, as you can dress them up or down, and they are so comfy!!! If you’re reading reviews, trying to decide whether you should buy or not, DO IT! I promise you won’t regret it!" —Andrea H.

Get them from Soludos for $168 (available in sizes 5–9 and other styles).

15. A pair of Adidas Cloudform running sneakers that are lightweight and stretchy. They're great everyday shoes, especially when you anticipate logging 20,000 steps running errands or exploring your city.

www.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 them from Amazon for $45+ (available in sizes 5–11 and four colors).

16. A pair of soft slippers as warm and cozy as your favorite pair of thick socks. You can wear them inside or outside thanks to their grippy soles. Go ahead and book that extra cruise, glamping, or hotel adventure.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "These slippers feel great from the moment you put them on. They’re quiet on floors, easy to slip into, and hold their shape well. The rubber sole gives them a sturdier feel than typical house slippers, which makes them perfect for quick trips outside or just moving around the house comfortably. The inside is cozy without being too warm, and the cushioning gives your feet a gentle, supportive feel. The sole has great grip and feels durable enough for indoor and light outdoor use. No slipping on tile or hardwood. Easy to walk in and not bulky at all. They move naturally with your feet. The sizing is straightforward, and the design works well for anyone — simple, clean, and versatile. They don’t trap heat, which keeps your feet comfortable, even during long wear." —Hembree`B

Get them from Amazon for $11.24+ (available in sizes 4.5–13 and 10 colors).

17. A pair of waterproof Sperry duck boots so your day doesn't have to be put on hold because of rain — and you can still look stylish. Go ahead and jump into a giant puddle (or a few).

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I've had these for more than a year now, and I still love them. They are comfortable, durable, and go well with so many outfits. Perfect for autumn and winter. One of my best shoe purchases ever, to be honest! Would 100% recommend." —Kelsey Stratman

Get them from Amazon for $42.72+ (available in sizes 5–12 and four colors).

18. Square-toed ankle boots that are so impossibly sleek, they look straight off a runway. You'll want to wear them for every occasion, and you can, thanks to the block heel and padded insole.

Amazon

Promising review: "These boots are very well made, leather, very comfortable, and durable. They keep their shape. Very classy boot." —Moira Hirst

Get them from Amazon for $80.09+ (originally $170, available in sizes 5–13, including wide sizes, and six colors).

19. A pair of Crocs because, let's admit it, you really can't beat how low-maintenance, lightweight, and comfy these truly are. And once you add some Jibbitz, they're basically uniquely fashionable, too.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I just opened these and am so happy with them, they are so cute in white! I have a lot of Crocs in different patterns, but I went for a simple white this time, and I think these are my favorite. I’ve bought all of my other Crocs from their website, and I can tell you these are legit, not fakes. Super comfy and lightweight, mine have always lasted a long time. True to size, just a little roomy, enough to be comfortable but not falling off your feet." —FWFit

Get them from Amazon for $39.11+ (available in sizes 4–19 and a variety of colors).

20. A pair of Chelsea boots made for exploring all the hidden gems in your city or wherever your passport takes you next. They have flexible sides and a leather lining, so your feet will happily be able to keep up with you when the jetlag hits and you are up at 4 a.m.

Amazon

Promising review: "I recommend these boots to everyone and get compliments on them often. I’ve worn these for full days of walking, and they’re pretty comfortable. They also hold up really nicely and still look like new, even after about a year of wearing them. Best of all, they go with everything." —Emma

Get them from Amazon for $160 (available in sizes 5–12 and in 10 colors).

www.amazon.com

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I am a nurse and LOVE these shoes. First. They are comfortable (once you break them in). Second. They are easy to clean - and I mean CLEAN as in hospital clean. Third. They are so very durable. I literally wear the same pair of shoes for like 8 years before I have to replace them. They are expensive up front, but are a great value overtime. These are the best for 12-16 hour shifts on your feet the whole time. Even when pregnant! I can't recommend them enough." —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $99.95+ (available in sizes 4.5–13, narrow and wide sizes, and 29 colors/styles).

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE these shoes! They are my "go-to" shoes for comfort and are durable as well! I can't possibly say ENOUGH good things about them and recommend them to anyone who is looking for a cute, comfy set of kicks!" —BAM121973

Get them from Amazon for $37.89+ (available in sizes 6–11, wide sizes, and in eight colors).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I got these about six years ago. I've worn them in water and mud, put so many miles on them, they've traveled with me to different countries. Just within the past year or two are they starting to wear on the very edge of the heel and the Velcro is becoming less adhesive. I don't know how Teva does it, but these simple shoes are DURABLE!!" —Emma

Get them from Amazon for $39+ (available in sizes 5–14 and 63 colors/patterns),

26. Dr. Martens boots that will give you nostalgia for the combat boots you wore in college, only without having the time suck of lacing them up. Water-resistant, grippy soles — these boots were made for walkin'.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "TL;DR: aesthetic, functional, and well worth the investment. I’ve had them for three years, used almost daily, even in snow and on oil. As long as you take care of them, they’ll last you a very long while. Break them in with some wool socks to make the process a little less painful. Easy to put on and take off." —Phoenix Ember Sanchez

Get them from Amazon for $174+ (available in sizes 5–15).
