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

1. A cushy pair of platform Mary Janes you'll gladly wear absolutely EVERYWHERE, whether you're sporting them to your office or putting them on to run your weekly errands. These are also great to wear with white frilly socks for a cute goth-meets-coquette vibe.

Promising review: "I am obsessed with these shoes. If you’re hesitant to buy them, just buy them. I ordered my true size and these fit perfectly. Enough wiggle room if you would like to wear socks or tights, but not necessary. Comfy cushion for the bottom of your feet as well as heel. I want these in every color and then some!" —Savanna

Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and five colors).

2. An espadrille wedge that absorbs shock with its platform-like sole and keeps the foot in place with its ankle strap. All while looking cute enough to wear with any dress in your vacay wardrobe.

amazon.com

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 complaints. Walked 2 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, wide sizes, and five colors/patterns).

3. A pair of braided sandals with a supportive chunky heel proving that you *can* dress up virtually anything — even your favorite band tee and broken-in pair of jeans.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Reaching for these sandals more and more because they’re comfy, cute, and elevate my outfits! They didn’t require any breaking in, and I’ve worn them for an entire day out and had no issues with long-term wear. Fit was true to size. Going to get another color since I love them so much!" —Nidhi

Get it from Amazon for $25.49+ (available in sizes 6–10 and 26 colors).

4. A nonslip athletic sneaker that you'll slip into day in and day out. Reviewers have mentioned that these shoes feel like walking on clouds, which is the type of feeling you want when miles into your next hike or run.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I did not expect this to be so comfortable and have cushion support. It was like walking on clouds for sure. This is a true-to-size shoe. Ordered these for hike walks and trail biking to see how comfy they are. A little snug on the entry since it doesn't have a tongue-like opening; it is a sock-like entry but good. To start, I have the black ones, but will look to order more colors. Name brands should look into this style of comfort. Or maybe link up to expand product lines. GREAT PRODUCT, THANK YOU." —nessynpook

Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in sizes 5.5–10.5 and 19 colors)

5. A pair of chunky combat boots, because looking ~cool~ is for all seasons. I've worn my combat boots during every type of weather: in the summer and spring, I'll pair them with a sundress or denim shorts, and in the fall and winter, I'll pair them with flared jeans and my favorite sweater.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I wore these ankle boots to a concert and stood in them for hours—they were surprisingly comfortable the entire time! For the price, they offer great value without sacrificing style or support. Definitely recommend if you want fashionable boots that won’t hurt your feet." —Paquena

Get them from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes 5.5–10 and four colors).

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

Get them from Amazon for $44.95 (available in sizes 6–11 and three colors).

7. A 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 faux leather stretches for a perfect fit.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "These are super cute on, love how simple the design is — they look great with jeans or skirts, and they are super comfortable. The strap stretches to fit your foot so nicely (not in a constrained way). I’ve been wearing them for everyday looks and haven’t had any issues! Would definitely recommend! Also, the white doesn’t stain easily, which is definitely a plus —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and in eight colors).

10. Or a pair of scrunch ballet flats that conform to your feet while you serve your best #balletcore look.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I'm one of the folks who swore by Payless flats. After Payless closed, I remember reading a ton of reviews trying to find replacement flats. One of the reviews said she'd just gotten her third color because these are so great. Well, I'm now that reviewer! I'm a grad student in a field where professional dress is the norm, and it's fairly formal. Lots of suits. These are perfect. They're attractive enough to wear to most job sites, and I can toss them in a bag and swap them with heels if I need to. My feet look cute; no toe cleavage! I've got black, gray, and rose gold. These fit in my usual size and stretch a bit. Plenty comfy. Good price point. Five stars!" —D. R.

Get it from Amazon for $9.62+ (available in sizes 5–15, including wide sizes, and 20 colors/patterns).

11. A pair of comfy embroidered cowboy boots with a chunky heel to let you square dance the night away without feeling like you have to slip into flip-flops after five minutes on the dance floor.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "These are a great price. They are wide calf–approved. I love the zipper on the side. It makes them easy to open. Highly recommend." —Angela K

"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 them from Amazon for $46.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–11, including wide sizes, and seven colors/materials).

12. A pair of cushioned Reef two-strap sandals that'll work great as house shoes or chic, headed-around-town shoes when the moment strikes!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "So cute and extremely comfy!! The first day I wore them, I received compliments, and my friend ended up going home and ordering a pair for herself!" —jsmith13

Get it from Amazon for $28.13+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 34 colors).

13. A quilted slip-on shoe with memory foam insoles to make it feel as if you're stepping on a fluffy pillow with each stride. Pair these with your favorite leggings for times when you want to be comfy while running errands, but you also want to look put-together.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I have wide feet, and these are SO COMFY. I am usually a 7.5–8, I ordered these in an 8. My pinky toe isn’t crammed in, and the bottom feels like memory foam. These are a great value." —abcd

Get it from Amazon for $26.75+ (available in sizes 6–11, including wide sizes, and in eight colors).

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

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

15. 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 perfectly. Great to dress up or down." —C

Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 15 colors).

16. A pair of chic sandals you can wear anytime, anywhere — whether you're off to a meeting, brunch with friends, or getting your wardrobe ready for wedding season!

amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought these to match a hot pink dress I purchased, and they matched the dress perfectly! They are very comfortable. I wore them to a party for eight hours and had no issues with pain the next day. The straps fit nicely, not too loose or snug. Would definitely purchase in other colors!" —Mariana

Get it from Amazon for $49.90 (available in sizes 5–12 and in 10 colors).

17. A pair of lug-sole loafers with tons of traction that'll absorb way more shock than a traditional loafer. These shoes are great for people who work on their feet but still want a shoe that looks fancy and means ~business~.

amazon.com

Promising review: "The shoe is beautiful! Love the multicolor! I received many compliments. The shoes are extremely comfortable! I didn’t feel like I had on shoes at all. The shoe felt as if I had sneakers on my feet. I will be ordering another pair in my regular size in navy blue! Love, love, love this shoe!" —Lavern

Get them from Amazon for $30+ (available in sizes 5–13, including wide sizes, and in 20 colors).

18. Or this 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

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. These made a difference when 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, but not the case with these loafers." —Ms. Rizzo

Get it from Amazon for $54.95 (available in sizes 6–11, including wide sizes, and in black snake).

19. A pair of slip-on platform wedges that'll feel like actual clouds (according to one reviewer), despite the fact that they *look* like ultra-chic uncomfortable shoes. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are one of my better purchases on Amazon. They are cute and comfortable, like walking on a cloud. They are not heavy or clunky. They are light but sturdy. They can be worn with so many outfits because of their neutral color."  —Lynette Robotti

Get them from Amazon for $29.98+ (available in sizes 6–10 and eight colors).

20. 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 $28.46+ (available in sizes 5–11 and five colors/materials).

21. A faux leather strappy sandal if you need a no-thoughts-required shoe to wear everywhere on your upcoming vacation. These are also so lightweight and easy to pack, so you have no excuse not to bring them!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I get compliments on these all the time. Color is great. They go with everything. Fit was perfect. Very comfortable. The leather is soft and wasn't stiff at all. I usually don't like sandals that go between my toes, but these don't bother me at all." —Kelly

Get it from Amazon for $16.42+ (available in sizes 5–15, including wide sizes, and eight colors).

22. Or a similar braided thong sandal with an adjustable buckle, so you can wear gladiator sandals that won't feel constricting or uncomfy after a few hours. Hurray for style and comfort!

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. This brand has several different designs that are similar to these ones, and all of them are very cute. I can't wait to buy another pair, just with a little different look to expand my options when picking my footwear for the day." —Shawna M Murphy

Get it from Amazon for $26+ (available in sizes 5–12 and in eight colors).

23. And a pair of low, lightweight wedges with a crossover strap that will look equally as good with casual looks as it will with fancier, dressed-up 'fits. They absorb shock while walking, making them perfect for those who live in big cities.

amazon.com

Promising review: "These are casual but elevate my outfits. I have wide feet, and the stretch makes them comfortable and supportive. I recommend!" —Alexandra Painter

Get them from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes 5–11, including wide sizes, and three colors).

Get it from Amazon for $35.91+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and in 13 colors).

25. A pair of Dr. Scholl's Time Off Sneaker, because honestly, they look like a ~cool~ low-top sneaker while they feel like a running shoe! They'll fit your foot like a glove with its nifty laces and still remain exceptionally cushy and comfy.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is the review you need, I promise. Let me start by saying that once I booked a five-week study abroad trip to Italy, my search began for the perfect tennis shoe. These were the top-recommended shoes everywhere, so I took the leap. I wore these shoes almost every single day in Italy, averaging about 20,000+ steps per day without even breaking these shoes in, and let me tell you, THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT. These shoes did not hurt my feet the ENTIRE trip; they were so comfortable and had amazing support.  How easily they dirty was so irrelevant to me after how amazing they held up otherwise and how comfortable they were for me. Because of this, I would 100000% recommend these shoes to anyone who is traveling and walking a lot and needs a cute yet comfy shoe, or even as an everyday shoe. They are not super hard to clean, but not necessarily easy either, so just keep that in mind. But the shoes held up amazingly and went with all my outfits. I am so thankful I got them for my trip!" —Hannah Grella

Get them from Amazon for $41.32+ (available in sizes 4–13, including wide and extra-wide sizes, and in 24 colors).

26. A pair of lightweight lug sole 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.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’ve worn these everywhere!! They are super comfy and lightweight, go with everything, and run true to size. I got them in white as well, and I’m obsessed. I’ve been to a concert in them, driven in them, and also, I went on vacation recently and walked all over the city, went out, and danced at bars. I’ve never had a pair of heels that are so comfy! Seriously, so worth the money." —Courtney Wilson

Get them from Amazon for $16.47+ (available in sizes 5–12 and in 26 colors). 

27. And a pair of ankle-length knit boots that envelop your feet in a plush coziness so soft, you'll wonder why you ever wear any of the other shoes in your closet.

Everlane

Promising review: "These might be my favorite boots ever! They are super comfortable for walking all around the city and commuting to and from work. They look great dressed up or down." —Wendy M S
