Promising review: "I bought these shoes to wear on vacation to the Grand Canyon. I did a lot of walking on that trip, and my feet never hurt, and I still looked cute. Then, a few months later, we went to Durango, Colorado, and did a ton of walking, and my feet never hurt again. I washed them and let them air-dry several times over the next year, and they came out great each time. They soon became my daily shoes to wear around the house. I have already bought a second pair to replace them, so I can still look cute and be comfortable, and wear the first pair when I water the garden. I would definitely recommend these shoes!" —J. Perkins

Promising review: "I normally cannot wear flats because they give me terrible blisters on the back of my feet. These didn't! Bought these in nude for a city vacation with a lot of walking, but where sandals aren't necessarily worn, and these were perfect! They obviously don't have the support of sneakers, but I am so happy to finally have a cheap pair of flats that don't give me blisters. I did break them in with thin socks around my house before wearing them out, and when possible, I wear them with little sock liners. Also, I was able to fold these in half like Tieks and fit them into a semi-small purse to change into to dance at a wedding! Score!" —Kate
Get them from Amazon for $20.10+ (available in sizes 5–15, including wide sizes, and 26 colors/styles — not all styles available in all sizes).
Promising reviews: "These shoes are so comfortable. I used them on a trip where I did a lot of walking, and there was no need to break them in, and I had no blisters. I have not had to clean them yet, so don’t know how they will wash up." —Charlotte
"I wore these, new, on a recent trip and couldn't have been more pleased with the fit and comfort. Added bonus, you can toss them in the wash, and they come out great!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I'm obsessed with this shoe! I love that it fits like a bootie. Adorable with skinny jeans/leggings, dresses, etc. Can be dressed up or down — I wore them to a wedding in Greece, and also out and about during the day in Spain. Very comfortable for walking, dancing, whatever!" —jasmineflower

Promising review: "As a senior in college, I have had all of the name-brand 'college must-have' shoes. However, I initially bought these shoes as an extra pair to have lying around because they were super affordable for a poor college student, but I ended up absolutely falling in love with them. Not only are they a chunky, warm white colored shoe (I bought the color “white,” and they’re more warm than cool-toned white in my opinion, which was personally a pro for me), but they are incredibly durable and comfortable. Walking ten miles on campus each day and working long shifts on my feet, these shoes held up, and I did not have the aching feeling that even some of the “best” shoes would give me. Also, they’re super easy to clean (coming from a messy barista and from many muddy and snowy days on campus). If you travel a lot, these shoes are a must! After many Disney trips, I will never take another pair of shoes besides these. Seriously, no aching after hours of walking and standing! Anyways, I get no incentives from this review; I sincerely haven't had a pair of shoes this nice at this price. I’m only leaving this review now to help anyone on the fence, and because I just ordered another pair!" —T. Corn

Promising review: "These are super comfortable. Bought a pair for every member of my family for vacation at the waterpark. They have just enough cushion to make walking all day comfortable, but light enough that they are not cumbersome. Great price point, too!" —Teresa Howell

Promising review: "This was a great shoe for making a wedding reception comfy, and a road trip a little classy!! The satin-finish leather was dressy enough that it complemented my olive dress, but wasn’t so fancy to be out of place walking around a ghost town in athleisure. I love these shoes!!" —Nick's Page
Get them from Amazon for $44.89+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 13 styles — not all styles available in all sizes).
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 Patel

My boyfriend has these in black, and the first thing he commented on was how light and breathable they are. He's definitely a comfort first, style second kind of person, but he doesn't have to compromise anymore, thanks to these. They're pretty much his new go-to shoe when we're heading downtown or out on a date (and he always looks so good in them).
Promising review: "I love them, I originally bought a pair for a vacation where I needed something business casual and comfortable for walking… I wore them on my first day back to the office (left my $750 pair of Ferragamos at the office). I intended to throw on the expensive pair… I got more compliments on these than I have for a high-end shoe, and they’re way more comfortable!" —Bobby D

Promising review: "I bought these shoes for my trip to the UK in September. They proved to be some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. We toured English stately homes and gardens and walked everywhere we went, and these shoes gave me great support and comfort. I wore them on the plane and in the airports, and they stood the test. Love these shoes, and I have put them aside to wear for my next UK trip!" —Louisa Cornell

Promising review: "Probably the best item I've ever ordered from Amazon. I wanted to look stylish, and rain boots would have looked silly. Found these all rubber sneaker/rain shoes, and man! I'm glad I got these. Wore them to Europe during quite a bit of rain. Walked a lot and they were surprisingly very comfortable, too." —Its me

Promising review: "This is the third pair I have bought for my husband (navy, tan, and black). We travel a lot, and he always takes a pair for daily wear and loads of walking. He says they are the most comfortable shoes he has ever had, and frankly, they are so great looking, you can wear them anywhere. In Europe, many men wear this style of shoes with their suits, and they look so sharp. These are so versatile, go with anything, and have a super-high comfort level. Catch them when they are on special!" —vieuxcarre

Promising review: "Thought the shoes were cute and read rave reviews, so I bought them. Wow! Sooo cute and extremely comfortable! I’m so excited about these! It feels like you’re walking on a cloud, and I cannot believe the price I paid for them. Amazing deal. Highly recommend! I bought my usual size, and they fit perfectly. They are not too narrow, and they definitely don’t look like 'clown shoes' as someone mentioned. Adorable 10/10!" —Talia

Promising review: "I am in love with these boots! First, they are great-looking. I've worn them 10 times in the past two and a half weeks and received compliments five times. They look amazing with leggings, maxi dresses, and short skirts. The ankle doesn't gap and is adjustable with laces, but it actually opens via a zipper on the inside ankle. So, once you get them fitted to your arch and ankle, putting them on and taking them off is easy. I know, as I had to remove them for TSA at two airports. I've worn them in rain, slushy snow, sub-freezing temps, and 70-degree weather. So far, with a wipe of a cloth, they still look brand new. No scuffs and no cracks. Yesterday, I took them off after 31 hours of travel, involving a number of airports and lots of walking, and they still felt good." —Alice

Promising review: "I only brought a few pairs of shoes to Europe when I went, and these were one of them. They were amazing! I thought I would get blisters, but I didn’t, and they were super comfortable. From walking around France to the highlands of Scotland, they were perfect. Definitely worth the price!" —Audra Brink

"Can't say enough! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THESE SHOES!!! Nice arch support. Very comfortable. Nice tread. Well made. Plenty of toe room. Haven't slipped on wet pavement or snowy driveway. Did I mention how comfortable they are? Yes, I would definitely buy these again!!" —Flower Girl

Promising reviews: "This is my third pair of this brand and style. I have a narrower foot, and I don’t feel like my feet are swimming in these. I have walked all day with them on vacation and was still comfortable by the end of the night. I need cushy shoes, and these are perfect for me. The quality is very good, and even though they are light, they are sturdy. I like the way they look and don’t make my feet look like I’m wearing giant shoes. My first pair I’ve had for two years, and they still look like new. For me, it’s all about the comfort." —Sue Seim
"The On brand is the best walking shoe EVER!!! You will want several pairs!! I can COMFORTABLY walk for hours and miles all day long in a city or countryside in these shoes, and at the end of the day, my feet are NOT tired or sore! They are the best!!" —Tonic

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, too, 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
