These are my second pair!" —Rocky "What a great Hermès alternative. Why spend thousands when Steve Madden makes them for much less and they last longer, too. Great sandal for casual, everyday, classy wear!" —Brooke Price Get them from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in 17 colors). Promising review: "I live in the desert and noticed our upcoming trip to London had rain in the forecast nearly every day. I didn’t want to walk around in wet tennis shoes, and we were planning a trip with heavy walking. I have problems with plantar fasciitis, so I was skeptical, I usually buy expensive, supportive shoes. But I took a chance. These boots did not disappoint. I ended up wearing them every day in London. They were very comfortable, my feet stayed dry, they were super cute and the best part, ZERO foot pain. We walked a lot, 7–8 miles a day. I will put these in my closet for other rainy-day trips!" —volvomom Get them from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 13 colors). Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Brittany Ross says about them: "I bought these boots last year and they quickly became the ones I reach for whenever I'm not wearing sneakers. They're SO comfortable (I've worn them walking around both NYC and Europe for hours on end), and that bit of extra height makes 5' tall me feel like I can take on the world. They're also ridiculously cute and worth every cent of what they cost, thanks to their durability and versatility. I've worn them in the rain and never once worried about slipping! Best of all, they look great with a casual jeans look or gussied up with a slip skirt, which I've paired them with on many occasions. I know they'll last me a long time, but I'm already certain I won't hesitate to buy a replacement pair when they finally give out. 10/10, buy them! Oh, and FYI, they run a little big, so consider sizing down!" Promising review: "I have been wearing Docs for years now, and this pair has to take first place for comfort. They're incredibly cute and versatile, can be dressed up or down, and just like any other pair are faithfully durable. Docs always run big so I sized a full size down and still comfortably wear them with thin-thick socks. I brought them on a long trip, wore them in various weather conditions like rain/snow/forest trails, and they worked great." —Stacy Cruz Get them from Amazon for $90+ (available in sizes 5–11). Promising review: "These shoes are amazing!!! I have large, wide, flat feet (11.5-12), after reading the reviews I selected these and prayed that I would not have to send them back. I DID NOT. They are extremely comfortable, with plenty of room for my fat toes. My entire foot fits inside of the shoe (no heel drag) and they are extremely light. I think that I have found my new favorite pair shoes. I loved them so much that I just ordered two more pairs. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!" —Shannon Bonner Get them from Amazon for $87.97+ (available in sizes 5–12 and several colors/patterns). 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 $49.98 (available in sizes 5–10 and eight colors). Promising review: "My go-to pair of shoes. They go with everything, last a long time, and are so so comfy — I can walk hours and hours in them with no problems. I average at a size 6.5 but I get a 6 in these and they fit perfectly." —Al33 Get them from Nike for $115 (available in sizes 5–12 and in two colors). Promising review: "I love these sandals. They are extremely comfortable and very stylish. I can wear them for long periods of time and my feet don’t hurt. They are a little heavy, but once you start walking in them, you don’t even notice it. I get complimented every time I wear these sandals. Perfect summer shoe, and they’ll last for a lifetime. Highly recommend!" —Larriane T. Get them from Dr. Martens for $160 (available in sizes 5–11). Promising review: "Perfect summer/spring shoe. This is just what I needed! A shoe that goes with almost every outfit, plus comfort. The elastic is such great quality. It hugs my foot so it stays in place but it isn’t too tight. The price was great, also. They're totally worth it, I got so many compliments today!" —Amber Shay Get them from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and in 11 colors). Promising review: "These shoes are super comfortable and supportive. I used to play pickleball on hard court surfaces with tennis shoes with little padding. I developed sore feet which had a term — plantar fasciitis!! These New Balance tennis shoes with thick memory foam inserts saved the day! I can keep playing the game I love and my foot pain is nearly gone! Best tennis shoes ever! And they come in wide too, which makes the fit perfect!!!" —Library Get them from Amazon for $46.97+ (available in sizes 5–12, including narrow and wide sizes, and four styles). FYI: Many reviewers suggest sizing down! Promising review: "These slides are — and I mean this in the best way — marshmallows that mold to your individual feet. They are SOOOO comfortable. The material in every part is molded and squishy, so there are no unexpected parts that dig into your skin or chafe. But they’re structured enough to provide some support for your arches. 10/10 highly recommend!" —Carrie B Get them from Amazon for $23.99 (available in sizes 4–16 and 15 styles). Reviewers note to buy these in a size up from your usual shoe size! Promising review: "Love these shoes! I saw them in store at Urban Outfitters but they didn't have my size. Obviously I turned to Amazon because what doesn’t this site sell, and lo-and-behold, y’all had it. I try to pair these with almost every outfit because they’re so comfy and stylish! Recently went to Philly, where I had to walk everywhere because we didn't rent a car and these were only pair of shoes I brought (I travel light). These didn’t cramp up my feet at all as I walked over seven hours daily over the course of five days. Definitely recommend!" —Alli J Get them from Amazon for $77+ (available in women's sizes 5–11 and five styles). Promising review: "I purchased these to wear on vacation a few times. Little did I know that I would live in them for the entire vacation in Puerto Rico. I then wore them every day in Disney for six days straight, and I was the only one in our party not to complain about sore feet and the wrong shoes." —J. Malone Get them from Amazon for $41.35+ (available in sizes 5–11 and several colors/patterns). If you're a half size, the seller recommends ordering a size up since they run small. Artesanías Camila is a Carthage, Texas-based shop from Blanca Olivera. All of their Mexican-inspired huaraches, bags, hats, and apparel are handmade. Promising review: "THESE ARE THE MOST COMFORTABLE SANDALS EVER! They don't rub, pinch, or squeeze and I love them so much. 💗 If you're on the fence about ordering these because you have a wide foot, size up and BUY. THE. DANG. SHOES! They're so cute, and are exactly as pictured. I'm usually a size 8, but bought a 9 after reading everyone else's reviews and they fit like a glove." —Melissa O'Hara Get them from Artesanías Camila on Etsy for $54 (available in sizes 7–9). Promising review: "I was hesitant to buy these because most sandals that are made of 'rubber' will have your foot slip-sliding around with even a bit of sweat (remember those '80s jelly shoes?!) Well, these are NOTHING like that. They are very comfortable and fit my wide foot well. I worried they might squeak or the back strap may flop about. Nope. None of that. These are perfect travel shoes because they can be worn with everything! I have the black ones but am now curious to see if other color choices are available. Try them!" —Monique Get them from Amazon for $37.67+ (available in sizes 3–11 and in seven styles). Promising review: "I have bought six or seven pairs over the years for traveling and wearing at home. I do not wear socks and yet my feet are never cold in the winter or hot in the summer! My most recent pair is for a trip to Greece — they will not have to be broken in because they are comfortable from the start!" —Sue W. Get them from Allbirds for $110 (available in sizes 5–11 and seven colors). Psst — there are lots of different styles of Crocs (like slides, flats, and sandals). You can check those out and pick up any charms for your shoes at the Crocs store on Amazon. Promising review: "Love Crocs! My old pair is getting smooth on the bottom which makes them unsafe to wear when it's wet so I bought a new pair. Love the color and they last forever. My first pair is over 10-years-old and I still wear them!" —Carey Get them from Amazon for $33.18+ (available in sizes 4–19 and several styles). * Shoes Reviewers Loved So Much, They Came Back For A Second Pair * Comfortable Shoes You'll Want To Pack On Your Next Trip * Pairs Of Shoes Destined To Become Your New Favorites * The Bottom Line Is These 27 Shoes Will Make Your Feet More Comfortable Plus, boots, shoes (or, more specifically, sandals) for your next trip, teacher or server-approved options, and finds from Nike, Nordstrom, DSW, Walmart, and Zappos.
