Promising reviews: "I love these!!!! Just got them today, and they are so comfortable and fit perfectly. I was waiting for these to come out cause the Bondi 8 wasn’t right for me, these are great." —Lisa

"First time buying Hokas. I tried the Clifton 9 and the Bondi 9. I love them both, but this one has a bit more arch support. I shouldn’t keep both at this price, but I probably will! I tell my feet they deserve it." —Anonymous

Price: $175 (available in wide fits, sizes 4–12, and 25 colors)

Promising review: "These are comfortable and fit true to size. The colors are fun and not too overly bright. They look just like the picture." —Mara

Price: $85 (available in sizes 5.5–11 and seven other colors)

Promising review: "Comfortable right out of the box! I am currently 5 months pregnant, and needed a pair of sandals that provided excellent support and comfort, while also looking professional enough for work and cute enough for warm days and dresses... and this is it! I am usually a size 6–6.5, and when I’m with a 6, it's a perfect fit! I’ve also purchased a few SAS shoes for my parents in the past that they have worn for years. I am so happy to see more ‘young’ styles!" —Anonymous

Price: $198.95 (available in wide fits, sizes 5–12 and eight colors)

Promising review: "Wow! One of the most comfortable shoes I’ve worn from the moment I tried them on. They have moderate arch support, unlike most flats. The slightly squared toe and the Mary Jane strap are a cute update to flats. I’m a size 12, and they do not add any bulk to my foot. Love them!" —Anonymous

Price: $105+ (originally $150; available in narrow and wide fits, sizes 5–13, and nine colors)

Promising review: "Oh man, are these boots great! Just so gorgeous and comfy. I tried them on and haven't been able to take them off yet. I might sleep in them. This is my first pair of Taos boots, and I am so impressed. If these were by Frye, they would be nearly twice the price, but the Taos quality is as good or better than Frye's. Gorgeous leather, nice round toebox, easy on the back when walking, and wonderful style and colors. I have them in teal, btw. Oh, and as usual, Zappos is so fast to ship that it's almost creepy. I think there is a man standing in my bushes with all the shoes, because I ordered these at about 9 p.m. last night, and they were here by 1 p.m. today. It practically defies the laws of physics. These boots are not cheap, but they are worth every penny, and I think they are very reasonably priced given the high quality. Get some right now!" —Valerie

Price: $175+ (originally $250; available in sizes 6–11.5 and four colors)

Promising review: "The softest and most comfortable pair of sandals I own! These look cute with everything, and the wedge feels cushy. I can walk around in these for hours. This is my second pair, got them in a different color because I love them so much." —M

Price: $41.20+ (originally $120; available in sizes 8–11 and two colors)

Promising review: "Alright, ladies — I'm pushing 50, and I'm short and stout with a wide hip area that makes me teeter totter on any heel. Did I mention my bunions? They make life challenging, particularly in fashionable shoes. These shoes are REMARKABLY comfortable, solidly constructed, and high-quality and durable; I know because I wore a pair of their sandals all summer long, and they look basically new. I'm SOLD on the brand, quality, and durability of this product. You get what you pay for - and these bad boys are worth every damn last penny!" —Valerie

Price: $195 (available in sizes 7–11 and three colors)

Promising review: "The fit and size were right on. Had a nice arch support, so didn’t bother wearing my orthotics. Very comfortable. On first use, I wore them all day with no discomfort. Very cute! Love the oyster color. I bought white shoelaces for them because it makes them look brighter, but the laces they came with are fine." —Kathleen

Price: $59.98+ (originally $110; available in sizes 6–11 and six colors)

Most reviewers suggest sizing up half a size for the perfect fit. 

Promising review: "I am very pleased with the fit and quality of this shoe. I went a 1/2 size up, and it fit perfectly." —Gigi

Price: $95 (available in sizes 5–12 and 27 colors)

Promising review: "They look and feel amazing. I think it would be a great sandal for someone with wide feet." —Theresa

Price: $89.95 (originally $109.95; available in sizes 5.5–11 and eight colors)

Promising review: "I can’t recommend these enough. They’re incredibly comfy —we’re talking zero period of stiff leather, ankles blistering, general discomfort—and I wore them all day long, straight out of the box with no issues. I purchased a 9.5 (I’m a 9.5 in Vans and Nike) and found these to be true to size. They look great with leggings or cropped jeans." —Jessie

Price: $64.98+ (originally $85; available in sizes 5–11 and seven styles)

Promising review: "OMG these felt SOOOOO good putting on my sore old feet. Like slippers with a little support! Wear them everywhere!" —Anonymous

"I absolutely love this shoe, it's so comfortable and feels light on my foot. It would go great with a skirt as well as with jeans." —Anonymous

Price: $94.50+ (originally $105; available in sizes 5–11 and seven colors)

Promising review: "Exceeded my expectations; I'm getting an additional pair in a different color. What I have now, the pink, is brighter than in the photo in a good way. They have a 'clean', fresh look....great for jeans or even formalwear. The padding in the footbed is very comfortable, and the strap across the top is not constraining at all." —Anonymous

Price: $59.49+ (originally $93; available in sizes 6–12 and five colors)

Promising review: "Like all shoes I've bought from the brand L'Artiste, these are unique, beautiful, and very comfortable. I don't do well in heels, but these are a great height and very comfortable. Love!" —Anonymous

Price: $149.95 (available in sizes 5–12 and four colors)

Promising review: "I must say, these are probably some of the sturdiest heels I’ve walked in. The pressure on the ball of my foot from most heels can get really uncomfortable. With the little platform on these, I feel like I’m walking normally! I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on them, too." —Anonymous

Price: $49.99 (originally $89.99; available in sizes 6–11 and three colors)

Promising reviews: "These are my go-to flats, especially when the activity requires comfort. I purchased the widest width, and they fit beautifully." —KLM

"Don't let the fact that these shoes are Dr. Scholl's turn you off. These are not geriatric shoes. I have the spotted leopard ones, and they are so cute! Buy your regular size, and they are perfect and comfortable right out of the box!" —Anonymous

Price: $56.05 (originally $80; available in wide fits, sizes 6–11 and six colors)

Promising review: "These shoes are super cute and unique. I enjoy the sparkle and being mesh, they seem really summery. I wear an 8 in sandals and an 8.5 in athletic shoes across most brands. I always take a 7M in a Sam Edelman shoe." —Diane

Price: $128.43+ (originally $150; available in sizes 5–11 and three colors)

Promising review: "Very soft leather, wore them all over Spain while on vacation. Good with a light sock; very comfortable. No trouble with my plantar fasciitis." —Diane

Price: $69.99+ (originally $130+; available in sizes 5–13, two widths, and 13 colors)

Promising review: "Awesome comfort and looks. Awesome shoe, very comfortable, and they look great!" —Joel L

Price: $48.75+ (originally $65; available in women's sizes 5–18, men's sizes 3–17, and 12 colors)

Promising review: "I love these shoes!!! They are so cute and comfortable. It fits true to size, and I can't wait for the brown or black to go on sale because I will buy them too. They are a MUST-have!" —Cheryl

Promising review: "I love the way the 'cushion bounce' feels on my foot: the little bit of arch support and the soft, cushy sole is much appreciated. I usually buy new flip-flops each year because the soles wear down so quickly. Let's see how long the supportive arch and cushy feel last. If you are a half-size, usually I recommend going up to the next whole size. I am a 9.5, so the 10 fits perfectly." —Anonymous

Price: $40 (available in sizes 5–12 and five colors) 

Promising review: "I have never liked athletic shoes — no matter how gussied up with neon colors and weird soles, they're all clunky-looking and just ugly. These Tallulah shoes are the exact opposite — relatively sleek and slim, and attractive enough to wear in public without looking like a gym rat. I wear them in my exercise class and find them perfect for the workout yet cute enough to satisfy my vanity;-}. I especially fell for the open top with crisscross lacing. Looks very chic and almost like ballet slippers! These may not be for hardcore athletes, but for someone who wants a comfortable, attractive shoe for exercise and comfortable walking around town, this shoe is a great choice." —Jill

Price: $110 (available in wide fits and sizes 5–10.5)

Promising review: "I have very difficult feet (super high arches and slightly wide feet, but not wide enough for extra-wide shoes). I live in a warm climate, so I can wear these almost year-round. They are very comfortable, and I can wear them for short strolls or shopping. They are a stylish and budget-friendly version of similar shoes that YSL and Hermes make. Also great for travel as they take up virtually no room in a suitcase or even a tote bag." —SuzieG

Price: $90+ (available in sizes 5–12 and eight colors)

Promising review: "I love these slippers. Not only are they attractive and have soles that I can wear inside and outside of the house, but they are nice and warm. I put inserts in them for arch support, as I have plantar fasciitis. And they fit great, and I did not have to get a larger size." —Anonymous

Price: $124.95 (available in sizes 5–12 and five colors)

Promising review: "My second pair. Actually, it’s the arch: I have a medium arch that LOVES the way this shoe feels. Also, for me, the toe box is gloriously roomy. I can wiggle my toes, and air gets in — so they’re cool without socks. I am actually toying with the idea of writing a letter to Dansko asking them to continue manufacturing this model and offer more colors. Before ordering, I was dubious about the slightly dorky profile, but one reviewer mentioned that she kept them on all day when they arrived, so I had to try for myself. She was so right." —Laurie

Price: $144.95 (available in sizes 5.5–12 and four colors)

Promising review: "Finally, a really comfortable huarache-style shoe! The heels don't slip, moderate arch support and cushioning, and the fit is good overall. The sole provides some cushioning and doesn't slip on pavement like the traditional leather soles tend to do." —Susie

Price: $104.95 (available in wide fits, sizes 6–11, and two colors)

Promising review: "I needed a goldish color shoe to wear with a dressy outfit I wore to a wedding. I didn’t want to buy another dress shoe that would be worn only once and end up at the bottom of my closet. I saw this cutie in champagne and made it mine. These are true to size. The strap doesn’t slide down on me, and for sure, they’re versatile. I can wear these with jeans, to work, anywhere! The color champagne is so beautiful and neutral. I’ve been told they wash well. These were my first pair of Rothy’s. They really are better than knock-off brands. I’m glad I picked them up here." —KBEANS

Price: $139 (available in sizes 5–13 and 11 colors)
