Like these chic rain boots one reviewer walked 7+ miles in and reported: “No blisters, no regrets!”

As a shopping editor with over a decade of experience working in journalism and digital media, I cover everything from beauty and fashion to home, travel, gaming, and pets, and I'm constantly saving interesting products on TikTok (in *very* organized folders, mind you) to share with BuzzFeed readers.

Being a human who has to deal with the effects of gravity is already hard enough — let's not add an uncomfortable pair of shoes into the mix. When you're on your feet every day, you *need* a shoe that has cushioning to help guard against that inevitable ache, soft materials and adjustability to prevent painful rubbing, and a comfortable insole with arch support — is that so much to ask for? While everyone's foot is slightly different, reviewers have come to the consensus that these sandals, sneakers, and boots are truly made for walking. Blisters not included. 

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

Promising review: "These shoes were recommended as comfortable walking shoes. They absolutely are the best! I bought these shoes to have a stylish, casual shoe for a NYC/DC seven-day tour. I walked an average of 7–8 miles a day, even in a downpour. Not a single blister or pain of any kind. If you are searching for stylish, casual, and comfortable, then these are it. Easy on and off, water-resistant, and coordinates with all outfits." —S. Lee

Get them from Amazon for $33.15+ (available in sizes 4–14, including wide sizes, and in 19 styles). 

FYI, aside from their style and comfort, Tevas are *known* for their durability — one reviewer said their last pair lasted for EIGHT YEARS. This isn't your average sandal that falls apart after one season.  

According to Amazon reviewers, these tend to run large, so consider sizing down, especially if you're usually between sizes.

Promising review: "Got these for both daughters and myself for a beach hike trip. I walked over six miles with them, and my feet didn’t hurt; they dry pretty quickly, too. They quickly became one of my favorites." —Miss. Customer

Get them from Amazon for $45+ (available in sizes 5–14 and many styles). You can find a version available in men's sizes.

Promising review: "I brought these to DC for a wet weekend of sightseeing. Though tennis shoes would be the best option for the amount of walking we did, these were suitably comfortable and kept my feet dry for all 7+ miles we walked that day. (Not to mention how absolutely adorable they are!) No blisters, no regrets!" —RT

Get them from Amazon for $39.95 (available in sizes 6–11 and 17 styles).

Promising reviews: "Amazing. These shoes are so comfortable! I wear them for my daily 3-mile walk. They have a nice, wide toe area and so much cushion on the bottom. I was having some heel pain, but the support in these is amazing, no more pain. I’m considering getting another pair just to wear around the house because they’re more comfortable than slippers." —Sonya Kay

"As someone who owns a pair of Hokas, in my opinion, these are better. I have plantar fasciitis and work in a hospital. Believe me when I say this, I HAVE ZERO FOOT PAIN when I'm wearing these! For half the price and comfort, I will 100% recommend these to anyone." —Jennifer Emilien

Get them from Amazon for $69.99 (available in sizes 5.5–11 and eight colors).

Promising review: "This is my third pair of these sandals in three years. I keep buying them every year because they are the absolute best sandals I have ever had. I've worn them hiking for hundreds of miles through the Appalachian mountains, worn them to wander through miles of California's redwood forests, 7,000 feet up Mount Rainier, along winding trails at Mount St. Helens, and besides being comfortable and durable enough for all that hiking, they look super cute with a sundress and even very convenient to slip on to go to the grocery store. These sandals deserve ALL the stars and then some." —Lisa2197

Promising reviews: "I bought these to travel and wear in a hot environment with 4–7 miles of walking a day. They were fabulous! Comfortable from day one and perfect if you have any foot swelling at the end of a hiking, hot day." —Amazon Customer

"The straps are very soft, not itchy and stiff like most sandals. I've had several foot surgeries and require a lot of support, but I also want something cute and affordable. These check all the boxes!" —Cece

Get them from Amazon for $59.99 (available in sizes 6–11 and six colors). 

Promising review: "The first time I wore these was on a two-day trip to Disneyland. I was really nervous about wearing brand-new shoes on such a big trip, and brought backup shoes and bandages just in case. I walked nearly 20 miles in these over the course of two days and did not have one single ache or pain related to my shoes. Not only that, it was the best my legs and feet had ever felt on a Disney trip (and we’ve done it A LOT). I am absolutely sold. Plus, my husband told me like five times randomly throughout the trip how good they looked. Love!" —immjspyt

Get them from Amazon for $71.95 (available in sizes 5–11 and 20 colors). 

Promising review: "I didn't want to spend this much on a bootie, but I needed something stylish and waterproof. I was not disappointed! I took these on a recent trip to Europe, where we walked 10+ miles a day. My feet never hurt once! Even better, when I got home and cleaned them with a damp cloth, they looked almost brand new. Definitely recommend." —Jchilly

Get them from Amazon for $49.95+ (available in sizes 5.5–11 and in seven styles).

Promising reviews: "I walked around Epcot for 12 hours in these flip-flops. Not a single sore. So comfortable! Highly recommended." —tina roya

"These are AMAZING. The only flip-flops I’ve ever owned that I can literally walk all day in comfortably! Took them on an eight-day beach vacation and averaged 5.5 miles per day walking! They stick to your feet firmly — very little 'flopping' lol. I also have wide feet and have issues finding flip-flops and sandals that my feet won’t spill over the sides of. Amazing shoe. And for a Crocs product, not bad-looking!" —S Doeringsfeld

Get them from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes 4–11 and 14 colors). 

Reviewers swear these don't even have a break-in period, making them a great pickup for that last-minute outdoorsy trip where hiking and rough terrain are on the docket. Note that it's recommended to go up a half size in these boots to accommodate thicker hiking socks, and I found that to be true when I picked up these shoes myself — I'm normally an 8 but found an 8.5 in these to be totally comfortable. 

I also found that they held up well even on my first hike — though I did admittedly still have some soreness around my heel area, this was after a hard, 7+ mile hike with lots of rocks and climbing, so I don't blame the shoes. They felt comfortable right out of the box and super supportive when I was navigating rocks and rough terrain. And though I only stepped in water a couple of times briefly, my socks stayed dry too. I got the brown color with red laces as pictured above, and they're even cuter in person, which is just another plus.

Promising review: "These boots are the perfect hiking companion. I broke them in on a 7.5-mile hike with 1,900-foot elevation gain. The traction was perfect, downhill was slightly uncomfortable as my toes slid around (but this trail was a VERY steep descent, and a less steep grade probably wouldn't be felt much at all). After purchasing wool hiking socks, the shoes performed perfectly. I wore these in Yosemite on the mist trail and was able to test out the waterproof fabrics. My feet stayed completely dry through each puddle. The shoes are also very warm (due to the fabrics used in waterproofing). I've worn these in warm weather conditions as well, and my feet are hot, but the protection against rocks/roots outweighs the warm feet. The toes are also outfitted with extra protection (which is very helpful if you hike on the less maintained trails as your feet may easily slip between rocks and crush your toes). I've worn these on dirt, slick mud, granite cliffs, and rocky trails, and the shoes have not slipped and have cushioned every step. Overall, I'm very impressed." —B Smith

Get them from Amazon for $75+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 14 colors). 

Promising reviews: "I was expecting these to be the hard flip-flop material, but these are so cushy and comfortable. And they are really light! They are going to be the perfect vacation shoe!" —Kristie S.

"I now have these in four colors. My favorite shoe ever. They are super comfy. I’m a mom of two toddlers, and I can easily wear them while chasing them around the park. They go with everything, and I love all the colors. I’m an 8.5 but have a wider foot, so I sized up to 9, and they are perfect. I usually wear tennis shoes all the time, but they get dirty so easily. These are rubber and so easy to clean." —Melanie T.

Get them from Amazon for $69.95+ or direct from Reef for $80 (available in sizes 5–11 and 19 styles).

Promising reviews: "I bought these shoes prior to a long weekend getaway to New Orleans. They did not disappoint! I walked 14 miles in three days, and my feet were 100% comfortable! These shoes run true to size and were perfect for my size 7 narrow feet. Also, the arch support in these babies is amazing!" —Melissa

"These shoes are great! Wore them every day while in Italy, walking 7+ miles a day, and they are comfortable and durable. Would definitely recommend!" —Kevin

Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and three styles).

Promising reviews: "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

"Wow! I walked miles over cobblestones in these bad boys and had no discomfort. I was worried the price was too good to be true, but it’s not. They feel pricier than they are, and the comfort is incredible!" —Eric

Get them from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes 6–10 and 20 styles). 

Promising review: "I bought these sandals before a three-week trip in Europe; I didn't want to pay for Birks but did want something in a similar style with good arch support. I was a little skeptical about the low price, but I gave them a shot...and they were the MOST comfortable sandals I've ever owned. I walked over 120 miles in them in three weeks on our trip and never once had foot pain. They broke in so quickly and were very supportive from the get-go — and still are! Highly recommend." —Han Lin

Get them from Amazon for $34.98 (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 20 styles).

The seller recommends checking the size chart, which details the best size for your foot length. The back strap is also adjustable!

Promising review: "Comfy and trendy enough. I like 'em! I prefer not to wear shoes that don't have a back. It's my paranoia that I'll have to break out in a run at some point. But these work very well. I walk miles in them without discomfort. Plus, they're cute. Trends up any casual outfit. They are not Croc- or Birkenstock-level comfort because the sole is not cushioned, but it is carved out just right for the naked foot. Update: Just came back from a month in Costa Rica during the rainy season, and I'm so glad I brought these! They held up so well getting through muddy pebble streets. The soles were thick enough not to feel the rocks beneath me and keep my toes from getting in the dirt. When I got in, I just washed them off. The white color held up in all that, and they never felt uncomfortable or as if they would come off my feet (a concern I have about sandals without ankle straps). They are excellent value. Get 'em!" —MelRay

Get them from Amazon for $18.99 (available in sizes 6–10 and two colors).

Promising review: "These Ghost Max 2 are the best shoes I’ve ever owned! 100% worth buying. I would recommend these shoes to anyone who walks, stands, or runs a lot. I love that they come in an extra-wide option. It is extremely hard to find shoes that do, but the nice thing is that they also sell normal width. I have worn these shoes even on vacation and walking over 10 miles daily, and my feet still didn’t hurt! I will never buy a different brand of tennis shoes!" —Jennifer Lynn Jopp

Get them from Amazon for $135+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide *and* extra-wide sizes, and 18 colorways). 

This particular style fits true to size, though it's recommended to go a half size up for a roomier fit or if you have wider feet. The two straps are also flexible and adjustable.

I have a pair of Rothy's flats, and they're super comfy and feel so lightweight and stretchy! I have them in the neutral Ecru color, but they come in a ton of gorgeous colors and I'm always tempted to snag them in more styles. Psst — check out my colleagues' full Rothy's flats review for more deets!

Promising review: "I wore these to a two-day conference where I walked for miles. They were so comfortable and completed my business attire. I'm delighted I purchased them!" —Renate

Get them from Rothy's for $165 (available in sizes 5–13 and in eight colors/patterns). Rothy's flats come in a bunch of other styles, too!

Vivaia is a small shoe brand founded in 2020 with the mission to create stylish and high-quality footwear. Many of the brand's shoes are made from recycled water bottles, and they've implemented a production process that actively works to reduce waste. 

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "You probably recognize the brand name from a bajillion Instagram posts that are like 'I DANCED THE NIGHT AWAY IN THESE HEELS!!' for the heeled version of these, but damn if they aren't right. These didn't cut into the back of my heel at all, and felt comfy enough that I walked as easily as I would in my usual sneakers, if not easier since these are SO so lightweight. I took these on a recent trip to London where I was walking 20,000+ steps a day, and can confirm they hold up in rain." 

Promising review: "So comfortable. I wore them almost every day during an eight-day trip to Italy. They stood up to walking 10+ miles a day, and I loved being able to wash and dry them quickly. They were also perfect for including in my relatively small backpack because they’re so lightweight." —Shirley L.

Get them from Vivaia for $79+ (originally $129; available in sizes 5–13 and in 12 styles). 

Promising reviews: "This shoe is so incredibly comfortable, it makes you feel like you’re wearing a soft glove on your feet. The padding feels like you’re walking on a cloud, not to mention they are so stylish. I highly recommend!!!" —AJ

"I couldn’t be happier with these flats! As a result of them dropping in price, I purchased four pairs in varying colors to wear with jeans and sweaters. Not only do they look cute, but they are also decently padded and comfortable. I have been buying Vivaia flats for over $100, and these look just as good and are more comfortable to wear." —PSK

Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in sizes 6–10 and 14 colors and patterns).

FYI, these are best suited for narrow to medium-sized feet. 

Promising reviews: "I literally got compliments on them everywhere we went, and they were so comfortable I could wear them all day walking miles and miles through the streets of New Orleans, and my feet didn't hurt (and that's a small miracle given I have arthritis). They are surprisingly durable, and the woven fabric tops are incredibly soft and comfy. Even when my feet swelled due to the heat and humidity in New Orleans, these were still pretty darn comfy as compared to other shoes I brought along on the trip." —UrbanUtah

"These sandals are like cotton candy clouds for your feet. Basically the Rolls-Royce of sandals." —A. Alphonse

Get them from Amazon for $34.95 (available in sizes 5–11 and 21 colors).

Promising reviews: "I’m shocked at how comfortable and attractive these are! I was looking for shoes I can wear in tropical rain in Florida that aren’t flip-flops; rain boots, even clogs, are way too heavy. These are perfect! I got them in black, and I can wear them with anything and go anywhere in them. They’re light, they’re cushion-y, and they fit like a proper shoe. I think they’re true to size. Can’t wait to get more colors! Note: The scent (strawberry candy?) is noticeable but mild, and is fading after only a few days. I could do without it, but it’s not a deal breaker." —Miss EO

"I absolutely love these jellies. Totally retro and cool (they hearken back to my childhood in the 80s) and are incredibly comfortable. No blisters at all with these...which is good because my feet seem to want to get blisters every time I put on a pair of shoes!" —Amy

Get them from Amazon for $79 (available in sizes 5–13 and 38 styles). 

Promising reviews: "Where they really shine is the insole. My feet feel like they are walking on a cloud. They have since become my favorite casual boot, and I would recommend them to everyone." —Joseph A.

"I love these shoes! Typically upon getting a new pair of ankle boots, there is a 'wearing-in' process that is sometimes painful. I wore these and on my first day, they were great! No blisters, nothing! They have great support and a just-tight-enough hug around the ankles. I love these! I’ve been waiting a while to save up for them...worth every penny!" —Brit C. Howard

Get them from Amazon for $209.95 (available in women's sizes 6–15, men's sizes 4–13, and in six colors). Note that Blundstone half sizes refer only to width, not length.

Most reviewers suggest sizing up, especially if you're between sizes, so they're not too tight.

Promising reviews: "If you have never been to Mardi Gras in New Orleans, let me just say it gets a little gross. The streets I mean. The best thing about these shoes is that you can wash them off, and they are just like new. I washed them in the sink every day, and they always kept me dry and vomit-free. I walked for miles and miles a day, and they never hurt my feet. No blisters or soggy socks from the rain or drunk people juice. I even wore them on my float in the Morpheus parade, where standing for five or six hours and throwing beads can be a big ask for my feet and shoes. You may just need something for gardening or rainy days, but these are Mardi Gras-approved, so I think they can handle whatever you've got going on." —Bonita Blackwell

"These are wonderful. I was looking for a waterproof shoe to walk the shelter pups in the rain. These fit snugly to not let water in, and have a good thick sole, and are so comfortable. I can walk the miles I need to every day and not hurt my feet." —Sammy

Get them from Amazon for $34.99 (available in sizes 6–11 and 27 prints). These come in a tall boot form, too!

Promising review: "I bought these boots for a trip to London and Dublin. Knowing there would be lots of rain, I needed something to keep my feet dry. I was concerned for comfort of wearing a rain boot. These boots did not disappoint. They were actually so much more comfortable than I could have imagined. They didn’t rub pan too either like some of the booties do. We walked 10 miles a day, right out to package. No blisters or discomfort. I would recommend them to anyone. You must wear socks with them, so plan for sizing accordingly. I logged 40,000 steps in these boots and now use them as daily barn boots. Great price and great product, cute too." —Kindra Nyberg

Get them from Amazon for $29.97 (available in sizes 5–9.5 and six colors).

FYI: Many reviewers suggest sizing down!

Promising reviews: "So, I bought these for a vacay I was taking to Texas. I knew I’d be doing a lot of walking in hot weather. They were AMAZING. Even better than I had hoped. Here’s what I did in them: [used as] shower shoes, water shoes in a river, mild hiking, walked at least a few miles, danced, and even used electric scooters. Not one issue! They were more comfortable and softer than any other shoes I have. I had been wearing regular flat sandals on the first day, and by the end of the day, I had two big blisters. So, day two, I wore these sandals, and I couldn’t even feel the blisters. I joked that I felt like these sandals were my 'power up' for the trip!" —Stacey

"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 $19.98+ (available in women's sizes 4–16, men's sizes 3–14, and 15 colors).

Allbirds are known for their superior comfort, and the Tree Runners are no exception. Its shoelaces are even made from recycled plastic bottles! And as needed, these can be tossed in the wash and set out to air dry without losing their shape. 

FWIW, my partner owns these in *multiple* colors and swears by them as his everyday shoe — like, he's a walking Allbirds ad. (I haven't picked up the Tree Runners yet, but I do swear by their wool style for chillier weather!) 

Promising reviews: "I have been traveling in Europe, averaging 10 miles a day, and my feet do not hurt at all. The shoes provide the comfort and support that I need." —Amanda M.

"Like walking on clouds. Wore these all through Spain and Portugal and referred to them as 'my magic shoes.' So comfortable with great support. They are my go-to shoe for running errands too." —April C. 

Get them from Allbirds for $100 (available in women's sizes 5–11, men's sizes 8–14, and six styles).

Promising review: "I'm super picky about shoes but since discovering Chacos a few years back, I can't go back. These are the best hiking sandals ever. I hiked all around the Grand Canyon, Bryce, Zions, Yellowstone, and Arches with my old pair (which is still going strong after several years of use). They grip like nobody's business, dry quickly, and are secure and comfortable on your feet. I honestly can't hike in any other shoes. I'm not a fan of the toe wrap, but this style is the bomb, and the thin double straps and bright colors are so cute. I'm a true 8.5, but the 8 in Chacos fits perfectly. Size down for half sizes. These run a bit big. Chacos are best suited for feet with high arches. My husband couldn't wear them with his flat feet." —3dogs&a-girl

Get them from Amazon for $60.96+ (available in sizes 5–12 and nine styles).

Promising reviews: "I walked 10 miles in DC wearing these. My feet did not give me any trouble until the last mile! I got so many compliments. Fantastic purchase." —Callie King

"I love these sandals. I got soo many compliments when I wear them. They are incredibly comfortable. They are lightweight, they have a great padded footbed, and I wore them walking around on vacation all day. The colors is great and will go with anything. They are quiet and not clunky when I walk. I loved them so much, I bought more in other colors and styles." —Kristin

Get them from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes 5–12 and in many colors).

Promising reviews: "The comfiest shoe ever. I've literally walked 15 miles a day in the shoe and didn't get feet cramps like I normally do. Love, love, love this product!" —GBB

"I wear these literally EVERY DAY — those shoes you slip on to dash out the door. If I could live in flip-flops, I would, and these Reefs are the best. Durable, with a slight arch support. I've tried to walk a day in those super flat, super minimal flip-flops, and cannot do it. Reefs have a good cushion, and will last an entire summer or more (depending on how much you wear them, of course). These are my daily, reliable shoe in the summer." —Graciebird

Promising reviews: "I bought these Sanuk flip-flops over two years ago in Florida when I went on vacation. My feet were killing me from wearing my regular flip-flops, so I went to the stores and found them. I walked for miles in these. I just purchased two more and will come back for more colors. They are the most comfortable flip-flops I have ever, ever, ever worn. I'm going to Florida in April and will be bringing them again so I can walk for miles and miles without my feet hurting. Get them, you won't regret it!!!" —magdalena alos

"These are my favorite. As a Southern Californian, I wear flip-flops year-round. The last pair of Sanuk Yoga Mat flip-flops I bought lasted through almost three years of constant wear (they were basically the only shoes I wore for three years, so I'm serious when I say constant). They're comfortable enough to wear for a day at Disneyland, even with arthritic joints." —beth

Promising reviews: "Love, love, love! I have a VERY difficult time finding sandals that fit my narrow foot. These are the most comfortable sandals I've ever owned. I can tighten them to fit my feet and walk for hours. My first pair went to Italy and Greece with me, and it's the only shoe I wore the entire three-week trip. I have started to buy in other colors and currently own three pairs." —Robin A. Laehn

"I wore these for 10 straight hours with over six miles of walking right out of the box and had zero foot pain. I’m 61, and my feet are often achy. I used to wear thong sandals, but can’t stand anything between my toes anymore, so I decided to try these. Now, I want them in every color. They fit true to size and have great arch support. We had to walk down an extremely steep hill, and they had plenty of traction to keep me from slipping." —EGC

Promising reviews: "Wore these walking miles and miles around Paris and Barcelona. Very comfortable. Lightweight. No blisters or soreness. I did need socks with enough height not to slip below the edge. They barely look used even with all the mileage." —James

"Holy grail sneaker. I've been wearing them for almost a year and they're still in good shape. I have a backup pair ready to go, and I'm ordering a third pair today. That's how much I love them and I never want to be without. They can be worn casual but also look professional enough to wear to work. They are light as a cloud and I forget I'm wearing them. Most shoes rub against my heel (I have Haglund's) but these don't bother me at all. This style is easily worn with pants, leggings and skirts, not an easy feat. I wear them to work and they even got me through three days of Comic-Con without any blisters. PLEASE never stop making these shoes. They are, by far, the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever had." —Leota

Promising review: "I paid for tickets to the Bronx Zoo for me and two of my friends. Turns out when the day came to go, the weather was nasty and we were forced to attend in the rain or lose the money for the tickets. I originally purchased these boots for walking the dog when it was wet or drizzling out, but did not intend to use them for long walks. Turns out, they are great for long walks. We walked about four miles around the zoo, and not once did my feet hurt. They are warm and comfortable, and I highly recommend them." —Michelle M.

Promising review: "Absolutely love these boots! I needed a pair of sturdy hiking boots that looked cute, would last a long time, were water-resistant, and would wipe off easily after a muddy day. I wore these for roughly two miles of hiking and maybe two miles of walking to break them in before wearing them for a 9-mile hike in the Appalachians. I was so impressed with how comfortable they were, just the right amount of grip, they were warm, and they kept my feet dry and my ankles supported. 10/10 I would buy these again and will definitely be buying a second pair once the first pair is worn out." —Emma

Promising review: "I bought these sandals for my first trip to New York. They arrived the day I left for NYC, so I took them out of the box and threw them in my suitcase. I put them on the minute we got there and wore them for FIVE DAYS STRAIGHT! No blisters, no chafing, no problems. They are light, comfortable, and cute! I cannot say enough good things about these lovely sandals. They totally saved my feet, and I put approximately 40 miles on them. Completely recommend!" —Holly K. Palmer

Promising review: "I walked 8.3 miles in these heels and have no regrets. I wore these for the very first time for Disneyland's Dapper Day, and I was OVERWHELMINGLY surprised with how comfortable they were! I have never bought shoes on Amazon before and was worried that the fit and or quality would make me regret my purchase. But truly, it was far from it. The heel is the perfect height to give you a lift and wide enough for you to feel secure! The strap when fitted snug around your ankle can be a bit irritating when it rubs, so I loosened them. At the end of the day, the balls of my feet were a bit sore, but that's just the effects of Disney. But I'm happy to report that I have no blisters, and I can't wait to wear them out again!" —cissyjworstell

Promising review: "They provide great support. I have plantar fasciitis and two heel spurs on each heel that are very painful when I walk. I have to walk four to five miles a day for work, and those sandals are excellent support, providing immediate relief to my tired feet. Also, during summer, they are good-looking to wear out or on days I get my pedicure. Worth every penny." —Marcela B

Promising review: "Amazingly comfortable! I have a hard time wearing flip-flops because they give little or no support. However, these flip-flops are so supportive that I walked four miles in them without even thinking about my feet!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I absolutely love these shoes! I originally bought them for a trip to Washington, D.C., where it was going to rain most of the time. I have Hunter rain boots, but knew we would be walking a lot and didn't want to be 'weighed down' on the trip. I was four months pregnant and wore these for two of the days where we walked over 9 miles each day (ugh!), and these were SOO COMFORTABLE! My feet didn't have any blisters or sore spots (which I am very prone to) and handled the rain/puddles like a champ! I love that they looked like normal shoes, but wiped clean with a baby wipe! Totally surprised by the comfort and quality of these rain shoes. I now use them when in the garden or anytime it rains! Also, the inside sole of the shoe comes out pretty easily, which annoyed me at first until I wanted to wash it to keep the inside smelling fresh — so now it's a bonus! BUY THESE!" —AmazonFamily

Promising review: "I absolutely love these shoes. I bought my first pair years ago when I was preparing to travel to Italy and I knew I was going to do a lot of walking. I have horrible back pain if I don’t wear the right shoes, but these were perfect. Super cute and stylish with a doable price. It took no time to break in the shoe for me and I walked about 15–20 miles a day in them. Hardest part was cleaning them if my dog ever stepped on my foot with a muddy paw... everything else is perfect. Definitely recommend to everyone I know and strangers whenever I receive compliments on the look." —Loves Shoes!

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Rachel Dunkel says, "The level of comfort in every Dansko shoe is nearly incomprehensible. The insole is somewhat hard, but in a remarkably good way that almost massages the arches of my feet when I walk. It's a unique feeling that requires a little getting used to, but once I did, holy moly, it was an eye-opening experience of what shoes can be. I know that sounds dramatic, but I'm not alone — the cult-status of Danskos is real and well-deserved. If you've been struggling to find a shoe that fully supports your feet all day, give these a try. They definitely don't look like they'd be the most stable, but I never feel more sure-footed than when I'm in my Danskos. These are my newest Danskos at a year and a half old, but looking at the sole, leather, and sturdy buckle, you know they're just at the beginning of their long life. I've yet to try Dansko's original clogs, but am running out of excuses not to!"

Promising review: "Accommodates my bunions, which make my foot a little wide; these shoes don't make my feet look super wide like some other clog brands that are great for wider feet, or feet with bunions. These are great with slacks, leggings and maxi dresses! I appreciate the adjustable strap, too, as my foot isn't wide all over, just wide at the toe box area. I like the lower heel-to-toe drop: higher heels put too much pressure on my toes. These will be great at work where I walk six miles a day in the hospital, as the foot bed is wonderfully cushioned, too. This shoe hits all the marks I look for in a shoe." —BlueSkyFine
