Highly rated review: These shoes are a total favorite! I decided to get the black pair after having the beet red color for about a year and a half. They were comfy right from the start, the leather feels soft, and they have a premium look. I'm thrilled with my purchase. These are often compared to the Brixton loafer from a luxury brand." —Christine
Price: $150 (available in sizes 4–14, wide, and various colors and patterns)
2. A pointed-toe flat so versatile, it's basically a blazer in shoe form. Pairing these with any outfit instantly adds a professional touch.


Highly recommended review: "I was searching for a comfortable, slip-on flat that I could wear to work. This shoe is exactly what I needed. The material is both durable and soft, providing excellent foot support, and its style complements nearly any outfit. I plan to get more colors. It fits true to size and even came with an extra pair of inserts. I'm very pleased with this purchase and would definitely recommend it." —Debbie Morales

Highly praised review: "These boots are incredibly comfortable and absolutely gorgeous. I walked around New York City for days in them without any discomfort. The black glossy crocodile texture is breathtaking, and I received so many compliments. For the price, they are an amazing value and feel like top quality. The toe shape with the thick heel is very trendy. They fit perfectly." —Libby Patterson
Price: $59.99 (available in sizes 6–11 and five colors)
4. Chelsea boots that, even with a substantial heel, are so comfortable you'll want to wear them all day. These boots are ideal for weekends filled with coffee runs and bookstore adventures.

Highly recommended review: "I absolutely love these boots — they are remarkably comfortable for heeled boots and I can wear them all day at work without any discomfort. Although I've only gone through one winter with them (in Chicago), they still look fantastic! I also sprayed them with a water protectant, and it didn't affect the suede at all, so I would highly recommend these." —Sarasri
Price: $42.99 (available in sizes 5–11 and nine colors)
5. A pair of timeless ballet flats that can easily become your go-to “errand” shoes, as they effortlessly elevate any outfit without sacrificing comfort (thanks to the cozy memory foam lining).

Reviewers recommend going half a size up!
Highly praised review: "I typically avoid buying cheap shoes because, generally speaking, you get what you pay for. But THESE are incredibly comfortable, gorgeous, and don’t look cheap at all.

Price: $26.99 (available in sizes 6–10 and 59 colors).

7. Classic Reebok sneakers that are both stylish *and* comfortable, with users praising their ability to walk all day without any discomfort.


Highly praised review: "I bought these shoes mainly because of the affordable price. I wasn’t expecting them to be so comfortable and stylish!

Price: $89.99 (available in sizes 5–11 and seven colors)
8. Tie-back thigh-high heeled boots that I suggest styling with a mini skirt and a cozy sweater. The result will be *chef’s kiss* and I bet you already have a similar look pinned to your Pinterest board. Prove me wrong.


Highlighted review: "THESE ARE AMAZING BOOTS! They fit perfectly. The heel is the perfect height, and they rise just enough to give that over-the-knee vibe. I'm 5'9", and they fit just above my knee! Super comfy and the faux suede feels fantastic! I love them in burgundy, black, and tan/khaki! Highly recommend these boots!" —RL
Price: $49.99 (available in sizes 5–11 and 10 colors)
9. Chic London Fog rain booties that make me want to relocate to Seattle, Washington just so I can wear these boots daily. All I want to do is wear these boots and jump in puddles!


Highly rated review: "I took these with me on a rainy weekend in DC for sightseeing. While tennis shoes would have been the ideal choice for all the walking we did, these were comfortable enough and kept my feet dry even after walking more than seven miles that day. (Not to mention, they're absolutely adorable!) No blisters, no complaints!" —RT
Price: $44.95 (available in sizes 6–11 and 18 different styles)
10. Platform Converse sneakers represent the epitome of classic style. These platform shoes are timeless — they never go out of fashion. The best part? They go perfectly with virtually anything, making them a win-win for any wardrobe.


Mytour Shopping writer Rachelle Yang shares her experience with these shoes: "I've had these for three years, but it was finally time to part with them. 🥲 I initially got them because I have weak ankles and needed support, but these shoes did so much more. The platforms ended up being more comfortable than I expected, and I wore them constantly. From concerts to hikes to the beach, they held up through everything. Never once did I feel uncomfortable in them, and on top of all that, they're SO incredibly cute!!!"
Promising review: "I've had many pairs of Converse over the years, and these are by far the most comfortable. The platform adds extra cushion to the soles, making them super comfy. Plus, they’re adorable, and who wouldn’t want to be a couple of inches taller? :) Now I just need to get them in black!" —Jennifer Kaul
Price: $75+ (available in sizes 5.5–12 and 14 styles)
11. Western boots are, in my opinion, more enjoyable than a roundtrip ticket to Nashville (no long security lines, no fees for carry-ons, etc.). These knee-highs feature a comfortable, chunky heel, a soft jersey lining, anti-slip soles, and pull tabs, making them an absolute dream to wear.


Promising review: "These boots are fantastic! Super comfy. I have thick calves, and they fit perfectly — not tight at all. They stay up well and don’t slouch, maintaining their shape. As a busy mom, these boots are great when I want to look a little more put together without worrying about them getting scuffed and costing a fortune. Perfect for casual or dressy outfits." —Amazon Customer
Price: $62.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and eight colors)
12. A pair of slingback heels that can elevate (yes, that's a word, look it up) nearly any outfit: from mini skirts and cozy sweaters to skinny jeans and classic white crewnecks, and beyond.


Promising review: "This Chanel [alternative] is currently very fashionable. I wear them to work often with dark denim and a blazer, or with white jeans and a blazer. The heel is the perfect height, adding a slight lift to my 5'4" frame without causing discomfort. I appreciate the slingback style because it stays securely in place without rubbing or shifting — plus, it adds an interesting touch to my usual black or nude pumps I wear to the office daily. I’m a size 6 with narrow feet, and these fit true to size. I’m confident these shoes will last for many years. They’re a wardrobe staple without the hefty Chanel price tag. Absolutely love them!" —ND
Price: $49.99+ (available in sizes 5–12 and six colors)
13. Thigh-high boots offer the ideal blend: ultra-elegant in appearance yet surprisingly comfortable, allowing you to look chic and polished without feeling like you're balancing on stilts.

Price: $47.99 (available in sizes 5.5–11 and 19 colors)
14. Platform knee-highs that make you feel undeniably ~badass~ every time you slip them on. These boots give off the same vibe as being in a rock band and playing bass. (No need to know how to play an instrument.)

Promising review: "I absolutely love these! They’re incredibly comfortable for all-day wear — stable and supportive. I once ran full speed after a 75-pound dog, and I didn’t trip or break my ankle. Ultimate stompers. Don’t miss out on these." —Rachael
Price: $32.98 (available in sizes 5.5–10 and five styles)
15. Hiking boots that are making me, someone who isn't a fan of winter, look forward to the gloomy months ahead. These fleece-lined boots are the footwear equivalent of a Hallmark movie, a cup of hot cocoa, and a mystery novel that TikTok snobs would call "badly written" — in other words, the definition of cozy.

Promising review: "These boots are fantastic. They fit comfortably with no pinching. By far the most stylish fall and winter boots I’ve owned. The shearling and material are luxurious and rich, plus the laces are easy to tie. I absolutely love them." —Lorelei O'Hagan
Price: $71.03+ (available in sizes 5–13 and four colors)

17. Cozy slip-on booties with a chunky heel and a soft, fuzzy lining that guarantees comfort, plus an adjustable shaft that means you’re essentially getting *two* pairs of cute shoes for the price of one.


Promising review: "I’m wearing them right now! I’m usually wary about buying shoes online since I can’t be sure how they’ll fit or how they’ll look. But I fell in love with the look of these, so I took a chance. They’re unbelievably comfortable. They look absolutely FABULOUS, and they don’t make any noise when I walk. Super quiet!" —Jaya
Price: $49.99+ (available in sizes 4.5–11.5 and in six different colors)

Price: $38.03 (available in sizes 5–13, including wide fits, and four colors)
19. Dr. Scholl's wedge booties featuring a memory foam insole for cushioned comfort, allowing you to hypothetically walk 500 miles (and perhaps 500 more) without discomfort. Not all heroes wear capes.

Promising review: "I absolutely adore these boots. They’re so soft and comfy that I don’t want to wear any other heeled shoes! I bought the taupe color, and now I want the darker brown pair as well! Who knew Dr. Scholl's made such stylish shoes?!" —Chelsey

20. Sam Edelman sneakers offering a classic white sneaker style that goes perfectly with everything you’ve packed, from comfy airport leggings to a bodycon dress for that Eiffel Tower photo op.


Promising review: "These shoes are hands down the best I’ve ever owned. I bought them for a trip to Europe and wore them every day for two weeks. They held up remarkably well and are incredibly comfy. I can easily wipe them clean with a damp towel, and they look brand new every time. Even after returning from my vacation, I still wear them every day because of how comfortable they are, and they match nearly everything. They’re versatile enough to wear with dresses, pants, or shorts." —photomom
Price: $60 (available in sizes 5–12 and 16 colors)
21. Columbia hiking boots represent perfection, blending both style and function seamlessly. Reviewers rave about the top-notch quality, immediate comfort, and the superb traction these waterproof boots provide.

Psst, most customers suggest ordering a half size larger!
Promising review: "These shoes are incredible. The laces stay secure, so even with thin socks, my foot doesn’t slide around. There's also enough space for thicker socks, like wool or fuzzy ones. For me, they didn’t require any breaking in — this is a big deal. I can’t stand shoes that need time to 'break in.' These felt perfect from the start. I tested them out on a 5-mile hike on a tough Washington trail. No blisters. Today, I wore them on an 8-mile hike up a steep hill, and wow — they were fantastic." —Stevie
Price: $48.14+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide fits and 20 colors)

Highly rated by customers: "Tested on travels and approved — LOVE!! A friend who’s a hairdresser recommended these, since she’s always standing.

They matched so many outfits, and I couldn’t have been happier! I strongly recommend them!" —Leah Gwin Hoefling
"These shoes were suggested as the perfect walking shoes. They truly are the best! I bought them to have a stylish, casual shoe for a week-long NYC/DC trip. I walked 7–8 miles daily, even through heavy rain. No blisters or discomfort of any kind. If you’re looking for a blend of style, comfort, and ease, these are the ones. They’re easy to put on and take off, water-resistant, and go with everything." —S. Lee

Highly praised review: "I bought these boots for my travels after seeing them recommended on various travel blogs. Although the brand claims they’re waterproof, I decided to spray them with a suede protectant for extra protection. I just returned from a trip to Barcelona, where I wore them all day for multiple days. We walked roughly six miles a day, and my feet were completely comfortable. (They’re much more comfortable than my old pair of Cole Haan Chelsea boots that these replaced.) On one rainy day, they kept my feet dry without issue. Furthermore, the rain had no impact on the boots, and they still look brand new. I’m planning to bring them with me to London and Paris next month. They also pair well with tights for work. Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend them." —HEO1121
Price: $116.18 (available in sizes 5.5–12, including wide sizes, and 10 styles)

Price: $83.32+ (available in sizes 5–14 and 13 colors)
25. Adidas Cloudfoam Pure lace-up sneakers are aptly named because of their incredible comfort. Not only do these shoes look fantastic (::prays for athleisure to never go out of style::), but they’ll truly make you feel like you’re walking on air.

Highly rated review: "These shoes are hands down the best I’ve ever owned, and I’m a complete shoe enthusiast! When I say I’ve worn them all day and they feel like walking on clouds, they really do! I no longer have to worry about my toes being cramped or feeling constricted due to the lack of flexibility in the toe area (which normally leaves my feet sore). These shoes are soft, flexible, and breathable. Honestly, they’ve completely transformed the comfort of my feet! No pain, and they look fantastic." —L Clark
Price: $58.99+ (available in sizes 5–10 and nine color options)
26. Franco Sarto knee-high boots that pair beautifully with your sweater and skirt outfits — reviewers rave about their comfort as well.

28. Blundstone Chelsea boots suitable for nearly every activity, from hiking to grabbing your morning coffee. These premium leather boots are water-resistant, offer solid traction, feature an ergonomically designed toe spring, and come with a removable comfort footbed.

Highly recommended review: "I’m in love! I live in NYC, and these boots are perfect for city walking in all kinds of weather. The first time I slipped them on, it felt like walking on springs — the cushioning is incredible. I wore thicker socks during the break-in period (two layers) and got blisters on my heels, but once my heels toughened up, they were good to go. Now, they’re the only shoes I wear. My favorite part is the pull handles at the front and back, which make it easy to get the boots on. There’s also enough space to comfortably fit thick mountaineering socks for cold days. I’ve worn them in rain and snow without any water getting in." —AJ
Price: $199.95+ (available in sizes 6–11 and three colors)
29. Square-toe boots that are destined to be your new favorite. By 'favorite,' I mean your go-to shoe — the kind of effortlessly stylish option that pulls you through when you're short on time and energy, like when you’ve got five minutes to get ready, a white crewneck, high-waisted jeans, messy hair, and little patience.


Positive review: "Super comfortable and stylish boots! Exactly as shown in the picture. The heel is the perfect height, making me taller without being too high to walk naturally. The zipper glides easily and stays up without slipping over time. I’m very pleased with this purchase." —Rebecca Henry
Price: $74.90 (available in sizes 5–13 and five color options)
