Promising review: "These shoes are so cute! They are amazingly lightweight, very cool, and comfortable. I plan to use them for walking/hiking and for work shoes!" —M H.

Get them from Amazon for $49.25+ (available in sizes 5–1.5 and four colors).

Promising review: "I have ordered several pairs trying to find the one that lives up to its hype, well this one is it. Super cushy, fits true to size — I ordered the mauvish pink colored one and love it. I will be ordering a black pair. I have a heel spur and plantar fasciitis so regular flip-flops bother me after wearing several hours, these do not. Very pleased with this purchase and highly recommend." —leah

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–12 and 30 colors).

Promising review: "I read a review that someone else said they run a half size to small and I sized up. I am so glad I did because they fit perfectly. I have been wearing them everywhere since I got them and they are very comfy." —Chelsea L. Keltner

Get them from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes 6–12 and 20 colors; also available in wide fits).

Promising review: "I’m pregnant and started getting sore feet with all of my other shoes. These are the only ones I can last in all day long. I would not hesitate to buy these if you need comfort." —Ariel

Get them from Amazon for $55.81+ (available in sizes 5–11 and three colors; also available in wide fits).

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

Get them from Amazon for $18.74+ (available in sizes 4–11 and 11 colors).

Promising review: "I bought these for walking long distances in my city. I wanted something to look cute but be comfortable. The leather is a bit stiff so I wore them for short distances a few times before wearing them out to do errands. I covered three miles in them yesterday then went to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers and danced for two hours, and my feet felt great! I'm a high heel girl, but if you need comfortable soft sandals, these are the ones. BTW, TONS of compliments, too." —Chris Quinlivan & Dion Serene

Get them from Amazon for $79.95+ (available in sizes 5–11 and two colors).

Note that this style runs narrow, and the store recommends ordering a wider width.

Promising reviews: "Best heels ever! After reading all the hype, I bought two pairs. They are so incredibly comfortable, you feel like you are walking on cushy, flat shoes!! I even walked and sometimes ran in them in airports while traveling across the globe for 20 hours straight, and my feet weren’t a bit tired or achy. They fit like a glove. The cross straps at the toes make my feet look so delicate. They are by far my favorite shoes. Can’t wait for Christmas, since my husband will be gifting me my third pair!!" —Tania W.

"It's sooooo difficult to find narrow-width shoes. And while these were not cheap, they are a true narrow width and fit perfect. The lower, chunky heal makes them comfortable for wearing all day at the office, and I log some miles at the office each day. The only reason I'm not giving a 5-star is that all the photos online show these are being way more taupe than rose. They are VERY pink. Still a nice neutral." —Hapuna B.

Get them from Margaux for $325 (available in sizes 2.5–14, including medium, narrow, and wide sizes, and 11 styles).

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

Several BuzzFeed Shopping staffers *swear* by their Birks — you can read their thoughts here (#1) and here (#3).

Promising review: "This is my second pair of Birkenstocks. My first pair is 9 years old and has lasted with regular washing/oiling on leather and I expect this pair to last just as long with good care. Super comfy and supportive for individuals with high arches. Great price for the value and last a long time. Definitely recommend as a shoe staple for your closet! " —Catdiva77

Get them from Amazon for $89.95+ (available in sizes 4–16.5, including narrow sizes, and in dozens of styles — not all styles are available in all sizes).

Promising review: "If you are looking for a shoe that is cute and comfortable, look no further! This shoe is everything! I wore this shoe all day long walking through the streets of Paris and Florence. And when I say walk, I mean walk...some days up to 10 miles. I brought three other pairs of shoes and ended up wearing these pretty much every day. The platform heel was just the right height, and the sole was almost like memory foam and seemed to absorb the pressure from all the standing and walking. The straps did not rub my feet and were easy to open, close, and adjust. Great shoe if you are on the go! I would highly recommend." —Jay

Get them from Amazon for $41.24+ (available in sizes 4–11 and 18 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 similar style with good arch support. I was a little skeptical about the low price, but 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 $24.99+ (available in sizes 6–12, 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: "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 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 to not 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 $17.99 (available in sizes 6–10 and two colors).

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.

Promising reviews: "Bought these for a hiking trip where I knew my feet might get wet. These were great even in some pretty steep, slippery areas. Hiked 17 miles in one day, and my feet still felt great! I did size down and so glad I did!" —Holly Benning

"Comfiest shoes on the planet. I bought them for my trip to Thailand, which included a heavy amount of walking and hiking. I now wear them all the time, even for non-adventurous activities. They are so darn comfortable, and have great grip." —Caroline V.

Get them from Amazon for $37.58+ (available in sizes 5–13 and 19 styles). You can find a version available in men's sizes here.

Promising reviews: "Absolutely love these! They are so comfy that I can walk miles in them without my feet hurting. They also go with every outfit and can easily be dressed up or down." —Cassidy

"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

Get them from Amazon for $62.81+ (available in sizes 5.5–12 and nine styles).

It's recommended to go half a size up if you have narrow feet and a full size up for wider feet in this particular style! I can back this up — I have a pair of Rothy's flats, and though I usually wear an 8, I went with an 8.5, and they fit perfectly. Though I haven't had the chance to wear them a *ton* (because I WFH most days), I have commuted in them several times with no issues. 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 — if I were going into the office regularly, I'd be tempted to grab them in multiple shades. Psst: I'm not the only BuzzFeeder who adores these — check out our full Rothy's flats review for more deets!

Promising review: "The deep vibrant color is gorgeous! Fit exactly as expected from my other pair of Rothy’s. I am traditionally 8 in many shoes, an 8.5 in a few brands. I am a perfect 8.5 in these. Love these shoes. ♥️ This is my second pair and still no blisters/rub spots, even when brand new. And I walk about five miles a day between buildings at work!" —Michael K.

Get them from Rothy's for $129 (available in sizes 5–13 and 20 colors/patterns). Rothy's flats come in a bunch of different styles, and you can check them out here!

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.

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 it from Vivaia for $79+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 30 styles).

Promising reviews: "Don't hesitate any further, just buy them! I am super picky about shoes, especially sandals, and these are so comfortable. I wore them for hours walking around downtown and no blisters, no discomfort, nothing. They look amazing, too!" —Summer

"I wear them with most of my shorts to go out on the evening. Great for comfort to walk in for miles. Love them so much." —Shelley Baugh

Get them from Amazon for $29+ (available in sizes 5.5–11 and 23 colors).

Promising review: "I walk a few miles a day commuting to my job and needed a sandal that would be comfortable, professional, and durable. These do the trick. I comfortably walked six miles in them yesterday. They have a slight amount of cushion, and the straps are the perfect tension. The honey brown color is beautiful and goes with everything. Absolutely recommend." —Kate Johnson

Get them from Amazon for $18.68+ (available in sizes 5–15, including wide fits, and eight colors).

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 cobblestone 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 it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 6–10 and 27 designs).

Promising review: "Where have you been all my life?! I have wanted a pair of Chacos for YEARS. I squealed with excitement when I received these in the mail. As soon as I received them, I put them on and adjusted them to fit my feet. Yes, it was a bit of work, but well worth it and nice to have a shoe you can adjust to your liking. I went on a seven-mile strenuous hike the first time I wore these, and they were extremely comfortable. No blisters, no discomfort, and best part is I could still stick my feet in the river without taking them off. Highly recommend!" —Kelsey

Get them from Amazon for $47.72+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide fits, and 15 styles).

Promising review: "This has to be the most comfortable wedge I’ve ever owned. I walked up and down the Atlantic City boardwalk for hours. Not a hint of uncomfortableness. Mind you I have a neuroma issue. Felt like I was walking around in sneakers. Definitely recommend." —Natasha C.

Get them from Amazon for $34.96+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide fits, and eight colors).

Many reviewers recommend sizing up!

Promising reviews: "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

Get them from Amazon for $25.02+ (available in sizes 5–12 and eight colors).

Promising review: "These sneakers are perfect for high arches and overpronated feet. They are also very comfortable. I walk long distance on a regular basis — between 5-10 miles at a time — and they are always comfortable, no blisters, no sore feet. My sneaker soles used to wear down very unevenly on a pretty sharp angle based on my gait because my feet are overpronated. After seven months of long distance walking, the soles have worn perfectly straight across the bottom, which tells me they are helping me with this issue. Highly recommend. My new go-to. I just bought another pair. Love these sneakers!" —Nomad46

Get them from Amazon for $79.56+ (available in sizes 5–13, including narrow and wide sizes, and 21 colors). You can find a version available in men's sizes here.

Promising review: "Very comfortable summer sandals for a reasonable price. I bought them before a music festival this April. The khaki color is neutral enough to go with any outfit and the elastic is very comfortable, allowing me to walk for miles in them without any kind of blisters or discomfort on my feet (I'm the kind of person who gets serious blisters between my toes when I wear flip-flops, so that's saying something! Soles are relatively thin but very flexible. I recommend these as a basic, walkable summer sandal that looks surprisingly stylish with any outfit." —Laura Beckman

Get them from Amazon for $24.99 (available in sizes 5–11 and 11 colors).

Promising review: "So lightweight and comfortable. They’re also so roomy!! I usually don’t wear Converse because the front is too narrow for my toes but these are a game-changer!! Yay finally I can wear Converse." —Deee48

Get them from Famous Footwear for $74.99 (available in sizes 5–11 and 13 colors; also available in big kid and little kid sizes).
