I should know because the first time I wore these shoes, I walked 16,000 steps in them. Yep, you read that correctly, 16,000 steps and not a single blister and no foot pain at the end of the day. Soon after that day, these shoes became my new go-tos. They have a classic look to them and really do go with everything. I even took them on vacation with me back in January to Paris, and I wore them almost every day. They didn't look like tourist shoes at all, and I never had any pain while wearing them. The price point is a bit steep on them, but for the quality, I really do think they are worth it.
Promising review: "This is my second pair of Greats and like the first pair, I get compliments them all the time, great quality, comfortable. I love that they take a few days to "break-in" the leather, and even the break-in days aren't painfully, the leather is just stiffer. Plus, they're fresh white kicks, so they go with everything!" —Claudia D.

Promising review: "These are cute and comfortable! I took the advice from other reviews and sized down. I am usually a 6.5 but got a 6, and they fit perfectly. I have wide feet, and these adjusted very well. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a simple but cute shoe." —ESGF

Promising review: "The sneakers are super comfortable I am very susceptible to getting blisters on my feet even if I just walk around the block.

Promising review: "I've been a huge Saucony fan for many years now. My only problem is how expensive they've become. I was thrilled when I found these for the price. They are terrific. There's no breaking it period, very cushiony, yet supportive, I always size 1/2 up for running shoes, and they fit perfect. I'm very happy with my purchase." —Jamie Croshaw

Promising review: "I needed a stylish and very comfortable pair of shoes, and these will be my go-to's for as long as they make them! I have gotten so many compliments on them. I got them in white and purple. I plan to get in a couple of other colors! I am really active but have rheumatoid arthritis. My feet and ankles have much better support with these. They aren't too heavy and keep me as comfortable as possible. I highly recommend for anyone!!" —Brooke1985

Promising review: "This is a great shoe that goes with everything. I bought them for the summer and was looking for a classic white sneaker I can wear with everything, and this was it! I am usually a size 7 and got a size 6.5 because of the reviews. It isn't too terrible, but if I were to buy another pair, I would NOT size down. Your feet expand over the course of the day. Don't size down." —Jenny

Promising review: "These have quickly become my go-to shoe for almost any day. I love wearing them with shorts casually but also with dresses. They are more comfortable than my gym shoes. So for sure my go-to hiking shoe! Not to mention they are so cute!! Plus, they're very well made. I highly recommend." —Sarah Petrie
Get them from Bangs for $65 (available in sizes 5-14.5).
Promising review: "These have very little arch support, which is one reason that I love these shoes. I have rather flat feet, so built-in arch supports usually cause me pain. I have been wearing this model shoe for over 20 years (I am 71 now) and they are comfortable right out of the box. When they get dirty, I pop them in a pillow case, wash them on cool, and let them air dry (which takes about three days in the humid Florida climate), but they come out looking and feeling brand new. They are my favorite shoes and always will be!" —Jane R. Davis

Promising review: "I am really really really loving these sneakers. I love the colors. They fit perfectly, arrived super quickly, and actually exceeded my expectations. I'm a slippers girl and fell in love with these the minute I saw them; what I love most is that they're so cushiony soft and very very comfortable. I bought these because I'll be traveling soon and wanted something for the long walking and standing. IT'S PERFECT, EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED. I will definitely be shopping again in the future." —Soph300

Get them from Torrid for $39.50 (available in sizes 6-13).
Promising review: "These are great little everyday shoes. They're cute and comfy, perfect for walking around, light hikes, traveling, etc. They're extremely light and breathable, and they come with an extra set of laces. I like how they look, too. The low profile but interesting. They definitely fit small, so size up—I usually wear an 8, but I went to 8.5 as per recommendations." —Lucy Bert
Get them from Amazon for $44 (available in sizes 5-12 and in 10 colors).
Promising review: "I was a little tentative about the flexible heel, but I was so pleasantly surprised by these shoes. They were comfortable right out of the box, and I find I wear them both with back up and down. I wore them for a long walk the night I got them, and they were just great. I highly recommend these for casual and flexible style." —JennGtx
Get them from Nordstrom for $85 (available in sizes 5-12 and in 13 colors and patterns).
Promising review: "Great! Just great. I bought these expecting very little based on a few of the reviews I read. I was pleasantly surprised to find these to fit perfectly, work without fail, and are endlessly fun! I wore them to a stadium concert and several people commented on how fun they were and how they wanted a pair. The button to work the lights is inside the shoe just under where the Velcro strap would sit on the outside. I do not latch the Velcro when I want access to the lights, which allows me to tie them comfortably, but still make them light up if I choose. The batteries have lasted for several (6+) hours before they needed charged. If you want something fun, bright and kind of silly, just get 'em." —Sareeta
Get them from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes 4.5-13 and in seven colors).
Promising review: "I absolutely love these shoes. I was looking for slip-on sneakers that would be comfortable and that I could wear every day but also dress up. These were the perfect match. They are very comfortable, I can wear with or without socks, my feet don't get too sweaty, and they were easy to break in. My feet are size 8.5 exactly, and I usually wear a 9 in shoes, but I ordered the 9 and they were actually too big so I got the 8.5, and they're perfect." —Allie Culwell

Promising review: "I love this shoe. I have had numerous comments about where did I get them and how cute they are. They are comfortable and very stylish. I like the worn-out look, so these are just what I like!! I've been wearing them with shorts, but I think they'll look great with jeans. They are a very casual shoe but still cute." —debbie L.

Promising review: "I have never been compelled to write a review, but these shoes are soooo beautiful!!! I got the pink and gold and they are comfy and pretty. I cannot keep count on the total strangers on the street stopping me and saying how much they love my shoes and asking me where I got them!!! This price is amazing, and I truly can say I got bang for my buck! True to size, I'm an 8 and ordered the 8 and they fit perfect." —Dora M.

Get them from Nordstrom for $130 (available in sizes 5-11 and in white and black).
Promising review: "I really love these shoes! I took a chance because I have never ordered a pair of shoes online. But these are very comfortable so far and they look really cute on. The quality seems appropriate for the price, and I can see getting a lot of use out of these shoes. I also want to note that I work in downtown Austin so that requires a lot of walking to and from the parking garage and my work building. So far I have no complaints, and I do not have any blisters from these shoes." —Gabi Fauss
Get them from Amazon for $55 (available in sizes 5.5-11 and in eight colors and styles).
Promising review: "I had been looking for a new pair of workout shoes for cross-training and had always heard the best things about APL. I finally broke down and bought these and could not be happier! They are unbelievably light, yet still have substantial support. The design makes it easy to slip them on and off, but I’m never worried about them coming off during exercise. I cannot not recommend these enough." —Alecsandra H.
Get them from Apl for $225 (available in sizes 5-11).
Promising review: "I love these shoes! I thought at first they would bulky and hard on my feet. I work long hours and am on my feet all day! I realized within minutes of wearing these shoes that my feet didn't hurt, my back didn't ache, and my toes weren't numb anymore. I can't tell you how much a good pair of shoes are worth to your whole body! They have tremendous support, lightweight even though they don't look it, and very comfortable! I'm in love with these shoes and plan to buy more each payday. I recommend you do the same!" —Mama Niki's reviews

Promising review: "I could not adore these sneakers more! They're crazy comfortable and look so well made. I was tired of the same plain tennis shoes and wanted something that would make me smile when I put on — my new Soludos do the trick every time. They are well worth the shoe investment! (Also easy to find LOTS of cute coordinating shirts!)" —Erin R.
