1. High-top sneakers for the best of both worlds: the “I tried” look afforded by slightly fancier shoes, and the comfort that comes from throwing on your favorite kicks.
2. A pair of Ugg shearling slingback sandals truly worth the splurge, according to over 5,000 Nordstrom reviewers. These trendy beauties = a warm hug for your hooves.
3. Chunky booties that should really start negotiating for PTO now considering you'll likely wear them every darn day. These babies are destined to become the ~little black dress~ of your shoe collection.
4. Black loafer mules to add polish to any outfit, even if said outfit consists of black leggings and a wrinkled tee. Throw on a black blazer for extra oomph and hoorah! We’re got a recipe for your next #ootd.
5. Marc Fisher pumps that are the epitome of versatile. These comfy babies can be worn for work *and* play, meaning they pair well with slacks and ripped denim in equal measure.
6. Ultraboost running sneakers described by one reviewer as the ~definition of comfort~ and wow, what a phrase. Your morning walks (or jogs, if you so dare) will have improved by about 1,000% just by slipping these puppies on.
7. Thigh-high boots that are the perfect compromise: they look ultra dressy but manage to be unbelievably comfortable, ergo you can look chic *and* put-together without having to feel like you're wobbling around on stilts.
8. Waterproof, microfleece-lined snow boots because now that you’re an adult (yes I’m looking at y-o-u), lean in because I’ve got to tell you a little secret: the $25 winter shoes you bought for that one college ski trip are no longer cutting it. It's time to invest in these weatherproof beauties.
9. Allbirds wool sneakers truly worthy of the rave reviews they've received — they feel like a fluffy cloud from the moment you slip 'em on. They have a padded insole, a super lightweight sole, and the laces? They're made from 100% recyclable material. TL;DR: These are more comfortable than running kicks and look way more chic.
10. Square-toe boots guaranteed to become your new official go-to shoe — the kind of gorgeous thing that pulls through when you have five minutes to get ready and no patience.
11. A stylish glove boot exuding major "I won best dressed in my high school yearbook" vibes. This is basically the shoe equivalent of a fashion blogger with 700,000 followers on the 'gram.
12. Toms cutout sandals that you can pair perfectly with all the seasonal-transition outfits you have lined up in your head.
13. Blundstone Chelsea boots appropriate for any kind of activity — think everything from hiking to grabbing your morning caffeine. These premium leather splurges are water-resistant, and provide solid traction, an ergonomically engineered toe spring, and a removable comfort footbed.
14. Stretch fabric flip-flops with over 👏 14,000 👏 positive reviews going on and on about how comfy they are. To say these bad boys are loved is pretty much the understatement of the [Zenon: Girl of the] 21st century.
15. Cozy slip-on booties equipped with a chunky heel and fuzzy inner lining for comfort, plus an adjustable shaft that basically means you'll be purchasing *two* pairs of adorable shoes for the price of one.
16. Adidas lace-up sneakers dubbed the ~Cloudfoam Pure~ because of how downright comfortable they are. Not only do these look fantastic (::prays that athleisure never goes away::), but they'll genuinely leave you feeling as if you're skipping on air.
17. Time and Tru platform sneakers that have invaded my TikTok feed with a vengeance — and for good reason. These simple sneaks are affordable and feature subtle line designs that make them perfect for trying your hand at *gulp* DIY customization. Take your creativity and go forth.
18. Lace-up heeled booties to make even the *biggest* cynic believe in magic. I don't know what kind of sorcery was involved in the making of the below shoes, but these heels are pretty high — and reviewers swear that they still manage to be shockingly comfortable.
19. Splurge-worthy slingback heels made from 100% soft pebble-grain leather, handcrafted in Italy, and fitted with a padded insole built to last. They're the perfect blend of timeless *and* trendy.
20. Strappy Plaka sandals that require absolutely NO break-in time — just take 'em straight out of the box, put them on your feet, and be on your merry way. (For reference, these are so great that they garnered over 12,000 positive reviews.)
21. Ugg shearling-lined boots that are considered ~classique~ for a reason. These babies are basically an extension of your favorite slippers, the difference being you can actually wear them outside of the house, thanks to a grippy outsole and pretreated suede.
22. Waterproof Vionic ankle booties designed with an orthotic arch that hugs your foot in a way that offers comfort and support. Throw in a classic style and ding ding ding, you've got yourself a contender for the perfect staple shoe.
23. Dr. Scholl's wedge booties equipped with a cushiony memory foam insole so that you could hypothetically walk 500 miles (and perhaps 500 more) without experiencing any discomfort. Not all heroes wear capes.
24. Teva Velcro strap sandals because according to TikTok, skinny jeans are out and the '90s are BACK — and not only do these shoes fall under the latter category, they'll also have you believing in love at first wear. These have been a consistent crowd favorite for a reason: Sheer comfort.
25. Knee-high combat boots lined with faux fur to keep your legs and tootsies feeling nice, warm, and toasty — even when the weather outside can best be described as "my face hurts."
26. Stunning espadrilles handcrafted in Spain to add some “gotta soak up the last seconds of summer” to your footwear game. These are 100% vegan and made from recycled cotton and thread.
27. Sanuk flip-flops with a cushioned sole that mimics yoga mat material — which, roughly translated, means that these babies are really 👏 darn 👏 comfy 👏. Plus, reviewers swear that they manage to last forever even with constant wear.
28. Pointed-toe cowboy boots to add some western-inspired flair to any outfit. Wear these with light blue denim (preferably high-waisted), a white tee, a red lip, and you're welcome — a minimum of 9,000 compliments are guaranteed.
