Promising review: "SO comfy, and really cute too. They don’t pinch at all, and the insoles are super springy. They pair well with most outfits too, which is a huge plus, and they’re sturdy enough that I can tell they’ll last for a long time. I’m a 6.5 in the court sneaker and can comfortably wear these in a 6 with normal or thick socks." —AshleyB

Promising review: "These shoes are phenomenal. The lacing holds tight so if I wear light socks, my foot doesn't shift. However, there's plenty of room to wear wool or fluffier socks. For me they DID NOT NEED BREAKING IN. This is huge. I hate buying any kind of shoe that has a 'breaking-in period.' These were great from the get-go. I tried them on a moderate 5-mile hike on a rugged Washington (state) trail. No blisters. I put them to the test today on an 8-mile hike up a steep incline and holy cow. They were amazing." —Stevie
Get them from Amazon for $47.87+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide fits, and in 17 colors).
Promising review: "Very comfy and great looking boots! Just like the picture. The heel height makes me taller but isn’t too steep to walk naturally in. Zipper is smooth to pull up and it stays up and doesn’t creep down over time. Overall very happy with this purchase." —Rebecca Henry
Get it from Amazon for $69.90+ (available in sizes 5–13 and five colors).
Promising review: "I absolutely love these shoes, they are comfortable and look stunning. I have wide feet and ordered them one size up, they did run a bit small for me in my actual size which I originally ordered. The return/exchange was very easy. The craftsmanship is outstanding. Even my daughter is obsessed with them and wants me to wear them everywhere and all the time, which has gotten me some date nights with the husband – obviously you have to take them out to a nice bar! They match everything and I will wear these forever." —Franziska Dunn
Get them from Alohas for $182 (originally $260, available in sizes 35–44 and in 33 colors).
Promising review: "These boots are amazing. The fit is extremely comfortable with no pinching. They’re the most stylish fall and winter boot I’ve ever had. The shearling and material are textured and rich and it's easy to tie the laces. Love love love them." —Lorelei O'Hagan
Get them from Amazon for $79.90 (available in sizes 5–13 and three colors).
Promising review: "I found out I had to spend two weeks in Europe during the winter and ordered these in a pinch. Best. Decision. Ever! They are comfortable, warm, and weatherproof. They survived the snow, ice, and rain. They are also very easy to dress up and down." —Mari
Get them from Amazon for $134.99+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in four colors).
Promising review: "THESE ARE THE BEST BOOTS! True to size. Great heel height as well as thigh height. I am 5'9 and they come above my knee just enough to have the over-the-knee look! Super comfy to walk in and have a great faux suede texture! Highly recommend these boots! I have the burgundy, black, and tan/khaki now!" —RL
Get them from Amazon for $60.99 (available in sizes 5–11 and four colors).
Promising review: "The leather is so soft and they are so comfortable. I walked to work in them and they stay pretty cool inside. Not sweaty or gross like vinyl." —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $61.19+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in seven colors).
Promising review: "I decided to give these a try because of price, and I'm so glad I did! I was very impressed by the quality of the material, as well as how comfortable they are. I am very picky about my shoes and typically do not buy shoes that are not name brand." —Whitney
Get them from Amazon for $48.99+ (available in sizes 5.5–11 and in 25 colors).
Promising review: "LOOOOOVE! I live in NYC and these are perfect all-weather shoes for city walking. The first time I tried these on I felt like I was walking on springs — the cushion level is amazing. I did wear thicker socks when I was breaking them in (two layers) and I got blisters on my heels but after my heels toughened up they were good to go. Now they are literally the only shoes I wear. My favorite feature is the finger handles at the front and back, which help you to pull on the boot. There is also enough room in the shoe to comfortably fit thick mountaineering socks when it’s especially cold out. I’ve worn them in the rain and snow with no issues or water seeping in." —AJ
Get them from Amazon for $148.95+ (available in sizes 6–11 and in 16 colors).
Promising review: "One of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I own and still look pretty. I usually wear a wide due to bunion surgery but found the regular width for me better. (The wide was larger in the heel space and my foot was slipping when I walked)." —KloveA
Get them from DSW for $139.99 (available in sizes 5–13 and in six colors).
Promising review: "Great purchase and worth every penny. Stylish yet totally functional. Thought it would take long to break in but it only took a ten minute walk before it felt extremely comfortable. I love that the uppers are leather and I think the boots will last for a long time." —Sara
Get them from Sorel for $210 (available in sizes 5–12 and in two colors).
Promising review: "I love these so much. They’re incredibly comfortable for long wear — stable and sturdy. I’ve run after a 75-pound dog in these at full speed and I didn’t trip or break an ankle. Ultimate stompers. Don’t sleep on these." —Rachael
Get them from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 5.5 & 8.5 and in five styles).
Promising review: "I really like these shoes a lot — they're incredibly comfortable for being heeled boots and I can stand in them all day at work. While I've only gone through one winter with these so far (in Chicago), they still look great! I also sprayed them with water protectant and it didn't affect the suede material at all, so I would 10/10 recommend these." —Sarasri
Get them from Amazon for $49.99 (available in sizes 5–11 and in seven colors).
Get them from Nordstrom for $160.30+ (available in sizes 5–11, including wide-calf fits, and five colors).
Promising review: "In fact, I have them on right now. I am always hesitant about ordering shoes online. Not sure how they will fit. Or how they will look. But I SO loved the look of these, so I risked it. They are so so comfortable. They look FABULOUS! And I love that they aren't noisy when I walk around. They are very very quiet." —Jaya
Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes 4.5–11 in six colors).
Promising review: "These boots are sooooo cute! I wore them walking around NY and loved them! I felt very comfortable. They have a good supportive stretch to the ankle and calf. Where have they been my whole life?" —Ben West
Get them from Amazon for $56.99+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in four colors).
Promising review: "Yesss. I was looking to replace a far more expensive pair of boots (I wear a size 12). I'm so surprised at the look and fit of these shoes. Nailed it, Amazon!" —Allison Buck
Get them from Amazon for $38 (available in sizes 5–14, including wide fits, and in five colors).
I personally own these boots and can confirm that I have never, ever been so comfortable in a pair of heeled booties. I can wear them for hours on end (we're talking very late nights here) and there's been not a whisper of aches, pain, or blisters.
Get them from Kurt Geiger for $155 (originally $265; available in sizes 6–10).
Promising review: "I LOVE these boots. They're so soft and comfortable, I don't ever want to wear another pair of heeled shoes! I got the taupe and now I want them in the darker brown, too! Who knew Dr. Scholl's even made such cute shoes?!" —Chelsey
