    Make Your Feet Happy With These 41 Cute Shoes That Don't Sacrifice Comfort For Style

    Whether you need some new sandals to finish off summer or a cute pair of boots for fall, your feet will thank you for these comfy kicks.

    Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women’s.

    1. A pair of iconic Dr. Martens Chelsea boots you'll feel so cool in, even if "edgy" is likely the last word anyone would use to describe you. Wear 'em with everything from cropped jeans to dresses and enjoy feeling just a tad bit taller without fear of toppling over.

    I bought these in the spring and have been patiently (well, maybe not so patiently) waiting for fall so I can wear them 24/7. They're SO comfortable (I've worn them walking around NYC for hours on end) and that extra height makes 5' tall me feel like I can take on the world. Oh, and they're ridiculously cute and worth every cent of what they cost — I can tell they're well-made and built to last. FYI, they run a little big, so consider sizing down!

    Promising review: "I have been wearing Docs for years now, and this pair has to take first place for comfort. They're incredibly cute and versatile, can be dressed up or down, and just like any other pair are faithfully durable. Docs always run big so I sized a full size down and still comfortably wear them with thin-thick socks. I brought them on a long trip, wore them in various weather conditions like rain/snow/forest trails, and they worked great." —Stacy Cruz

    Get it from Amazon for $105.17+ (available in sizes 5–11). 

    2. Or an affordable pair of lace-up combat boots that'll surely become your go-to fall shoe (they look like a solid Doc Martens dupe!).

    Promising review: "These are pretty darn awesome. Love how they have the side zipper to put them on easily in addition to the normal lace-up. The heel is a perfect height and they have a solid feel, but not too heavy. The contrasting stitching gives the boot a great look. They are comfortable and true to size. If you are looking for a pair of combat boots at a great price, these are it. Love em!" —Implied Queens

    Get it from Amazon for $46.99+ (available in sizes 5.5–10 and three styles)

    3. A pair of ultra-comfy Allbirds sneakers you can wear whenever you anticipate being on your feet for a good chunk of time. Their flexible design moves with you, and on hot days you'll appreciate that they're made of breathable eucalyptus fiber.

    P.S. — These have 18,000+ 5-star ratings!

    Promising review: "I purchased these prior to our family beach trip. I found out I was pregnant and needed some type of support when walking around on vacation, rather than flat flip-flops. I read the reviews for these shoes and they were raving. I see why!! These could sell for more money but are reasonably priced. Great quality. There are no laces to tie — elastic bands. I really love these with or without socks. They are roomy but not too big width-wise. This is not a very narrow shoe. I would recommend this shoe for anyone traveling as the go-to shoe. They’re easy to get on and get off. Super stylish." —Nicole_B

    Promising review: "I've never been one to wear sandals or flip-flops — I've always been a Vans/Converse/Nikes/sneakers type of girl.

Very comfortable for walking, dancing, whatever!" —jasmineflower

    Psst: These kicks are made with Rothy's signature thread, which is spun from plastic water bottles! And, since these don't have much stretch to them, reviewers recommend ordering half a size up. 

    Promising review: "These are the only white sneakers I will ever buy. I've had them for a couple of years and pre-COVID, these were my go-to vacation shoes where I would walk miles in them on various terrain and they remained extremely comfortable. During a trip to Spain, I trekked through mud and of course they were very dirty by the time they made it back home. I popped them in the washer and they came out good as new, bright white. I was shocked. I took a toothbrush to the rubber sole to get the last remnants of mud off. These are truly amazing shoes. I wear these with everything from jeans, to shorts, to dresses." —Melissa B.

    Get it from Rothy's for $125 (available in sizes 5–13 and 15 colors). 

    17. A handmade pair of leather huarache sandals so stunning, you'll want 'em in every one of the lovely colors they come in. The platform design means you'll get a little extra height, but way more comfortably than wearing an actual heel.

    FYI: These are made from recycled bottles!

    Promising review: "I bought these shoes to wear on vacation to the Grand Canyon. I did a lot of walking on that trip, and my feet never hurt and I still looked cute. Then a few months later, we went to Durango, Colorado and did a ton of walking and again, my feet never hurt. I washed them and let them air dry several times over the next year and they came out great every time. They soon became my daily shoes to wear around the house. I have already bought a second pair to replace them so I can still look cute and be comfortable and wear the first pair when I water the garden. I would definitely recommend these shoes!" —J. Perkins

    Psst: I have these and I'm OBSESSED! I only *just* replaced my first pair after almost a decade of use, so they're super durable (and really friggin' cute). 

    Promising review: "Best shoe purchase I've made in a long time! They're so comfortable and so cute! I was worried the leather would be too dark but it actually lightens up a bit as you wear them. I get more compliments on these boots than ANYTHING else I own!" —jtaylor

    Another promising review: "I live in Southern California and bought these boots for rainy days. The boots look better in person. I love the fit, color and rugged yet not bulky look. I walked through deep puddles and the boots kept my feet dry. Wish it would rain more so I can wear these more often!" —M. Mendelson

    Get it from Amazon for $33.93+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and four colors)

    FYI: many reviewers suggest sizing down!

    Promising review: "These slides are — and I mean this in the best way — marshmallows that mold to your individual feet. They are SOOOO comfortable. I’ve been working from home since the start of the pandemic, and I ordered them to wear in my house after I read that walking around barefoot long-term isn’t great for your feet. I wanted something with a little support but that would be comfortable. The reviews for these looked good so I ordered a pair, and now I never want to take them off. The material in every part is molded and squishy so there are no unexpected parts that dig into your skin or chafe. But they’re structured enough to provide some support for your arches. 10/10 highly recommend!" —Carrie B

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes 4–14 and 21 styles).

    Those 31,000+ 5-star ratings don't lie!

    Promising review: "I normally cannot wear flats because they give me terrible blisters on the back of my feet. These didn't! Bought these in nude for a city vacation with a lot of walking, but where sandals aren't necessarily worn and these were perfect! They obviously don't have the support of sneakers, but I am so happy to finally have a cheap pair of flats that don't give me blisters. I did break them in with thin socks on around my house before wearing them out and when possible, I wear them with little sock liners. Also — I was able to fold these in half like Tieks and fit them in a semi-small purse to change into to dance at a wedding! Score!" —Kate

    Ma'am Shoes is a woman-owned small biz that makes shoes with a focus on comfort, style, and sustainability. 

    My BuzzFeed Shopping colleague Danielle Healy LOVES these shoes: "Sometimes it feels like my feet are made of paper with how easily they blister. So when a brand markets itself as having a focus on stylish comfort, I am all ears. Fresh out of the box, I wore these red beauties out to dinner (a 20-minute walk each way) and my feet were no worse for wear. So I decided to put them through the ultimate test — a wedding. Even after hours of dancing, my feet felt great and I got loads of compliments. A statement shoe that really does look and feel great? *Big swoon.*"

    Promising review: "This was a great shoe for making a wedding reception comfy, and a road trip a little classy!! The satin finish leather was dressy enough that it complimented my olive dress, but wasn’t so fancy to be out of place walking around a ghost town in athleisure wear. I love these shoes!!" —Nick's Page

    Get it from Amazon for $19.61+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and dozens of colors).
