Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. Puma Carina sneakers because every wardrobe needs a simple pair of white sneaks — they go with everything from a casual dress to fitness gear. You basically don't even need another shoe in your rotation if you got these.
2. A pair of running shoes so you can actually focus on your workout instead of, ya know... the excruciating pain your feet are in. These bad boys don't just have arch support, they have "smart" support that keeps excess movement in check, protecting your feet, knees, and hips. Not to mention, they're cushioned throughout the midsole which makes for ~easy peasy~ transitioning from heel to toe.
3. Carhartt soft-toe, waterproof, work boots with a wedge for extra support and perhaps some extra height? 😏 (Shout out to my fellow vertically-challenged people.) Regardless of if you need the height, the wedge is just one of the reasons this boot is reliable — others include its cushioned comfort, rubber outsoles for full ground contact, and completely waterproof leather.
4. A pair of leather sandals that are so chic, you'd never guess they have the term "orthotic insole support" in the product description.
5. Elastic ankle Chelsea boots because boot szn is right around the corner and, besides being extremely comfortable (according to literally hundreds of reviewers) these are *incredibly* cute and nonslip! Clumsy crew stand up... get it? Like you won't fall... you'll... stand up? Yes? Yes.
6. A pair of flats for your flat feet (finally). Unlike your ordinary ballet flats — blister-inducing, uncomfortable sole, little support, HORRIBLE — these are cushioned throughout from heel to toe, offering stability and support with every step.
7. Asics running sneakers in case you're on the run and wish to stay on the run. They've got a gel insole, shock absorption, and a bonus sock liner for additional cushioning — making them a viable option for any strenuous activity.
8. Fuzzy house slippers because slippers are supposed to be comfortable but, as you already know, comfort doesn't come easy to flat-footed folk. Luckily, you can join the rest of the world in owning a pair of fuzzy-wuzzies with these, thanks to their orthotic arch support.
9. A pair of sandals that give you easy on-and-off access for all your on-and-off needs. You know, like when you go to get a package and your dog escapes? That little rascal. It's a good idea to keep these by the door.
10. A pair of mules because they're suitable for dressier occasions — you know, occasions that basically feel like a punishment since they require fancy (read: painful) footwear. Send in your RSVP with an enthusiastic "YES!" you finally have a perfectly classy, and supportive shoe to wear.
11. Flip-flops with arch support so your day at the beach can be relaxing and not a torture trap for your feet. Look no further for the perfect pair to enjoy the last days of warm weather in.
12. A pair of no-tie sneakers that'll instantly become the most worn shoe in your wardrobe for multiple reasons. They're cute (obvi that's #1) — 2) they're easy — and 3) reviewers are fawning over how comfortable they are (should be #1 given the title of this article but alas, priorities.)
13. Chelsea boots to go with literally any outfit you wear this fall. I'm trying to think of something they wouldn't go with and I'm pretty much stumped. Reviewers swear they're *so* comfortable and are incredibly versatile style-wise, so they'll go with any fun fall activities you have planned.
