Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women’s.
1. Low chunky-heel pumps that are so unbelievably comfy and versatile you'll want to snatch up all 24 colors.
2. Platform lace-up oxfords to take fashionable comfort to new heights with all-over perforation so your feet can breathe, and surprisingly lightweight anti-skid soles. You'll just have to worry about carrying the weight of all these compliments!
3. Floral-print sneakers if you're tired of wearing your chunky white kicks for *everything*. This low-profile style goes great with dresses, jeans, and everything in between.
4. Wear-everywhere ballet flats with an elasticized topline for a no-slip fit you won't dread standing around in all day.
5. Slip-on suede mules so you can earn ALL the style points without paying for it in blisters and bunions later.
6. Polished-leather ankle boots because the best shoes are the ones that are comfortable but don't look comfortable.
7. Ugg ankle boots that can play the part of supportive slippers or cozy going-out shoes with equal success. They've got all the comfort you've come to know and love from Uggs in a shorter style that won't weigh you down.
8. Chic Reebok sneakers to finish your look with a sporty pop of color that'll get you noticed while you get your steps in.
9. These slip-on cork sandals if you've had your eyes on ~another~ pair of pricier, cushioned kicks and have been holding out for a good dupe. Here she is.
10. Allbirds low-top sneakers made from Earth- and feet-friendly eucalyptus fibers that are exceptionally lightweight and breathable — not to mention machine washable. Can your current sneakers say the same?
11. Block-heel sandals for when you have no patience (or bag space) to mess with commute shoes and need a pair that can see you through hours on your feet and look good doing it.
12. Patent Franco Sarto vegan-leather loafers with thick rubber lug soles so you can stomp around sidewalks in head-to-toe sophistication and leave the arsenal of blister bandages at home.
13. Lace-up waterproof booties because not every drizzly day calls for a bulky knee-high rubber-boot situation. These will still keep your feet dry when duty calls, but you'll likely find yourself wearing them when the sun is shining, too.
14. Or a pair of Chelsea rainboots with over 11,000 5-star ratings that's ruining my standards for other shoes. Cute, functional, *and* comfortable for under $30? Pinch me.
15. Teva Tirra sandals with super-supportive molded insoles to treat your feet to sneaker-level comfort while still showing off your pedicure.
16. Slip-on sneakers with memory foam soles and perforated detailing if you view laces as just one more thing in life that's trying to tie you down.
17. A pair of pointed-toe pumps so you can rock that job interview, dance the night away, or, heck, even run for office in shoes with looks that can kill, but won't kill your feet.
18. Elastic strappy sandals with memory foam soles for a quick and easy slip-on that's like the chameleon of shoes — they'll blend with whatever you pair them with.
19. Streamlined heeled booties because if you're going to walk the walk, you need chic shoes you can actually walk in.
20. Adidas knit sneakers with loads of 5-star reviews touting just how lightweight and comfortable they are. Now you can spend less time thinking about how hot and achy your feet are and more time planning your Stardew Valley farm.
21. Flat braided sandals to make your feet look (and feel) like they're on vacation, even when you're just popping to the store for eggs.
22. Staple Sam Edelman leather riding boots if you're looking to get away with wearing leggings in public as much as possible this fall. Pair with a chunky sweater and these knee-high beauties and you're ready for apple picking.
23. Knit pointed flats made from recycled water bottles for a shoe that's light on your feet and the planet. And if they ever start to look a little dingy — don't worry — these shoes are 100% machine washable.
24. Lace-up combat boots so you can comfortably walk on into life's little battles, like snagging the best parking space in the company lot or making it out of Ikea without filing for divorce.
25. Timeless block heel mules with a slim buckled strap that'll make converts out of non–heel wearers with how comfortable they are.
26. Squishy nonslip slippers to wear inside or out for loads of comfort and support without the foot-sweating side effects of your fuzzy-wuzzy slippers.
27. Lace-up loafers with over 25,000 5-star ratings that reviewers say are remarkably lightweight, easy to slip on and off, and super flexible — sort of like if a slipper and a sneaker got together and had a best-of-both-worlds baby.
