Promising review: "Great boots at a great price! I moved to Mexico City and needed cute and comfortable boots for everyday walking. I was hesitant about ordering boots online but I am so glad I bought these. They are comfortable and do not pinch or rub any part of my foot/toes/ankles. I have these in brown and black. Definitely happy with them!!" —Julia Alvarez
Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and in 10 styles).
5. Durable Teva Tirra sandals with super-supportive, molded insoles so you can get sneaker-level comfort without sneaker-level foot overheating in high temps.
6. Italian leather day heels to finally convince you that it's possible to wear heels even on days with a packed schedule. The block heel is a walkable two inches high and the back secures with subtle elastic that'll prevent blister-causing slippage.
7. Or these wear-everywhere ballet flats with an elasticized topline for a no-slip fit that won't make your feet wince at the mere thought of standing around in them all day.
8. Earth-friendly woven Huarache sandals with shock-absorbing foam insoles that blur the line between sandal and loafer. They're an easygoing style you'll have trouble finding reasons not to wear for the hundredth day in a row.
9. Or some Rainbow huarache sandals if you're looking for a totally not basic pair of shoes that still let your little piggies breathe and see the light of day.
10. Chelsea rainboots with over 15,000 5-star ratings because they're ruining my standards for other shoes. Cute, functional, *and* comfortable for under $35? Pinch me.
11. Or these quilted mid-calf rain boots to keep your feet cute and dry without feeling like you're dragging waterlogged weights around your ankles every time it rains.
12. Vintage-inspired Reebok sneakers so you can clear up the brain space usually dedicated to handling shoe discomfort and fill it with more important things, like what color of these sneakers you're going to buy next.
13. Splurge-worthy Mary Jane flats handcrafted from supple leather for a truly timeless style that'll see you through office commutes, lunch dates, and nights out for years to come.
