Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A pair of platform Crocs that are literally the comfiest things you will ever put on your feet. I have two pairs, and I wear them pretty much every day because they go with everything. If you want your feet to look as good as they feel, these shoes are for you.
2. A pair of slides with thick, cushioned soles to make you feel like you're walking on clouds. You're going to want to wear these at home, running errands, and maybe even while you nap because they are that comfortable.
3. A pair of Adidas Grand Court tennis shoes designed to look good with any outfit. It's always helpful to have a staple pair of shoes you can throw on and not have to think about that are also uber comfortable.
4. A pair of classy pointed-toe mules for elevating any outfit while not killing your feet in the process. These are ideal for peeps who want to dress up but might have some high-heel aversions (me).
5. A pair of slip-on clogs with memory foam arch support that's ideal for anyone who is on their feet all day but still wants to look cute. Slay the house down, CLOGS!
6. A pair of Crocs low wedge sandals perfect for walking around all day while still looking fashionable and put together. Just picture yourself exploring Paris sporting these bad boys, and you'll understand why you need them.
7. A pair of stilettos with an ankle strap that won't destroy your feet during a night out. Plus, they come in 16 colors for those of us who are trying to live out our Carrie Bradshaw fantasy on a budget.
8. A pair of Teva sandals — these are like all-terrain vehicles for your feet. I have a pair of these, and I've worn them walking my dog around the block and hiking the Narrows at Zion National Park. We love a shoe that can do it all, so wear the tan lines as a badge of honor!
9. A pair of Hoka One One Clifton tennis shoes sure to convert even the staunchest cardio hater into a runner (or at least a speed walker, like me). I have horrible knee pain, but I've completed two half marathons in these shoes; they're a total game-changer. And it doesn't hurt that they're also super cute and great for just everyday wear.
10. A footbed sandal reviewers say looks and feels similar in quality to Birkenstocks. The contoured footbed allows the sandal to mold to your feet, cutting down on break-in time which is the only not-so-fun part of buying new shoes.
11. A pair of these comfy platform espadrilles sandals basically meant for exploring the streets of Santorini and meeting a summer fling. I guess it's time for you to live out the plot of Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
12. A pair of Fila sneakers that add a chunky edge to a classic shoe, so you can fit in with your cool Gen Z coworkers who keep calling you "cheugy."
13. A Slip-on sneaker you can throw on without having to worry about annoying laces. The extra cushioning in the sole also makes these the ideal shoes for a long day of walking.
Promising review: "I got these shoes and liked them even more than I thought I would. The print is good, the fabric is soft, but even better, the insoles are way more comfortable than I thought they would be. They're the most comfortable shoes I've ever bought. It's like walking on a cloud, and my heels never hurt when wearing these, unlike all other shoes. They're a good fit, they look cute with denim, they're really comfortable, and the price is pretty fair for the quality. I love these shoes and will likely buy more in this style." —Amazon Customer
Price: $29.95+ (available in sizes 5.5–11 and in five colors)
14. A pair of low-heeled pumps with a point toe you can wear to all your friends' upcoming weddings this spring without dreading any post-party blisters as much (like a hangover for your feet).
Promising review: "Super duper cute heels. I wore these for my wedding. I could not find a pair of shoes that looked good with my outfit *and* were comfortable enough to wear all afternoon/evening. I took a chance on these, and they arrived just in time two days before the wedding. They fit perfectly, and because of the sturdy heel and ankle strap, they were comfortable and easy to walk in. I wore them through the outdoor ceremony and photos, dinner and dancing, and then out to drinks afterwards, and my feet did not complain." —Geneva Thompson
Price: $48.99+ (available in sizes 5–11, including wide fits, and in 22 colors)
15. A pair of ankle rain boots that don't actually look like rain boots at all, so you can wear them in sunny weather, too! The foam insole provides extra padding, so they're comfy to walk in while a pull tag at the ankle makes getting them on and off a breeze.
Promising review: "These boots are amazing. I live in Vermont and wear them to work for three seasons: fall, winter, and mud season ('spring'). With thick socks they can be warm in the cold, and with light socks they are comfy in warmer temperatures. I work on a college campus and walk a ton, and they have held up for a full year as my primary work shoes during these seasons. You can literally submerge your foot in water while wearing them, and nothing leaks in." —Michael Robinette
Price: $30.99+ (available in sizes 4–12 and in 13 colors)
16. A pair of sparkly jelly flats because the Y2K aesthetic is very in right now, and you deserve to relive some early 2000s glam. And, because they're rubber, they're super easy to clean, so they look fresher for longer!
17. A pair of lace-up loafers with thousands of positive reviews that'll keep your dogs from barkin' if you know what I mean. Your feet are going to thank you for the flexible shape, rounded toe area, and elastic laces. (You're welcome, feet.)
Promising review: "I love how comfy and lightweight they are. I got the silver/grey, and they can match almost every outfit. I wear them every day and will buy more when they’re destroyed, but they’ve held up well so far with everyday wear and tear (water/mud come out if you throw them in the wash)." —anon
Price: $23.63+ (available in sizes 2–11 and 76 colors)
18. A pair of Sorel strappy sandals that look like something a super fashionable alien who cares about comfort *and* style would definitely wear. Plus, the cushioned footbeds will basically make you feel like you're walking on the moon.
Promising review: "Love my new sandals! Great cushioning and arch support, sporty look, and the adjustable strap is great for the Florida humidity that makes your feet swell when you walk a bit. I found them true to size. I'm usually between an 8 and 8.5 (usually the larger size in athletic shoes) and found the 8 in these to fit well. Got lots of compliments on them my first day wearing them! So comfy!" —Maggie
Price: $94.31+ (available in sizes 6–11 and in seven colors)
19. A pair of colorful waterproof rain boots for those April showers that are supposedly going to bring May flowers. The anti-slip technology on the soles makes it so you don't have to worry as much about falling as you frolic in the puddles.
20. A pair of lightweight, breathable athletic sneakers so your feet can live their best lives, even after hours of walking with the memory foam insole.
21. A pair of waterproof Columbia hiking boots with extra study soles so you can enjoy long hikes or short trail walks without having to constantly worry about slipping in mud or your feet getting wet. And honestly, they're also super cute, so you might as well wear them all the time and make the outdoors your personality.
Promising reviews: "What else can I say other than I LOVE THESE HIKING BOOTS!!? They're literally the most comfortable and sturdy shoes I've ever had, and made multiple full days of hiking through multiple types of terrain a breeze. The high ankle support is great for rocky areas, and they're definitely waterproof. I figured Columbia would be the way to go, and I was not disappointed!" —M
"Absolutely love these shoes! I was looking for a comfortable and sturdy shoe that would alleviate pressure on my toes when hiking on a decline. They do the job. My feet are slightly wider than average, but I ordered my usual 6.5, and it was perfect with room for thicker socks. Price is great for the quality, too!" —Cara
Price: $59.99+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide fits, and 14 colors)
22. A pair of platform Doc Martens Chelsea boots that will make you feel like an absolute badass, whether you're wearing leather motorcycle pants or a floral sundress. They may take you a second to break in, but once you do, they may just be the comfiest pair of shoes you own.
23. A pair of colorful sneakers made with hollow supper soles to provide stable support and optimal shock absorption for any activities that require jumping, frolicking, skipping, or general merry-making.
24. A pair of block heel sandals with a heel that can go dressy or casual. Pair them with a flowy sundress or a pair of jeans and a T-shirt, and you're good to go.
Promising review: "These are basically my everyday shoes. I wear them in the office, and I wear them out and about. I went out with my friends one night and danced for six hours. My feet were sore by the end of the night, but I was able to still walk without taking them off. They're comfortable and look nice. I get compliments on them all the time. Goes with almost all of my outfits." —Quyen
Price: $22+ (available in sizes 5–10 and in nine colors)
25. Or, a pair of platform oxfords that ooze cool vibes, perfect for dressing up or down. Just slip these babies on and prepare yourself for an onslaught of compliments.
26. A hightop sneaker — they have over 9,000 5-star reviews so you know they'll never not be in style. Seriously, these are the shoes that your grandma and Gen Z niece can get behind.
27. A pair of slingback pumps with a heel that's low enough that you don't have to worry about twisting your ankle but high enough to add a little va-va-voom to any ensemble.
