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

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

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

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

Promising review: "I absolutely love these shoes! They are super comfy and adorable! I have a wide foot so I went up a half size and they fit great! Despite the pointy look, my toes are not squished. The material of the shoe is soft suede like fabric so it stretches, no need to break in the shoes." —CSG

They'll also pair well with anything from wide-leg pants to skirts.
Promising review: "These shoes are pretty much the fanciest ones I've worn since the pandemic started — I'm usually in slippers, flip flops, or sneakers. And I have to say, these are just as comfy as any of those. I've probably owned 50 pairs of ballet flats over the years, and I'd rank these right up there with shoes that cost three or four times as much. They fit perfectly (I love that they come in wide!) and are so comfortable to wear, even if you're doing lots of walking. I'm so glad I bought multiple colors and will probably buy more!" —CaliGirl89

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

Promising review: "I broke my foot 37 years ago and it left me with a bump/deformed foot so I can only wear Mary Jane-type shoes. These are so comfortable, so stylish, and so quiet for clog-type shoes! I have tried other more expensive clog-type nursing shoes and they do not come close to the comfort of Dansko shoes! I love them!!!" —Amazon customer

Promising review: "Beautiful shoes! I bought them to use as indoor workout shoes and they fit like a glove in my original size (8). I was worried the tongue would rub on my ankle because of how these are designed, but they didn’t upon multiple uses.

Promising review: "Beautiful boots and comfortable right out of the box. They fit true to size. Like most of my Nisolo boots, I wore them around the house with thick socks for a couple of hours to get them a little softer. This pair was so comfortable that I quickly forgot I was wearing new boots! I like the casual look of the lighter grained sole of these and the rubber anti-skid sole will be great in the winter months. They are perfect casual boot.
