Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A pair of braided sandals with a supportive chunky heel proves that you *can* dress up virtually anything: even your favorite band tee and broken-in pair of jeans.
2. A mesh slip-on shoe because, honestly, who has time for laces? These shoes are made from mesh, meaning they'll conform to your foot like a glove while still remaining exceptionally breathable.
3. A ballet flat that — get this — *actually* provides wiggle room for those with wide feet! These flats have a comfy round toe shape and their footbeds provide support for those with high arches.
4. A lightweight tennis shoe so roomy, you'll never have to worry about your aching toes while you practice your backhand again.
5. A pair of structured Clarks flip-flops with footbed cushions, so you won't come away from your day at the beach with aching soles.
6. A classic white Reebok tennis shoe for those days where you just want to throw on your favorite cozy crewneck sweater and slouchy pair of jeans while still looking tres chic.
7. A black pointed-toe pump because it's the type of basic, versatile shoe that belongs in every wardrobe. The footbed forms to your foot, while the leather stretches easily for a perfect fit. I have these shoes, and I can easily spend hours in them without feeling an ounce of pain.
8. A pair of slide sandals that feel like walking on clouds. These sandals have an ethylene vinyl acetate sole, which just so happens to be the same material from which spongey running shoes are made. These'll give you all the comfort of supportive, bouncy shoes while also amping up your style with a very on-trend look!
9. A sassy platform sandal with a swoopy heel to let you dance the night away without feeling like you have to slip into flip-flops after five minutes on the dance floor.
10. A hiking boot, because hiking all day in shoes that are uncomfortable can do some serious damage to your feet and legs. So make sure to get a pair of hiking boots like these, which provide room for foot swelling as you walk, and arch support to keep you comfortable while you do some off-road trekking.
11. A cozy pair of waterproof Birkenstock sandals that'll work great as house shoes while the cool weather is still here, and then transition into chic headed-around-town shoes when spring finally arrives!
12. A pair of low wedge flats, because finding shoes that accommodate wide feet can be tricky — throwing a high arch into the mix can make things even trickier! I personally have wide feet with a high arch, and I always recommend a roomy shoe with just a liiiiiittle bit of wedge for extra support!
13. A quilted slip-on shoe with memory foam insoles to make it feel as if you're stepping on a fluffy pillow with each stride. Pair these with your favorite leggings for times when you want to be comfy while running errands, but you also want to look put-together.
14. A pair of knit mesh sneakers since the weather is (sort of?) warming up. Sure, you want a pair that'll be comfortable enough for your long walks along trails, but who ever said you had to sacrifice style to do so?
15. A handmade pair of leather huarache sandals you'll *definitely* want to collect in every hue. These shoes hold onto your ankle to provide support during long walks and even have a platform that adds cushion!
Macarena Collection/Etsy
Promising review: "Shoes are so cute and comfortable. I bought the black and I actually want to get other colors. Perfect for skirts, summer dresses, capris, and jeans. I will take them when I return to Italy. Love them!" —Melissa McCormick
Get it from Macarena Collection on Etsy for $44.72 (originally $55.90; available in sizes 5–10 and in more colors/styles here).
16. Or a structured sandal so your feet can stay cozy and well-ventilated during your hikes. (Whether you're trekking through a trail or through the busy streets of downtown, they'll look fab in either situation.)
17. A patent leather loafer, because what's better than wearing sneakers to the office? Wearing work-appropriate shoes that feel as comfortable as sneakers, that's what!
18. A pair of chic sandals that you can wear anytime, anywhere — whether you're off to a meeting, brunch with friends, or getting your wardrobe ready for wedding season!
19. A pair of chunky sandals will help you release your inner Daria. These are perfect for anyone who wants to serve '90s vibes, but needs something less intricate to emulate the decade. These shoes are super simple to throw on and add an immediate edgy (and cute!) touch to your 'fit.
20. A clog with a woodgrain printed sole, since, yes, wooden clogs are *so* comfortable once they're broken in, but can be a bit hard to get used to if you typically reach for shoes with cushioned soles. These have cushion soles that form to your feet while looking like you bought them as a souvenir from your recent trip to Amsterdam.
21. A pair of braided sandals if you need something that will bring you everywhere during your upcoming vacation while slotting seamlessly into your carry-on bag. (I'm looking at you, light packers!)
22. A pair of wedge sandals that feel like actual clouds, despite the fact that they *look* like ultra-chic uncomfortable shoes. I wore these while on a trip to Croatia a few summers back, and they SAVED my feet as I trotted all day along ancient Roman (AKA, marble) streets!
23. A pair of strappy espadrilles, because, sure, special events require something with a bit more pizazz than the average shoe — but some special events also require a LOT of walking and standing! These espadrilles are cushiony with their platform, and will go with any flowing dress or structured trousers in your closet!
24. A cute pair of boat shoes that *feel* like sneakers while helping you nail your coastal grandma aesthetic.
25. And a braided thong sandal with an adjustable buckle so that you can wear gladiator sandals that won't feel constricting or uncomfy after a few hours. Hurray for style and comfort!
