Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's. The seller recommends checking the size chart, which details the best size for your foot length. The back strap is also adjustable! Promising review: "Comfy and trendy enough. I like 'em! I prefer not to wear shoes that don't have a back. It's my paranoia that I'll have to break out in a run at some point. But these work very well. I walk miles in them without discomfort. Plus, they're cute. Trends up any casual outfit. They are not Crocs- or Birkenstock-level comfort because the sole is not cushioned but carved out just for the naked foot. Update: I just returned from a month in Costa Rica during the rainy season, and I'm so glad I brought these! They held up so well getting through muddy pebble streets. The soles were thick enough to not feel the rocks beneath me and keep my toes from getting in the dirt. When I got in, I just washed them off. The white color held up in all that, and they never felt uncomfortable or as if they would come off my feet (a concern I have about sandals without ankle straps). They are excellent value. Get 'em!" —MelRay Get them from Amazon for $18.99 (available in sizes 6–10 and two colors). Promising review: "This is the second time I bought these flats. They are super comfortable. I had my last pair for over two years, wearing them several times a week, before they finally broke down." —Noa H. Get them from Allbirds for $105 (available in sizes 5–11 and in 11 colors). Promising review: "<3 Just a great shoe! ‘Twas true to size and overall a purrrfect fit! I would influence everyone to buy themselves a pair." —BaileyC117560701 Get them from Nike for $95.97+ (originally $115+; available in sizes women's 5/men's3.5–women's 12/men's 10.5 and 17 styles). Promising reviews: "I’m a manager at a restaurant and wore these shoes for 12+ hours and could’ve worked longer because they are sooo comfortable." —Kerri "Working at a resort, I often walk over 30,000 steps a day. As a guest experience specialist, I have to look my best while assisting guests. They need to see me as professional, yet friendly and approachable. When I wear these beautiful shoes that sometimes look bluish gray, blue, and periwinkle, not only do I get compliments, but guests and team members alike come up to me to ask where I get them. They are good-looking shoes." —Honest Thoughts Get them from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in sizes 4.5–10 and 14 colors). Promising review: "These fabulous flats are for walking, dancing, and any other activity you can think of! Every bit as comfortable as all the rest of my previously-acquired Madewell footwear." —Shoe N Boot Fan Get them from Madewell for $98 (available in sizes 5–12 and in six colors). Promising review: "It’s spring and yellow is everywhere! I’ve gotten so many compliments on these already. Buy them, fun color of the moment that is almost making itself a neutral when it comes to how you can style it." —Emmmm16 Get them from Anthropologie for $115 (available in sizes 5–11 and four colors). Promising reviews: "They are true to size and very comfortable, affordable, and stylish. I get so many compliments; I recommend these shoes to anyone who has to walk a lot." —diemedra Newton "I love this shoe. It's comfortable, and I can wear it all day. I usually don't wear flats, but needed some for work and this was a great choice. I have to do lots of walking to get to meetings, and this shoe was perfect. I looked good, the shoe is stylish, and made for walking. Looking for summer colors now." —Gloria Kindle Customer Get them from Amazon for $29.15+ (available in sizes 5.5–15, including wide sizes, and 17 colors). Promising review: "I absolutely love the day gloves, and I have them in several colors. They are stylish and comfortable right out of the box. They're great for work. Fit is true to size." —ndog99 Get them from Everlane for $148 (available in sizes 5–11 and eight colors and styles). Promising review: "I have debilitating ankle pain that impacts how I walk. As a science teacher, I need to be on my feet all day and able to walk about the room continuously. These shoes are light, so lifting my foot does not cause pain, and planting my foot on the hard surface of the floor is padded nicely by these shoes. Hands down the best shoe I’ve EVER worn. I have funky feet too, and these shoes are easily the best I’ve found for both my foot and ankle. No orthotics needed." —Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $73+ (available in sizes 5.5–12 and in nine colors). Promising review: "Love these shoes. They’re very comfortable yet still stylish." —Loodle Get them from J. Crew for $135 (available in unisex sizes 7–13; women are advised to order one-and-a-half sizes smaller than their regular size). Promising review: "These are super comfy! I had been looking for a comfy slide, and these fit the bill. They feel very cushy on your feet and are stable to walk in. Was looking for a comfy slide without the clog, and these fit the bill. Very happy with my purchase and they fit true to size." —Jade S. Get them from Nordstrom Rack for $29.97+ (originally $44.99; available in sizes 4–11 and in five colors). Promising review: "These were super comfy and supportive! I didn’t break these in, wore them hiking for the whole week, and had no issues (which is a huge deal for me since all shoes usually give me blisters)! I didn’t test the waterproofing since we had dry conditions. I also bought the regular width, but decided to stick with the wide width. Easy return process for the pair I sent back! Thanks, Merrell!!" —Heather Get them from REI for $170 (available in women's sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, in seven colors, and men's sizes 7–15, including wide sizes, in seven colors). Get them from Altra for $170 (available men's sizes 7–15 and seven colors, and in women's sizes 5.5–12 and eight colors). Promising review: "These boots are amazing. I loved my first pair so much that I bought four more. I haven’t had any issues with zippers, soles, or heels. They are like wearing slippers. BRING MORE COLORS!!!!" —Cyndie Get them from Free People for $298 (available in sizes 6–11 and 16 colors/fabrics). Promising review: "I have a wider forefoot and high arches, so my normal size fits perfectly. Out of the box, they are nearly as comfortable as the Birkenstocks I've worn almost daily for years. The strap near the toes is a bit more snug than I'd like, but I know it will stretch with time. The leather is soft, and the straps are secure enough that they won't rub or cause issues. (I have sensory issues and am SUPER picky about that!) As an added bonus, they make me feel real tall." —Anonymous Get them from Zappos for $111.95 (originally $160; available in sizes 5–11). Promising review: "I work in film, and I needed a sturdy but lightweight boot I could wear while working 12+ hours on set, but that I'd still feel myself in. I was originally looking at Docs, but they’re so heavy. I got these Blundstones and instantly fell in love!! They are a bit big as I’m between sizes, but I put an insole in, and it fixed that immediately. I’m taking them hiking this week to test them further. So far, I highly recommend them!!" —Kendyl C. Get them from Amazon for $209.95 (available in sizes 6–11). Promising review: "I love these heels. These are perfect for a slightly elevated look. I also love that the kitten heel is a little chunky, it adds some nice comfort and stability. I had no issues walking from bar to bar in Manhattan which is a huge plus! I want them in every color!" —FashionLover4Eva221 Get them from Nordstrom for $115 (available in sizes 5–11 and in six colors). Promising review: "I love these sandals. I wore them to work and got tons of compliments. The heel is the perfect height and the other ladies in my office wanted to know where I got them. I wore them all day and no issues with the heel or the thong portion. I wore them over the weekend as well with no issues. I'm a woman's size 7 in black, and that size fits me perfectly. I will be getting them in the other colors as well. It only has about a 2-inch heel. Perfect for work or an evening date. Ladies, you must get these. They are super cute and go with many outfits." —Jessica Price: $50.39 (originally $79.99; available in sizes 6–11, including wide fits, and five colors). Promising review: "Super comfy and easy to walk or stand in for long periods." —Leslie Get them from Walmart for $59.99 (available in sizes 6–11 and eight colors). Promising review: "I bought these a few weeks ago and I was pleasantly surprised. I have wide feet and wide calves and I have NEVER found a boot I could easily slip on. Even boots that promise a wider fit don't generally work for me, so I keep my boot expectations low. But, I was thrilled when I pulled them out of the box and they fit perfectly. The color is beautiful too. You won't regret adding these to your cart." —Tia1981 Get them from DSW for $54.98+ (originally $95; available in sizes 5–11 and three colors), Promising review: "These goes with anything, I love wearing them. They are comfy and a classic." —Korra007 Get them from Reebok for $85 (available in sizes 5–11 and in four colors). Promising review: "My job requires a lot of walking; outside and in the office. These heels are perfect! Not only do they look great but they are super comfortable." —Annette Get them from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in sizes 5–11 and a variety of colors). Promising review: "I have had a rough time finding workout/walking shoes that provide comfort to my feet, ankles, and knees. These shoes are soooooo good! I have wide feet, and these are very accommodating to that as well. I work long hours at a restaurant outside, and these have been the most comfortable, long-lasting shoes. I also like to walk lengthy flat trails, and these are perfect. I recommended these to some coworkers, and they are just as satisfied. I'll be repurchasing these when the time comes. They're also affordable compared to other prices out there." —Ariel Get them from Amazon for $35.61+ (available in sizes 5–12, narrow and wide sizes, and five colors). Promising review: "I absolutely love these!! Saw them on a blogger and impulse purchased. 😬 I am SO glad I did because they’re comfy and go with so many things! I’m a teacher and have no problem wearing them all day!! I’m always a 6.5 and these ran TTS." —Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and in 16 colors). Promising review: "I knew the minute I opened the box that these were great shoes. I love the feel and the look of the shoes. Perfect fit for my short, wide foot. Fits like a glove. Very supportive. Worth every penny." —Suzanne Sweeten Get them from Amazon for $144.99+ (available in sizes 5–13, including narrow, wide, and extra-wide, and 23 colors). Promising reviews: "I ordered these shoes for a very important event. They were true to fit and extremely comfortable. I worked in them for 8 plus hours, and it felt like I was wearing sneakers. I will definitely order more of these in different colors. Definitely recommend." —Tennille "These shoes are GREAT for work walking. I walk a lot at work, but I don’t like how flats look with dresses/suits. These are comfortable and polished-looking. For the price, they’re a steal!" —Lisa M. Toy Get them from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 10 colors). Promising review: "You know when you get new shoes and you need to break them in? Not with these puppies. The first day I wore them, I was like, wow, these are so comfortable. I wore them the whole day and was even able to go to a party with them with no issue. I wear them to work (a job where I’m up all the time and even have to run sometimes), and I have never had any tears or breakage. It’s easy to get marks on them, but it’s also super easy to clean. Also, I’m already going to get another pair. I already have white, and next is black. So if you’re looking for a good shoe, this is it." —IT Get them from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and 11 colors). Promising review: "The great thing about Rothy’s sandals is that you don’t sacrifice style for comfort. The stretchiness makes these sandals comfortable, whereas leather or cloth sandals might chafe. They are easy to put on and look great. Though they are a little pricey, I think they’re worth it." —Terry M. Get them from Rothy's for $109 (available in sizes 5–13 and in five colors). Promising review: "I was on the fence about buying these shoes, but I am glad I bought them. I truly love how it feels. Quality is so great, and the best part is you could dress up or down." —Sangham Get them from Quince for $98 (available in sizes 5–11 and in three colors). Promising review: "Extreme cushioning feels great on your feet. When I get home now, I change into these, and my feet feel great. Unlike products with a lot of cushioning, I feel sturdy on these, and I don’t think I am going to topple over." —BigMac Get them from New Balance for $44.99 (available in sizes 5.5–18.5 and in three colors). Promising review: "Absolutely love these shoes! Hoping to get them in black as well. Super comfy and easy to put on when on the go. Stylish and able to wear with anything." —Mary F. Get them from Vivaia for $139+ (available in sizes 5–11, in two styles, and in 11 colors). * Shoes Reviewers Loved So Much, They Came Back For A Second Pair * Chunky Pairs Of Heels For Anyone Looking For Extra Height Without Losing Their Balance * Pairs Of Shoes Basically Made To Be Worn With Spring Dresses * Comfortable Pairs Of Shoes Reviewers Say They’ve Walked Miles In Without Pain Plus, shoes reviewers over 50 love, pairs with a server's stamp of approval, travel-ready sandals, and finds from Amazon, DSW, Nike, and Nordstrom.
