It’s actually mind-blowing how beautiful and comfortable these Italian leather sandals are.

I am a contributor and former resident writer at BuzzFeed Shopping, where I covered everything from fashion to kitchen products — but beauty and travel are my bread and butter (and shopping vices).

Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's. 

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Rachelle Yang says, "I had these bbs for three years but had to say goodbye to them because it was finally their time to go. 🥲 I first got these shoes because I have very weak ankles and needed shoes that would support them, but these did waaaay more than that. The platforms were a lot comfier than I thought they were going to be, and I wore these EVERYWHERE. From concerts to hikes to beaches, these bad boys really put in the work and held up through everything. I never had a moment when I felt uncomfy with these on, and besides all that, they're SO SO SO cute!!!"

Promising review: "These black Converse combine classic style with comfort, ideal for day to day and perfect for work. Its timeless black design makes them easy to combine with any outfit. They are very comfortable, provide good support, and allow you to stand or walk for hours without discomfort. In addition to being functional, they are very cute and modern, providing a clean and versatile look that never goes out of style. An excellent option if you are looking for comfort, style, and practicality in a single shoe. 👟✨" —Meyvelin Pérez

Get them from Amazon for $75+ (available in sizes 5–15 and in seven colors).

It's recommended to go half a size up if you have narrow feet and a full size up for wider feet in this particular style! 

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes backs that up: "I have a pair of Rothy's flats, and though I usually wear an 8, I went with an 8.5, and they fit perfectly. Though I haven't had the chance to wear them a *ton* (because I WFH most days), I have commuted in them several times with no issues. They're super comfy and feel so lightweight and stretchy! I have them in the neutral Ecru color, but they come in a ton of gorgeous colors — if I were going into the office regularly, I'd be tempted to grab them in several shades. Psst — check out my colleagues' full Rothy's flats review for more deets!"

Promising review: "I have lived with bunions for many years and have to be very careful with the cut of a shoe in that area of my foot. Rothy’s felt like walking on a cloud the minute I put them on, and that comfort has not stopped." —Jane C.

Get them from Rothy's for $155 (available in sizes 5–13, including wide sizes, and 13 colors/styles). Rothy's flats come in a bunch of different styles, and you can check them out here!

Just be sure not to put them in the dryer; let them air-dry after washing.

Promising review: "Why did I wait so long??? I wish I could wear these shoes all day for everything! They're so comfortable and lightweight." —Stone, C.

Get them from Allbirds for $100 (available in sizes 5–11 and 14 colors/styles).

Promising reviews: "Travel tested and approved — LOVE!! My hairdresser friend recommended these since she’s always on her feet. They were so reasonable so I ordered them for my South Africa honeymoon trip. They were INCREDIBLE!!! My feet never hurt and I walked a ton of miles in them. They also went with a ton of outfits, so I was very happy!!! I highly recommend!" —Leah Gwin Hoefling

"These shoes were recommended as comfortable walking shoes. They absolutely are the best! I bought these shoes to have a stylish, casual shoe for a NYC/DC seven-day tour. I walked an average of 7–8 miles a day even in a downpour. Not a single blister or pain of any kind. If you are searching for stylish, casual, and comfortable, then these are it. Easy on and off, water-resistant, and coordinates with all outfits." —S. Lee

Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in sizes 5–13, including wide sizes, and in 21 designs). 

Promising review: "These are so lightweight and comfy! I can’t wait to wear them with many outfits, and probably buy them in another color!!" —Sarah

Get them from Reef for $85 (available in sizes 5–11 and 15 colors). 

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Chelsea Stuart is a big fan: "I have three pairs of these babies because they're just so comfortable straight out of the box. You don't have to worry about blisters, and they don't look out of place with dresses and skirts. They're also simple enough to slip on and off when going through the airport, so they check all of my travel boxes!"

Promising review: "Love these shoes! I try to pair these with almost every outfit because they’re so comfy and stylish! Recently went to Philly, where I had to walk everywhere because we didn't rent a car, and these were the only pair of shoes I brought (I travel light). These didn’t cramp up my feet at all as I walked over seven hours daily over the course of five days. Definitely recommend! But one thing hurts my heart...the creasing at the front of the shoe that comes with loving these shoes so much.😢" —Alli J

Get them from Amazon for $45.21+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in various colors/patterns).

I used to be a diehard platform person until I tried barefoot shoes, and now I genuinely cannot go back. I've never felt so connected to the ground I walk on! 

Promising review: "I have worn minimalist barefoot shoes for the last five years as we traveled through Mexico and South America, and I can truthfully say they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I'm 80-years-old and walking like I'm 40 years younger. I had so many foot problems before I switched to barefoot shoes. I suffered greatly with plantar fasciitis and hip pain for such a long time, and all that pain disappeared after wearing these shoes for a short period of time. My only warning on these shoes would be...they will definitely ruin you for ordinary shoes forever! Who doesn't want to be comfortable and pain-free?" —DD

Get them from Amazon for $42.99 (available in sizes 5.5–12 and in 30 colors). 

Promising review: "Love these shoes; I can walk with them all day. Took them to Disney three days in a row. Great quality. I have a high arch, and they are amazing for me." —Yamilette Aguilar

Get them from Amazon for $179.95+ (available in sizes 8–14 and in three colors).

Promising reviews: "I am obsessed with these shoes. They have a similar squishy, thick, and supportive sole like the expensive brand at a third of the price. Such a great value. Fit great, very accommodating to a wide foot/wide toe box. Excellent traction for wet surfaces and trails. Also, cute in a dad shoe way — love them!" —Mandy Williams

"I have plantar fasciitis and work in a hospital. Believe me when I say this: I HAVE ZERO FOOT PAIN when I'm wearing these!" —Jennifer Emilien

Get them from Amazon for $67.99 (available in sizes 6–11 and seven colors).

Promising review: "Elegant and timeless. The Italian leather is soft and high quality, and the sandals feel comfortable from the first wear. They have a clean, classic look that pairs easily with everything. Great everyday option with a polished feel." —Kimberly 

Get them from Quince for $72 (available in sizes 5–10 and in three colors).

Promising review: "I had seen this sandal on social media, and the claim was that it did not need any breaking in. I was skeptical but pleasantly surprised when I put them on. They were so comfortable right out of the box. I decided to test the comfort level out by wearing them all day and found them to be perfect all day long. I have a very high arch and older feet, so having a great supportive and comfortable sandal, while being cute at the same time, is a must. I plan to order other colors as well." —Amy LF

Get them from Nordstrom for $200 (available in sizes 6–11.5 and in three colors).

Promising review: "Pregnant at 30 weeks and my heels have been aching so much, so I wanted something extra comfortable, and when I tried them in the store I knew they were the ones. I’ve worn them every day in my house, that’s how much I love them. My feet thank you, Nike!" —Laura

Get them from Nike for $55 (available in sizes 5–12 and in six colors). 

Promising review: "I stopped buying the expensive branded shoes after I tried this pair. They are the most comfortable and luxurious shoes. I swear by these shoes. No pain at all, even walking in them for hours. They are very stylish and can be paired with any outfit. I will definitely buy these in the white or beige color." —Tet V. 

Get them from Urban Outfitters for $99 (available in sizes 5–10 and in four colors).

Promising review: "These sandals look cute and are super comfortable at the same time. I can wear these for hours while walking, and my feet don’t hurt. I have three pairs, and my sister has five pairs. I’m a nurse, so I know a thing or two about our feet hurting. Get this now!" —Placeholder

Get them from Amazon for $49.49+ (available in sizes 3–11 and 14 colors/styles).

The company recommends going up half a size!

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).

Promising review: "Love this shoe! I have wide feet, and I stand all day for work, and these shoes are perfect on both fronts. The arch support is great (as always). The leather is also very flexible, which is the main reason my wide foot is comfortable in this medium-width shoe. As others have said, this shoe is lightweight and has a very soft interior (unlike most Dansko shoes). My only word of warning is that this style runs shorter than the others. If you have long toes, you might want to try ordering your regular size and one up." —Anonymous

Get them from Zappos for $114.95+ (available in sizes 5.5–12 and in four colors).

Promising review: "Sturdy, comfortable, versatile clogs. I also love the beautiful color. I live in the South, so I can wear them nearly year-round for different activities. They are also my garden shoes!" —Yonjuyonnen

Get them from REI for $160 (available in sizes 6–15 and in two colors).

Promising review: "Finally! Cute, well-made lug sole loafers that fit me perfectly! NOTE: Size 10 medium women’s fit like 10.5 narrow, so keep that in mind before ordering. These cute brown loafers are sooo comfortable! RECOMMEND for sure!" —ZAP

Get them from Target for $64.99 (originally $86; available in sizes 6–12, including wide options, and in 12 colors/patterns).

Get them from DSW for $64.98 (originally $80; available in sizes 6–11 and in five colors).

Several of my BuzzFeed Shopping colleagues *swear* by their Birks — you can read their thoughts here and here.

Get them from Birkenstock for $117.95+ (available in sizes 4.5–12.5, including narrow sizes, and five colors). 

Promising review: "I bought these sandals before a three-week trip in Europe; I didn't want to pay for Birks but did want something in a similar style with good arch support. I was a little skeptical about the low price, but gave them a shot...and they were the MOST comfortable sandals I've ever owned. I walked over 120 miles in them in three weeks on our trip and never once had foot pain. They broke in so quickly and were very supportive from the get-go — and still are! Highly recommend." —Han Lin

Get them from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 20 styles).

Get them from Amazon for $45+ (available in sizes 5–11 and four colors). 

Promising review: "Love the style of these shoes. They don’t look like your average tennis shoes, which was very appealing to me. I’m usually a 'style' over 'comfort' with shoes, but these check off both boxes! So comfortable. Purchased to do some hiking in Zion National Park for Spring Break, but will be wearing them for more than just hiking!" —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $145 (available in sizes 5–12 and two colors).

Promising review: "I wanted some chunky shoes so bad, and my husband bought me these! Sooooo happy! They're so comfortable and trendy!! I wear them with jean shorts, leggings, pants, just about everything. They're perfect. One of my favorite pairs of sneakers now!" —Jsb

Get them from Amazon for $69.52+ (available in sizes 5.5–11 and two colors).

Promising review: "Sooooo comfortable!!! I have big feet and a lot of shoes hurt my toes after a while, but these do not. I can walk around all day long, and my toes don’t get squished from other narrow shoes. I need to get them in other colors!" —Jenn10

Get them from New Balance for $159.99 (available in sizes 5.5–18.5 and in 20 colors).

Promising reviews: "These sandals look very stylish and feel incredibly comfortable. I have sensitive skin, and I was pleasantly surprised that they didn’t cause any blisters, even after walking in them for a long time. I sized up, and it was the right choice — they fit perfectly and look great on my feet. Highly recommend!" —Ket

Get them from Amazon for $48.09+ (available in sizes 5–13 and 10 colors/styles). 

FYI, these run small, so it's recommended to size up!

Promising review: "These are my summer hiking shoes. I put over 500 miles on them so far, and they’re still great. Still have great tread and don’t slip at all. I like the shorter ones for summer because I burn up. They’re water resistant, too. I have metatarsal pain in my right foot, and these are the best ones that I have found for my foot. Also, they have a huge toe box and a nice, snug heel, so downhill is just fine. Love 'em!" —Courtney B

Get them from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in sizes 5–13, including wide sizes, and 17 colors/styles).

Sizing up a half size if you have wide feet is recommended.

Promising review: "I have worn these shoes on many trips. Bought these in red years ago, and most recently traveled through two countries in them. Did a lot of walking. Even climbed up and down through all the steps in Petra, Jordan. They held well and still have a lot of use. And I also love the pop of red in my travel pics!" —Noor
