Promising review: "With an upcoming trip overseas, walking in comfy shoes became important. Form and function are important, but so is how my foot looks in the shoe. These shoes answered all of the requirements I had for a shoe worth packing. I like that the shoe is very comfortable. I like that I can replace the insole with my own for extra support. I like that the toe box was roomy, the midsection over my arch is snug, and the heel is padded and fits my foot. I like that the label is small and the laces aren't too wide across the top of the shoe when I look down. I like that these shoes are leather without suede that can get dirty quickly. I like that these shoes are not platform so I can keep my balance on cobblestones and gravel. I really like these shoes." —SJP14

Price: $160+ (available in sizes 5–11.5 and six colors)

Promising review: "I bought these for a trip to the UK and knew I would be walking a lot and in rainy weather, and these shoes were great! Feet stayed dry, and they were very comfortable all day for many days at a time. They are a bit stiff at first and a little hard to put on as they are slip-ons, but once they are on, they are very comfortable. Highly recommend." —4Pugs4us

Price: $180 (available in sizes 5–11 and five colors)

Promising review: "Love these shoes! They fit true-to-size and are so comfy. I can wear them all day and no blisters or rubbing. They go with everything and are so cute! Definitely recommend!" —tekn

Promising review: "I have purchased at least three pairs of these booties over the years. I have a size 11 foot that runs wide and needs a slight heel and wide-toe box, which makes finding nice shoes hard. I have purchased the M width, and they have stretched well without giving me blisters. These leather booties fit like a glove and are the perfect pair for traveling. I have walked 10K+ steps a day in them in cities around the world. They can be more comfortable than sneakers, especially on planes." —FrSeed2Stomach

Price: $77.40+ (originally $128.95+; available in sizes 5–12, two widths, and seven colors)

Promising review: "Thanks to my Nordstrom stylist D, I took a chance and bought these cute sandals. Not only are they a very modern style, but they fit me perfectly and are very comfortable. I love them so much I just bought a second color (English Tea Brown). If you're a gal like me who needs a wider width and struggles to find stylish, well fitting shoes, you're going to be pleasantly surprised by these!" —CarolynBEBA

Price: $79.99+ (originally $99.95+; available in sizes 5–12, three widths, and 11 colors)

Many reviewers say they run slightly large, so consider trying a half-size down, too.
