Promising review: “I live in the desert and noticed our upcoming trip to London had rain in the forecast nearly every day. I didn’t want to walk around in wet tennis shoes, and we were planning a trip with heavy walking. I have problems with plantar fasciitis, so I was skeptical, I usually buy expensive, supportive shoes. But I took a chance. These boots did not disappoint. I ended up wearing them every day in London. They were very comfortable, my feet stayed dry, they were super cute and the best part, ZERO foot pain. We walked a lot, 7–8 miles a day. I will put these in my closet for other rainy-day trips!” —volvomom

Get them from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 16 colors).

Promising review: “I bought these shoes for a trip to Alaska where I knew that it would be rainy and wet. They were perfect. My feet stayed dry and when they got dirty I was just able to wipe them clean … I’ve even worn them to football games where sometimes people spill beverages and my shoes were able to stay dry and again I just had to wipe them clean. Plus they look cute.” —Yvonne I Reyes

Get it from Amazon for $33.99 (available in sizes 5.5–11 and nine colors and styles).

FYI: These are made from recycled bottles!

Promising review: “I bought these shoes to wear on vacation to the Grand Canyon. I did a lot of walking on that trip, and my feet never hurt and I still looked cute. Then a few months later, we went to Durango, Colorado and did a ton of walking and again, my feet never hurt. I washed them and let them air dry several times over the next year and they came out great every time. They soon became my daily shoes to wear around the house. I have already bought a second pair to replace them so I can still look cute and be comfortable and wear the first pair when I water the garden. I would definitely recommend these shoes!” —J. Perkins

Get them from Amazon for $40+ (available in sizes 5–13, including wide sizes, and in 22 styles — not all styles available in all sizes). 

Promising review: “This is the review you need, I promise. Let me start by saying that once booking a 5-week study abroad trip to Italy, my search began for the perfect tennis shoe. These were the top-recommended shoe everywhere, so I took the leap. I wore these shoes almost every single day in Italy, averaging about 20,000+ steps per day without even breaking these shoes in and let me tell you, THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT. These shoes did not hurt my feet the ENTIRE trip, they were so comfortable and had amazing support.  How easily they dirty was so irrelevant to me after how amazing they held up otherwise and how comfortable they were for me. Because of this, I would 100000% recommend these shoes to anyone who is traveling and walking a lot and needs a cute yet comfy shoe, or even as an everyday shoe. They are not super hard to clean but not necessarily easy either so just keep that in mind but the shoes held up amazing and went with all my outfits. I am so thankful I got them for my trip!” —Hannah Grella

Get them from Amazon for $68.92+ (available in sizes 4–13 and in 21 colors).

Promising reviews: “They felt weird the first time I put them on…but as I started walking in them it got better! Usually my feet are killing me by the end of the day or I’m just super sweaty in my dress shoes, but these are like walking on a literal CLOUD ☁️ and they let my feet breathe!” —Alyssa

“Literally the BEST shoes ever! So comfy. I spent a whole day at Disney with no complaints, normally I’m tired after two hours of walking in the park, but with these babies, I was up and walking alll day with no problem.” —Katherine

Get them from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 15 colors). 

Promising reviews: “These shoes are super comfortable and supportive. I used to play pickleball on hard court surfaces with tennis shoes with little padding. I developed sore feet which had a term — plantar fasciitis!! These New Balance tennis shoes with thick memory foam inserts saved the day! I can keep playing the game I love and my foot pain is nearly gone! Best tennis shoes ever! And they come in wide too, which makes the fit perfect!!!” —Library

“I love these! They are the perfect dad sneakers and super in style! I love the blue color as well. They’re comfortable, great quality, and they provide a lot of support. They’re true to size as well.” —Stephanie Russell

Zappos

Promising review: “I am a devoted Hoka fan. The Clifton is always my go-to shoe for support and comfort. After almost dying in a near fatal car accident and having 16 surgeries in 13 years, I was directed by my orthopedic foot/ankle surgeon to wear Hokas. This specific model, the Clifton 9, is superb. The colors are awesome, the support in the heel is unbelievable, and the arch support for someone with a high arch (me) and ample toe box room can’t be beat! These are amazing shoes!! I bought the pink and am so pleased. Thank you Hoka for saving my life. These are all I can wear.” —Carrie

Get them from Zappos for $94.25 (originally $145; available in sizes 5–12, two width options, and nine designs). 

FYI, aside from their style and comfort, Tevas are *known* for their durability — one reviewer said their first pair lasted for over 20 YEARS. This isn’t your average sandal that falls apart after one season.  

Promising reviews: “These sandals are SO comfortable. I got them to wear on a trip to Hawaii, and they were the best thing I brought. Easy to walk in the sand, so commutable to walk on any terrain. You can wash them off if they get dirty. So cushy and soft. Velcro for easy walking and adjustments. Such a good sandal for a walking or beach trip. I can’t wait to wear them this summer. They are so cute too!! The mid-height is the perfect height and can be dressed up or down. So cute with activewear or with a summer dress. Love!!” —natasha

“My niece recommended Teva so I decided to give it a try, especially for an upcoming trip to the mountains. Yesterday, I was caught in a rainstorm and stepped into a stream of rainwater that was over my feet. My Tevas performed beautifully. They dried quickly, didn’t slip in the water, and they also stayed perfectly on my feet. I like the adjustability of the straps in several places where you can fit it to your foot. I actually bought two pairs (different colors) of Tevas at the same time, and I am enjoying both of them! I highly recommend!” —J L Phillips

Get them from Amazon for $48.28+ (available in sizes 5–14 and so many colors/patterns/styles). 

Promising review: “These are a perfect fit and feel like I am slipping my feet into butter. They are airy and cool. I tested them out and vacuumed and mopped the house in them. No sweaty feet, no slipping on the wet floor. They can go with anything, Dress them up, formal wear, throw ’em on with cut off shorts and a tank top, a sundress, jeans and tee, any thing, even PJs. They are shoes to travel in, fly in, go to Disneyland in. They cover my whole foot and I don’t have to worry about missing the pedicure lady. They don’t pinch, they are well made, no threads or seams pinch or are stiff or give me pressure spots to cause blisters or soreness after hours of wear — it’s like going barefoot. Get a little dirt on them, and they just wipe right off. I will definitely be buying another pair from this company. For the price, they are worth it.” —hotmdc

Here’s what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Rachelle Yang says about them: “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: “I’ve owned many pairs of Converse in my life, and these are the most comfortable I’ve ever worn. With the platform there’s more cushion in the bottom, making them so comfy. They’re absolutely adorable and who doesn’t want to be just a couple of inches taller! 🙂 Now I just need them in black!” —Jennifer Kaul

Get them from Amazon for $64.99+ (available in sizes 5–13 and in various styles/colors).

Get them from Allbirds for $105 (available in sizes 5–11 and eight colors). 

Promising review: “I traveled to Belize for a girls trip. All six of us ordered this shoe. They are very supportive, comfortable, and protect your feet/toes. The shoes are lightweight, easy to pack, and also dried quickly. I also was never worried they were going to fall off because of the elastic adjustable strap. They were true to size for all of us. We used the shoes ATM Cave and Rio Frio Water Falls. It happens to rain a lot, so we also wore them to the ATV because the puddles were ankle-deep on the ATV. I also wore them when in the ocean because the floor was rocky in some parts. I highly recommend purchasing these shoes.” —Shawna Weiss

Get them from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes 6–11 and in 31 colors).

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

Promising review: “I have purchased three different pairs of these shoes because of the color variety and the comfort! I’ve had my black and gray pair for 3+ years and I still wear them. When traveling overseas, I wanted something neutral to blend with everything I wore. First time wearing them was walking around Portugal walked 13,000 steps that day and they were perfect! I never had any rubbing or cuts on my feet from where they touch my ankles. As a slip on shoe, I never felt unsecured walking up inclines, cobblestones or stairs while traveling. This is my go to for a slip on shoe because of the color options & comfortability” —Bethany

I’ve been to a concert in them, driven in them, and also, I went on vacation recently and walked all over the city, went out, and danced at bars. I’ve never had a pair of heels that are so comfy! Seriously so worth the money.” —Courtney Wilson

I didn’t get the chance to break them in before traveling but turns out I didn’t need to. They are comfortable and doesn’t rub the back of my foot which usually happens with shoes of this style.

Promising review: “I am obsesseddd with these shoes! They don’t even feel like I’m wearing platforms. They just feel like sandals, which is good because I’m clumsy. I ordered the size 7 because I’m usually a 6.5, but they don’t have half sizes. The 7 is fine, I’d say just about a half size too big (lol), but I just tightened the back strap, and we’re good to go!!! They’re great. I have like 100 pairs of shoes, but I wear these several times a week, whenever I can. Worth every penny. I want 10 more pairs of Dr. Marten’s sandals now.” —Maggie

Ma’am Shoes is a woman-owned small biz that makes shoes with a focus on comfort, style, and sustainability. 

BuzzFeed Shopping’s Danielle Healy LOVES these shoes: “Sometimes it feels like my feet are made of paper with how easily they blister. So when a brand markets itself as having a focus on stylish comfort, I am all ears. Fresh out of the box, I wore these red beauties out to dinner (a 20-minute walk each way) and my feet were no worse for wear. So I decided to put them through the ultimate test — a wedding. Even after hours of dancing, my feet felt great and I got loads of compliments. A statement shoe that really does look and feel great? *Big swoon.*”

Sorel

Promising review: “These shoes are perfect! I was looking for a summer sandal that I could walk in/dance in while also being comfortable. I have flat feet and weak ankles so it was a gamble, but these are so cute and comfy. I will definitely check out their other shoes. I see that other people pointed this out, and it’s important to note, the [hook and loop strap] is pretty loose so you may need to readjust a few times, but it’s not inconvenient enough to return.” —Flatfooted
