1. Ugg slippers that'll keep your tootsies warm and cozy. Sure, these are slippers, but they're also waterproof if you decide to wear them out and about.
Zappos
Promising review:"This is my 2nd pair of Ugg slippers. I love them. They felt a little snug when I first put them on but within a few hours they were perfect. My last pair lasted 2 years and I wear them every day, all year long. I wear a 7 1/2 and got an 8, they fit perfect." — Anonymous
2. New Balance Classics 237 because they have the best of both worlds: comfort and style. Chef's kiss!
Zappos
Promising review:"Love these shoes. After reading other reviews I do agree that going an half a size larger is right. I'm usually an 10 but ordered 10.5 and they fit great! Highly recommend!" — Anonymous
3. Dr. Martens Chelsea boots that'll never go out of style. These have side elastic so you can easily slip them on, making your life ever-so-slightly easier. Now that's priceless!
Zappos
Promising review:"Love these, my first pair of docs! I hope they hold up for a long time. Do not be afraid of how tall these shoes are, it is just right in person! Not much time past for them to break in, the leather is good, on one shoe I can see real nice grain texture(They aren't the type of shoe that looks practically like plastic). I am considering putting an insole in them just to make them that much comfier." — Anonymous
4. Hoka sneakers so you can walk a thousand miles and make Vanessa Carlton proud.
Zappos
Promising review:"The fit is excellent! I've had a hard time finding shoes my size in wide. These have plenty of room and don't make my feet feel cramped. There is enough cushioning to feel supportive but not overwhelming. My feet feel great in these!" — Anonymous
5. A pair of Sam Edelman stilettos because these come in more colors than there are days in a month. You'll absolutely find the perfect pair to go with that new dress you just got.
Zappos
Promising review:"These are the most comfortable pumps I own! I feel like I could walk in these all day. I've had these for 5-6 years by now and they're still holding up great!" — Peggy
6. A pair of Crocs for wearing everywhere from the dog park to the grocery store to dinner. There's nowhere these bad boys can't carry you. There's a reason these have 34,000+ reviews and a 5-star rating!
Zappos
Promising review:"I wore Birkenstock sandals full time for 40 years. Then my right heel developed a bad case of plantar fasciitis and I found that ONLY wearing Crocs helped! Now my heel doesn't hurt anymore, and the added bonus is that the Crocs are VERY easy to keep clean! I have to keep the heel strap behind my heel to keep them on." — Linda G
Price: $35.98+ (originally $49.99; available in women's sizes 4–19, men's sizes 2–17, and 36 colors)
7. Slingback flats to add some edge to your closet. These beauties will immediately turn every outfit into a ~lewk~.
Zappos
Promising review:"This shoe fit perfectly!!! Very comfortable. Wore them all day and night. Love love love them. Not too tight or punchy for me. Padding in the insole was great." — Megan
8. Birkenstock Arizona sandals because these will really, truly never ever go out of style. They're made to last, so good luck wearing them out!
Zappos
Promising review:"I was a little hesitant to buy the Birkibuc because it has a man-made upper rather than a leather one. I am pleasantly surprised with the quality of the material. I would definitely order the Birkibuc again. In fact, it's hard to tell they are not leather unless I place them side by side with my leather Birkenstocks. The footbed and the sole are the same as regular Birkenstocks. As usual, Zappos sent them to me with lightening speed." — Anonymous
9. Cole Haan loafers that'll make you want to do anything but ~loaf~ around.
Zappos
Promising review: "I was hesitant about getting a chunky loafer - worried that they would be too clunky or look like I was wearing my dad's shoes. I took a chance with these and am happy I did. They are stylish, classic and have a just right kind sole and heel. Elevated pennys but not so of the moment that they can't be worn for years. And they are so comfortable. I put them on right out of the box and wore them all day. Padding on the insole, no weird stiff places or blister making spots. Felt liked I'd already broken them in. Very happy with my purchase. Can't wait to to wear them with all sorts of outfits!" — Jeri
10. Toms Diana wedge sandals so you can walk a little taller once warmer temperatures roll into town.
Zappos
11. Classic cowboy boots to give you that western vibe that's all the rage right now minus having to move to a literal farm.
Zappos
Promising review:"These boots are gorgeous. I am a huge Corral boot wearer, but was unable to find a pair that I liked this time around. I stumbled across these Dan Post boots, loved the way they looked, and decided to give them a try. I love them - much prettier in person and the leather is super soft - definitely recommend. Just FYI - I am typically a size 7 and bought a size 7. They fit as expected." — M.
12. Strappy wedge sandals for all those weddings you'll be attending this year. These will keep you comfy on the dance floor!
Zappos
Promising review:"These shoes are stylish and beautiful. The color is a very nice shade of tan. Length is good but if you are between half sizes, go up I already have them in black and platinum and always get compliments" — Adventure
13. Hoka recovery slides because sometimes you just need something to throw on and go. These no-fuss slides are so supportive, even podiatrists approve.
Zappos
Promising review:"These are about the most supportive and comfortable sandals (or footwear for that matter) that I have ever worn. The fit is perfect! I have some metatarsalgia in my feet and Osteo arthritis in my knees and these slides cushion and provide stability and support that I need. I use these mainly for at home and on the deck, patio." — Ellen
14. Metallic sneakers that'll put some pep in your step and sparkle in your outfit.
Zappos
Promising review:"Love these metallic sneakers! I read some reviews saying TTS, and others saying size up half a size. I am usually a 6 and sized up to a 6.5. They fit well, with some room at the toes. I definitely could have done a 6 and they would have been fine too. Hope that can help anyone on the fence!" — Anonymous
15. Vionic loafers
Zappos
Promising review:"Very soft leather, wore them all over Spain while on vacation. Good with light sock, very comfortable. No trouble with my plantar fasciitis." — Diane
17. Comfortable pumps because they come in four widths, pretty much guaranteeing you'll find the right fit, and wear these until the soles develop holes.
Zappos
Promising review:"This is the most money I have ever spent on a pair of shoes. I am difficult to fit - women's size 6.5 extra wide, and sometimes even the extra wides aren't wide enough for me. These are hands down the most comfortable heels I have ever worn. Hopefully they last a long time!" — Anonymous
18. Kate Spade New York sneakers to replace the formerly-white-now-grayish-brown sneakers currently taking up space in your closet.
Zappos
19. Bow flats because everything is cuter with a bow. These Naturalizer D'Orsay flats have cushioning to give you all-day comfort. What's better than that?
Zappos
Promising review:"I traced my foot and measured it to make sure I purchased the correct width. The size guide was accurate and shoe fits perfectly!" — Nicole
20. Mesh rhinestone Mary Janes
Zappos
Promising review:"These shoes are super cute and unique. I enjoy the sparkle and being mesh they seem real summery. I wear an 8 in a sandal and an 8 1/2 in athletic shoes in most brands. I always take a 7M in a Sam Edelman shoe." — Diane
21. Clarks flip-flops because they have 3,000 reviews and a five-star rating. Reviewers love how sturdy these flip-flops are.
Zappos
Promising review:"I just got back from 7 days at Disney World, Universal and Sea World. Walked over 70 miles in 7 days, wore no other shoes other than my Clarks Sea Breeze and feet felt great entire time. Added bonus: it rained buckets and my feet dried quickly. Those in our group who wore sneakers had wet feet all day. Best flip flops ever. I am 64 y/old and can't believe I was able to walk that far in sandals. I will be ordering more in other colors for sure." — Anonymous
22. Timberland safety toe work sneakers that'll make sure your feet are protected and supported while you ~werk b**ch~. (But like in a nice way.)
Zappos
Promising review:"These are very comfortable and dont feel as bulky or heavy as the other safety shoes which for me is great standing on cement floors for 11 hour shifts 4 to 5 days a week and always on the go. Love them." — Shannon
23. Fisherman sandals to pack for your next vacation. These will go with everything in your suitcase and take you from adventure time to dinner time effortlessly.
Zappos
24. Slip-on sneakers so you can easily slip them on and off if you need a hands-free shoe option.
Zappos
25. Ankle boots with a side zipper for anybody who can't stand a battle to get their boots on and off. These look like a luxe pair of boots but most colors are less than $100!
Zappos
Promising review:"I have these in black and loved them, so I ordered the brown. They are a bit uncomfortable at first, but once they are "worn" a bit they fit great. I wore the black nearly every day all winter and they're in GREAT shape. Can't wait to add the brown to the rotation!" — Kari
26. Franco Sarto raffia sandals to make all your upcoming warm weather outfits look like a million bucks. These are made with eco-conscious materials and have a cushioned footbed, so you'll never want to take them off.
