The famous Allbirds runner — uber soft and supportive everyday sneakers made from lightweight and breathable eucalyptus fibers, which means they're as sustainable as they are comfy.
Promising review: "Love these shoes!! So comfortable and look great. Wore them as all day shoes at Disneyland, no blisters or other issues. I already am looking at other pairs to buy. Also great for traveling, extremely lightweight." —Michaela H.Get them from Allbirds for $98 (available in sizes 5–11 and 21 colors).
A cushy pair of slides to wear for running errands, walking the dog, or just lounging about. In other words, say hello to your new comfy and casual go-to shoe.
Promising review: "These are great, inexpensive, comfortable slipper/sandals. When I ordered them, I thought they'd be cute with shorts or dresses, but they're much too 'clunky' and definitely look like shower shoes. That's fine with me as these days all I care about is comfort. I think they run a little big, definitely wide. For reference I wear a size 7M, but the length of my foot measures a 7.5. I ordered these in a women's 6/7 and I like the fit. They are very wide, but hug the foot enough that they don't come off or cause blisters. They're very comfortable right out of the box and the pink is a nice pale blush color." —LucindaGet them from Amazon for $23.98 (available in sizes 4–12.5W, 3–12M, and 17 colors).
A pair of these trendy two-strap sandals if you want the look and feel of Birks sans the expensive price tag and painful rubbing. Some reviewers even think these ones are softer and comfier than the name brand.
Promising review: As someone who owns several pairs of Birks, I find these sandals are absolutely up to the expectations of real Birks! The Birks I have are the Arizona soft footbed. I wanted this style of Birks but I couldn't find the soft footbed version in them. I saw these are thought I may as well try them for the price. Let me tell you, these are even comfier than my soft-footbed Arizona Birks! Omg they feel amazing. They are nice and padded! They are so adorable too! Great quality. The price is a steal. They don't rub anywhere. As far as sizing goes I agree they run a little small. They LOOK almost identical to real Birks. I wouldn't be able to tell these weren't the real deal if I saw someone wearing them to be honest. I highly recommend these to anyone with back/leg/foot pain as well. They're just all around cute, stylish, super comfy, and durable shoes!" —LeeGet them from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes 5–12, wide fits, and 20 colors).

A Crocs wedge sandal with adjustable ankle straps, since there's just no reason you need to sacrifice comfort for style. These beauties seem wayyy too cute to be Crocs — but once you feel how comfy they are, you just might believe it.
Promising review: "I kept getting suggested on TikTok to purchase these crocs for my trip to universal and oh my goodness I'm so glad I did. I'm the type of person that will wear sneakers with a cute dress because I want to be comfortable and these were amazing! They feel like walking on a cloud and look amazing. I got the tortoise and black with the cream soles and I got so many compliments on them, they're neutral enough to match every outfit but also has tons of personality on their own. I pair them with jeans and skirts and they're perfect for all occasions. I wore them for a week before my universal trip and I got no blisters. The platform makes it super cushioned when you walk, my feet weren't even tired at the end of the day, it was incredible!! BUY THEM NOW!! And in every color" —Jacqueline LobosGet it from Amazon for $41.24+ (available in sizes 4–11 and 10 colors).
A pair of classic Blundstone boots that have a cult following for a reason (and yes, you're talking to a fellow member here). They're super durable and supportive (even in wet and slushy weather!) with a trendy rugged aesthetic. In almost four years, I've had not a single blister from mine!
Promising review: "These boots fit true to size and have held up very well for the two months I have owned them. When I pulled them out of the box I treated them with a waterproof coating and they have kept my feet dry through three Florida down pours. I've worn them on 2-mile walks and no blisters right out of the box. Exactly what I was looking for and a great purchase." —The Dude 31Get it from Amazon for $129+ (available in sizes 4.5–16W, 4–14M, and nine colors).
A nonslip athletic sneaker boasting not only a fun color and unique design, but also light cloud-like cushioning! And just FYI, reviewers have even hiked in these without any problems.
Promising review: "These shoes are amazing! When I first tried them on, I was a bit skeptical because of the support. It's something that I never felt wearing a shoe. I thought, 'great, here comes a blister.' NOPE. The support in these shoes, is absolutely incredible. I'm on my feet A LOT while at work, 14 out of the 16 hours I work, I'm walking or running around halls to keep up with patients/clients. And let me just say WOW! The comfortability is astonishing. I figured that since they are a little heavy, that my feet would be tired, or even puffy and swollen — NOPE. ABSOLUTELY NOT. My feet feel great after I take them off. No blisters, the fit is great. I have a wide foot, and usually wear a 8W or 8.5, so I ordered a 9 and it fits great! Slightly big but nothing a thick sock wont take care of! I'm OBSESSED with these shoes. I ordered the black with white lettering, just to be on the safe side. Now, after I'm done writing this review, I'm ordering another pair! These shows are the real deal." —KayGet them from Amazon for $37.71+ (available in sizes 5.5–10.5 and 21 colors).

I highly recommend these. Now a staple in my closet and they are cute!" —programmergeekGet it from Amazon for $32+ (available in sizes 5–12).
A Keen rose sandal that I've personally been obsessed with for years. They look so darn adorable *and* are unbelievably comfy. I walked for hundreds of miles in my first pair (everything from city streets to nature trails) before I eventually had to order a new pair...and I still love them just as much the second time around.
Promising review: "I put these on right out of the box. Never owned a pair before. Went to Hawaii on vacation and wore these through water, sand, mud, etc. NO blisters whatsoever. 😳 So comfortable. Great traction. We hiked twin muddy terrain and through sand. I was so impressed I bought another pair. My sister in law bought a pair also and she has plantar fasciitis…she fell in love with them also. No pain at all. We hiked for several hours also. Highly recommend. ♥️ —Christine A. YoungerGet it from Amazon for $61.03+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 17 colors).

Promising review: "After shopping in my nearest malls and stores that had little inventory, few sizes and high prices, I ran out of time to find a pair of basic black pump heels to fly to a wedding in five days. I ordered these heels in nubuck black and crossed my fingers. They arrived in a few days (well packaged) and were true to size. Danced and partied at my nephew's wedding and I have no blisters! Thanks so much!!! —Sandra T. GaleGet it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes 5–12, wide sizes, and 22 colors/styles).
A New Balance sneaker with a cushioned and responsive midsole *plus* a memory sole insert, aka a combo that will keep your body ache-free after standing for hours on end. 🙌
Promising review: "This is my fourth pair of fuel cores (all different colors), and I sized up a half size in these because I knew I would be doing some serious walking in them and wanted to allow a little room for swelling that comes with those 20,000+ vacation days. They did not disappoint and got me everywhere I needed to go. No blisters or other discomfort issues. If you're looking for a solid walking shoe on a budget or a good pair for a situation where you need a pair that can have some good cushion but also not be devastating if they get dirty, these are your shoes. Great quality and value!" —MaurineGet them from Amazon for $33.84+ (available in sizes 5–12, wide sizes, and seven colors).

Promising review: "LOVE THESE SHOES!!! I have a wider foot and can't wear many trendy shoes but I am in LOVE with these!! They are truly the most comfortable pair of sandals I have ever owned, no exaggeration. I wore them for an entire wedding, no complains. Walked two miles in them on vacation, no complaints. Ran through a lightning storm in them, NO COMPLAINTS!! I would run a marathon in these if I needed to. Ankle strap is comfortable and stretches enough to put my foot in but fits just right to hold the shoe on comfortably. The two foot straps don't stretch, but aren't too tight. These feel even better than name brand shoes! I LOVE THEM!!! BUY THEM!!" —tyler fischerGet them from Amazon for $35.99 (available in sizes 6–11, wide sizes, and five styles).
A pair of ballet flats to pair with dresses, jeans, slacks, and more. They're super cute, but perhaps more importantly, actually comfy!
Promising review: "I am typically a size 8 in a flats type of shoe, and I usually don't order a wide. But every flat I was trying on squeezed my foot…so I decided to try an 8W in these. While it fit, it was gapping a teeny bit in the back which I felt would rub my heel after so long. I sized down to a 7.5W, and they are PERFECT. My toes don't feel cramped, no rubbing on any parts of my foot, and I can wear them for a full 8-hour work day in total comfort (even on days where I am on my feet more). FINALLY…a flat that is comfortable!!! These shoes do not have much support, but they do not make my foot ache. They also have a bonus little cushion on the top back (where your heel starts to meet your ankle) which adds bonus comfort. I got the faux leather black and faux leather tan. Both are fantastic. But I did try the faux leather navy and they were a bit too tight (so I returned). But for $18, I'll take a size inconsistency here and there…I just definitely recommend trying on each color you get to ensure it fits. I have tried countless numbers of flats before finally landing on these. I can wear them without socks, too, which I could never do with other flats because others rubbed blisters." —Amazon CustomerGet them from Amazon for $15.33+ (available in sizes 5–15, wide sizes, and 22 colors).
A stretchy slip-on sneaker since it basically feels like wearing a soft, comfy sock — a sock that provides tons of support, that is.
Promising review: "I have extremely flat feet (my podiatrist said he's never seen flatter) and plantar fasciitis. I also have a bunion bone that makes the base of my toes wider, whereas my heels are narrow. These are the ONLY sneaker-type shoes that fit perfectly, don't put pressure on my toes, or rub blisters on my heels. The support in them is just right and doesn't bother me like most shoes do. I can wear them all day long (I'm a teacher) and then still go to a walk after work, and I won't be in pain. I will buy more colors. I love these shoes!" —M2Get them from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in sizes 5–13, wide sizes, and 21 colors).
A pair of Anne Klein wedge pumps featuring a super cute twisted strap made from stretchy fabric, making them perfect for casual-chic outfits.
Promising review: "These shoes are so comfortable I ordered two pairs! I'm not a person that is comfortable in heels anymore, but I like to have some kind of height on my shoes. These shoes are perfect right out of the box! No blisters, no sore feet, just comfortable all day long. You can't go wrong with these wedges!" —Danielle DGet it from Amazon for $29.78+ (available in sizes 5–11 and five colors).
A Merrell mid-rise hiking boot if you need to hit the trails with ankle support and foot protection but don't really have time to break in your boots beforehand. Many reviewers say these were super comfy right from the start and didn't cause any hot spots or blisters on their hike!
Promising review: "Let me start by saying I am not a hiking boot fan but bought these because we were going to do some rocky mountainous hiking and wanted the ankle support. I have waited until I had a few hikes under my belt before I wrote a review. The boots were comfortable from the start! They didn't need any 'break in' time. I wore them around the house for a little bit a couple of different days (just in case). I have put approximately 15 or so miles of rocky up and down mountainous hiking on them and they are so comfortable. I have enough room in the boots to wear cushioning hiking socks. I definitely recommend these boots. No blisters!! Great from the beginning of the hike til the end. Try them out." —momma DGet them from Amazon for $127+ (available in sizes 5–12, wide sizes, and nine colors).
A Brooks running shoe that reviewers swear by as being extremely comfy and supportive, even if you have wide feet. Basically, if you've been struggling to find a good exercise sneaker, it's worth checking these out.
Promising review: "These are the best workout shoes I've ever owned! They require no 'breaking in' and are comfortable from day one! No issues with rubbing or blisters. They are also wider and feel highly supportive! I Highly recommend them!! I also disagree with reviews that say to size up — I'm a 7.5 and the size 7.5 fit me perfectly!" —L. CarterGet it from Amazon for $120+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 13 colors).
A pair of Dr. Scholl's kicks so you can ditch the laces while still enjoying the benefits of supportive and comfy sneakers. Did I mention these have memory foam cushioning? Because they do, and you will love it.

Psst! Some reviewers say these shoes run big and recommend ordering a size down. Promising review: "I am obsessed with these shoes! I have white and taupe, and I live in them. I got the black and white, but the black was shiny, so I returned those. I wear an 8.5 and have wide feet. True to size! No blisters! Pair with black crop pants, long pants, or jeans! Amazing!!!" —Stacy ForeGet them from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes 6–11, wide sizes, and eight colors).

Promising review: "Honestly, I can't say enough good things about these shoes. This was my first pair of Tevas and definitely not my last. (I just bought another pair yesterday!) I bought these for a trip to Disney World. The first day I wore them, we walked about 10 miles. Surprisingly, I had no issues with the straps rubbing and no blisters! I now take these shoes with me on every vacation. I'm normally a size 8.5, but I purchased the 8. It was a perfect fit!" —Emily DocterGet them from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in sizes 5–13 and dozens of colors/patterns).

An adjustable cloud-like sandal if you've been searching for the most comfortable shoe of your life. With a contoured footbed that molds to your feet, these feel like walking on a soft, fluffy pillow. 😍
Promising review: "This is my fourth pair! I love how comfortable these are—it's like walking on air! I noticed that when I walk a lot in my leather Birkenstocks, the hard leather caused blisters. I can wear/walk in these all day with no problems. I love all the different colors—so fun!" —GR"These are super comfy. They hold up well and don't make your feet sweat. My friend wanted to go to a 'short' walk (not short at all…over 5miles) to a fort that ended up being flippin closed. They held up for me…a non-let's go for a walk person, in the humid heat of Baltimore. I was wearing these shoes and made it through the whole thing with no blisters or anything! I could even actually walk the next day! I thank the shoes." —KGet them from Amazon for $13.49+ (available in sizes 5.5–16W, 3.5–15M, and 21 colors).
A pair of wide-calf friendly cowboy boots to help you get your ~YeeHaw~ on this summer.
Promising review: "I rarely write reviews but felt compelled for these boots. I ordered 1/2 size up because of the point and for extra thick socks and they fit perfectly. Also my calves are like 14-14.25 inches and these fit with a little bit of extra room so I would say wide calf friendly. I have been searching for a pair of black boots and these arent my normal style but I am obsessed. Ive worn them almost every day since buying and they are holding up. I didn't even break them in before taking them to NY and walking around the city for a week. No blisters, no pain, nothing. They are sturdy, comfortable, walkable, and a decent price. If you have them in your cart and are debating, get them!!" —Amazon CustomerGet them from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in sizes 5–13, wide sizes, and 10 colors).

A pair of sock shoes for anyone who's, well, quite frankly, over shoes. These are close as you can get to going barefoot (and blister-free!) while still protecting your feet from rocks, roots, and all the pain that generally comes with walking without footwear.
Promising review: "I never write reviews - I've had these for two years and it's been one of my best and most practical purchases. I use it at the gym everyday and it's lasted this long. I've also gone trekking in these. While my hiking boots gave me blisters, these were 10 times more comfortable and durable as I walked 9+ hours per day! Great value for money." —KaranGet them from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in sizes 6–14W, sizes 5–13M and eight styles).
