28 Amazon Shoes That Help Prevent Blisters And Pain
Promising review: "I've never had even an inkling of a blister nor any discomfort, stumbling, or anything even beginning to come apart. The stretchy upper fits snugly and comfortably, but not so stretchy as to allow your feet to slide around at all. They don't budge in these shoes, but instead are given a sort of foot-hug feeling as they're held in place." —JJ Price: $89 (available in sizes 5–11 and six colors)
Ariat leather Western boots that require zero break-in time right out of the box and conform to your foot more and more with each wear. A glove in shoe form.

I am sure the more I wear them, the more they will conform to my foot, but right out of the box? Perfect." —J. HarmanPrice: $159.95+ (available in sizes 5.5–9.5, wide fits, and four colors)

No blisters, no discomfort, good cushioning from the thick sole, and I really enjoyed the slightly chunky look." —Charlene AbramsPrice: $79 (available in sizes 5.5–10 and five colors)
Sporty hiking sandals with a similar grip to your favorite hiking books but take up a *fraction* of the space in your carry-on. Over 20,000 reviews rave that these provide excellent arch support and durable traction.
Adidas tennis shoes that are no-frills, no-fuss, and you'll never ever get sick of them. What more can we say? They're everywhere for a reason.
Promising review: "Got it for Europe trip, three weeks. I had my old pair from five years ago, and I love how comfy it is; I wanted a new pair for our vacation. It was comfy, no blisters...It looks good with everything and can go from day to night, even with a dress. I wore it walking the three cities in Cinque Terre, it got dusty but with a little soap and light brush/wash, it looks new again. Highly recommended. I would buy from here again." —ESJPrice: $70+ (available in sizes 4.5–14 and 26 colors)
Knit flats you can toss in the wash when they need a good cleaning, and et voila, they'll emerge looking brand spankin' new. Bonus points: the flexible knit fabric means they're easy to pack in a cramped carry-on.
Ankle strap flats capable of inspiring even Dorothy to ditch those ruby red slippers for a more practical (but still stylish) option.
Chic London Fog rain booties that have me contemplating a cross-country move to Seattle, Washington for an excuse to don these daily. All I want to do is wear. these. boots. and jump! in! puddles!
Water-resistant Dr. Scholl's slip-on sneakers we're dubbing our favorite travel shoe because not only are these great for hours-long walks through new cities, but they're also excellent for the airport security line — it takes a second to slip 'em off and put 'em back on.
Cushionaire sandals that have amassed over 55,000 5-star ratings, many of which call out the passed insole for providing supreme comfort and support. The best part? A knockout pricetag, currently going for $34.99.
Suede clogs with over 4,000 stellar reviews stating how undeniably comfortably these shoes are — your feet deserve nothing but the best comfort and support footwear can offer, and these deliver.
Reebok walking sneakers dubbed by one reviewer as a Jerry Seinfeld shoe — they didn't mean it as an insult and frankly neither do we.
Promising review: "I actually bought these after my co-worker let me borrow them during our trip to Vegas where I quickly realized my Vans were intolerable. Shoutout to her for putting me on these because I love them. They go with everything and they're my most comfortable shoe now." —MarleePrice: $79.99+ (available in sizes 5–11 and three colors)
A pair of cowboy boots to put the "yee" in your "haw." Plus, reviewers note that these run wider than your average cowboy boots, i.e., your toes won't feel squished toward the front if you weren't born with a narrow footbed (neither was I, it's okay).
Blondo Villa ankle booties you'll be able to pack for casual sightseeing in the morning and afternoon and fancier, chic evening outings. Consider this the epitome of a "day-to-night" fashion stape.
A chunky ankle boot that should really start negotiating for PTO now considering you'll likely wear them every darn day. These babies are destined to become the ~little black dress~ of your shoe collection.
Teva sandals crafted with quick-dry technology so you can walk for hours without having to worrying about slippage due to *ahem* sweaty feet.
Promising review: "I bought these to wear on vacation to Japan. Walked in them every day for a week, about 20,000 steps a day in a very urban setting (using public transit etc.) and they were pretty great. When I first put them on there was a string rubbing around the toe area, but I trimmed it down and then had no problems. They didn't rub my feet or cause any blisters at all. I was amazed." —AriPrice: $55.73+ (available in sizes 5–14 and 51 colors)
Pointed toe, ankle-strap pumps you can consider the first step in building your capsule footwear collection. These beauties are impeccable in their simplicity, are available in several neutral hues, and are comfortable to boot.
Promising review: "I was hesitant to buy these heels. I decided to go for it, and I'm so glad I did!! They are super lightweight, comfortable, and stay on well without slipping. I love the adjustable strap around the ankle, too. They don't hurt my feet or ankles while walking. I'm probably ordering another color. I've gotten lots of compliments my first time wearing them!!" —Holly HobbsPrice: $33.29+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 13 designs)
Ergonomic FitFlops designed with an air-foam material that retains a lightweight, cushiony feel so you feel like you're springing into each next step.
Pillow-like slides so cloud-like, you'll forget you're not actually wearing clouds on your feet. Reviewers love how comfortable they are (look at that cushioning below 👀) and they'll be your go-tos for lounging at home or the pool.
A pointed-toe flat that is basically a blazer in footwear form. Throwing these on with any old outfit = instantly profesh.
Western boots I'd argue are better than a roundtrip ticket to Nashville (no security lines, no having to pay for a carry-on at the gate, etc.). A comfortable, chunky heel coupled with jersey lining, an anti-skid sole, and pull tabs make these knee-highs a dream.
Promising review: "These boots are great! Very comfortable. I have thick calves and they fit great, not tight at all. They stay up and don't slouch, so they keep their shape well. I am a mama of very active children, and these boots are perfect for when I want to look a little more put together and not have to worry about them getting scuffed and costing me a lot of $$$. Great to wear casual or dressed up." —Amazon Customer Price: $62.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and seven colors)
Columbia hiking boots because perfection really does exist, and it's both stylish *and* functional. Reviewers can't stop raving about the solid quality, out-of-the-box comfort, and excellent traction that these waterproof babies offer.
Psst, most reviewers recommend ordering a half size up! Promising review: "These shoes are phenomenal. The lacing holds tight, so if I wear light socks, my foot doesn't shift. However, there's plenty of room to wear wool or fluffier socks. For me, they DID NOT NEED BREAKING IN. This is huge. I hate buying any kind of shoe that has a 'breaking-in period.' These were great from the get-go. I tried them on a moderate 5-mile hike on a rugged Washington (state) trail. No blisters. I put them to the test today on an 8-mile hike up a steep incline, and holy cow. They were amazing." —Stevie Price: $48.14+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide fits, and 10 colors)
Doc Marten lace-up boots that I personally started wearing in high school and, well, never stopped. These require a short breaking-in period, but once completed, you'll be throwing on these all-weather shoes every day.
New Balance Women's Fresh Foam Running Shoes with an ultra-supportive design for your cardio workouts and beyond — reviewers say they're comfy and don't require a break-in period. How great is it to have a shoe you can wear for running errands *or* actual running at the gym?
Thigh-high boots that are the perfect compromise: They look ultra-dressy but manage to be unbelievably comfortable, ergo you can look chic and put together without having to feel like you're wobbling around on stilts.
Promising review: "I decided to give these a try because of the price, and I'm so glad I did! I was very impressed by the quality of the material, as well as how comfortable they are. I am very picky about my shoes and typically do not buy shoes that are not name brand." —WhitneyPrice: $39.99+ (available in sizes 5.5–11 and 18 colors)
Sanuk Yoga Mat flip-flops reviewers say "j'adore" to thanks to impressive durability and a cushioning that mimics yoga mat material. These babies have been worn by travelers throughout trips to Europe, Southeast Asia, and more, all with stellar marks.
Strappy platform pumps for your next night out or special occasion. Imagine you on the dance floor in these comfy babies? You definitely wouldn't miss those uncomfy black heels sitting in your closet.
Promising review: "I typically like to get shoes that are under three inches because I find high heels to be very uncomfortable. But these shoes are the exception. About 5 inches high, these heels are very comfortable and very, very cute. I wore these shoes during my graduation yesterday, and my feet did not hurt even after walking for much of the day. Note that I didn't even break these shoes in (it was my first time wearing them), and yet they were very comfortable on the first wear! I would 10 out of 10 recommend this! Get yourself these shoes if you are looking for an easy-to-wear pair of cute heels." —Danielle J.Price: $41.99+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 18 colors)
Chelsea boots that, despite having a generous heel, are comfortable enough to walk around in all darn day. These are perfect for weekends fueled by coffee runs and trips to the bookstore.
Promising review: "I really like these shoes a lot — they're incredibly comfortable for being heeled boots and I can stand in them all day at work. While I've only gone through one winter with these so far (in Chicago), they still look great! I also sprayed them with water protectant, and it didn't affect the suede material at all, so I would 10/10 recommend these." —SarasriPrice: $32.99+ (available in sizes 5–11 and eight colors)

Paige Lorenze's Dairy Boy is Releasing an Evergreen Collection
Paige Lorenze is smart. When she first created those iconic Dairy Boy hats in 2021, nobody could have predicted that it would turn into what we know the brand to be today in all of its multi-drop, Instagram-famous, sell-out-in-minutes fame. But that was never the final vision for Paige. I sat down with the longtime creator to talk about the process of ushering the brand into its new, full-fledged fashion era, and one thing was clear: Her next goal is that Dairy Boy takes on a life of its own. "If someone buys something from us and has no idea who I am, that's awesome,' she tells me. "I want to be recognized as the girl who owns Dairy Boy, not just Paige. That's way cooler to me.' Ironically I am, in fact, allergic to dairy, but Dairy Boy isn't just for the horseback riders and ranch dwellers (and milk drinkers) of the world. This new collection, the first non-drop Dairy Boy launch, is a step towards Paige's bigger vision for the brand—it's as much for her long-time supporters as it is for the casual shopper who didn't know to set their alarm for a minute before the drop hits the site. It's a collection that'll be available to purchase anytime someone searches 'Dairy Boy' out of curiosity. It's something more permanent, pieces you'll return to again and again, infused with the same Western cowgirl meets New England equestrian charm. If you're itching for a peek before the collection officially launches on September 4 at 11 A.M., keep scrolling for a behind-the-scenes look at her upcoming AW25 collection, along with exclusive details on Paige's go-to vintage inspiration, her thoughts on taking Dairy Boy international, and whether she'd ever do a bridal collection. I always knew what I wanted this collection to be, that this is where the brand was going. I was envisioning these pieces when I originally started the brand. But it's a big undertaking, which requires a good team. It's a lot of outerwear, fleeces, jackets, and flannels. Sporty but also vintage-inspired and a little preppy. It's inspired by who I am as a person, my background and upbringing and the things I love. It's amazing that people were following Dairy Boy even when we didn't have that product to offer because the drops kept selling out, and now I finally will have product that mirrors the imagery on our socials and mirrors that feeling of nostalgia and sport and movement. It's exciting to see it finally come together! Probably eight months from sketch to the final product. I had a mood board of exactly what I wanted and I brought in an amazing new designer, Maddie Pesavento, who has tons of experience. I gave all the designers that I interviewed a little project, and it was so clear to me that Maddie understood what I was trying to do. The whole process takes a long time but these are pieces that I want to live in. I've worn them a lot to make sure they lasted, because I wasn't willing to sacrifice the type of materials we were using, but I needed it to be in a certain price point. And I am a very active person, so if I couldn't go horseback riding or skiing or hiking in this stuff and have it hold up, then it wasn't gonna make the collection. The wear test was a big part of the collection. Definitely. That's just authentic! Like, I'm wearing this stuff. I'm constantly teasing all of my products and it's unintentionally become part of the rollout, which is exciting. Plus, anyone who's subscribed on YouTube gets to see the behind the scenes process, which makes things inherently more personal. It's not just a piece of clothing that they love, it's also a piece that they got to see brought to life. There's a cool emotional connection. I think people want to buy from people, you know? The buffalo check fleece is probably my favorite. It's so good. I love the fact that it's pink, and then it has this vintage patch, and it doesn't cinch at the waist like a lot of fleeces do but it has a more menswear fit. So it's this fine line between looking like something you'd steal from your dad, but in a fun shade of pink. The whole collection is really detail-oriented. I talk to my team a lot about how typically, if you want something really special that has unique little details, it feels like you have to spend over $400 now. And that, to me, is a shame. What we're trying to do is create an experience where, when you order from Dairy Boy, you're so pleasantly surprised by how detail-oriented and thoughtful everything is. I love old Oakley and Patagonia. A lot of the old hiking brands like Filson and vintage Wrangler. Obviously Ralph Lauren. Princess Diana is always on the mood board. But also, the woman that inspired this collection most were the women that I grew up with. I went to school in Vermont, and the moms of my friends were always wearing cool outdoorsy shoes, no makeup, always gardening or hiking. They were just so confident and I'd always see them in these in-between moments, going from dropping off their kids to heading to the garden. They're getting their hands dirty. These older women in my life inspired this collection a lot. They're active and they're confident and they got their hands dirty. They inspired me the most. There's such an aura around women using great clothing to do the thing it's designed for. It's something I try to be careful about. Like, I own horses, but I don't want to do a shoot at my barn if I'm wearing a bunch of stuff I would never ride in. That Kate Moss photo had that aura for the same reason. And consumers these days are incredibly smart and can tell when something doesn't feel authentic, so we try to be very thoughtful about making sure that the storytelling is accurate. If we are doing a horse shoot, I'm actually wearing my riding stuff and I'm actually going for a ride after. You can't be slick with people on the internet. I think the brands that are trying to do that will have a hard time growing with their audience. It's brutal out here. It's not like that's an easy part of the job, but I'm listening to my customer. If you're not having a constant conversation with your customer, what's the point? They always say the brand is what the customer says it is, not what you say it is. I think the customer that keeps coming back really loves the marketing, at least at first. The visuals are what drew them to the brand in the first place, but then they're pleasantly surprised by the quality for the price. I hope they feel like they're part of something bigger than just the clothes, that there's an emotional connection. I think you could wear one of our fleeces and feel like in a way, you're becoming the woman I described that we look up to. That you feel empowered in it. I think lifestyle brands should do that. I want to make clothes that are powerful like that. A hundred percent. You articulated that perfectly. These clothes are all really easy and really comfortable, and those are the best clothes to me. I love wearing something really snatched every once in awhile, maybe when I'm in the city, but wearing something that feels good and looks good while running your daily errands is the best. This is going to be our core, but we're still going to continue to do drops that are more limited. We're designing a really exciting Christmas collection with some very cool jackets, like puffy jackets with horses on them. We'll have a really fun summer drop that's more limited, but maintaining that evergreen collection. Because to me, a real shame of the past few years is that anyone who was curious about the brand in passing has not been able to experience the brand. Being like, "Oh, what's Dairy Boy?" and not being able to find items that they can experience because they didn't log on at 11. I've missed out on all those customers and I think that that's a really important customer. We'll maintain the excitement with more of these capsule drops that might be more fun and risky. And once we get this really dialed in, I'm excited to expand internationally, too. First and foremost, honestly, I just want Tommy [Paul] to be able to come [to my NYC pop-up in Soho]. Tennis players don't have an off season so I wanted to schedule it at a time where like he could be there and we could celebrate such a big moment for my brand together. But also, we've been together for three years and I've just had so much fun creating around tennis as an ex-athlete, as someone whose mom played tennis, and as someone who now is a huge fan of the sport. There is just such a cool aura to these tournaments. I've drawn so much inspiration from tennis, so timing it around the US Open felt like I could make some product that was tennis-inspired and it would like have some nice synergy. We're going to have a few US Open pieces at the pop-up this year. Yes! We made a dress in the same pattern. It's obviously more country and more casual because it's plaid instead of silk, but it's the same body as the one I wore for Wimbledon. And then we have three tennis sweatshirts that are vintage-inspired. We've had so much success with those. It's been incredible. I did not expect people to love the tennis stuff as much as they have. But it also makes sense because there's an authentic tie to it, we're not just slapping a random sport on a sweatshirt. We're in the process of designing for Spring/Summer next year, and we are definitely doing a bridal-inspired collection. I don't want to cut the non-brides out of it, but think of a collection that's just really beautiful with white pieces that you can wear all summer. When I got engaged, everyone was commenting, 'I need a bridal collection!' so I took it to my design team. I'm really excited about it, even if you are not getting married, white's a great summer color. Totally. We're also thinking about doing some slip dresses and some lace and some underwear and bras and pajamas and robes. So I agree. I feel like it will land well. I'm really excited about it. I'll keep you posted! It's all the things that I love. I've always wanted to do an ice cream truck. It just makes so much sense. One time I did a pop-up in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and so many girls thanked me for doing a pop-up there because brands often bypass the suburbs. The girls felt like we really cared about them, and I think that's really sweet. And Dairy Boy is about the country coming to the city, so I wanted to put my money where my mouth is and have a way for girls who can't come to the pop-up to experience the brand. All the ice cream is free, and we're driving the truck from my hometown all the way down to the city and making stops along the way. I think she'd be so excited for me. I've always felt like I had a calling to do something like this, something creative and community-oriented. I think she would be proud that I stuck through the trials that come with owning a brand and being in the public eye. I was a creator way before TikTok, so I didn't really fall into it accidentally. I chased what I wanted pretty fiercely, and I feel like I'm in my calling, which is really cool. Being a creator is such an odd job. I don't think it's natural to share your whole life online. I don't think it's natural to get that much feedback good and bad, or get your life picked apart or go through relationships online. But I still feel like I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. I'm proud of myself for sticking through that and coming out the other side and creating something like this. I feel like everything is falling into place, but I'm really excited for a year from now where I've had a core collection for a year. I'm excited for when it's no longer like, oh, Paige and this influencer brand Dairy Boy. I want it to be this cool, authentic brand with good quality clothes that's way bigger than me. And I know that I can do that because of how good Dairy Boy is and how good my team is. I'm excited for the brand to grow without me, without necessarily having me attached to it. I have a collection that I'm really proud of that's not just a drop model, and it's just beginning now. If someone buys something from us and has no idea who I am, that's awesome. I want to be recognized as the girl who owns Dairy Boy, not just Paige. That's way cooler to me. The Dairy Boy AW25 collection will be available to purchase on September 4 at 11 A.M. EST. The collection will range from $25 to $185 and will be available in sizes XS-XXL.
