Buzz Feed29-03-2025

Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. Huarache sandals to ring in spring break with a fun pattern! These are 100% handmade and woven by Mexican artisans, so each pair is unique! They're *perfect* if you want the comfort of a supportive sneaker, but in a more ~cutesy~ way. They also have a miraculous way of perfectly molding to your feet, meaning you'll spend little to no time breaking them in!
Macarena Collection / Etsy
Macarena Collection is a small biz based in Buena Park, California! Since they only make whole sizes, they suggest sizing down if you're in between sizes as the shoes will stretch and mold to your feet as you wear them.
Promising review:" Can I give these 1,000 stars? They are soooooo comfortable!!! I was afraid because my feet are on the wider side, but oh my do they fit absolutely amazingly well!! Don't hesitate to buy them!! I love them! I love them! I Love them!!" — Jennifer Baez
Get them from Macarena Collection on Etsy for $46.49 (originally $61.99; available in sizes 5–10).
2. A must-have pair of Birkenstock Arizona sandals, which have a contoured footbed for that extra arch support, which you'll *really* appreciate two hours into that walking tour. Whether you're wearing a classic pair of denim jeans or your favorite flowy dress that's been hiding in your closet all winter, this laid-back pair is just the thing you need to complete the look.
Promising review: "This is my second pair of Birkenstock Arizona Slide Sandals. I bought them for a trip that we will be doing a lot of walking. They are so comfortable. I can wear them all day and my feet won't hurt after walking for long periods of time." — EmmaSimm
Get it from DSW for $114.96 (available in sizes 4–11.5, as well as in narrow sizes, and in five colors — not all designs available in all sizes) or from Birkenstock for $115 (available in sizes 4–12.5, as well as in narrow sizes, and in three colors).
3. Absurdly cheap yet cute waterproof Chelsea boots because I think we both know you're way past letting some spring showers ruin your trip (or your outfit)! These will allow you to splash around in slushy puddles all you want without any worry of getting a dreadful wet sock.
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 5–13 and 15 colors).
4. Or a pair of waterproof sneakers for all the sneakerheads planning a trip to the Pacific Northwest or to a moody Northern European city. These are a great alternative to your regular rain boots!
www.amazon.com
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 10 colors and styles).
5. Super supportive, water-resistant Dr. Scholl's kicks — aka the new cushy pair of shoes you'll be reaching for when it's time to go to the airport. Since they're super easy to take on and off, TSA might just stop yelling at you as you try to make your way through security as quickly as possible.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
FYI: These are made from recycled bottles!
Prime members: You can try before you buy!
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 28 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 5–13 and in 24 colors).

Get them from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 25 colors).
8. A trendy, lightweight pair of New Balance 608 V5 Cross Trainers that amazed a reviewer with how well they carried them through a full day at Disneyland — and we all know that's the true test of comfort for any pair of shoes. They're made with minimal interior seaming and are lined with supportive foam inserts so that your feet can kiss those painful blisters and midday discomfort goodbye.
Prime members: You can try before you buy!
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

(And it's only noon!)
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 $116 (originally $145; available in sizes 5–12, two width options, and 22 designs).
10. Quick-drying, long-lasting Teva midform sandals if you're praising the return of sandal season. These are a must for any activity that doesn't require a closed toe. Whether you'll be trekking through the city, or just walking from your hotel room to the pool, this quick-drying pair will keep you from feeling like you're walking on wet sponges while the strap design ensures your feet stay put.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
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 5–12 and so many colors/patterns/styles).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
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. T hey 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
Get them from Amazon for $12.94+ (available in sizes 5–12 and in nine colors).
12. Or some pointed-toe knit ballet flats that would pair wonderfully with cute linen shorts and a fitted tee while enjoying some gelato in Italy. They have heel rebound, arch support, and are made of breathable fabric that feels like a second skin (they're even machine-washable!).

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.

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

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

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.

8 of the Best Latin-Themed Musicals Ever on Broadway: From ‘West Side Story' to ‘Buena Vista Social Club'

Two Latin-themed musicals have opened on Broadway within five weeks of each other, receiving some love from the Tonys this year: Buena Vista Social Club, which co-leads the list of nominees for the June 8 awards ceremony with 10 nods, and Real Women Have Curves: The Musical, which received two. More from Billboard Patti LuPone Apologizes for Her 'Demeaning and Disrespectful' Comments on Kecia Lewis and Audra McDonald Los Alegres del Barranco Cancel Show in Michoacán for 'Security Concerns' Grupo Firme Cancels U.S. Concert Due to Work Visas Being in 'Administrative Process' Buena Vista Social Club — which narrates the story of the Cuban artists who brought the acclaimed Grammy-winning album of 1997 to the world — competes in categories including best musical, best performance by an actress in a featured role (Natalie Venetia Belcon), best book (Marco Ramirez) and best direction (Saheem Ali). Furthermore, the musicians who make up the band in the show will be recognized with a special Tony Award. Real Women Have Curves: The Musical is nominated for best original score — by Latin music star Joy Huerta (half of the Mexican pop duo Jesse & Joy) and Benjamin Velez — and best performance by an actress in a featured role (Justina Machado). Based on the play by Josefina López and HBO's movie adaptation, it follows 18-year-old Ana García, a daughter of immigrant parents who struggles between her ambitions of going to college and the desires of her mother for her to get married, have children and oversee the small, rundown family-owned textile factory. And a third Latin-themed show is currently in the works: BASURA, with music and lyrics by no other than Cuban-American superstar Gloria Estefan and her daughter, songwriter Emily Estefan. Inspired by a true story, BASURA (Spanish for 'garbage') will narrate the journey of Paraguay's Recycled Orchestra, a group of young artists who turn scrap material into instruments and music into possibilities. But Broadway has had a long-standing history affair with Latin music and artists, with shows ranging from classics like West Side Story, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Evita and Man of La Mancha, to more recent productions like In the Heights and On Your Feet! — and legendary stars from Rita Moreno and Chita Rivera, to Lin-Manuel Miranda. There was also the short-lived The Capeman [1998] starring Rubén Blades, Marc Anthony and Ednita Nazario, a Paul Simon musical based on the life of convicted murderer Salvador Agrón which closed after only two months; and Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown [2010], an adaptation of Pedro Almodóvar's iconic black comedy film, which received mostly negative reviews and lasted three months. Meanwhile, some non-Latin themed shows have featured Latin stars throughout the years, like Hamilton, starting with creator Lin-Manuel Miranda and including Anthony Ramos and Javier Muñoz; and Chicago, with Mexican actress Bianca Marroquín playing both Roxie and Velma intermittently since 2006, and star guests including Sofía Vergara, Jaime Camil and Sebastián Yatra.

Linkin Park will perform on Sept. 13 at the Intuit Dome as part of the From Zero World Tour. The show was originally going to be at Dodger Stadium but was switched to the Intuit Dome due to low ticket sales.
