Promising review: "Love these shoes. After reading other reviews, I do agree that going half a size larger is best. I'm usually an 10, but ordered 10.5 and they fit great! Highly recommend!" —AnonymousPrice: $99.95 (available in sizes 5–12 and 11 colors)
Dr. Martens Chelsea boots that will give you nostalgia for the combat boots you wore in college, but these are way easier to get on and off. And they add edge to every outfit.
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, they are just right in person! Didn't take much time for them to break in, the leather is good, and on one shoe I can see real nice grain texture. (They aren't the type of shoe that looks like plastic.) I am considering putting an insole in them just to make them that much comfier." —AnonymousPrice: $114.95 (originally $130; available in sizes 5–12 and in dark brown)

A pair of Birkenstock Arizonas that never disappoint in terms of comfort or style. You've been wearing them for years now, so why fix something that's not broken?
Promising review: "I was a little hesitant to buy these because it has a man-made upper rather than a leather one. I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of the material. I would definitely order them 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 lightning speed." —AnonymousPrice: $115 (available in women's sizes 4–12.5, men's sizes 6–13.5, two widths, and in stone)
Mesh Mary Janes with rhinestones that perfectly complement your shiny personality. And they're nice and breathable, too.

They fit perfectly." —AzelsmPrice: $140 (available in sizes 4.5–11, medium and wide fits, and 15 colors)

A Sam Edelman slide sandal for any warm weather uniform. In fact, you'll probably want to pick up a backup as you'll be wearing these daily.
Promising review: "I have very difficult feet (super high arches and slightly wide feet, but not wide enough for extra-wide shoes). I live in a warm climate so I can wear these almost year-round. They are very comfortable and I can wear them for short strolls or shopping. They are a stylish and budget-friendly version of similar shoes that YSL and Hermes make. Also great for travel as they take up virtually no room in a suitcase or even a tote bag." —SuzieGPrice: $57.54+ (originally $90; available in sizes 5–11, medium and wide fits, and 15 colors)
Sam Edelman ballet flats that are an essential in every closet because they can be paired with jeans and dresses and look good either way.
Promising review: "You know someone loves a shoe when they buy a second pair of them...and I just ordered my second pair. I got a pair this spring, just before I had some minor foot surgery. It turned out to be one of two pairs of shoes I could wear without pain because it doesn't have any pressure points. I literally wore these for 3 weeks straight. I love this shoe because I can wear it with jeans or skirts and it's easy to wear on a plane. They pack great!" —AnnPrice: $84+ (available in sizes 4–14, narrow, medium, and wide fits, and 15 colors)
Hoka Clifton 10 running shoes so comfy, they might just motivate you to go outside and get moving because of their super cushy sole. These are like, cooler dad shoes, and every step will be nice and bouncy.

Frye leather slip-ons for those days when you want something low effort but still stylish. These are low profile and have a naturally worn-in look that makes them a go-to choice.
Promising review: "I really love this shoe. Nicer than wearing a regular 'tennis shoe' while still being casual and comfortable. Worn right out of the box without any issues. I am usually a size 8 in most shoes and this fit perfectly in an 8." —ShelleyPrice: $128 (available in sizes 5.5–10 and four colors)
Sam Edelman slingbacks with a cute kitten heel that give you some extra height without straining your entire foot. They come in fun patterns (animal prints!) and solid colors, so there's an option for every personality.
Promising review: "At first, I didn't have much faith in these as I had already tried on many pairs of pointy-toed kitten heels, but they are amazing! The fit is great, I think it's because they're longer in the toe box than the others I tried, so when my foot slides forward, my toes aren't being pushed into a tiny point. The heel is comfortable, and the cushioning is just right. It's an updated classic look that I will wear for years to come." —AnonymousPrice: $97.96+ (originally $140+, available in sizes 5–14, medium and wide fits, and 20 colors)
Superga canvas sneakers because a good pair of white tennis shoes gives you so many outfit options — dresses, skirts, shorts, and jeans will work so well with them!
Promising review: "I love these sneakers! I was looking for a replacement for my Simple sneakers because they no longer make them, and these are just the ticket. They are well-made, comfortable, and so cute. They have a good full arch support. If your foot is widest at the toes, though, I would recommend going up a half size." —Heidi KPrice: $36.63+ (originally $70; available in sizes 5–11 and eight colors)
Adidas slides that will bring you back to your carefree soccer team practice days when you didn't have to pay bills and be an adult. These sandals are still just as comfy as you remember, btw.
Promising review: "I took others' advice and sized down. Normally I wear a women's 9.5–10, so I ordered the M8/W9, and the fit is perfect. Flip-flops rub a blister between my toes, so slides are a good alternative. These look sharp, and the price is right." —CMMPrice: $20+ (available in sizes 5–14 and in white)
