27 Comfortable Shoes From Zappos
Some Asics GEL-Renma sneakers reviewers swear are ready to go right out of the box, so say goodbye to one or two uncomfortable pickleball games and hell-o to shoes that feel like victory the very first time you put them on. Promising review: "These are the fifth shoes I've tried and have finally found my match. I prefer a shoe with more room in the toe box, and these are the ones. Not so roomy that they feel like clown shoes. Heel does not slip on my somewhat narrow ankles. No break-in needed. Foot felt supported throughout many games of pickleball." —AnonymousPrice: $67+ (available in sizes 5–12 and four colors) A pair of Birkenstock Mayaris if you want in on that classic Birk sandal action, but with a should I say crisscross? The toe straps make these a charming (AND NECESSARY) addition to your fave Arizona Birkenstock collection. Promising review: "These are the best sandals made. I will never wear any other sandal every day. I've worn this style in August in Disney World, St. Augustine, Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce, Las Vegas, and I can walk forever. Every color is attractive. Nothing ever rubs, there is no break in required. I can't stand a thong between my first and second toe, but with these, you can't even feel it. I hope they never get rid of this style." —AnonymousPrice: $110 (available in sizes 5–11.5, wide sizes, and five colors) A pair of New Balance 327 sneakers I can tell you are comfy enough to buy twice, because I TOTALLY DID. These are the perfect long-distance-but-still-cute shoes that I've rocked at the zoo, to dinner, and just walks around the block. I literally never regret reaching for these. My other pair is the sea salt/rust oxide color if you want a peek in side my New Balance obsession. (And now I kinda want the Incense/Bone/Landslide variation, too, tbh.)Promising review: "These are SO cute in person. These fit beautifully, though they are a little bit longer than expected. Also appreciate that they came with two sets of laces—one black and one white! Every time I've worn them, I've gotten someone commenting on them." —AnonymousPrice: $99.95 (available in sizes 5–12 and 11 colors) Some hardy Blundstone Chelsea boots your PNW friend would assure you is worth the hype: a classic silhouette, lasts-forever design, and the kind of slip-on comfy you crave. Why wouldn't you want several pairs of these? Promising review: "These boots are worth every penny! After a short period of breaking in, they feel great for hours of walking on trails or even in town. They keep your feet warm and dry." —AnonymousPrice: $199.95 (available in sizes 6–11 and lots of other styles and colors) Some glitzy Sam Edelman sandals perfect for summer brunch plans, baby showers, and everything else that could use a touch of glam without breaking your feet. Promising review: "Great deal for a gorgeous sandal. Love these sandals very much — comfortable, trendy, and lightweight. When I wear these shoes out, plenty of people say they're beautiful and ask me where I bought them from. I bought two pairs in different colors so they're easy to match my outfits. GREAT SANDALS." —NancyPrice: $120 (available in sizes 5–11 and three colors) A pair of classic Converse Chuck Taylors that are always in style because they've been the cool kid shoes since the early 1900s.

Promising review: "Best shoes ever. They are the MOST comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I work in a hospital and people told me over and over again to buy some Danskos, but I was unwilling to spend the $$. After two years of crappy shoes at a lower cost, I broke down and it's the best decision I ever made. I would definitely buy them again.

I ordered them a few days before my vacation after I found out it was supposed to rain the entire time. (Shout out to Zappos for getting them to me in time!) They were so comfortable and kept my feet dry. One night we got caught in a torrential downpour and ran through several puddles. My pants were completely soaked through but these shoes kept my feet completely dry!!!! I wore them almost every day for two weeks and walked over 15k steps a day without blisters or pain. I'm in awe.

It's hard to reenter society after kids, but these help!" —Ellina $79.95+ (originally $109.95+; available in sizes 5–11, three widths, and in two colors)

'There aren't many fans who want him to start' - Danish journalist on Rajovic
The debate as to whether allowing Mileta Rajovic to spend the season out on loan was the correct one still goes on – but it seems certain the striker will be back at Watford this summer. The 25-year-old Dane's spell with Brondby in his home country has become less and less successful as the season has ticked by. Third hot favourite for Watford job in one day WO correspondent discusses Hornets on TalkSport Having not scored since February, Rajovic now has five goals in 22 senior outings for Brondby since moving there in August. Four of those five came before the Danish league's winter break, and he has found the net just once in his last 11 outings. Since the Superliga split, with the top six teams playing each other and the bottom six playing each other, Brondby – who were second in the regular season – have played eight games and Rajovic has featured for just 196 minutes. He has started one of the eight fixtures, and come off the bench in six others. The Watford Observer posed questions to Danish journalist Toke Theilade, editor-in-chief at , to get his take on the Rajovic situation. Do you think there is any chance that Brondby might try to re-loan, or even sign, Rajovic? 'It is very low at this point. Reports have emerged that the club has decided to let him go at the end of the season, which makes sense considering how little he's played in the spring." He seemed to play less and less as the season went on - what happened? 'Brøndby cleaned the house at the end of last year. 'The sporting director and head coach that brought Rajovic to the club were both sacked. 'The new head coach Frederik Birk hasn't played him much and prefers faster and more mobile strikers up front. He's simply been used as a late emergency target man. 'This has also been disappointing since he came in on deadline day in August and was thrown into games straight away. 'He was supposed to be better in the spring when he was more accustomed to the system and his teammates, but it hasn't been the case. 'It should be mentioned though that he doesn't suit Brøndby's style well either. 'Birk wants to play possession-based with short passes and few crosses, and Rajovic is obviously best when he receive loads of crosses.' Has the head coach said much about him? 'Not really. The focus has mostly been on Filip Bundgaard instead, who is also not playing a lot. 'Generally, when asked about the players on the bench, Birk refers to the tough competition the offensive players are facing and how they have to work hard to earn playing time.' What do the fans think of him? 'He was very popular in the beginning. 'His past at the academy at the club suited the love for the local talents, and he started greatly. He had an immediate impact with four goals in his first five matches and impressed with his nose for goals. 'However, as we have seen more of him, the opinion has dipped a bit about him as a player. 'There aren't many fans who want him to start, and it is recognized that we are a better team when selecting our other options. 'Regardless, he is still a popular guy due to his past, and he is appreciated for his goals. 'Ultimately, this has been a season to forget for Brøndby as the club will finish without titles yet again. There haven't been many positive stories this season, so generally the mood among the fans is poor at the moment.' Having seen him for a season, what do you think Rajovic's strengths are? 'He is definitely lethal in the box. His instincts are great, and his finishing is at a high level. 'You can easily see that he has a nose for goal and has good positioning in the penalty box. Also, he is physically strong which is a dangerous weapon on crosses.' And what do you see as his weaknesses? 'To me, it seems like almost anything else is a weakness unfortunately. 'He doesn't contribute much in the build-up play and doesn't link up well with the teammates. For a guy his size, it surprises me that he doesn't win more aerial duels. He also isn't great technically and his lack of pace is also an issue. 'Generally, I think it is a problem how he needs a very specific playing style to be successful. He isn't an agile player that can work in different environments. 'That's also the reason why he has mostly received cameos in the spring, when Brøndby were either chasing goals or defending leads and needed his powers in the air." From what you have seen, could Rajovic score the goals next season to make Watford promotion contenders in the Championship? 'I think Rajovic will score goals anywhere he goes, but I don't see him becoming a regular player for Watford if they want to earn promotion. 'He seems more like a back-up striker to me that you can use for specific situations where his strengths are required.'
