33 Spring Shoes That Are So Comfy, They'll Carry You Through A Full Day Of Sightseeing

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! 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. 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). 6. Or Time Off Sneaker that has managed to impress countless reviewers — from frequent travelers who fly for work to college students studying abroad. They're made with water-resistant faux leather *and* have ultra-flexible outsoles with extra grip and cushioning. And bonus! They're sustainably crafted from recycled material. 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). 7. Some bestselling Adidas Cloudfoam sneakers with cloudfoam cushioning that has earned them over 16,000 5-star ratings. They'll be the two lil' clouds your feet need when it comes to a long walking day. And since they're super lightweight, you can also pack them without stress! Promising reviews: "They felt weird the first time I put them on…but as I started walking in them it got better! Usually my feet are killing me by the end of the day or I'm just super sweaty in my dress shoes, but these are like walking on a literal CLOUD ☁️ and they let my feet breathe!" — Alyssa "Literally the BEST shoes ever! So comfy. I spent a whole day at Disney with no complaints, normally I'm tired after two hours of walking in the park, but with these babies, I was up and walking alll day with no problem." — Katherine 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 "I love these! They are the perfect dad sneakers and super in style! I love the blue color as well. They're comfortable, great quality, and they provide a lot of support. They're true to size as well." — Stephanie Russell Get them from Amazon for $58.50+ (available in sizes 5–12, including narrow and wide sizes, and three styles). 9. Or super springy Hoka Clifton sneakers, which come in *many* fun, bright colors that simply pair well with the sunny weather. Whether you're roaming a European city or just looking to squeeze in some cardio, their foam footbed and light, plush design will make you feel like you're floating instead of letting your poor little feet feel the effects of the long miles you've walked so far. (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. 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). 11. Floral ballet flats with adorable cutouts that aren't just for style, but for breathability! Plus, they're flexible as heck, so you can roll them right up to take on your next sunny getaway! It may not be groundbreaking, but florals for spring just make sense. 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!). Vivaia Vivaia is a small shoe brand founded in 2020 with the mission to create stylish and high-quality footwear. Many of the brand's shoes are made from recycled water bottles, and they've implemented a production process that actively works to reduce waste. Get it from Vivaia for $97 (available in sizes 5–11 and in 31 styles). 13. High-top Converse sneakers with a chic platform sole — whether you pair them with your fave pair of jeans or juxtapose them with a dress, they'll have you looking on-trend wherever you go. 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. They're absolutely adorable and who doesn't want to be just a couple of inches taller! :) Now I just need them in black!" — Jennifer Kaul Get them from Amazon for $64.99+ (available in sizes 5–12 and in various styles/colors). 14. Ultra-comfy Allbirds Tree Pipers I could've used on my tour of the Vatican (breathtaking, but also five. hours. long.) They're made of eucalyptus fiber to keep the insides nice and breathable, and the flexible fabric is designed to move with your feet. Allbirds P.S. They can be tossed in the washing machine when they start to get smelly, and they're made with renewable materials! ♻️ Promising review:"Just spent a week in Paris and these were the most comfortable shoes for hours of sightseeing and trekking around the city every day! My feet were happy, and they looked so cute with jeans and casual skirts, and were easy to keep clean, too. My new favorite shoes!" — Jessica G. Get them from Allbirds for $105 (available in sizes 5–11 and nine colors). 15.

Not only will these keep your feet nice and dry, but they're also super breathable, have an anti-slip rubber sole, *and* have a pull tab at the heel that allows you to take them on and off super easily. 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 Get them from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes 6–11 and in 33 colors). 16. Or some lightweight Tioseban sneakers because they weigh basically nothing (buh-bye luggage weight fees👋) and are made of breathable mesh that'll keep your precious feet cool and sweat-free. Basically, if you want to combine the freedom of being barefoot with the support of a cushy sole, these are the shoes for you! 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 Get them from Amazon for $38.99+ (available in sizes 5–13, wide, and in 33 colors). 17. Snazzy heeled slip-ons if you want something you can easily slip on for a snazzy dinner after taking a much-needed nap at the hotel. These babies have a thick heel for stability as well as soft, thick braided straps to keep your feet in place (because having them slide all over the place can be so annoying!). Promising review:"Reaching for these sandals more and more because they're comfy, cute, and elevate my outfits! They didn't require any breaking in and I've worn them for an entire day out and had no issues with long-term wear. Fit was true to size. Going to get another color since I love them so much!" — Nidhi Patel Get them from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes 6–10, in two heel heights, and 24 colors). 18.

I'm gonna need these in every color (and there's a lot of them). 😍 Promising review: "I've worn these everywhere!! They are super comfy and lightweight, go with everything, and run true to size. I got them in white as well, and I'm obsessed. I've been to a concert in them, driven in them, and also, I went on vacation recently and walked all over the city, went out, and danced at bars. I've never had a pair of heels that are so comfy! Seriously so worth the money." — Courtney Wilson Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes 5–12 and in 26 colors). 19. Or Nisolo flatform sandals, which you'll absolutely love if you're going on a tropical getaway. They've got a lightweight, breathable design that won't let your feet overheat *and* they don't even need a break-in period, so you can toss them into your luggage as soon as they arrive! Psst — these are final sale! Promising review:"I love these shoes as everyday sandals! I can throw them on with anything and feel put together and comfortable. I did not have to break them in and have already worn them several times since purchasing a couple of weeks ago. I would very much recommend them." — Cait Get them from Nisolo for $138 (available in sizes 5–11 and in four colors). 20. Sketchers slip-ons that'll let you avoid having to awkwardly stop in the middle of a busy city walkway to crouch down and tie your shoe *again*. With these, you can keep the cute sneaker look sans the pesky laces! Plus, many reviewers say they're super comfy — even if your feet are on the wider side! Promising review: "This is now my go-to travel shoes. I first wore them on my vacation to Curacao and it was the perfect shoes for walking tour of Willemstad. I didn't get the chance to break them in before traveling but turns out I didn't need to. They are comfortable and doesn't rub the back of my foot which usually happens with shoes of this style. I wear them everywhere at this point and I will reorder for my next vacation as I have worn out the first pair." — Janjan Get it from Amazon for $24.89+ (available in sizes 5-11 and in 19 colors). 21. Or some classic slip-on sneaks — the pretty color options will catch your eye, but the breathable canvas material, padded insole, and stretchy fit are what will capture your heart. 😍 Reviewers also rave about how surprisingly easy they are to pack! Prime members: You can try before you buy! Promising review:"I bought these to take on a trip; they arrived and I packed them without breaking them in — no worries, they are so comfortable, I wore them the whole trip. Love, love these shoes!

Promising review:"I have had the brown color of these sandals for going on three years now. They are the most comfortable sandal ever. I've worn them all over on several vacations, all over Vegas. No blisters!! So cute and casual. Ordered white and will probably order the black! They are my favorite ever!!!" — Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $34.99 (available in sizes 5.5–12, including wide sizes, and 30 color/style combinations). 23. Or Dr. Martens platform sandals because they'll practically have you ~floating~ through the streets of a new city. Adjustable buckles? Check. Super lightweight EVA soles? Check. Ripple tread platforms? CHECK. Doc Martens, you've done it again. The brand mentions they can run large, so consider sizing down, especially if you're between sizes. Promising review:"I am obsesseddd with these shoes! They don't even feel like I'm wearing platforms. They just feel like sandals, which is good because I'm clumsy. I ordered the size 7 because I'm usually a 6.5, but they don't have half sizes. The 7 is fine, I'd say just about a half size too big (lol), but I just tightened the back strap, and we're good to go!!! They're great. I have like 100 pairs of shoes, but I wear these several times a week, whenever I can. Worth every penny. I want 10 more pairs of Dr. Marten's sandals now." — Maggie Get them from Amazon for $69.95+ (available in whole sizes 5–11 and in six colors). 24.

So when a brand markets itself as having a focus on stylish comfort, I am all ears. 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. Even after hours of dancing, my feet felt great and I got loads of compliments.

Plus, those groovy scalloped soles will give you some extra height *and* give you some extra style points. Sorel Promising review:"These shoes are perfect! I was looking for a summer sandal that I could walk in/dance in while also being comfortable. I have flat feet and weak ankles so it was a gamble, but these are so cute and comfy. I will definitely check out their other shoes. I see that other people pointed this out, and it's important to note, the [hook and loop strap] is pretty loose so you may need to readjust a few times, but it's not inconvenient enough to return." — Flatfooted Get them from Sorel for $135 (available in sizes 5–12 and in four colors). 28.
