27 Pairs Of Shoes From Amazon Sure To Become Your Faves
A pair of memory foam-lined quilted sneakers that are so comfy and come in so many colors, they may just become your immediate go-to pair of casual shoes. Get ready to feel like you're walking on clouds as you pick up your mood-setting iced coffee. You deserve it. Head's up that some reviewers say these shoes run big, and recommend ordering a size down. Promising review: "HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I ordered my true size. I tried them for the first time after a long day of walking and shopping. Super light and comfortable!! I would normally want to be out of shoes after spending all day on my feet but I don't want to take these off. Will definitely be shopping the other colors they have to offer." —Gina PPrice: $28.44+ (available in sizes 6–11, including wide fits, and eight colors) And — speaking of walking on clouds — a pair of cushioned slides that feel like little pillows of clouded comfort. And reviewers agree! They love just how comfortable these shoes are AND that that manage to keep feet cool and dry in summer. Walking on air? Don't mind if I do. Promising review: "Love them! So comfortable! Really your feet will not sweat. I notoriously have sweaty feet and nothing but perfection here. I just moved so I'm walking a ton of laps in my new place. They are great! Easy to slide on. Walk the dog. No breaking in! They are better than my Crocs! 😜" —Laura GreenPrice: $23.98 (available in sizes 4–12.5 and 16 colors) A pair of comfy espadrilles you can easily dress up or down — making that day-to-night transition worth the effort. Reviewers love how versatile and comfortable these shoes are, and you'll be surprised by just how many outfits suddenly become much more comfortable. Promising review: "These were a perfect fit! They are so comfortable and match a lot of the clothes I own. The day after I received them, I wore them for a whole day. I helped set up a baby shower, loaded up gifts, cleaned up, and by the end of the day, my feet weren't tired." —WhitPrice: $25.49+ (available in sizes 5.5–12, including wide fits, and in 42 colors and style options) Slip-on Converse for taking all of the effort out of re-lacing your shoes in the morning because you were too tired to untie them the night before. These shoes are everything you've loved about Chuck Taylors since you were in high school — but with no added effort. Promising review: "If you're debating about whether to buy the Chuck Taylor lace-up version or this slip-on version, DEFINITELY go for the slip-on!!! I ordered both to compare and while they look very similar on, the slip-on was way WAY more comfortable. In particular, because the tongue of the shoe doesn't seem to be as long in the slip-on version, that means it won't rub into the top of your foot and create unsightly marks. Ick! Who wants that? Three cheers for the slip-on!" —Urban MomPrice: $55.95+ (available in sizes 5–11 and five colors) A pair of memory foam-cushioned knit flats that turn every outfit into something cute and allow you to get as close to warm-weather slippers as you possibly can. Promising review: "Love these shoes! I was looking for a flat that looks professional and is comfortable, and these are perfect. I'm a wedding planner and spend roughly 10–12 nonstop hours running around at events. I have been wearing them at work for the last three months and my feet have been comfortable and blister-free. Plus, they look cute with slacks, a dress, or skinny jeans on my days off! I just wish they had more colors available because I'd buy them all!" —Erin $26.80+ (available in sizes 5–11, including wide fits, and five colors) Block heel sandals to pair perfectly with your office attire, happy hour fit, or running to Target to grab that thing you saw last week jeans. They really are that unicorn of a shoe you've been looking for. Promising review: "These are basically my everyday shoes. I wear them in the office and I wear them out and about. I went out with my friends one night and danced for six hours. My feet were sore by the end of the night but I was able to still walk without taking them off. They're comfortable and look nice. I get compliments on them all the time. Goes with almost all of my outfits." —QuyenPrice: $24.95+ (available in sizes 5–10 and in 11 colors) A pair of 3.5-inch Toms block heels bringing the comfort of Toms you've always loved but with an elevated touch beyond the original canvas shoes. Plus, there's nothing quite like feeling like you're heading to the Mediterranean seaside, even if you're just heading into the office. PS: The Toms one-for-one guarantee is still around — for every pair of shoes purchased, they'll donate a pair to a child in need. Nothing like looking cute, feeling comfortable, AND helping kids get shoes. Promising review: "WOW THESE shoes are SO comfy!!! They are really soft and flexible — reminds me of a dance shoe. I'm NOT a heel-wearing girl, but this heel is the perfect height. The footbed is cushy and the suede is really soft. I usually don't spend this much on a pair of shoes that I wouldn't wear on a daily basis, but I'm so glad I did! They are my go-to shoe with a crop pant or dress now..." —tara_fitandhappyPrice: $40.79+ (available in sizes 5–12 and in eight colors) A pair of mules destined to make any fancy warm-weather event so much breezier and easier. Forget shoving your poor, exhausted feet into a pair of unyielding chambers and instead embrace the ease of slipping your feet in and out of shoes that look great with literally no effort required. Promising review: "Great fit for flat feet. Very comfortable and nice material." —Y. DelpilarPrice: $39.99 (available in sizes 6–11 and 13 colors) A pair of leather sandals with a contoured footbed that molds to your foot for ultimate comfort and arch support. You may have gotten away with flat-as-paper sandals when you were young, but it's definitely time for some arch support now. Promising review: "I wore these all summer and they are SO comfortable it feels you're not wearing shoes. I've have Birkenstocks and I like these better. My feet are on the narrower side, so once I tightened the straps, they fit perfectly. Would definitely recommend!!" —Amazon CustomerPrice: $24.70+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 21 colors) A laceless, breathable sock sneaker because laces are the worst and we all need a little more structure to our shoes these days. These sneakers are so versatile, well-made, and light you may just never want to wear a different shoe again. Promising review: "These shoes are fantastic in every way! They look so awesome on, they are soo comfortable, great quality and you can't beat the price! One of the best buys I've ever made. They'll look amazing with anything..." —shaykPrice: $15.49+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 24 colors) A pair of oh-so-classic Adidas slides that will quickly become your favorite pair of shoes for running out the door. From grabbing the mail to running to the convenience store for a treat to heading down to the pool, these shoes are comfy, sturdy, and stylish all in one. Promising review: "I am impressed by the arch support! I thought these are just a flat slipper, but they actually fit my foot and are really comfortable." —YamoPrice: $27.99+ (available in sizes 5–14 and eight colors) A pair of vegan leather sandals so multifunctional, we can definitely keep the phrase "orthotic insole" between us. No one will be the wiser. Promising review: "These shoes are AMAZING! Wore them for the first time today to run errands. After 8+ hours of wearing them, my feet don't hurt at all! Great fit, love the cushion sole, and the braided front actually helps to keep the shoe on. Wide-foot friendly also." —Tiff $29.99 (available in sizes 5–11 and seven colors) A pair of Toms canvas flats because they've been around forever and haven't lost their luster. Toms canvas shoes are light, have just enough support, and go with almost any outfit. Promising review: "These are my first purchase of Toms, and they are so comfy. It's like walking on a cloud of marshmallows. I will definitely buy more Toms. The shoe is also nice looking and the design lets my feet breathe." —MzDreadlockPrice: $24.95+ (available in sizes 5–13, including wide fits, and 72 colors and styles) A pair of Skechers knit slip-ons for those days you're on your feet all day. These shoes are non-slip, cooling, and lined with memory foam — making them the perfect vacation sight-seeing shoe. Promising review: "I just returned from a 3-week trip where I primarily wore these shoes, and these are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn! The cushioning is fantastic. I was hesitant about buying shoes with a fabric top, but they held up through miles of walking without problems. I have flat feet and a swollen big toe joint, and they never hurt. They run true to size. I'm going to order another pair." —S. KaplanPrice: $32.45+ (available in sizes 5–11, including wide fits, and seven colors) A pair of breathable, lightweight, and laceless white sneakers that will instantly turn a dress into an outfit you can actually walk in. The embroidered flowers give the shoes a *hint* of something extra, and the lack of laces is perfect for kicking them off at the end of a long day and falling onto the couch with a snack like you've always imagined you would. Promising review: "I love these shoes! I have two pairs now — white and gray — and they are my go-to shoes. They look great in jeans, a sundress, and capris. Since they are low-cut, there is an impression of longer legs. My white pair I have washed several times and they look like new each time. They are affordable and really flattering." —Donna CreightonPrice: $25.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and 21 colors) A pair of pointed-toe leopard loafers because a touch of leopard print is always a good choice. These versatile loafers will help you express your feisty side without sacrificing comfort — these babies have memory foam and a heel pillow so you can release your inner RHONY all day every day. Promising review: "These shoes are incredibly comfortable and required zero 'break-in' time. The first time I wear a new pair of flats, I always bring a pair of backup shoes because inevitably the new flats rub my feet somewhere and cause blisters because they need to be broken in. With this pair, I didn't use the backup pair I brought! I'll definitely be purchasing these in more colors." —RebeccaPrice: $22.80+ (available in sizes 5–15, including some wide fits, and 10 other colors) Puma Carina sneakers — white sneakers that go with absolutely anything. There's no reason to sacrifice shoe structure for that easy, breezy, sporty look we all love. Promising review: "These shoes are perfectly supportive. I have flat feet, with my ankles starting to roll to the inside. The support I get from these drastically reduces the amount of roll, making it so that my legs/feet look and function noticeably better! Will buy again. I did find that they fit snuggly, maybe that helps them feel so supportive?" —Pam ClarkPrice: $52.49+ (available in sizes 5.5–11) Chunky block sandals so you can have a warm-weather going-out shoe that will actually allow you to stay out all night. Do not — I repeat DO NOT — be that person who is slinging heels over her shoulder and walking down a public street barefoot because your feet gave out — not that I know from personal experience... 🫠 Promising review: "I was nervous to buy these shoes since I have had a lot of experiences buying cute sandals that turn out to be really uncomfortable. These are super comfortable and easy to walk in, and I can wear them all day! I also got a ton of compliments on them!" —doodlePrice: $26.59+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 27 colors) A pair of Dr. Scholl's slip-on sneakers that *finally* make orthopedic styles trendy and functional. Honestly, though, I own these, and they are the most comfortable and versatile sneakers I've ever had. Allow me to climb onto the rooftop: GET THESE SHOES. I have been loyally wearing these for a few years now and will never get another pair of slip-ons. These babies have seen theme parks, pumpkin patches, long walks, and short errands and they carry me through all of them with effortless comfort. They are my favorite sneakers I have ever worn and if Dr. Scholl's ever stops making these I will probably just turn to dust and float away. Promising review: "I LOVE THESE! I got the black faux snakeskin ones. They fit perfectly for slip on AND they stay on. No breaking in these... so comfortable from the start. Comfort and style?! Yes! :)" —Jes Price: $35+ (available in sizes 5–13, including wide fits, and 21 colors) A pair of Croc ankle-strap wedges for those who are curious about what all of the cool kids are onto but aren't 100% ready to commit to that Croc lifestyle. I warn you, though, after wearing these, you may just embrace Croclife forever, and *psst* — that's also A-OK. Promising review: "These shoes were a favorite over the summer. I ended up wearing them every day because they were so comfortable, and I loved how they looked with all my outfits and how the platform gave me a little extra height. I was able to put them in the sink and wash them so that they didn't become stinky and to keep them clean. They fit as expected and the look was better than expected. I received many compliments on them and pointed out to everyone who made a complement that they were Crocs. Who knew that Crocs had high heels? I recommend the shoes highly." —Healthy LivingPrice: $46.01+ (available in sizes 4–11 and three colors) A slide sandal that beautifully bridges the gap between a sandal and a house shoe — which we could all use. They're also low-profile, making them the perfect choice to throw into your suitcase for that trip you've been looking forward to. Promising review: "Slip on and go! These shoes are so comfortable and look good with any article of clothing. I wear them with dresses, shorts and jeans and I just love them. The blue is a pretty color and I'm looking at purchasing them again in other colors, that's how much I love them." —Geri Massaro Price: $7.73+ (available in sizes 5.5–11, including wide fits, and 26 colors) A wedge sandal from the one and only Dr. Scholl that will turn any day into a day deserving of a little heel. Wedge sandals go with everything and Dr. Scholl has never steered me wrong, so say hello to ultimate confidence, you heel-wearing She-Ra. Your comfort insole secret is safe with me. Promising review: "These are the best sandals I have ever had, they are so comfortable, bought them went to Disney World and that is a lot of walking so I expected some blisters, but there were none, so there is no break-in period. You can literally hit the ground running in these shoes. Love them." —stephonPrice: $47.91+ (available in sizes 6–11 and three colors) Doc Martens sandals by yet another genius doctor of foot comfort. These sandals are classic Docs — cute, comfortable, and durable. Honestly, what more can we ask for? Psst! Reviewers suggest sizing down in review: "I love these shoes. I bought them as walking shoes to wear on my vacation in the islands. I read the reviews and bought one size down and when I received they were a bit snug, but two days later they were stretched to support my feet perfectly. They provide that classic Doc Marten comfort and I am so satisfied with my choice. They look good with almost everything. I've walked miles in them so far and my feet never ache." —Cam BronxPrice: $75.28+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in two colors) Laceless loafers 100% boating party-ready no matter where you live. Manifest that ocean breeze and gentle yacht rock. I can smell the salty air now. Promising review: "These Hey Dude shoes are my go-to for everyday wear. They're super lightweight, comfy, and easy to slip on. The beige color matches everything, and they're machine washable, which is a huge plus. Perfect for errands, travel, or just lounging around." —Home Comfort and LovePrice: $27+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 17 colors) A pair of platforms that will bring you straight to a late-90s classroom without the dreaded *squeak squeak squeak* that came with too-plastic-y platforms. We loved it. We learned from it. We added memory foam. We love it again. Promising review: "These sandals are right on trend and so comfortable. I was comparing a few different brands, but I'm glad I went with these. They have a comfortable sole, are true to size, and did not require a 'break-in' period. Would definitely recommend!" —KatjaPrice: $39.99 (available in sizes 6–11 and two colors) Ballet flats with memory foam insoles for those of us — *ahem* ME *ahem* — who had to stop wearing their favorite style thanks to lack of support. Ballet flats still go with everything and add a little daintiness to your day — only now they're ALSO comfortable. Put them in your cart in 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4. Promising review: "I can't tell you how many compliments I have received on these shoes. They're adorable!! They're comfortable and super stylish! I'm on my second pair and considering buying a third one. I don't ever want to not have these in my closet." —FixurpetsPrice: $25.87+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide fits, and 17 colors) Slip-on sandals that will go with literally anything you choose to wear now that warm weather is back. Say goodbye to sacrificing that sundress for comfortable shoes — you CAN have both. Heck — one reviewer even wore them for her wedding. Promising review: "SO comfortable and they fit perfectly!! They're inexpensive but don't let that fool you. They are super cute, lay flat in a suitcase, are lightweight and look great. Shades of nude are tricky but they nailed it. Colors are accurate. I am going to buy every color!" —Amanda ThomasPrice: $26.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and in seven colors).

Drew Barrymore, 49, swears by these comfy Adidas sneakers — save 50%
As a teen in the '90s, I modeled my entire fashion sense after Drew Barrymore, from my Delia's baby tees down to my Doc Martens combat boots (if you know, you know). And now, three decades later, it's a trip to learn the current-day talk show sensation is obsessed with the same sneakers as I am — the shockingly comfortable Adidas Nizza Platform Shoes, which are on sale for just $39 (that's over 50% off) during the brand's winter sale. Like Drew herself, these canvas lace-ups are undeniably adorable and absolutely timeless — in fact, she shouted them out on Instagram as her go-to travel shoes. We all know Drew has access to the best things money can buy, so if she calls the Nizza Platforms a travel essential, you can trust that they're worth every penny. And at over 50% off and just under $40, that's within a very reasonable budget. If you're afraid all-white canvas sneakers might not be for you, as trendy as they may be, fear not: Nizzas are also on sale in black with signature white Adidas stripes. And these are sneakers you can pair with so much of your wardrobe — they've got a lot of mileage in them. The Nizza sneakers didn't make it onto Drew's packing list just for being cute. It turns out their chunky soles are actually hiding an EVA sock liner that feels like memory foam, making them perfect for all-day walking, whether you're exploring New York City (my stomping grounds as well as Drew's!) or just getting your 10,000 steps in. I didn't know I needed them until I tried on my friend's pair of Nizzas and was seduced by the way my foot just sunk into its marshmallowy footbed. I immediately got my own pair and proceeded to wear them all summer. This was a few years ago, and I'm so thankful these sneakers are machine-washable, because other than getting dirty, they've held up (but, you know, that's canvas for ya). While I used to be a Converse girl, the relatively thin soles on my classic Chuck Taylors weren't cutting it anymore. I was glad to be able to trade them in for these Adidas shoes because they have the same lace-up design and appeal, but with way more comfort in each step. Even the toe box is more rounded in the Nizzas, so they're clear winners, and I'm never going back. The Adidas Nizza Platforms have an overall star rating of 4.7 from more than 4,000 shoppers, and the reviews shed light on what makes these sneakers the best-kept secret in footwear. The comfort of Nizzas is truly a standout. One shopper wrote, "I wasn't sure if platform shoes would be comfortable and provide arch support but they!" Another wore them "for lots of walking while on a trip and had no problems. No blisters, no pain. It also provided support which I needed due to my plantar fasciitis." But the true testament to their comfort came from a shopper who said, "Most comfortable sneakers I have ever worn. I have multiple foot issues including Morton's neuroma. These are the only shoes I can wear for long hours of standing and walking without having pain. I have 16-hour days when we host summits and often spend long days and multiple days in theme parks and never have pain when wearing these shoes." Reviewers are having Cinderella moments, too. One commented, "I have wide feet and they fit nice' and another called the Nizzas "wide foot friendly." Others are super pleased with how easy it is to incorporate Nizza Platforms into their wardrobe. "Goes great with wide-leg jeans and pants," said a pleased shopper. "They're just so timeless and classic...I can wear them with almost anything." Another suggested the sneakers "can match any outfit: from casual to sporty to casual business, with skirts/dress/jeans." A few noted that the Adidas sneakers run a bit big, and that sizing down by a size or a half size helped. One helpful customer wrote, "I usually wear a size 6 in most brands, but these run a little large, so I'm a 5.5 in these. For reference, I'm a 5 in Converse, 5 in Fit Flops, 6 in Sorell sneakers, 5.5 in Hokas." And, of course, some complained that their white sneakers "get dirty pretty quick." One person emphasized, "Love the fit and style, but disappointed in the color because the web picture seems to represent it as bright white. It is an 'off white' with white stripes." The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.
