A pair of dainty little sneakers with ribbon and lace detailing, if you want your cottage core style to go all the way down to your toes. These have a memory foam sole for extra comfort and come with regular shoelaces for those who appreciate having options.
An iconic Teva sandal, since you sometimes want to let your puppies breathe instead of cramming them into a hiking boot. Many reviewers say that these last for years and are worth every penny. Plus, they come in sooo many different color combinations.
Some braided heel sandals, which are actually comfortable, so you can go to dinner, the local bar, and the club all without saying "ouch" every step you take. The 2-inch heel is great for anyone who wants just a little height, minus the foot pain!
A pair of cowboy boots that work for college game days, a night out with friends at the Beyoncé concert, a weekend trip, and... you get the point. These will make sure you get through any occasion with no pain or blisters, all while looking just plain boot-iful.
Aerothotic flip-flops featuring soft straps, arch support, and a cloud-like insole for the ultimate walking sandal. Yeah, you probably didn't think that you'd be choosing flops over traditional walking trainers, but these ones are sooo comfy (and they're sweat-resistant) for those long summer days.
Dr. Scholl's Time Off Sneaker — a TikTok favorite because they're just as stylish as your classic Converses, Nike AF1s, or Vejas... BUT they are actually comfortable and will get you through those days when you go well beyond the 10,000-step goal.

An oh-so-classic pair of slip-on pointed toe ballet flats if you're wanting a shoe that looks like the Rothy's version, but can't justify the $160 price tag. These give you that same breathable fabric and are designed for all-day wear, so you can be struttin' your stuff with no blisters in sight.
Hey Dude lace-up loafers so easy to slip on and off, you might think they are a close cousin to your comfy slippers back at home. They're lightweight, have a memory foam insole for ultimate support, and are even machine washable.

A pair of low-heeled sling-backs so you can make sure you're looking cute and feeling comfortable while commuting to the office. Reviewers love how these look like they're from Chanel and how the strap in the back doesn't dig into their heel, unlike most slick back-styled shoes.
