This Podiatrist-approved Shoe Brand Is Up to 65% Off Right Now—Shop 15 Comfy Travel Styles From $37
If you're a frequent traveler, you know how valuable comfortable footwear is, and you likely know that finding a pair that's stylish, supportive, and reasonably priced can feel next to impossible. Luckily, I recently came across Naturalizer's selection of travel-friendly sandals, sneakers, and loafers, and, believe it or not, the shoes tick all of those boxes. The podiatrist-recommended shoes come in plenty of fashion-forward silhouettes, but more importantly, each of them is made with a contoured footbed that's flexible, shock-absorbing, and ultra-lightweight. It's also worth mentioning their inclusive sizing, with extra-wide, wide, medium, and narrow options. I did some digging to find the best deals on the comfy travel shoe brand at Amazon, Nordstrom, Zappos, and Naturalizer's site, with styles up to 65 percent off. From chic, platform sandals to comfy sneakers you can walk miles pain-free in, shop all my top picks, starting at $37. Mary Jane flats have made a comeback, and this comfortable pair is the perfect travel companion for your next trip. The versatile flats have soft and lightweight cushioning, built-in arch support, and a molded heel cup, making them the ideal shoes for a day spent exploring a new city. Plus, the velcro strap makes them easy to take on and off, and the padded collar won't cut into your foot. One reviewer who got these for a trip to Italy wrote, 'My foot is slightly wide and flat. I can even put my orthotics in them. There was a little break in period, but I didn't get blisters or anything." $115 $41 at Amazon $115 $45 at Nordstrom Feel confident you're putting your most comfortable foot forward in these leather sneakers, with a chunky, street-style inspired design. The shoes feature the brand's patented comfort technology that's ideal for those constantly on the move. Plus, the 2.5 inch platform will add a little lift, which I love as a petite traveler. The sneakers have also garnered perfect ratings from shoppers. One Nordstrom reviewer wrote that they were able to them for over eight hours, and said they were a 'perfect' fit. A different Nordstrom shopper shared, 'These are comfortable and perfect for when I need to be standing and walking for long hours.' There's no need to worry about sacrificing style for comfort with these colorful sneakers from Naturalizer. The vintage-inspired design has a subtle, yet eye-catching silver detailing at the heel, and the shoe's upper is made with a sleek combination of leather and fabric. The best part? They're a steep 55 percent off right now, and I've already added a pair to my cart in case they sell out. $110 $44 at With still a whole month left of summer, I'm eyeing these stylish sandals for my end-of-summer beach weekends. The flatform sandals have a convenient, adjustable buckle and hook-and-loop closures that are easy to slip on and off. I love the elevated look of the black sandals, but you can also snag them in brown and a metallic pewter shade. $110 $50 at Amazon $110 $39 at These packable loafers are an easy-to-throw-on and go travel shoe that will elevate any look, from day to night. The ultra-comfortable penny loafers have a durable outer sole and a cushioned, shock-absorbing interior. They're currently a rare $72 off, bringing the price down to just $39. A steal! But since they are final sale at Naturalizer, if you'd like to try them before you commit, you can also score them at Amazon right now for 50 percent off. $99 $40 at Hit the pavement in these sporty lace-up sneakers, which are currently marked down to just $40. The comfy footwear has a breathable mesh upper and a slightly wedged heel for an added lift. One shopper raved that they're 'comfortable from the start,' adding that the sneakers are 'perfect' for walking after recently breaking their foot. These fashion-forward, comfort-focused slingback sandals will make a stylish addition to any summer travel look. The ultra-lightweight shoes can easily slip on and off with an adjustable buckle closure. One Amazon shopper shared that the sandals were recommended to them by their podiatrist, who 'loved the style.' Meanwhile, another reviewer wrote that they are 'super comfy,' and added that they were 'great on the first day of wear.' Upgrade your sneaker game with these denim lace-up platform sneakers, featuring comfort-focused details like a sculpted insole, soft foam lining, and arch support with memory foam. An Amazon reviewer, who shared that their job requires them to 'stand for long periods of time,' described them as 'cute and comfy' after wearing them during a nine-hour shift, and a different fan of the shoe wrote, 'Naturalizer Soul sneakers are the absolute best.' Flat shoes are known to lack comfort, but that's not the case with these effortlessly chic, square-toe sandals. They feature an adjustable ankle strap with a hook-and-loop closure, and the comfortable, cushioned foam-lined insole offers arch support. An Amazon reviewer wrote, 'These are so comfy,' and added that they wore them 'right out of the box without any issues whatsoever.' Right now, they are 50 percent off with plenty of sizes in stock, so it's a deal certainly worth hopping on. $115 $41 at Amazon $115 $48 at Zappos As a New Englander, boat shoes are always in my summer shoe lineup, and I currently have my eyes set on this suede-coated pair. Not only do the shoes seamlessly transition into fall, but the slip-in style is easy to kick on and off. The $41 price tag at Amazon sealed the deal for me; enough said. Even Sperry fans love this Naturalizer style, with one reviewer saying: "I love this boat shoe loafer. It is comfortable, durable and very classy looking. So cute with jeans, wide leg pants or shorts." $125 $44 at Amazon $125 $44 at Zappos These metallic silver loafers from Naturalizer will undoubtedly add a playful pop to any travel or office look. The comfortable slip-on shoes have a contoured footbed with arch support, and they're made with lightweight materials that make the loafers ideal for summer. One Zappos reviewer recovering from a broken foot purchased them for a trip to Italy and described the shoes as 'stylish, comfortable, and supportive.' All six shades are currently on sale, with styles up to 65 percent off (the steepest discount of all my picks). Gen-Zers will certainly approve of these stylish lug-sole sandals, which don't skimp on comfort. The fisherman-style shoes are made with a flexible platform footbed and a sporty platform sole. Even better? They're 58 percent off right now, and despite being the lowest-priced pair on this list, the sandals could easily pass for a designer style, just for a quarter of the cost. Whether you're attending an outdoor summer wedding or looking for a new wedge to add to your shoe collection, this strappy option from Naturalizer is an ultra-comfy option you won't want to miss out on. One reviewer wrote, 'These shoes have been a dream,' and said that 'they are so comfortable to wear all day long.' $100 $70 at Amazon $100 $80 at These slip-on sneakers will take you from in-flight to sightseeing to dinner and wherever else your journey takes you. The comfy shoes have a cushioned footbed, arch support, and a stylish perforated upper to top it all off.

Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale Only Comes Once a Year—These Are 12 Timeless Styles You Won't Regret Buying
In recent years, the trend cycle has begun to speed up. Whereas in the past, we may have been able to enjoy a trend for a few years, most trends now have a lifespan of a few months. Honestly, I'm growing exhausted of trying to keep up, so instead, I'm building up a capsule wardrobe that will hold strong through any fad—and any trip destination. Lucky for me, thanks to Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale, building a collection of elevated, travel-ready basics is easier (and less expensive) than ever. Capsule wardrobes consist of versatile pieces that can be easily mixed and matched to create instantly stylish outfits. I like to stick to neutral colors, timeless silhouettes, and comfy fabrics that I won't get tired of wearing. One major benefit of a capsule wardrobe is that it makes packing so much easier, since all you need are a few workhorse pieces to build many different outfits. I dug through Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale and found 12 travel capsule wardrobe pieces that I'll wear for years to come. They're all sleek and versatile, and they're all on sale. From do-it-all button-up shirts to seasonless sandals, you won't regret buying these items on sale. Keep reading for my top picks from $25. No capsule wardrobe is complete without a simple black dress. This Steve Madden version has a classic midi length, feminine ruched design, and unique bow detailing. It can easily be paired with white sneakers for an everyday look or stylish flats for a dressier ensemble. Not your style? I also love the marked-down French Connection Long-sleeve Rib Maxi Sweater Dress and Nordstrom Polo Sweater Dress. A breezy, wide-leg silhouette and comfy drawstring waist make these black pants an effortless staple you'll want to live in. Plus, the simple yet elevated design will pair with just about anything in your wardrobe, so you can wear these pants on the plane or out to dinner. Plus, check out the stretchy Eileen Fisher High-waist Pants and smoothing Wit and Wisdom Whitney 'Ab'solution Skyrise Pants for more wide-leg options you'll wear with everything. You can save $145 on this gorgeous Coach tote bag today. Whether you're commuting to the office or boarding a flight, this tote has room for all your essentials. Plus, it has a snap closure to keep your items secure and a zippered pocket within for organization. Thanks to its sleek, minimalist design, I'm sure it will become a timeless cornerstone of your capsule wardrobe. Slip-on shoes are necessary for any capsule wardrobe, but they're especially essential for travelers. These stylish Naturalizer flats can easily slip on and off at security, and they're comfortable, too. One reviewer said they required no break-in time, while another called them the 'most comfortable flats [they've] ever owned.' If you prefer a trendier slip-on option, you can also save on the Vionic Heloise Mary Jane Flat and Cole Haan Lana Luxe Penny Loafer. An oversized T-shirt is one of my most-worn closet staples, but I can be picky when it comes to finding the perfect tee. This one has a loose fit without looking frumpy, and according to reviewers, it has a 'nice weight' without being too heavy. The white version is essential, but I also love the black and pink options that are marked down, too. Style them with jeans, shorts, or maxi skirts for summer, and layer them under knits during the colder months. If you prefer a more fitted option, the Allsaints Stevie Cotton T-shirt is another highly-rated option that's discounted in the sale. Black leather sandals go with anything. They'll seamlessly pair with denim cut-offs, linen pants, and elevated dresses, and they'll never upstage your favorite pieces. This Vionic pair is 'comfortable for walking,' according to multiple reviewers, making it a great option for travel. The footbed has slight cushioning, with a hint of arch support to ward off foot pain. Plus, these sandals are just $46 today. If you're shopping for a bolder sandal, I'm also partial to the 27 Edit Naturalizer Via Slingback Pointed Toe Sandal, now 42 percent off. Perhaps nothing is as versatile as a white button-up. Tuck it into trousers for the office, layer it over a swimsuit for the beach, or pair it with denim cut-offs for a casual yet put-together travel look. This one's made of breathable cotton, with a slightly stiff feel that will add some structure to any ensemble. If you prefer something with a flowy drape, I also spotted the Caslon Long-sleeve Drop-hem Button-up Shirt now on sale for just $46. Sometimes fitted jean jackets are in style, other times structured versions are trending, but one thing always remains true: A good jean jacket is a wardrobe essential. I recommend opting for a classic, slouchy style that feels nostalgic without looking dated. I'd throw the Levi's '90s Denim Trucker Jacket over just about anything, pairing it with jeans, all-white outfits, and girly maxi dresses. If you prefer something slightly more elevated, I've also spotted the Levi's Shrunken '90s Denim Trucker Jacket and Madewell Airy Denim Crop Shirt among Nordstrom's best deals. Maxi skirts are majorly trending right now, but if you want an option that will never go out of style, this elevated version is ideal. Whereas cotton poplin and tiered versions might look dated in a year or two, this crinkle version is seasonless. It's available in black and white, and both options can easily be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Plus, the crinkled fabric will disguise any wrinkles after sitting in your suitcase. Pair it with an oversized T-shirt, button-up shirt, and just about any shoes. If you're looking for jeans that will last you years, you can't go wrong with Levi's. Not only is this classic pair durable, but the straight-leg silhouette never goes out of style and looks on-trend in any destination. Sure, jeans might take up some decent suitcase space, but the outfit possibilities are nearly endless. Pair them with white sneakers or classic black booties—this outfit staple will easily take you from day to night. Booties may be known as a fall staple, but I wear them year-round. This Franco Sarto pair would look as stylish with maxi skirts and denim shorts as it would with jeans and knits. Plus, now is the best time to buy traditional fall styles. Snag a pair of booties while they're on sale, and your autumn self will thank you. There are so many styles to choose from. Cashmere is more commonly worn in winter, but I always travel with a sweater in case of chilly airplane cabins and hotel rooms. The Nordstrom Crewneck Cashmere Sweater is now marked down to under $100, which is a steal considering how often you'll reach for it. Trust me, you won't regret buying it on sale while you can. Prefer a chunkier knit? I also love the now-$73 Caslon Textured Sweater Jacket, which is perfect for chilly summer nights. Love a great deal?

27 Comfy Shoes From Zappos To Wear On A Trip
Some chunky-heeled Naturalizer sandals that don't ask you to compromise on style, support, or budget, which means you can put the money you save towards a splurge-y dinner when you're actually on vacation. Promising review: "Super cute and extremely comfortable." —AnonymousPrice: $79.99+ (originally $99.99+; available in sizes 5.5–11 and five colors) A pair of New Balance 327 sneakers so you can ~kick it~ around the streets of your destination in sporty-chic style (and comfort, of course). Promising review: "Best sneakers I've bought in a long time! So cute and comfy and versatile" —AnonymousPrice: $99.95 (available in sizes 5–12 and 11 colors) A pair of iconic Birkenstock Arizonas because these two-strap sandals are supremely supportive *and* durable. The contoured cork footbed molds to the foot for made-for-you comfort, and they'll last for vacations to come! Seriously, mine survived SEVEN years of heavy walking. I bought my first pair in summer 2017, and I only *just* replaced them at the end of last fall — and for what it's worth, I walked A LOT in them. Miles upon miles around town, when visiting family, and overseas!Promising review: "While all Birkenstocks are comfortable, these just might be my most comfortable pair yet. Overall? 5 stars. Comfort? 5 stars. Style? C'mon, they're Birks! :-)" —AnonymousPrice: $115 (available in women's sizes 4–12.5, in narrow and regular, and two colors) Or, some Birkenstock Mayaris if you want the same unrivaled corkbed support but a somewhat more ~dainty~ aesthetic. These are my absolute go-to for trips to Europe, as they're a bit dressier than the Arizonas while still keeping my feet happy as I walk 15,000+ steps a day. I *also* have this style in black. They're my favorite for pairing with dresses and skirts because of the strappy look. For whatever reason, I also find that this style is quicker to break in (but that could just be for my feet!).Promising review: "These are the best sandals made. I will never wear any other sandals. I've worn this style in August in Disneyworld, 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 5–12.5, wide sizes, and five colors) **OR** a shimmery Birkenstock thong sandal to add a bit of ✨ glam✨ as you salsa with the locals. These also come in solid colors, which will look equally good as you twirl about. OK, full disclosure, I don't own this style, BUT I am buying them soon. My mom usually packs these for her tripsPromising review: "I've had different pairs of Birkenstocks for many years, but hadn't worn any for quite some time. Last summer, I noticed several people wearing these, and I thought they were stylish, so I decided I would get them. They are both stylish and comfortable right out of the box. I love them. They look nice with skirts." —AnonymousPrice: $110 (available in sizes 5–11.5 and seven colors) A pair of Sorel waterproof sneakers so you're always prepared for surprise rain showers and sight-seeing through puddles. Truly, the last thing you want is to have to make a midday stop back at the hotel to swap socks. Promising review: "WOW. I created a Zappos account just to be able to write this review. These shoes are THE BEST. 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. If you're looking for a great waterproof shoe, these are it." —AnonymousPrice: $94.95 (available in sizes 5–12 and in five colors — not all sizes available in all colors) A comfy and supportive Toms platform sandal to bring your fashion to ~new heights~. Just think how cute these will look with those new dresses you bought specifically for your trip! Promising review: "These have great support, are not wobbly, and are quite nice looking. Very comfortable." —AnonymousPrice: $70.84+ (originally $100; available in sizes 5–10 and four colors) A pair of classic ballet flats because they take up practically no room in your suitcase and probably go with everything in it, too! You really can't go wrong with this simple-but-sophisticated travel staple. 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 three 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: $90.71+ (available in sizes 4–14, narrow, medium, and wide fits, and 14 colors) Keen's Rose Sandals, aka my absolute favorite summer sandals. They're supportive and sturdy enough for walking or hiking miles (and even have a reinforced toe protector!) while still being lightweight, waterproof, and pretty enough to wear with dresses! Promising reviews: "These are my 'dressy' Keens — I can wear them with dresses and skirts. Keen shoes are the best in comfort and style!" —MrsD."I love this shoe for the comfort and support. This is my fourth pair, and I am ordering another pair today in another color." —TeresaPrice: $120 (available in sizes 5–101 and six colors) A pair of Vionic loafers (with arch support!) in case your trip involves a professional work conference before the true vacation begins. These hit that sweet spot between formal and casual style, so you'll have no problem *immediately* hitting up museums, cafes, and bars after that pesky corporate negotiating is done. Promising review: "Very soft leather, wore them all over Spain while on vacation. Good with a light sock; very comfortable. No trouble with my plantar fasciitis." —DianePrice: $130 (available in sizes 5–13, medium and wide fits, and 24 colors) A pair of strappy Chaco sandals designed with a soft, water-resistant leather upper and gentle arch support, because you simply won't enjoy your trip if your feet hurt the whole time. These sandals have a cult-following for their comfort, so you know you're in good hands... errr, feet? You get my point! Promising review: "I really like these! Great arch support. This particular style isn't as 'summer camp' looking as most Chacos, which is why I got them. Great for walking around the city. Love the navy blue. The system to tighten the strap across the foot is clever and makes them particularly easy to get in and out of. I can tell I'm going to wear the heck out of these." —RebeccaPrice: $73.27+ (originally $79.95; available in sizes 5–12 and three colors) A checkerboard Vans slip-on shoe for an effortlessly cool streetwear style you can rock all day long. Plus, no laces = no hassle at airports! Promising review: "LOVE! These are my eighth pair of Vans and they're so stylish.

Promising review: "Finally, a really comfortable huarache-style shoe! The heels don't slip, moderate arch support and cushioning, and the fit is good overall. The sole provides some cushioning and doesn't slip on pavement like the traditional leather soles tend to do." —SusiePrice: $104.95 (available in sizes 6–11, medium and wide, and two colors) Some rugged Blundstone Chelsea boots since you can rely on these bad boys for just about any kind of adventure, no matter the weather! From wet, muddy hikes to museum visits to local eateries, these promise to keep ya comfy and stylish. You're looking at a BIG Blundstones fan here! I cannot recommend these boots enough, not just for trips, but also just for everyday life. I've had mine for almost 10 years now, and they're still going strong. Sure, they could use a polish on the outside, but in terms of support, I haven't noticed them become any less comfy or supportive since I first bought them. I wear them pretty much all year round, too!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) A pair of Adidas Adilette Aqua slides for anyone heading to an all-inclusive resort. Don't even bother with those flimsy flip-flops because these are oh-so-cushiony with a timeless sporty style. Promising review: "Ordered this sandal specifically for my 75-year-old father who has really bad neuropathy in his right foot and cannot wear anything but really (I mean really) soft-soled tennis shoes in order to stop the pain. I looked at many sandals and thought I would try this because they did not have ridges like most of them do (ridges cause pain) and are very smooth on the surface where your foot goes. Well, he loves them, says that other than his tennis shoes, these are the only things that don't cause pain. Good job, Adidas! I will order again if you keep making shoes like this! —anonymousPrice: $21.99+ (originally $28; available in sizes 6–13 and in three colors) Or, these mesmerizing metallic-strapped Oofos flip-flops to add some ~mermaid energy~ to your poolside hangs. Plus, the OOfoam footbed cushioning technology helps absorb impact, cradles your arches, and encourages natural foot movement. So yeah, these are more than just a pretty shoe — they're smart too! Promising review: "This is my third pair. Love these sandals. I use one pair inside the house instead of wearing slippers. Two other pairs wear on the street. Love the black trim, which doesn't show scuff marks. Great arch support. Very comfortable!!!!" —DebbiePrice: $54.97 (originally $75.95; available in sizes 5–11 and two colors) Slip-on sneakers because you have an absolutely jam-packed itinerary and that means there's not a moment to spare for tying laces! Promising review: "They are true to size. I bought this particular pair because it is multi-colored and goes with virtually everything casual." — $39.41+ (originally $64.99; available in sizes 6–11 and four colors) A pair of block-heel suede sandals in a pretty pink so you can cosplay as Barbie on vacation and dance the night away without having to worry about silly things like sore feet or blisters.

Promising review: "Love these. High level of comfort. Will buy again." —AnonymousPrice: $74.98 (originally $89.95; available in sizes 5–12) A pair of Dr. Martens gladiator sandals to bring some edgy pop-punk vibes to your sunny getaway... because unfortunately, it will be way too hot to wear your beloved Dr. Martens combat boots. Promising review: "I have a wider forefoot and high arches, so my normal size 8 fit perfectly. Out of the box, they are nearly as comfortable as the Birkenstocks I've worn almost daily for years. The strap near the toes is a bit more snug than I'd like, but I know it will stretch with time. The leather is soft, and the straps are secure enough that they won't rub or cause issues. (I have sensory issues and am SUPER picky about that!) As an added bonus, they make me feel real tall." —AnonymousPrice: $139.95 (available in sizes 5–11) A cutout Toms sandal that's so chic, I wouldn't be surprised if folks think you're a local — and since these have a thick block heel, you'll definitely be walking with the confidence of someone who knows exactly where they're going (even if you have no idea). Promising review: "Absolutely love these. My first Toms purchase. Super soft and comfortable. Will be my staple shoes vs. flat styles. I'm short, and these are perfect go-tos. The heel is not too high, and the style is easy. I got the light fabric. Darling! These are true to size." —Anonymous Price: $66.75 (originally $89; available in sizes 5–11 and two colors) A pair of flatform Tevas if you love fun colors, bold patterns, and ~elevated~ comfort. These popular vegan and earth-friendly sandals go three for three — and they'll *also* help you see over big crowds! Promising review: "I love everything about these sandals because they're so comfortable and you can dress them up or down. 10/10 would recommend." —SofPrice: $56.25+ (originally $75; available in sizes 6–11 and 10 colors/styles — not all sizes available in all colors) A darling espadrille wedge so your travel companion can snap the most artsy pic of you strutting down a cobblestone street, skirt or dress flowing in the wind. Unlike other heels, these provide a solid, level surface for walking uneven surfaces. Promising review: "Super cute and comfortable. Not too tall for everyday wear. True fit." —AnonymousPrice: $78.95 (available in sizes 5–12 and four colors) Hoka sneakers, which have a well-earned reputation for being *the* most supportive shoes out there. Many nurses, service workers, and other folks who spend all their non-vacation time on their feet absolutely swear by these, so it's safe to assume they can handle your 10-day jaunt around the globe. Promising review: "The fit is excellent! I've had a hard time finding shoes in my size in wide. These have plenty of room and don't make my feet feel cramped. There is enough cushioning to feel supportive but not overwhelming. My feet feel great in these!" —AnonymousPrice: $140 (available in sizes 5–11, two widths, and 14 colors — not all sizes available in all colors) A pair of geometric cutout slip-ons if you're looking for something more unique than your typical pair of supportive walking sandals. These will transform even just jeans and a V-neck into a super stylish ensemble, which means you can stick to packing mostly basics and then just mix-n-match. BTW, these shoes have received the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) Seal of Acceptance, meaning they promote good foot review: "I love this shoe and have it in two colors. It is extremely comfortable and makes my foot look a little narrower. Yay!" —AnonymousPrice: $189.95 (available in sizes 4–12 and six colors) A Keds white lace-up sneaker because your current pair of "white" sneakers are milky-grey at best and that simply won't do for your big debut in a new country. Promising review: "After trying at least 20 white sneakers, this one is a hit. The leather is soooo comfortable as compared to canvas. The style is just what I was looking for: not too athletic and not too casual. Buy them. You won't be disappointed" —CarolPrice: $64.95 (available in sizes 5–11) A pair of square-toe slingback pumps that'll have you looking way too ~sharp~ to be an American tourist, or, at least that's what the restaurant staff will think. Hope you practiced a few words of the native language to really convince 'em! Promising reviews: "Fit was true to size and very comfortable. Very attractive shoe, especially for a larger foot." —Lisa"Material is soft, super comfortable shoe, stylish, and perfect width." —AnonymousPrice: $119.95+ (originally $135; available in sizes 5–12 and 10 colors/styles)

The leather is nice and soft. I have very sensitive skin on my feet, and I struggle to find leather shoes that don't hurt my feet. These are so comfortable that I haven't had any problems with them. I wanted a stylish loafer and first considered the Gucci ones, but couldn't bring myself to pay that much, so I got these instead. I also love the gold hardware on the front.

We love an adjustable heel strap so that you're not slipping and sliding in all the wrong places! Promising review: "These just came in the mail and they are so comfy!

Promising review: "These are the more elegant version of tennis shoes; you could literally walk all over Europe in them. The top looks and feels like top-grain leather, soft and supple, and the color is superb. The shoestrings are not good-looking, so I changed them to silver sparkle. The sole is white tennis shoe rubber, but the top is superbly designed, you can dress them up or down. Whoever designed these for Cole Haan (kudos) should do an entire collection of metallic shoes, it's the new rave!!" —KennedyKennedyPrice: $190 (available in sizes 5–11) A platform rainbow sandal so you can have a serotonin boost and a height boost, too.
