33 Pairs Of Shoes That Are Reviewer-Approved For Walking Without Pain

We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.

These shoes can keep up with your particular brand of fall-flavored chaos.

Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

1. Some waterproof Blondo Villa ankle booties if you firmly believe puddle jumping shouldn't be just for kids or at least you shouldn't have to worry about ruining your cute new booties and walking with wet socks the moment it starts to rain.

Promising review: "I bought these for travel after seeing them recommended on several travel sites. Although the manufacturer says the boots are waterproofed, I did spray them with a suede protectant. I recently returned from a trip to Barcelona, where I wore these all day for several days. We walked about six miles a day, and I had no discomfort. (They’re significantly more comfortable than the pair of Cole Haan Chelsea boots that they were bought to replace.) It rained pretty heavily one day, and I found these to be completely waterproof. What’s more, the rain did not seem to affect the boots at all; they still look brand new. I plan to take them with me to London and Paris next month. They also look great for work with tights. All-around great shoe. I’m very pleased with the purchase and would highly recommend them." —HEO1121

Get them from Amazon for $63.99+ (available in sizes 5.5–11, including wide sizes, and in eight styles).

2. Crocs flip-flops because whether you're headed to the mailbox, the post office, or a vacay resort, Crocs will have you looking fashionable and feeling like you're walking on a cloud, no matter the weather, distance, or terrain.

Promising reviews: "I walked around Epcot for 12 hours in these flip-flops. Not a single sore. So comfortable! Highly recommended." —tina roya

"These are AMAZING. The only flip-flops I’ve ever owned that I can literally walk all day in comfortably! Took them on an eight-day beach vacation and averaged 5.5 miles per day walking! They stick to your feet firmly — very little 'flopping' LOL. I also have wide feet and have issues finding flip-flops and sandals that my feet won’t spill over the sides of. Amazing shoe. And for a Crocs product, not bad-looking!" —S Doeringsfeld

Get them from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes 4–11 and 17 colors).

3. A pair of Dr. Martens gladiator sandals any Docs lover will tell you are comfy and rock 'n' roll. If you want a lil bit of height and a lil bit of edge without sacrificing your feet to the fashion gods, say hello to your new fave pair!

Promising review: "I bought these for walking long distances in my city. I wanted something to look cute, but be comfortable. The leather is a bit stiff, so I wore them for short distances a few times before wearing them out to do errands. I covered three miles in them yesterday, then went to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers and danced for two hours, and my feet felt great! I'm a high heel girl, but if you need comfortable, soft sandals, these are the ones. If you don't wanna take the time to break them in (I mean, they ARE Docs after all), just buy some moleskin and attach it to the stiff bits. BTW, TONS of compliments, too." —Chris Quinlivan & Dion Serene

Get them from Amazon for $59.98 (available in sizes 5–11).

4. Some comfy pumps that are workplace-approved, brunch-approved, and won't-cause-major-foot-pain-approved. What more could you want from a pair of personality-filled kicks?

Promising review: "I walked 8.3 miles in these heels and have no regrets. I wore these for the very first time for Disneyland's Dapper Day, and I was OVERWHELMINGLY surprised with how comfortable they were! I have never bought shoes on Amazon before and was worried that the fit and or quality would make me regret my purchase. But truly, it was far from it. The heel is the perfect height to give you a lift and is wide enough for you to feel secure! The strap, when fitted snugly around your ankle, can be a bit irritating when it rubs, so I loosened it. At the end of the day, the balls of my feet were a bit sore, but that's just the effects of Disney. But I'm happy to report that I have no blisters, and I can't wait to wear them out again!" —cissyjworstell

Get them from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes 5–11, including wide sizes, and 15 colors).

5. Sporty hiking sandals ready for any of the trekking you have planned. Whether that's on trails or to the local bookstore is totally up to you.

Promising review: "This is my third pair of these sandals in three years. I keep buying them every year because they are the absolute best sandals I have ever had. I've worn them hiking for hundreds of miles through the Appalachian mountains, worn them to wander through miles of California's redwood forests, 7,000 feet up Mount Rainier, along winding trails at Mount St. Helens, and besides being comfortable and durable enough for all that hiking, they look super cute with a sundress and even very convenient to slip on to go to the grocery store. These sandals deserve ALL the stars and then some." —Lisa2197

Get them from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and 17 colors).

6. Or a pair with soft fabric straps for a slightly different (but just as sporty!) ~lewk~ that are designed to cushion your feet mile after mile.

Viakix is a family-owned footwear small business that was founded in 2015 and is based in New England.

Promising reviews: "I bought these to travel and wear in a hot environment with 4–7 miles of walking a day. They were fabulous! Comfortable from day one and perfect if you have any foot swelling at the end of a hot hiking day." —Amazon Customer

"The straps are very soft, not itchy and stiff like most sandals. I've had several foot surgeries and require a lot of support, but I also want something cute and affordable. These check all the boxes!" —Cece

Get them from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and eight colors).

7. A pair of double-buckle slides that are as easy on your feet as they are on your wallet. And they are just as comfy as Those Other Brands™️ without costing an arm and a leg... Or either of your feet. 🙌

The seller recommends checking the size chart, which details the best size for your foot length. The back strap is also adjustable!

Promising review: "Comfy and trendy enough. I like 'em! I prefer not to wear shoes that don't have a back. It's my paranoia that I'll have to break out in a run at some point. But these work very well. I walk miles in them without discomfort. Plus, they're cute. Trends up any casual outfit. They are not Croc- or Birkenstock-level comfort because the sole is not cushioned, but it is carved out just right for the naked foot. Update: Just came back from a month in Costa Rica during rainy season, and I'm so glad I brought these! They held up so well getting through muddy pebble streets. The soles were thick enough to not feel the rocks beneath me and keep my toes from getting in the dirt. When I got in, I just washed them off. The white color held up in all that, and they never felt uncomfortable or as if they would come off my feet (a concern I have about sandals without ankle straps). They are excellent value. Get 'em!" —MelRay

Get them from Amazon for $14.99 (available in sizes 6–10 and two colors).

8. Versatile Toms sandals because the same people who made the shoes you wore on the playground are now here to see you through that business meeting you've got next week in the comfiest way possible.

Promising reviews: "Absolutely love these! They are so comfy that I can walk miles in them without my feet hurting. They also go with every outfit and can easily be dressed up or down." —Cassidy

"I'm obsessed with this shoe! I love that it fits like a bootie. Adorable with skinny jeans/leggings, dresses, etc. Can be dressed up or down — I wore them to a wedding in Greece, and also out and about during the day in Spain. Very comfortable for walking, dancing, whatever!" —jasmineflower

Get it from Amazon for $47.12+ (available in sizes 5–12 and three styles).

9. Soda flatform espadrilles for the perfect amount of peek-a-toe that won't rub your feet (or your wallet!) the wrong way. These are perfect for those in-between casual/elevated outfits and outings where you need a shoe that can do it all and not give you blisters while doing it.

Promising reviews: "Don't hesitate any further, just buy them! I am super picky about shoes, especially sandals, and these are so comfortable. I wore them for hours walking around downtown, and no blisters, no discomfort, nothing. They look amazing, too!" —Summer

"I walked 10 miles in DC wearing these. My feet did not give me any trouble until the last mile! I got so many compliments. Fantastic purchase." —Callie King

Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and in 42 colors).

10. Sanuk Yoga Mat flip-flops reviewers love for their cushion and their longevity. (This reviewer wore them nearly every day for three years!) If you're tired of buying new flip-flops season after season and want ones that will hold up to all the romping and jam-packed calendar days, throw these in your cart and thank me later.

Promising reviews: "I bought these Sanuk flip-flops over two years ago in Florida when I went on vacation. My feet were killing me from wearing my regular flip-flops, so I went to the stores and found them. I walked for miles in these. I just purchased two more and will come back for more colors. They are the most comfortable flip-flops I have ever, ever, ever worn. I'm going to Florida in April and will be bringing them again so I can walk for miles and miles without my feet hurting. Get them, you won't regret it!!!" —magdalena alos

"These are my favorite. As a Southern Californian, I wear flip-flops year-round. The last pair of Sanuk Yoga Mat flip-flops I bought lasted through almost three years of constant wear (they were basically the only shoes I wore for three years, so I'm serious when I say constant). They're comfortable enough to wear for a day at Disneyland, even with arthritic joints." —beth

Get them from Amazon for $24.95+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in 10 styles).

11. A pair of ultra-stylish Serene sandals to elevate your fits without sacrificing comfort. These have three adjustable straps (bye-bye blisters!) and are designed to survive heavy rain and dunks in water.

Portland Gear

Portland Gear is all about making water-resistant bags and accessories, so if you're like me and somehow ALWAYS get your shoes wet (and sometimes even your bags), their products are designed to air dry naturally so you can keep on with your day no matter how drenched you get!

Y'all, I keep reaching for these over my beloved Birks. They're THAT comfortable. And I had two other moms ask at the soccer game where I got mine, so I count that as a fashion WIN.

Get them from Portland Gear for $129 (available in women's sizes 6.5–15.5, men's sizes 5–14, and three colors).

12. Some supportive Brooks running shoes reviewers swear are ready to go right out of the box, so say goodbye to one or two uncomfortable shifts to break them in and hello to shoes that feel like a workplace victory the very first time you put them on.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Very, very great shoe. I have very low arches, and these shoes made my feet hurt less after a long day shift at work." —Barbara Johnson

"Nurse-approved! My wife swears by these shoes for work. The cushioning and support make a world of difference after 10 hours on her feet. Worth every penny." —Mark in Memphis

Get them from Amazon for $118+ (available in sizes 5–13, in narrow, wide, and extra-wide sizes, and 32 colors/styles).

13. Some classic Mary Janes, because our ancestors would be proud to see that their shoe silhouettes still don't miss. If it was good enough for the suffragettes, it's good enough for me and my workday, thanks.

Promising reviews: "I ordered these shoes for a very important event. They were true to fit and extremely comfortable. I worked them for 8-plus hours, and it felt like I was wearing sneakers. I will definitely order more of these in different colors. Definitely recommend." —Tennille

"These shoes are GREAT for work walking. I walk a lot at work, but I don’t like how flats look with dresses/suits. These are comfortable and polished-looking. For the price, they’re a steal!" —Lisa M. Toy

Get them from Amazon for $32.39+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 14 colors/styles).

14. Some Dr. Scholl's sneakers if clouds were legally obligated to pay rent on your arches. Give yourself the gift of fashion and miles and miles of comfort all wrapped in one quiet-luxe-looking shoe.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "Walking on clouds. These shoes are wildly comfortable. I mainly use these while working in the hospital. I'm on my feet most of the day (12-hour-plus shifts), but experience very little leg fatigue wearing these. The quality is great. The style is super cute, and I love the solid upper leather. I've also worn these on long walks, and they're incredibly comfortable. The value for the money is great! I highly recommend!" —Courtney

Get them from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in sizes 4–13, in wide and extra-wide sizes, and 42 styles).

15. Some stretchy, sock-style block-heel ankle boots so you can have all the fashion and comfort of a boot without having to try and get it up over your calves. Plus, they have a STAR-SHAPED TREAD on the bottom, which is just a delightful touch of whimsy every shoe ought to have to get you through your work schedule.

Promising review: "You know when you get new shoes and you need to break them in? Not with these puppies. The first day I wore them, I was like, 'Wow, these are so comfortable.' I wore them the whole day and was even able to go to a party with them with no issue. I wear them to work (a job where I’m up all the time and even have to run sometimes), and I have never had any tears or breakage. It’s easy to get marks on them, but it’s also super easy to clean. Also, I’m already going to get another pair. I already have white, and next is black. So if you’re looking for a good shoe, this is it." —IT

Get them from Amazon for $28.49+ (available in sizes 5.5–11 and 12 colors).

16. A pair of platform Crocs sandals everyone is going to ask about, because not only are they oh-so stylish, but they're also SUPREMELY comfy. Yes, you're going to have to say, "They are really Crocs," 700 times. Yes, it's still worth it.

Promising review: "I have tried a few different sandals like these. None of them compare to these! I LOVE them. They are super comfortable**. I wear them to the office and to go out, and they go with either style.** I get so many compliments on them. You will not regret buying these shoes. I love that they are adjustable. They are super durable. I walk outside a lot for my job because our offices are across parking lots, and there is literally no wear on them yet. My feet feel supported, which is not always the case for sandals. I did get blisters the first time I wore them on my pinky toe — it was a much busier day than I expected, and I did a lot of fast walking and moving. I have not had any issues since!" —Mary Kate Purcell

Get them from Amazon for $39.50+ (available in sizes 2–11 and 21 colors/patterns).

17. Some slip-on loafers to help your feet stay cushy and professional, no matter what you've got on your walking agenda for the day.

I have to do lots of walking to get to meetings, and this shoe was perfect. I looked good, the shoe is stylish, and made for walking. Looking for summer colors now." —Gloria Kindle Customer

Get them from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in sizes 5.5–15, including wide sizes, and 17 styles).

18. Some knit ballet flats so your outfit can be ~on pointe~ in your OOTD without having to step foot in a barre class.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I’m not usually a flats girly. These are great! They have a form of memory foam on the bottom, so I found them to be great for long days. I wore these on a recent work trip, and I was on my feet for 10 hours on one of the days, and they didn’t hurt at all! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a cute and comfortable flat. I also feel the material is breathable on your feet." —Lina

Get them from Amazon for $32.99 (available in sizes 6–10 and 14 styles).

19. Some demure and cutesy lace ribbon sneakers to add a touch of fanciful fun to any day. (But without hurting your I'd-rather-be-home-in-slipppers toesies.)

20. Some hardy Blundstone Chelsea boots your PNW friend would assure you are 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?

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I work in film and I needed a sturdy, but lightweight boot I could wear while working 12-plus hours on set, but that I'd still feel myself in. I was originally looking at Docs, but they’re so heavy. I got these Blundstones and instantly fell in love!! They are a bit big as I’m between sizes, but I put an insole in and it fixed that immediately. I’m taking them hiking this week to test them further. So far, I highly recommend them!!" —Kendyl C.

Get them from Amazon for $157.46+ (available in sizes 6–11 and seven colors).

21. A sophisticated Sam Edelman loafer for all those days when you want to ~elevate~ your outfit, but without making your heels suffer in the process.

Promising reviews: "Like a cloud. ☁️ These are the most comfortable shoes I have worn; they feel like a pillow hugging your foot. The same day they were delivered, I ordered another pair in a different color. I’m a healthcare worker, and these are perfect for standing and being on your feet a lot. Walking feels very smooth and low-impact. I never leave reviews on anything, but these are amazing." —Ian Durham

"As someone who owns a pair of Hokas, in my opinion, these are better. I have plantar fasciitis and work in a hospital. Believe me when I say this, I HAVE ZERO FOOT PAIN when I'm wearing these! For half the price and comfort, I will 100% recommend these to anyone." —Jennifer Emilien

Get them from Amazon for $63.89+ (available in sizes 6–11 and seven colors).

Promising reviews: "I love these shoes! The support is better than I could’ve imagined! I work as an elementary educator with concrete/hard tile floors and am on my feet nearly all day long. These shoes give me all the support my arches and back need. Plus, they are more professional-looking than my nice tennis shoes. I can dress them up or down with ease, and this black style looks cute (for me) with low, ankle, or longer socks." —Jade Milbrandt

"These shoes were recommended as comfortable walking shoes. They absolutely are the best! I bought these shoes to have a stylish, casual shoe for an NYC/DC seven-day tour. I walked an average of 7-to-8 miles a day, even in a downpour. Not a single blister or pain of any kind. If you are searching for stylish, casual, and comfortable, then these are it. Easy on and off, water-resistant, and coordinates with all outfits." —S. Lee

"I'm a big Chacos girl, so I love a good comfy sandal, and these are one of my new favorites! They are cute enough that I can wear them to work and dress them up, and comfy enough that I can wear them all day/walk in them. Honestly, they are a lot more comfy than they look. I'd wear these sandals every day if I could!" —zvaupel

Get them from Amazon for $43.80+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 34 colors/styles).

26. Some Totes clogs perfect for outdoor work where you want to be comfortable and clean and dry.

Promising review: "They're very comfortable and fit me very well. It's a good quality clog. On my job, I am always on the go, and the clog did not hurt my feet at all. I was very surprised. Inside, the clog has these little things in them, it feels like it's massaging your feet." —NY

Get them from Totes for $42 (available in sizes 6–11 and four colors/patterns).

Promising reviews: "LOVE these. So comfortable and absolutely adorable. I’ve gotten so many compliments, and I kid you not, they’re amazingly light and supportive. I’m on my feet quite a bit with my job and even spent a day running all around NYC in these babies. No complaints at all. They seemed a little snug in the toe when I first put them on, but after wearing them for a day, they are perfect and don’t feel tight anywhere." —sydney e

"I wore these for a year working at an upscale restaurant in Dallas, TX. I was constantly given compliments on how cute these platform Oxford-style shoes were.

Amazon

Promising review: "I work at a restaurant, so I'm required to stand 7-and-a-half hours per day, and they are perfect to alleviate any pain or discomfort. They are also sponge-like, but still supportive. Buy them, you won't regret it. I bought one pair for my mom because she always complained about how her shoes made her feet hurt. She's a nurse, and she loves them. The only downside for me is that they're not nonslip." —Her Story

Get them from Amazon for $34.95+ (available in sizes 5–13, including narrow, wide, and extra-wide sizes, and 26 colors).

30. A highly reviewed pair of memory foam cork sandals so you can get that Super Popular Nature-Sandal look, for less than half the price! Which also means you can pick, like, FOUR DIFFERENT COLORS for the price of one pair from "that brand." You're welcome.

They look just like Birkenstocks, but for a fraction of the price! I sized up to a size 9.5 (I’m normally a size 9) because the reviews were mixed, and I’m so glad I did. The fit is perfect. The heel cushion makes them incredibly comfortable. I can already tell I’ll be living in these all summer long. Don’t hesitate on these, seriously!" —Daniela K.

Get them from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 22 colors).
