“I bought these shoes before leaving on a trip where I would do a lot of walking. I was nervous going out for a day on vacation where I would be walking close to 10 miles in new shoes, but lo and behold these shoes were amazing! They are so incredibly comfortable! Added bonus is they are super cute too! Can’t say enough good things about these!” — Jennifer C.

“LOVE THESE FLIP-FLOPS! I have Clarks boots and always thought they were one of the most comfortable pairs of boots I’ve owned. When I saw they made flip-flops I used the try before you buy feature and wasted no time buying them. They are soooo comfortable. We have tile and hardwood floors and if I’m not wearing good shoes, the pads of my feet and ankles hurt by the end of the day. These are like walking on pillows without being bulky (just good soles) and they fit my feet like a glove. Just ordered me another pair.” — Bonnie Wagaman

Promising review: “Great boots at a great price! I moved to Mexico City and needed cute and comfortable boots for everyday walking. I was hesitant about ordering boots online but I am so glad I bought these. They are comfortable and do not pinch or rub any part of my foot/toes/ankles. I have these in brown and black. Definitely happy with them!!” — Julia Alvarez

I cannot say enough wonderful things about these sandals. They required ZERO break-in time and were ready for long-term wear right out of the box. For a hiking sandal, I think they still look sleek enough to pair with a casual sundress, and they keep my feet cool while still managing to put an actually supportive sole between my feet and the sidewalk. I’ve worn them constantly for three years now and they still look perfect.

Available in sizes 5–11 and in five colors.

“So comfortable and didn’t need any ‘breaking in’ time. I went back to work after a year of wearing trainers so I needed something comfy, stylish, and versatile, and this one ticks all the boxes.” — Kavita D

Promising review:

“These shoes are pretty much the fanciest ones I’ve worn since the pandemic started — I’m usually in slippers, flip-flops, or sneakers. And I have to say — these are just as comfy as any of those. I’ve probably owned 50 pairs of ballet flats over the years, and I’d rank these right up there with shoes that cost three or four times as much. They fit perfectly (I love that they come in wide!) and are so comfortable to wear, even if you’re doing lots of walking. Even though they’re not leather, they do have some give to them. I’m so glad I bought multiple colors and will probably buy more!” —CaliGirl89

“I ordered my sandals for at-home try-on, and they shipped very fast even when I had to exchange for a different size. They are constructed beautifully. They seem delicate but are well made and I feel comfortable walking around in them all day for work.” — Neely G.

Promising review:

“I got these boots right before leaving on a three-week vacation to Scotland and London. I didn’t want to bring big heavy boots in my bag so I got these. They are pretty lightweight and very comfortable. I put an insole in to help with the cobblestone streets but Iwas able to wear them comfortably through long days of walking. They definitely have a chemical smell when you first open them up but it has worn off by now.” — epop86

Available in sizes 5–9.5 and in eight colors.

Promising review:

“I bought these boots for a trip to London and Dublin. Knowing there would be lots of rain, I needed something to keep my feet dry. I was concerned about the comfort of wearing a rain boot. These boots did not disappoint. They were actually so much more comfortable than I could have imagined. They didn’t rub like some of the booties do. We walked 10 miles a day, right out to package. No blisters or discomfort. I would recommend them to anyone. You must wear socks with them, so plan for sizing accordingly. I logged 40K steps in these boots and now use them as daily barn boots. Great price and great product, cute too.” — Kindle customer

Promising review: “I normally don’t like wearing tennis shoes all day because my feet tend to sweat in them, then swell when I take them off. These are the best brand of tennis shoes I have ever owned.They feel wonderful on my arthritic feet, and my feet breathe in them all day, so they never sweat and don’t swell up when I take them off. I bought a second pair in white. Well worth the money. All my other tennis shoes are going to Goodwill.” — SBoo

Promising review:

“Thought the shoes were cute and read raving reviews, so I bought them. Wow! Sooo cute and extremely comfortable! I’m so excited about these! It feels like you’re walking on a cloud and I cannot believe the price I paid for them. Amazing deal. Highly recommend! I bought my size, an 8, and they fit perfectly. They are not too narrow and they definitely don’t look like ‘clown shoes’ as someone mentioned. Adorable 10/10!” — Talia

“If I could I’d give these sandals 10 stars! There’s no breaking-in period with these, they’re so comfy from the very start. I spend most of the day on my feet at work and with these, I don’t feel any discomfort whatsoever! The best thing is they’re so pretty! I love these shoes!” — Veronica Diaz

Promising review:

“I bought these shoes on Amazon after finding them on a different site for $40 more. I’ve been wearing them every day for a week. I live in NYC and I walk A LOT. They are mostly really comfortable. Breaking them in, the toes area can feel a little tight. But I really love them and I can tell they’ll get more and more comfortable as I wear them! Update 12/2020: I still have these shoes after wearing them nearly every day in fall and winter for two years. They need to be replaced now but they have served me well!” — S Marshall

Promising review: “It’s true these are more comfortable than Birkenstocks. I will be buying more of these they are extremely comfortable right out of the box, unlike Birkenstocks that take several weeks to break in. The footbed is soft and cushy; even on your heels it has a cushion. I do not know if they will last as long in Birkenstocks but for the price you can’t beat it.” — Ashley

“I needed a pair of dressy shoes to wear with my suits on days when I have to walk a lot. These shoes look sharp and they are so comfortable. I can walk all day in these and guess what, they look great with jeans too! I feel like I have a spring in my step when I’m walking in these and I get so many compliments. I am ecstatic with this purchase. They fit perfect too which I was a bit worried about.” — Jane Jernigan

“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 Green

: “Planned a last-minute international beach trip and assumed that my trip would be spent in flip-flops. Nope. These I purchased at the last minute as a backup and they worked miracles. They fit my wide feet (one is wider than the other and both fit with the stretchy straps), they were comfortable, and I wore them seven times in seven days. Great arch support. Simply felt great. I will buy every other color and they will be my go-to all summer! Also, I stopped wearing heels a couple of years ago due to ankle challenges and the small heel on these is no problem.” — Lisa

Sometimes it feels like my feet are made of paper with how easily they blister. 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. A statement shoe that really does look and feel great?
