Not only do these shoes look amazing, but they feel amazing as well! I was in them not only during the reception, but the ceremony as well.

Promising review: "I walk a lot. I'm on my feet a lot, and I'm in my 60s. It's really hard to find comfortable walking shoes. Most do not hold up to their claims in my opinion. I now own two pairs of these. I walk an average of 3–5 miles a day and spend a lot of time working in my flower beds. I wear them for an average of 12 hours a day. These have held up really well to the work I put them through, and they are so comfortable. Highly recommended!" —PNGet it from Amazon for $40.10+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 12 colors).

A soft rubber sole slipper so you can enjoy the warm, cozy feeling of socks with the protection and grip of a traditional slipper.
Promising review: "Hard to find a woman's slipper that isn't too frilly, fluffy, puffy and has a back on it. These fit like a glove. Love the nonskid sole seems durable. It's the best slipper I've owned. Buying as Xmas gifts for everyone this year! They are so comfortable and warm. If I want a slip-on it converts to that. But as a woman, I find that most slippers either look like bedtime Uggs, slide off the feet, or have fur everywhere. These are amazing. Don't hesitate. I bought smaller than my size because my slippers tend to stretch out and then flop around. These are snug, but they are so soft it doesn't bother me." —JodiGet it from Amazon for $15.74+ (available in women's sizes 4.5–13, men's sizes 3–11, and 23 colors).

Walked two miles in them on vacation, no complaints. ran through a lightning storm in them, NO COMPLAINTS!! I would run a marathon in these if I needed to. Ankle strap is comfortable and stretches enough to put my foot in but fits just right to hold the shoe on comfortably. The two foot straps don't stretch, but aren't too tight.

Promising review: "I did not expect this to be so comfortable and cushion support. It was like walking on clouds for sure. This is a true to size shoe for sure. Ordered these for hike walks and trail biking to see how comfy indeed it was. Little snug on the entry since it doesn't have a tongue like opening, it is a sock like entry but good. To start I have the black ones but will look to order more colors. Name brands should look into this style of comfort... Or maybe link up to expand product lines. GREAT PRODUCT THANK YOU." —nessynpookGet it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes 5.5–10.5 and 21 colors).

A pair of low wedge flats, because finding shoes that accommodate wide feet can be tricky — throwing a high arch into the mix can make things even trickier! I personally have wide feet with a high arch, and I always recommend a roomy shoe with just a liiiiiittle bit of wedge for extra support!

A pair of chunky sandals for helping you release your inner Daria. These are perfect for anyone who wants to serve '90s vibes but needs something less intricate to emulate the decade. These shoes are super simple to throw on and add an immediate edgy (and cute!) touch to your 'fit.
Promising review: "These shoes are a very cool closet staple to have and reasonable price! There is not a ton of stretch to the strappy part which I like so my foot isn't sliding too far forward when I walk. If you have wider feet, I would recommend going a size up? Although it's listed to be memory foam, it's not that cushion-y, but does mold to the shape of your sole/heel the more you wear them. The only con is that the bottom of the shoe can be slippery on bare floors or tile so tread carefully. I went outside and shuffled the sandals a few times on the sidewalk to help these shoes have more grip. Alternative is to spray the bottom or buy grip stickers for the bottoms." —N. PaulGet it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes 6–11 and also in taupe).

Feels like you can jump and bounce around. They made a difference wearing them compared to any other footwear. I've gotten lots of compliments, and they look great, which is such a plus. Usually, comfortable loafers don't look stylish, not with these loafers." —Ms. RizzoGet it from Amazon for $55+ (available in sizes 6–11, including wide fits, and in two colors).

Promising review: "If you'd like to add 3 inches to your height without the dangers of toppling over, you've got to try these platform sandals!

A cute pair of boat shoes that *feel* like sneakers while helping you nail your coastal grandma aesthetic.
Promising review: "These shoes are amazingly lightweight, even though the soles are very robust. The tread has a deep grip but tapers off on the side for a more classic deck-shoe look. They came with both white and tan shoestrings, so I guess that switching to white would add more contrast. The red fabric uppers have blue undertones which look great with jeans. Nice contrast stitching. The vamp is medium-high, soft, and flexible. Did I mention comfortable? Plenty of toe room and support all around the foot. Arch support is better than most shoes of this style. Overall, a great shoe at a good price." —AvidReaderGet it from Amazon for $25.97+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and three colors).

Promising review: "These shoes are so comfy, lightweight, and have a great sole (probably great soul, too). They have excellent arch support. I wear 8.5 but found the size 9 a good fit as well. Sketchers makes a super product, and these shoes are no exception." —S. JonesGet them from Amazon for $34.97+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide fits, and in 12 colors).
