"These are super comfortable and very cute. I cannot wait to wear all my white dresses and white T-shirt and shorts — they will truly go with so much. As much as I also love all my sneakers, these are a great alternative that is a bit more elevated." —MEGANRENE

Get them from Nordstrom Rack for $59.97 (originally $79.95; available in sizes 5–11 and three colors).

Get them from Nordstrom for $59.99 (originally $89; available in sizes 5–11 and in natural).

Promising review: "It's the second time I purchased these flats, not because they're defective but because I wore them SO MUCH I needed a new pair! I bought the black and brown, and two of each in case they ever stop making these. Not only are they comfortable, but they literally go with every outfit. I wear them with pants, dresses, skirts, you name it." —chellebelle127

Note: These kicks run large. Nike suggests ordering a half-size down.

Promising review: "Obsessed! I had been eyeing these for a while, but wasn’t sure if I’d like them since the soles seemed too chunky to me. I finally caved and bought them while I was on a trip and fell in love as soon as I opened the box. They looked good when I tried them on; however, they do run about half a size too big. I walked around Boston for a few days, and if you’ve been to Boston, you know you park and walk everywhere. They also weren’t too narrow, and I have wider feet. They did have a SLIGHT 'leather' squeak for the first few weeks, but for the looks, comfort, and price, it’s easy to deal with. I typically don’t have issues with Nike shoes, so this one didn’t stand out for me. I also wear Nike shoes every day and apparel often, whether it be for the gym or just everyday clothing." —bperkss

Get them from Nike for $115+ (available in sizes 5–12 and two colors, plus a customizable option).

Promising review: "The fit and the comfort are terrific! They fit true to size but have to be careful to keep the suede clean." —Rsalty

Get them from DSW for $69.99 (originally $85; available in sizes 6–11).

Macarena Collection is a small biz based in Buena Park, California! Since they only make whole sizes, they suggest sizing down if you're in between sizes, as the shoes will stretch and mold to your feet as you wear them.

Promising review: "These are honestly my favorite huaraches. I wear them daily. I’ve gone through two pairs, making these my third ones. I get complimented daily and they’re comfortable." —Mayra

Get them from Macarena Collection on Etsy for $56.24 (originally $74.99; available in sizes 5–10).

Ma'am Shoes is a woman-owned small biz that makes shoes with a focus on comfort, style, and sustainability. 

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Danielle Healy LOVES these shoes: "Sometimes it feels like my feet are made of paper with how easily they blister. So when a brand markets itself as focused 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? *Big swoon.*"

Get them from Ma’am Shoes for $150+ (available in sizes 4.5–11 and five colors).

Get them from Famous Footwear for $49.99+ (originally $58.99+; available in sizes 5–12 and five colors).

Get them from Dr. Martens for $100 (available in sizes 5–11).  

Promising review: "I was so excited to find this shoe here on Everlane's site. I have been looking at similar styles from high-end, Italian-crafted brands, and was actually thinking I would need to purchase used to get the quality I was looking for at a price I can afford. However, when this little Farro boat shoe arrived, I was SO excited. The leather is GOOD. The stitching and overall quality look good, too, and I appreciate the comfort of the rubber sole. I'm a size 7.5, but sometimes I'm a 'big' 7.5, if that makes sense. Another reviewer recommended sizing up, so I did. The size 8 is roomy, but not too large. My toes reach the end of the shoe, so I'm happy with the fit. Highly recommend this shoe if you're looking for a classic boat shoe. I'm wearing right now with my Everlane cheeky jeans!"  —Emily A.

Promising review: "I love these shoes. I’m in Florida and tend to wear flip-flops everywhere. I needed something for everyday use that was a tad dressy but comfortable. These are it! Even way cuter and more comfortable than I thought they’d be. Super happy and picking out my next pair."  —Misti J.
