Promising review: "Love these shoes! It's hard to find a fun and pretty pair of shoes that aren't too tall, aren't hard to walk in and don't hurt - but I did! I am excited to wear these to my son's wedding this summer." —LindaLJ

Promising review: "These were the most adorable flat mesh pointy toe flats. You can dress them up or down. True to size. Slip-resistant. While they don’t have an arch support, they are so comfortable. I bought them for my mom, but we wear the same size, and we both have bunions. I wanted to test them out for her, and hands down, they are so comfortable." —amanda saeed

Promising reviews: "Not only so cute but so comfortable. I’ll be getting more colors." —bpatel

"I love this shoe so much! It is the perfect platform, because it is comfortable and the heel drop isn't too high, so you get the height without the pain! I am usually a 7–7.5 shoe, and I took a 38 in this style. It isn't super tight but also not too loose around the toe box (some other reviews mention it's very loose). I feel it is secure enough! I don't like when they are super tight. I have a narrow foot with a slightly wide toe box. Definitely recommend this shoe!" —Anonymous

Get it from Anthropologie for $168 (available in sizes 5–10.5 and eight colors).

Promising review: "I bought these shoes for a wedding — wow, were they comfortable! I lasted six hours in them on the first wear, and I don’t wear heels often! They are really beautiful on the foot. Very minimal lines, but so pretty and feminine! Thrilled with the purchase." —Han07

Get it from J.Crew for $168 (available in sizes 5–12 and black).

Promising reviews: "Love these shoes. Cute and comfortable! Bought to wear to a wedding and received many compliments. Fit true to size. I can't wear heels anymore, and they made me feel sexy." —Cake Lady

"I bought the black satin slings, wear a true size 8, and have a WIDE foot. Pointy-toed shoes and wide feet do not normally mesh, but I must say these fit perfectly. The jeweled strap across the top fits slightly loose and has elastic on the inside edge. The ankle strap is adjustable and has elastic for a comfy feel (see the pictures). I love a dressy shoe but prefer flats, and this shoe gives both with a non-skid bottom. I have only walked inside, but they feel comfortable and have a classy look. How cute… they included a small bag with a couple of extra stones!! These are a win-win for me." —Audrey

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes 6–11, three styles, and 11 colors).

Promising review: "I love these shoes! Just wore them to a very long graduation, and my feet didn't hurt at all. Perfect heel height and straps fit snugly but not too tightly. I did size down from a normal 7 to 6.5." —Trudy

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes 6–11, four styles, and 15 colors).

Promising review: "I recently bought these, and I have worn them once and received so many compliments. They are comfortable and stylish and can be dressed up or down. I am glad I added them to my wardrobe." —Peonies4

Get it from DSW for $64.99 (originally $120; available in sizes 5–10 and a wide fit).

Get it from Quince for $68 (available in sizes 5–10 and four colors).

Promising review: "These shoes are even more beautiful in person! The woven texture is surprisingly comfortable and felt amazing right out of the box. This is the perfect shoe to add interest to any spring or summer outfit." —KNThar

Get it from Sam Edelman for $140 (available in sizes 5–12, wide fits, and five colors).

Get it from Target for $45 (available in sizes 6–11).

Promising review: "Really like these, they are cute, and MOST IMPORTANTLY THEY ARE COMFORTABLE!! I don't wear heels, if ever, so as you can see, I've bought four different heels: two from Target, size 8, and the other two from Amazon, size 8.5, and all but this one hurt the hell out of my feet. Idk if I was buying the wrong size, but I just have to return them. Tried these and they are nice, velvety, and wide enough for my foot to widen so I can walk properly. I'm thinking about buying another color." —Rachel

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and 11 colors/prints).

Promising review: "Never knew about this brand before, so with very low expectations on a whim I bought these sandals... To my surprise, they are super comfy, for the heel shape and the little ball in front. My feet are not on the slim side, so if it doesn't bother me, I bet nobody else will complain :)" —WikiBlue

Promising review: "I can’t wear high heels anymore, but that hasn’t taken away my love for gorgeous shoes. I’m so sick of only seeing high heels on the prettiest shoes, and then I saw these. They are sculpturally just beautiful. Another bonus is that they are so comfy, like slippers, and I wore them for hours without discomfort." —Sonja

Get it from Amazon for $71.20+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 10 colors).

Promising reviews: "SO CUTEEEEE. I have big, wide feet, and they are amazing. They seem comfy so far. So bougie.😍" —Greta

"I absolutely love these shoes. They look exactly like the picture and are very elegant. The kitten heel is the perfect height — it adds a classy touch without being too high, so I can wear them for hours without my feet hurting.

"The sizing was accurate (I ordered my usual size), and the material feels good for the price. They’re perfect for work, formal events, or even a nice dinner out.

"I would definitely buy them again and highly recommend them if you’re looking for something classic, comfortable, and stylish. ✨" —IsabelC

Promising review: "Bought these for a formal event. The packaging is so nice, but the heels are a dream. They look even better in person! Fantastic quality, they fit well, and are comfortable. I’ll be wearing these with a gown, but they will also look great dressed down with a pair of jeans! I’m very pleased with my purchase!" —MadelineMarie

Get it from Dolce Vita for $99.90 (originally $125; available in sizes 5–13 and five colors).

Promising review: "Oh my goodness! These are the cutest, most comfortable shoes that I’ve worn! Some friends took me out for lunch for my birthday. This ended up with them taking me to a 60th surprise party that evening. I was in those shoes for 10+ hours, and they NEVER hurt my feet! Best shoes ever! I got so many compliments! I wear a size 8, and they fit me perfectly. I think the strap that goes around the ankle just holds the shoes on, but isn’t tight! I definitely recommend these!!!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $40.84+ (available in sizes 6–11, two styles, and eight colors).

Promising review: "I purchased these for my daughter's wedding. They look so nice with my dress, and they are just the right height heel." —Sue o

Get it from DSW for $89.99 (available in sizes 4–13 and seven colors).

Get it from Nordstrom for $104.99 (originally $134.95; available in sizes 6–10).

Promising review: "These shoes are super cute — getting lots of compliments! I wasn’t sure if I should get the wide or the regular, as pointy-toed shoes can be very narrow, so I bought both. I generally wear a size seven medium. I felt like the wide was a little more comfortable; however, the medium size also fit fine, and had some give to it, so I decided to keep both." —AMB

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes 5–12, wide fits, and 10 colors).

Get it from Zappos for $198 (available in sizes 5–10 and clear).

Promising review: "I was worried that it would look very plastic and rubbery, because I wanted a pair of simple, dressy, and comfortable shoes that can be dressed up and down, also rainy weather friendly. All the leather ones are either $100 or very thin, stiff, cheap soles. This is so perfect, I have white and black, and I feel comfortable wearing them to parties with long black dresses. Very happy!" —GRACie

Get it from Zappos for $31.99+ (originally $39.95+; available in sizes 4–11 and eight colors).
