Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women’s. 1. A trendy, lightweight pair of New Balance 608 V5 Cross Trainers that amazed a reviewer with how well they carried them through a full day at Disneyland — and we all know that's the true test of comfort for any pair of shoes. They're made with minimal interior seaming and are lined with supportive foam inserts so that your feet can kiss those painful blisters and midday discomfort goodbye. Promising reviews: "These shoes are super comfortable and supportive. I used to play pickleball on hard court surfaces with tennis shoes with little padding. I developed sore feet which had a term — plantar fasciitis!! These New Balance tennis shoes with thick memory foam inserts saved the day! I can keep playing the game I love and my foot pain is nearly gone! Best tennis shoes ever! And they come in wide too, which makes the fit perfect!!!" —Library "I love these! They are the perfect dad sneakers and super in style! I love the blue color as well. They’re comfortable, great quality, and they provide a lot of support. They’re true to size as well." —Stephanie Russell Get them from Amazon for $59.98+ (available in sizes 5–12, including narrow and wide sizes, and three styles). 2. Or some Nortiv 8 walking shoes — whether you're roaming a European city or just looking to squeeze in some cardio, their foam footbed and light, plush design will make you feel like you're floating instead of letting your poor little feet feel the effects of the long miles you've walked so far. (And it's only noon!) Plus, they're designed with pillowy comfort and bold color combos that let them disguise themselves as Hokas. 😉 Promising review: "GREAT SHOE! Go buy these! Listen up, folks. I bought these based on the good reviews and hoping they could be a good, less expensive version of Hokas. I wasn’t expecting them to be on the same level as Hokas, boy, what an understatement! These shoes are as good as (or better!) than my $150 Hokas. Do yourself a favor if you’re a Hoka fan….get these instead. They fit true to size and are great for my 6–8 mile fitness walks. At 62 years old, I need shoes that are super comfortable for the long walks, and these shoes completely fit the bill. I would give these an 11 out of 10 if I could. No brainer." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in sizes 6–11 and seven colors). 3. A pair of Cushionaire sandals that many reviewers say are a *wonderful* alternative to Birkenstocks. Their cork footbed quickly adjusts to the contour of your foot *and* they're designed with soft lining and adjustable straps (which you'll really appreciate two hours into that walking tour 🫠). The comfort of a tennis shoe combined with the effortlessness of a sandal? Yes, please. I spent three weeks traveling through eight different European cities and let me tell you — bringing these sandals with me was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made. My most worn pair of shoes during my trip, hands down. The reasons I was on the hunt for comfy sandals were 1. I didn't want my feet enclosed all day while trekking the whole city in warm weather and 2. Some outfits simply pair better with sandals. I hiked up to the Acropolis of Athens in these babies, and that stone floor was slippery. And still, out of my group of 11 family members and friends, I was the first one to make it to the top (and yes, I did brag). I even told two of my friends that went with me to get these for the trip, and they were eternally grateful for my rec. Promising review: "As someone who owns several pairs of Birks, these sandals are absolutely up to the expectations of real Birks! The Birks I have are the Arizona soft footbed. I wanted this style of Birks but I couldn’t find the soft footbed version in them. I saw these and thought I might as well try them for the price. Let me tell you, these are even comfier than my soft-footbed Arizona Birks! Omg, they feel amazing. They are nice and padded! They are so adorable, too! Great quality." —Lee Get it from Amazon for$34.99 (available in women's sizes 5–12, two widths, and 20 colors). 4. Lug-sole Dr. Martens Rometty boots — even if you're the sundress-wearing friend in the group, these babies are sure to give you some edge. With a classic look and a comfy platform, you have the freedom to wear these to breakfast for an early start to the day *and* on a tour of the city. Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Brittany Ross says about them: "I bought these boots last year and they quickly became the ones I reach for whenever I'm not wearing sneakers. They're SO comfortable (I've worn them walking around both NYC and Europe for hours on end), and that bit of extra height makes 5' tall me feel like I can take on the world. They're also ridiculously cute and worth every cent of what they cost, thanks to their durability and versatility. I've worn them in the rain and never once worried about slipping! Best of all, they look great with a casual jeans look or gussied up with a slip skirt, which I've paired them with on many occasions. I know they'll last me a long time, but I'm already certain I won't hesitate to buy a replacement pair when they finally give out. 10/10, buy them! Oh, and FYI, they run a little big, so consider sizing down!" Promising review: "I have been wearing Docs for years now, and this pair has to take first place for comfort. They're incredibly cute and versatile, can be dressed up or down, and just like any other pair are faithfully durable. Docs always run big so I sized a full size down and still comfortably wear them with thin-thick socks. I brought them on a long trip, wore them in various weather conditions like rain/snow/forest trails, and they worked great." —Stacy Cruz Get them from Amazon for $114.67+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in two colors). 5. And some absurdly cheap yet cute waterproof Chelsea boots, because I think we both know you're way past letting a rainy destination ruin your trip (or your outfit)! These will allow you to splash around in slushy puddles all you want without any worry of getting a dreadful wet sock. Promising review: "I live in the desert and noticed our upcoming trip to London had rain in the forecast nearly every day. I didn’t want to walk around in wet tennis shoes, and we were planning a trip with heavy walking. I have problems with plantar fasciitis, so I was skeptical, I usually buy expensive, supportive shoes. But I took a chance. These boots did not disappoint. I ended up wearing them every day in London. They were very comfortable, my feet stayed dry, they were super cute and the best part, ZERO foot pain. We walked a lot, 7–8 miles a day. I will put these in my closet for other rainy-day trips!" —volvomom Get them from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in sizes 5–13 and 15 colors). 6. Dr. Scholl's Time Off Sneaker that have managed to impress countless reviewers — from frequent travelers whofly for work to college students studying abroad. They're made with water-resistant faux leather *and* have ultra-flexible outsoles with extra grip and cushioning. And bonus! They're sustainably crafted from recycled material. I present to you: my holy grail travel sneakers. These bbs are so lightweight, you could probably set them on a balcony and a mere breeze would blow them away (okay, I'm not sure how accurate that actually is, but I swear I can't be far off). But don't let their cute 'n' casual look and light-as-a-feather weight fool you — these shoes mean BUSINESS. I've worn these on a three-hour tour of the Vatican, through the Colosseum, and finished the day off with a cobblestone-filled walk back to the hotel — and I felt like I was ~floating~ through it all. And that was just *one* day. They do scuff up a bit easily, but they're a breeze to clean. Nothing some handy-dandy shoe wipes can't handle! Trust me, the cloud-like comfort these shoes offer is 1,000% worth it. Promising review: "This is the review you need, I promise. Let me start by saying that once booking a 5-week study abroad trip to Italy, my search began for the perfect tennis shoe. These were the top-recommended shoe everywhere, so I took the leap. I wore these shoes almost every single day in Italy, averaging about 20,000+ steps per day without even breaking these shoes in and let me tell you, THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT. These shoes did not hurt my feet the ENTIRE trip, they were so comfortable and had amazing support. How easily they dirty was so irrelevant to me after how amazing they held up otherwise and how comfortable they were for me. Because of this, I would 100000% recommend these shoes to anyone who is traveling and walking a lot and needs a cute yet comfy shoe, or even as an everyday shoe. They are not super hard to clean but not necessarily easy either so just keep that in mind but the shoes held up amazing and went with all my outfits. I am so thankful I got them for my trip!" —Hannah Grella Get them from Amazon for $64.99+ (available in sizes 4–13 and in 41 colors). 7. Quick-drying, long-lasting Teva midform sandals, which are a must for any activity that doesn't require a closed toe. Whether you'll be trekking through the city or just walking from your hotel room to the pool, this quick-drying pair will keep you from feeling like you're walking on wet sponges, while the strap design ensures your feet stay put. FYI, aside from their style and comfort, Tevas are *known* for their durability — one reviewer said their first pair lasted for over 20 YEARS. This isn't your average sandal that falls apart after one season. Promising reviews: "These sandals are SO comfortable. I got them to wear on a trip to Hawaii, and they were the best thing I brought. Easy to walk in the sand, so commutable to walk on any terrain. You can wash them off if they get dirty. So cushy and soft. Velcro for easy walking and adjustments. Such a good sandal for a walking or beach trip. I can't wait to wear them this summer. They are so cute too!! The mid-height is the perfect height and can be dressed up or down. So cute with activewear or with a summer dress. Love!!" —natasha "My niece recommended Teva so I decided to give it a try, especially for an upcoming trip to the mountains. Yesterday, I was caught in a rainstorm and stepped into a stream of rainwater that was over my feet. My Tevas performed beautifully. They dried quickly, didn't slip in the water, and they also stayed perfectly on my feet. I like the adjustability of the straps in several places where you can fit it to your foot. I actually bought two pairs (different colors) of Tevas at the same time, and I am enjoying both of them! I highly recommend!" —J L Phillips Get them from Amazon for $44.38 (available in sizes 5–12 and so many colors/patterns/styles). 8. Some bestselling Adidas Cloudfoam sneakers with cloudfoam cushioning that has earned them over 28,600 5-star ratings. They'll be the two lil' clouds your feet need when it comes to a long walking day. And since they're super lightweight, you can also pack them without stress! Promising reviews: "They felt weird the first time I put them on…but as I started walking in them it got better! Usually my feet are killing me by the end of the day or I’m just super sweaty in my dress shoes, but these are like walking on a literal CLOUD ☁️ and they let my feet breathe!" —Alyssa "Literally the BEST shoes ever! So comfy. I spent a whole day at Disney with no complaints, normally I'm tired after two hours of walking in the park, but with these babies, I was up and walking alll day with no problem." —Katherine Get them from Amazon for $49.95+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 25 colors). 9. Some breathable pointed-toe flats that I can envision you wearing with cute linen shorts and a fitted tee while enjoying some gelato in Italy. They look and feel as high-quality as Rothy's or Vivaia, without having to spend the extra $70–$100. The stretchy knit upper is comfy and trendy-looking (office days just got a whole lot better!) and you can toss 'em in the wash before they even have the *chance* to get stinky. Promising reviews: "I have several pair of Rothy’s in a very similar style to these, and they are actually just as comfortable right out of the box as Rothy’s…maybe more so. I also purchased in black. LOVE THEM!!" —Amazon Customer "I couldn’t be happier with these flats! As a result of them dropping in price, I purchased four pairs in varying colors to wear with jeans and sweaters. Not only do they look cute, but they are also decently padded and comfortable. I have been buying Vivaia flats for over $100 and these look just as good and are more comfortable to wear." —PSK Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in women's sizes 6–10 and 14 colors and patterns). 10. Or floral ballet flats with adorable cutouts that aren't just for style, but for breathability! Plus, they're flexible as heck, so you can roll them right up to take on your next sunny getaway! Promising review: "These are a perfect fit and feel like I am slipping my feet into butter. They are airy and cool. I tested them out and vacuumed and mopped the house in them. No sweaty feet, no slipping on the wet floor. They can go with anything, Dress them up, formal wear, throw 'em on with cut off shorts and a tank top, a sundress, jeans and tee, any thing, even PJs. They are shoes to travel in, fly in, go to Disneyland in. They cover my whole foot and I don't have to worry about missing the pedicure lady. They don't pinch, they are well made, no threads or seams pinch or are stiff or give me pressure spots to cause blisters or soreness after hours of wear — it's like going barefoot. Get a little dirt on them, and they just wipe right off. I will definitely be buying another pair from this company. For the price, they are worth it." —hotmdc Get them from Amazon for $21.59+ (available in sizes 5–12 and in nine colors). 11. A pair of water-resistant Sam Edelman combat boots to accompany you as you strut around the city like you're a Cheetah Girl in Barcelona. With a soft sock panel and a sturdy leather structure, these boots combine comfort and style like no one's business. Promising review: "These boots are sooooo cute! I wore them walking around NY and loved them! I felt very comfortable. They have a good supportive stretch to the ankle and calf. Where have they been my whole life?" —Ben West Get them from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in sizes 5–12 and six colors). 12. A pair of quick-drying, lace-free sneakers you'll be glad you have if your destination is full of aquatic adventures! Not only will these keep your feet nice and dry, but they're also super breathable, have an anti-slip rubber sole, *and* have a pull tab at the heel that allows you to take them on and off super easily. Promising review: "I traveled to Belize for a girls trip. All six of us ordered this shoe. They are very supportive, comfortable, and protect your feet/toes. The shoes are lightweight, easy to pack, and also dried quickly. I also was never worried they were going to fall off because of the elastic adjustable strap. They were true to size for all of us. We used the shoes ATM Cave and Rio Frio Water Falls. It happens to rain a lot so we also wore them to ATV because the puddles were ankle deep on the ATV. I also wore them when in the ocean because the floor was rocky in some parts. I highly recommend purchasing these shoes." —Shawna Weiss Get them from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in sizes 6-11 and in 33 colors). 13. Or some lightweight Tioseban sneakers because they weigh basically nothing (buh-bye luggage weight fees👋) and are made of breathable mesh that'll keep your precious feet cool and sweat-free. Basically, if you want to combine the freedom of being barefoot with the support of a cushy sole, these are the shoes for you! Sizing up a half size if you have wide feet is recommended. Promising review: "I have purchased three different pairs of these shoes because of the color variety and the comfort! I’ve had my black and gray pair for 3+ years and I still wear them. When traveling overseas, I wanted something neutral to blend with everything I wore. First time wearing them was walking around Portugal walked 13,000 steps that day and they were perfect! I never had any rubbing or cuts on my feet from where they touch my ankles. As a slip on shoe, I never felt unsecured walking up inclines, cobblestones or stairs while traveling. This is my go to for a slip on shoe because of the color options & comfortability" —Bethany Get them from Amazon for $35.09+ (available in sizes 5–13, wide, and in 33 colors). 14. A pair of lightweight lug sole sandals that are giving *major* early 2000s Lizzie McGuire vibes, which means you're destined to be wearing them in Rome on a Vespa. Yeah... I'm gonna need these in every color (and there are a lot of them). 😍 Promising review: "I’ve worn these everywhere!! They are super comfy and lightweight, go with everything, and run true to size. I got them in white as well, and I’m obsessed. I’ve been to a concert in them, driven in them, and also, I went on vacation recently and walked all over the city, went out, and danced at bars. I’ve never had a pair of heels that are so comfy! Seriously so worth the money." —Courtney Wilson Get them from Amazon for $29.98 (available in sizes 5–12 and in 24 colors). 15. Super supportive, water-resistant Dr. Scholl's kicks — aka the new cushy pair of shoes you'll be reaching for when it's time to go to the airport. Since they're super easy to take on and off, TSA might just stop yelling at you as you try to make your way through security as quickly as possible. FYI: These are made from recycled bottles! Promising review: "I bought these shoes to wear on vacation to the Grand Canyon. I did a lot of walking on that trip, and my feet never hurt and I still looked cute. Then a few months later, we went to Durango, Colorado and did a ton of walking and again, my feet never hurt. I washed them and let them air dry several times over the next year and they came out great every time. They soon became my daily shoes to wear around the house. I have already bought a second pair to replace them so I can still look cute and be comfortable and wear the first pair when I water the garden. I would definitely recommend these shoes!" —J. Perkins Get them from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes 5–13, including wide sizes, and in 28 styles — not all styles available in all sizes). 16.

With these, you can keep the cute sneaker look sans the pesky laces! Plus, many reviewers say they're super comfy — even if your feet are on the wider side! Promising review: "This is now my go-to travel shoes. I first wore them on my vacation to Curacao and it was the perfect shoes for walking tour of Willemstad. I didn't get the chance to break them in before traveling but turns out I didn't need to. They are comfortable and doesn't rub the back of my foot which usually happens with shoes of this style. I wear them everywhere at this point and I will reorder for my next vacation as I have worn out the first pair." —Janjan Get it from Amazon for $25.30+ (available in sizes 5-11 and in 30 colors). 17. Or some classic slip-on sneaks — the pretty color options will catch your eye, but the breathable canvas material, padded insole, and stretchy fit are what will capture your heart. 😍 Reviewers also rave about how surprisingly easy they are to pack!

Get them from Amazon for $27.87+ (available in sizes 5.5–12, including select wide sizes, and 17 designs). 18. Huarache sandals that are 100% handmade and woven by Mexican artisans.

They also have a miraculous way of perfectly molding to your feet, meaning you'll spend little to no time breaking them in! Macarena Collection / Etsy 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.

Rachelle Yang / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping freelancer Rachelle Yang says about them: "I had these bbs for three years but had to say goodbye to them because it was finally their time to go. 🥲 I first got these shoes because I have very weak ankles and needed shoes that would support them, but these did waaaay more than that. The platforms were a lot comfier than I thought they were going to be, and I wore these EVERYWHERE.

I never had a moment when I felt uncomfy with these on, and besides all that, they're SO SO SO cute!!!"
