They’ve carried you through a lot this year, so it’s time to show your appreciation!

There’s nothing more annoying than a pair of shoes pinching, rubbing, or cutting into your skin, especially when you’re halfway through the day and you have to limp around until you can get home to change out of them. No more of that! If you’re done dealing with painful blisters and your toes feeling like they’re deprived of circulation, then welcome to this list of the absolute most comfortable shoes. And they’re not all sneakers, folks! We’ve scoured the internet for a wide range of comfy shoes, like loafers, heels, flats, boots, sandals, and more. Also, just because they’ve nailed the comfort aspect doesn’t mean they look orthopedic either. (No offense to orthopedic shoes though.) Shocking, I know, but there are some actually cute designs that aren’t out to cause harm to your feet.

Whether you’re staying indoors, strolling to the office, packing for an outdoorsy trip, or dressing up for a holiday party, we’ve got the 28 most comfortable—and stylish!—shoes for any occasion listed down below.

Dansko clogs are a fave among nurses, doctors, and really anyone whose job requires a LOT of standing. They come in tons of fun patterns and bold colors, and happen to look even more cute with socks. Oh, and they also have more than 19,000 ratings!!! 

A cute ankle boot that slips on and hugs your feet is one you definitely need to add to your rotation. No stiff material here! This popular Everlane style has more than 1,300 reviews and a 4.7-star rating out of 5. 

Birks are always a classic comfy shoe if you want something that’s no fuss, easy to slide on, and molds to your unique foot shape over time. They’ll last you a very long time too. 

This brand makes its shoes from natural materials, uses ethical factories and recycled packaging, and trees are planted with every purchase. The low-top style is one of the most popular and has almost 5,700 perfect 5-star reviews. Wowza! 

You can’t have a comfortable shoe roundup without including Rothy’s knit flats. Made with recycled materials, all its styles have such a soft feel that hug every part of your foot without feeling too tight or suffocating. This pointed design comes in 18 total colors and prints. 

The Hoka Cliftons are a best-seller for a reason. The foam soles make each step feel springy and super lightweight, while still giving your arches support and providing all-around comfort. Just read the 500+ reviews. 

M Gemi’s loafers are super stylish and happen to be one of the comfiest pairs of shoes you’ll ever wear. The rubber pegs protect the bottoms and the style molds to your foot after several wears; plus, the leather is tumbled so it’s extra soft and doesn’t dig in. 

This Black-owned shoe brand is a favorite of editors, influencers, and just generally fashion people (yourself included!). The “Eugenia” is its most popular style, and customers have nothing but great things to say about the fit, quality, and comfort. 

If you always struggle finding a shoe that matches your skin tone, Rebecca Allen’s designs are here to save the day. These flats also have a foam insole and mesh lining for comfort and breathability. 

These boots have an almost perfect 5-star rating and close to 300 reviews, so you know they’ll be an amazing addition to your winter boot rotation. The lug soles have excellent traction, a shock-absorbing insole, and elastic goring to get them on and off easily. 

You know what I find comfortable? Being able to run out the house by just slipping my pretty little toes into some mules and dashing out. 

Not to sound dramatic, but I would die for these “foxxy” flats. These luxury slides come in four different colors, and to be honest, you may as well get them all. They have a perfect 5-star rating if you need any convincing. 

Trendy but also super practical, these chunky knee-high boots have been walking straight into all our hearts over the last few months. You can def layer in some fuzzy socks, and you’ve got yourself pretty much the ideal winter boots. They have almost 100 perfect 5-star reviews. 

Here we are, finding ourselves marching back into the offices and in need of some comfortable, reliable, and neutral pumps. Well, I’m here to tell you that Kahmune specializes in just that! Check out their catalogue of short- to high-heeled office pumps in a ton of skin-tone shades. 

Okay, don’t hate me—you KNOW I had to include a pair of UGGs. Yes, they might reek of the early aughts, but with everything else from that decade coming back to style, might as well finally snag these ridiculously comfy, fluffy shoes. Or if your UGGs from high school are looking a little worn out, it’s time to invest in a new pair. 

We get it, it’s a hate it or love it thing, But you can’t deny that Crocs are unbelievably comfy; plus, they’ve gotten a much cooler facelift thanks to celebs like Justin Bieber, Bad Bunny, Diplo, and more bringing them back into fashion. 

I mean, are words really necessary here? Can you not feel your feet relax into this bed of fluff just by looking at these slides? They have carried you through a rough year, so they deserve to be caressed. 

Ever wondered what it’s like to run on clouds? Well, wonder no more my friends, because these wool runner fluffs will give you just that experience. 

When it comes to comfort, you cannot get any better than the Terrelique slides. I mean, these are literally described as “foot massaging” and are infused with peppermint oil. So basically, you can walk around and simultaneously get a soothing foot rub. What a win!

When you think of Timberland, you probably think of their iconic chunky winter boots. While those are plenty comfy and warm during the snow season, these lined slip-on shoes are also v tempting with a 90% recommendation rate from customers. 

Finding the right everyday sneaker that’s both comfortable and stylish can be difficult, but Vejas have proven themselves over and over again. If you’ve been looking for a sign to finally invest in a pair, consider this IT. 

I had to throw in a comfortable heel that fits the holiday season as well! Velvet kitten heels are simply the only way to go to a festive party. These are so popular, they’re low in stock, but you can also shop other colors and fits here. 

One simply cannot go wrong with having a pair of Nike Air Force shoes. As someone who owns two pairs myself, I can personally attest to their comfort and durability.

Even Meghan Markle can’t get enough of these comfortable heels. With their arch support and extra footbed padding, you’ll be able to wear them all day without pain or blisters. Just ask the 350+ reviewers. 

There’s a reason why almost everyone owns a pair of Converse shoes. It’s because they fit your feet like a pretty little glove. A foot glove, if you will. The high-top style also feels secure around your ankle without feeling too tight thanks to the adjustable laces. 

Your feet carry you through quite literally everything. That’s why it is only right to let them rest in these plush, soft slippers when you get home. 

New Balance shoes, aka Dad Sneakers, simply require a spot on this list. Featuring a padded tongue and cuff as well as footbed cushioning, your feet will be happy in these trendy dad-inspired sneaks.
