Amazon
Promising review: “I love these shoes! They are extremely comfortable and fit perfectly. I’m always a size 8 â 8 1/2 and I ordered an 8 1/2.

My foot is a little wide so these hug nicely without my foot slipping around too much in the shoe and they aren’t so tight that my feet hurt after wearing them. They are a great walking around shoe.

Promising review: “My feet are wide, so I was worried that the strap near the toes would be too narrow, but it wasn’t! I’m also happy to report that these shoes were comfortable to wear right out of the box.

amazon.com
Promising review: “I was 10 when I had my last pair of Keds, and I don’t know why, because they’re cute and comfortable.

Get them from Amazon for $32.21+ (available in sizes 4â11 and 13 colors).

And a pair of crisp, white loafers that defies the rule about not wearing white after Labor Day. These comfy shoes are just asking to be worn year-round.
Nordstrom
Promising review: “These are by far the most comfortable loafers I have had in a while. The sole is a hard bottom but not so hard that they aren’t flexible when you walk. The leather is super soft, but the part around the heel is particularly soft and flexible. You never get the tightness or rubbing on your heel that you usually get from shoes. They did not need breaking in at all. It is a narrow or slim-fitting shoe, but it adds to the sleekness. I wear a 9.5 usually and I ordered these in a 9M based on other reviews and they fit like a glove.” âCassandra
Get them from Nordstrom for $68+ (available in sizes 4â14 and 24 colors/patterns).
