21 Most Comfortable Sneakers That'll Make Your Feet So Damn Happy

If you haven't heard about Samba OG shoes, where have you been?! Standing at almost 12k positive reviews, reviewers rave about its comfort, style, durability, and how it pairs well with everything. In other words, you can't go wrong with 'em. You'll be buying and re-buying Sambas for a looong time.

Sizes: 5-15

Colors: Magic Beige, Cloud White, Core Black, and more.

Rave Review: "As always, the Samba is a great fit! Love the comfort... no other sneaker compares! And this new color of tan is the perfect neutral, especially for spring/summer!"

We all need a comfy, clean-cut sneaker—especially one that allows you to channel your inner child with velcro straps!

Sizes: 36-41

Colors: Extra-White Black, Extra-White Babe

Rave Review: "I was hesitant to buy these shoes because of the mixed reviews but to my surprise, this pair is very comfy. I am 6-6.5 in size depending on shoe and make. This shoe fits me well; I can still wear a light sock and the fit is not narrow. Good padding for support and the straps though a bit short, does not bother me at all. Super cute, good with shorts, pants, leggings, skirts and even dresses!"

The New Balance 237s are immensely popular, but these alternatives (which are bestsellers on Amazon, nbd) are just as cute. Plus, they come in seven colors, and whether you opt for a classic neutral or go with muted blue, green, or burgundy shade, they'll work just as well with dark denim as they do with your chicest yoga outfit. I have a pair of NB fashion sneakers that have held up for years because they toe the line between fashion and function—highly recommend.

Sizes: 5–12

Heel drop: 10mm

Colors: Navy, black, grey, burgundy, white, green

Rave Review: "I love New Balance shoes and these don’t disappoint; the fit is true to size and super comfortable right out of the box, especially around the toes. Love the style and more arch support than I expected, which is great for me.”

How do I not already own these pastel beauties?? Veja is well-known for their focus on sustainability and fair trade standards, and it doesn't hurt that they're very chic too. Lots of users call Vejas the most comfortable everyday sneakers they've *ever* worn. FYI, these can run a little narrow in the width and either true-to-size or require a half-size up.

Sizes: 36–41

Heel drop: 10mm

Colors: Lavender, Peach, White

Rave Review: "The colors are so cute and perfect with my Madewell vintage jeans. I initially got the 37 (the recommended size) but ended up sizing up to 38. I wear sneaker socks with these shoes, which aren’t very thick. With these socks, the 37 was too tight and I couldn't move my toes. While there’s a tiny bit of space with the 38s, it was perfectly comfortable."

It's difficult to argue with 83,000+(!!) reviews, which often mention the Cloudfoam midsole, outsole, and memory sockliner as giving *intense* cushioning that mold to your feet with every wear. These are low-tops, which means flexible movement for avid runners, and there's apparently no need to break 'em in, so they'll be comfy right out of the box.

Sizes: 5–11

Heel drop: 4mm

Colors: Grey, Black, Maroon, and more.

Rave Review: "I bought a pair of Adidas Cloudfoam shoes 4 years ago and love them so I finally bought another pair in a different color. I’ve worn my other pair hundreds of times—they’re super comfy. They’ve been through several wash cycles in my front load washer over the years and they’re still not showing any signs of distress."

Nisolo's another one of those brands that never compromises on sustainability but also makes really, really well-fitting shoes. These feel as comfy as socks—so much so that actual socks are optional—and they feature water-resistant leather uppers and slip-resistant soles. (The brand's stretchy eco-knit style are also super comfy, btw.)

Sizes: 5–11

Colors: Bone, White

Rave Review: "Comfortable and very versatile. I absolutely love them, especially that I can wear them with so many different outfits. I'm trying to simplify my wardrobe so these are great for that."

ICYMI, Hoka sneakers are geared towards the *athletes* among us who want a shoe that strikes that elusive balance between being supportive and lightweight. The mesh construction is stretchy, breathable, cushioned, and shock-absorbing. Plus! There are lots of fun colors if you wanna match your shoes to your favorite exercise gear.

Sizes: 5–12

Heel drop: 5mm

Colors: White, Black, Shell Coral, and more.

Rave Review: "They are super comfortable and light. I've had ankle surgery and knee surgery so I take my shoes very seriously. I didn't think something so cushy and light would stay supportive but they all do! Love them. I'm a convert."

Wide-fit sneakers aren't necessarily a dime a dozen, particularly when it comes to a simple, classic all-white shoe. Luckily, ASOS offers various wide-fit sneaker styles, and this one gets reviewers excited for the construction and simplicity. According to testers, you'll wanna size up—like, maybe even a full shoe size.

Sizes: 4–13

Colors: White

Rave Review: "I got these a week ago and absolutely love them, they're so comfortable and don't feel heavy on my feet."

We all know Birkenstock for its iconic sandals (which have come back in a huuuuuge way), but don't sleep on the sneakers. The construction that makes their sandals such a dream to walk in—mid-sole cushioning and an expert footbed—combined with a breathable lining means you'll swap in these bbs for the fall and winter without giving up any comfort.

Sizes: 5–11.5

Heel drop: 0mm

Colors: Light Rose Pink, White, Black, and more.

Nike's classic is a bestseller for a reason. First debuted in 1982 as a basketball sneaker, Air Force 1's are now just as beloved by influencers and fashion-lovers. The brand obviously has more running-focused sneaker styles—which I quite like for HIIT workouts—but this one's your everyday sneaker.

Sizes: 5–12

Heel drop: 8mm

Colors: White, Black, Fierce Pink, and more.

Rave Review: "I love them, and I wear them almost every day. They are still very white!"

As a fan of Rothy's, these are my go-to's when I know I'll be walking all day. The thread used to stitch the sneaker together comes from ocean-bound plastic. And the end product somehow manages the seemingly impossible—they mold to your feet without stretching out or losing their shape. This updated model offers an even more streamlined design, so you'll be tempted to buy them in every single color.

Sizes: 5–17.5

Colors: Bone White, Courtside White, Navy, Purple Haze

Rave Review: "I love these shoes. They are the most comfortable casual sneaker I have ever worn and I have wide feet. I wore them for 12 hours for a work event (risky, I know) and they never hurt."

There's a pretty simple reason you might wanna splurge on some basic slip-ons—these are gonna last *forever*. The platform doesn't just look cool; it provides lots of shock absorption. Plus, they're equally comfy with or without socks. Commuters who live in these shoes say the inner padding can hold up for years with even the most intense wear, then they just re-buy the same shoe and start the process over.

Sizes: 5–12

Heel drop: 6mm

Colors: Tan, Black

Alllll of KOIO's shoes are super-comfy (check out their loafer section—trust), but their best-selling Capri sneaker comes in a million colors, including this sporty gum-sole version. The tight stitching means it's more water-resistant, and the careful construction means it's less taxing on the environment than regular leather sneakers.

Sizes: 5–11

Colors: White, Pink Quartz, Moonlight (light grey-blue), and more.

Rave Review: "From the moment I put on the shoes, they were comfortable to wear. I walked around with them the whole day with no issue. The leather is soft and feels high quality. Worth it!"

Taos shoes are wildly comfortable (including their heavier leather boots, which I wear constantly in the cold weather). They have leather, canvas, and ~hemp~ sneaker options, like this one. With forefoot, arch, and metatarsal support offering max shock absorption, this minimal-seeming style is way, way more impressive than it looks.

Sizes: 5–12

Heel drop: 19mm

Colors: Natural Hemp, White, Blue, and more.

Rave Review: "I've been looking for cute sneakers with actual arch support for so long. I have extremely flat feet and always wind up in pain if I stand for any sort of extended period of time. These shoes are great! They felt pretty tight and stiff when I first tried them on, but after wearing them a few times they're totally comfortable."

Allbirds has been on the scene for a while, and lots of people know their classic round-toe look. But one of the more underrated aspects of the shoe is how warm and snuggly my feet feel. These are a little less appropriate for heavy-duty exercise (there are separate options for that), but are great for wearing into the winter months without worrying your toes are going to freeze off.

Sizes: 5–11

Heel drop: 9.6mm

Colors: Grey, White, Black, and more.

Rave Review: "I have wanted Allbirds for a long time but wanted to try in person since I am between sizes. I tried in store and went up a size to accommodate [my] orthotic. They are really comfortable!"

Listen, are you gonna go for a jog in these? No, but I like my Charles & Keith shoes for their impressive construction and surprisingly impressive support. The soles provide good traction (for style purposes, of course, and practical reasons too, once it's cold and gross outside!), and are made from recycled polyester. Just know that they're not gonna offer a lot of give in the footbed—but your foot will be cushioned!

Sizes: 5–11

Colors: White, Nude, Black, and Lime Green.

One of the cooler aspects of Saucony sneakers is the various widths available—from narrow to extra-wide—which means that if you often have fit issues, you can probably find a version of this shoe that fits you perfectly. It's not for heavy-duty exercise, but the comfort's a no-brainer for a go-to walking-around shoe.

Sizes: 5–12

Heel drop: 8mm

Colors: Grey, Black, White

Rave Review: "These are the only sneakers I can wear. I have difficult feet with pain when I walk too far. These sneakers wrap tightly around my foot and provide excellent support and comfort."

Converse high-tops are everywhere rn (and for good reason), but did you know they're also particularly good shoes for weightlifting?? If you're doing *intense* deadlifts, you might wanna upgrade to the leather version, but otherwise these should do just fine for ankle support.

Sizes: 5–15.5

Heel drop: 0mm

Colors: Black, White, Summit Sage, and more.

Rave Review: "I love these shoes so much. I wear them a lot and they go well with almost everything I wear. I love how it's platformed, too."
