Here is my current personal favorite. As mentioned, I’ve tried a lot of different versions. I’m obsessed with the laidback yet flattering look of these as well as the comfortability. Even without my orthotic inserts, I could walk all day in these.
Colors: Ash Lilac, Chalk/Glen Green, Chalk/Grey Blue, White/ Pure Grey, White/Vector Blue
Sizes: 5-11
Customer review: “These shoes are so comfortable and just want I wanted and imagined. If you’re on the fence, get them! So cute and comfortable. Have not given me any blisters. True to size! They’re perfect.”
Lululemon is, of course, famous for its activewear, so it only makes sense that the brand would branch into sporty footwear, too.
Colors: White, Raw Linen, Juicy Peach, Precocious Pink, Jade Whisper
Sizes: 5-12
Customer review: “Fits true to size. I have ordered all lulu shoes online, and they all fit great. I was just on a trip and I walked around for hours in these shoes and they were super comfortable and neither my back nor feet were sore. Love!”
This is the sneaker I plan on testing next, but I’m very confident that I’ll love them. I have a pair of stiletto boots from Frankie4 and wear them constantly. If this is half as comfortable, I’ll be over the moon.
Colors: White, Black, Silver
Sizes: 6-13
Customer review: “I have wide flat feet with bunions so it’s really hard to find comfortable shoes for work where I stand and walk all day. Riley fitted like a glove the moment I put them on and my feet don’t hurt anymore at the end of the day. They look lovely with pants or skirts and they are very high quality. Best investment ever.”

Editors and Meghan Markle like Veja, so why wouldn’t you? Barrionuevo and Chartrand both told me the brand is a consistent bestseller.
Colors: 8 options
Sizes: 4-13
Customer review: “I normally don’t spend this much on sneakers, but I took a chance, and wow, they’re lightweight and flexible but sturdy, high-quality materials, so cute and comfy! I have slightly wider feet in the toe area and was worried about the fit but they’re roomy and would work with thicker socks. I’m super picky with my footwear and am really happy with these. Totally worth the price point.”
