Promising review: "5-star rating for literally the best shoe ever. I wore these almost every day this summer. They are so incredibly comfortable. Cushion and padding are wonderful, making walking and wearing them very easy. They are not too platform at all and they don't have a separate heel height from the rest of the shoe so you're on an even walking ground. Size is perfect. I stayed true to size and ordered my original sizing in Ugg, which is perfect. The style is so trendy and literally goes with everything. I highly suggest them. I have back problems/ back surgery, and these have made my life so much easier. Comfortable and great support." —Ashley Long

Get them from Amazon for $99.95 (available in sizes 5–12 and four colors — not all colors available in all sizes).

Promising review: "These are incredibly comfortable. I wore them walking all around Vegas, and my feet never hurt — no blisters, no soreness. They’re lightweight, easy to walk in, and the ankle strap feels secure without rubbing. The espadrille style is cute and versatile, and they held up great for long days on my feet. Definitely a great find if you want comfort without sacrificing style." —Jamie

Get them from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 5–12 and in many colors).

Promising review: "I have somewhat wide feet, and these shoes are perfect—not too wide or too narrow. The footbed has just the right comfort for wearing all day. The height is also just right—not too tall for shorts but tall enough for skirts and dresses. These are perfect go-to shoes for Spring and Summer when you can’t figure out what to wear with an outfit. These shoes go from the beach to casual dining easily!"  —Ruth G

Get them from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes 5–10 and eight colors).

Promising review: "I love these sandals. They are extremely comfortable and very stylish. I can wear them for long periods of time, and my feet don’t hurt. They are a little heavy, but once you start walking in them, you don’t even notice it. I get complimented every time I wear these sandals. Perfect summer shoe, and they’ll last for a lifetime. Highly recommend!" —Larriane T.

Get them from Dr. Martens for $160 (available in sizes 5–11).

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Chelsea Stuart says: "I have these and they are SO COMFORTABLE. Since I live in NYC, I always walk a fine line trying to find sandals that are both stylish and durable enough to walk mile after mile without ripping my skin off. I wore these on a recent IKEA trip (which — if you know me — is like a three-hour ordeal at minimum) and I couldn't have picked a better shoe. They're supportive but also have a tiny bit of bounce, and I like how the straps are adjustable. I just bought a second color because I know I will be wearing them every single day."

Promising review: "Fit as expected, gives a little height. Good for anyone who needs support on their feet. I changed into these shoes after wearing heels all day at a wedding I was in, perfect dancing shoes, and gave enough height so my bridesmaid dress did not drag on the floor! Perfect spring, summer, or fall shoes!" —James

Get them from Amazon for $54.95+ (available in sizes 3–11 and in a variety of colors).

Promising reviews: "I’ve recommended these to every single person I know. I bought them solely for a trip to Greece and they were the only shoes I wore. A 7-mile hike through a rocky, mountainous terrain, all over the slippery steps of a hidden seaside village, and through a walking tour of Athens and the Acropolis. Very comfortable and supportive." —Alexandra H.

"Super cute Tevas. Will be great for the spring/summer season. I’m a beach gal so these are right up my alley. I usually wear a 6.5 and got the recommended 6. They fit perfect and give me a little height. Very comfortable for a platform style with lots of cushion. Love, love love!!" —brandibabe

Promising review: "I love my new Raf sandals! I've been eyeing this style for a while.  They are incredibly comfortable and require almost no breaking in! The platform, along with the heel, makes them really comfy for standing and walking. These will get a ton of use this spring/summer!  I am a solid size 9 in Charlotte Stone (and between an 8.5 and 9 in other brands), and these fit super well. I absolutely love these sandals!" —Missy R.

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 Birkenstock for $124 (available in sizes 4–12.5 and in eight colors — not all colors available in all sizes).

Promising review: "Holy cow! These Reef sandals are fab. I haven't been wowed like this for a long time, but these Reef shoes are a huge win. Comfortable straps, arch support, and a nice 1-inch-high platform, this shoe goes great with wide-legged pants, dresses, and for kicking about town." —cheer team captain

Get them from Amazon for $64.95+ (available in sizes 5–12 and in a variety of colors).

Promising review: "Oh my goodness, I LOVE these sandals. My feet look amazing. They are comfortable to walk in despite the high heel because they are wedges. The straps around my leg fit just right. I am looking for any excuse to wear them. I have gotten compliments from anyone who sees them." —Colleen Sinclair

Get them from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in sizes 5–10 and 12 styles).

Promising review: "I love these so much and get asked consistently where they are from when I wear them. I plan to purchase in another color and potentially style. Great amount of lift and super comfortable." —Jillian Hastings

Get them from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in a variety of colors/styles).

Note: Some reviewers suggest ordering half a size up.

Promising review: "Love these! Bought the black pair first, then the pink (which was surprisingly neon but really fun), and then I got the white. Originally, I was just looking to update my sandal collection. But I noticed that lots of sandals right now have a strap around the ankle, and I didn’t like how that felt. These have the elastic around the top, and it's so comfortable! I even wore these walking around Disney World one evening! I also love the height they give without making me feel unsteady walking in them. I get lots of compliments on them, too! The price is also pretty reasonable! Totally love them!" —Teacher and Mom

Promising reviews: "I’ve wanted these sandals for so long and finally purchased them. They wear well and are very comfortable. I purchased them for a cruise and was concerned about breaking them in so I’ve been wearing them around the house. Honestly, they are so comfortable that I didn’t need a break-in period at all. Love them!!" —Sharon H

Get it from Amazon for $95.12+ (available in sizes 6–10 and four colors/styles — not all styles available in all sizes).

Note: Some reviewers say these platform sandals run narrow.

Promising review: "Absolutely love these platform slide sandals! I hurt my heel the other day, and it was too painful to walk in regular shoes – these were the only pair of shoes I could wear because they offer such an incredible comfy cushioning on the bottoms and put no pressure on my heel. Your feet mold right into them, so they don't flip-flop around when you walk. Highly recommend these shoes for comfort, ease of cleaning, style, and reasonable price. Perfect fit too!" —Corbin

Promising review: "I wear these EVERYWHERE! These are the most comfortable shoes that give you an extra boost in height. I have some clogs and used to have other platforms that were one level like this, and I kept twisting my ankle on those. These gladiator sandals are not only secure, but you can walk miles in them without fear of twisting your ankle, getting blisters, or having tired feet!" —Alexa

Get them from Christina Christi on Etsy for $142.75 (originally $190.33; available in sizes 6–9.5 and three colors). 

Promising reviews: "These shoes were the most comfortable platform sandals I’ve ever worn, straight out of the box. I was leaving a cold climate to vacation in a warm one, so I hadn’t broken in these shoes at all, and I was immediately walking long distances over uneven streets with no problem. Feet never hurt. Sandals are sassy and look as good or better than advertised. Easy to dress up your outfit and remain comfortable." —frequentcustomer

Promising review: "Soooooo comfy I wear them every day, even to school. Also, they are very cute and easy to style. The quality is great, I’ve even worn them on a farm chasing chickens. They are very lightweight and easy to walk in. For the price, I’d say it’s definitely worth it!! —Rylie

Promising review: "I’ve been eyeing these shoes for a while and finally decided to purchase them during the Labor Day Sale. I absolutely am in love with these shoes!!!

Promising reviews: "Literally GORGEOUS – they’re exactly how you’d envision them and super comfy. I wore these to run errands all day, cooking for 6 hours, and on a night out walking around the shopping center and my feet did not hurt at all. They’re literally my favorite shoes. I wish I could wear them everywhere. I’d say the only downside is they’re kinda loud and if your feet get sweaty easily like mine then it’ll definitely make like a smacking noise from the moisture but I think they’re worth it.10/10 🤩" —Fatima R.

Get them from Steve Madden (available in sizes 5–14) or Amazon for $89.95 (available in sizes 5–11).

Promising review: "I am 5'3", and these shoes give me a nice height lift, and make my legs look so cute! These shoes not only look uniquely fabulous, but they also have the softest material, are very comfy to wear, and have a good grip on the soles. I chose the transparent green, and I find the color so funky and fun, it’s also so easy to match with any outfit! These are a nice mix of luxury, style, and uniqueness that I just adore, they make me smile every time I look at them in my closet lol." —Dafne M.

Get it from Melissa for $189 (available in sizes 5–10 and in six colors — not all colors available in all sizes).

Promising reviews: "I am short, and these add height where I can wear pants without needing to hem them, yay! I can't run or walk super fast in these, though, as they are kind of heavy, and I don't want any accidents cause I'm sometimes accident-prone — these are really easy to wear all day, along with pairing these with a lot of outfits." —Allie

"I was a little unsure about spending this much on a pair of sandals; however, they have impressed me greatly. They are extremely comfortable, true to size, and require no breaking in. I get at LEAST 5 compliments every time I wear them. The color is gorgeous and goes well with anything as an accent. I wore them on a full day of travel, and they were perfect, and I also wore them during a full day of working a rose pouring event, that is, I was on my feet for 10 hours+ and not even a hint of being uncomfortable or in pain." —Krystal N.

I wore them for the first time on a cruise ship after wearing them the first day I had no muscle spasms or cramps in my legs and feet that night or neuropathy pain, which I expected due to all the walking. I wore them every day and night! They are worth every penny!" —Styler614
