Promising review: "These boots are made so well! They are unbelievably comfortable; there is no need to break them in. The first day wearing them I stood for several hours and had no trouble at all. These are by far my favorite boots. I will be getting more in the future." — Lisakay

Promising review: "I ordered these to wear to a wedding. I never wear high heels, so I was a little concerned they would hurt my feet or give me blisters. Surprisingly they are very comfortable!! I danced in them for hours and no aching feet and no blisters. I got so many compliments on them as well! If you are in doubt, don’t be. Just order them. You won’t regret it!" — Sherry Redman

A Sorel wedge bootie made with waterproof leather
Available in sizes 5–12 and 13 colors.
Promising review: "I have been wanting these Sorel Wedge boots forever. A gift card solved that problem so I purchased these beauties. Just got them today and I'm in love. They are sleek and minimal with the side zipper, which adds just the right touch of chic. And they are amazingly comfortable. I don't wear 3" anything but you would never know these are 3" with the wedge heel. They make your legs look a mile long. And I swear they make my butt look good. Now, I'm likely delusional, but at age 59, I'll wear anything that makes my legs and my butt look good. I'm gonna wear these babies around the house naked they’re that good. I live in Denver so they'll be ample opportunity to wear them in the snow and everything I've read says they're great for that. I'm calling this pair my best booty boot. Buy them. You'll see." —Joangee

Fuzzy Ugg slipper shoes with elastic sling back straps
Promising review: "First thing that needs to be said is that Uggs are great! They're warm, they're cozy, and you can just slide them on when you're freezing — I won't hear otherwise! They're not exactly high fashion, but they don't need to be when it's a straight-up polar vortex outside. So when I saw these Ugg slipper slides with an elastic back, I just had to buy a pair. I don't know what it is about them I find the cutest: the slightly sporty elastic, the Michelin Man–esque plush rolls on top, or the chunky bottoms that give you a little extra height. AND they have all the comfort of a slip-on slide, but without the feeling that your foot is going to fall out any second.
"They have a hard sole, so you can wear them as indoor slippers, half-indoor-half-outdoor take-out-the-trash shoes, or real regular shoes (aka what I'm going to use them for). When it's still warmish out, I'm going to wear them with my toes poking through, but they're also going to be *so* cute with socks (team socks + sandals 'til I die!!!!!). And they're SO SOFT AND COMFY! I'm prepared to live in these all fall. Paired with leggings and a blazer? It's the perfect 'Ugh, I can barely make today happen' work outfit. I honestly want to get another pair in another of the cute colors...or the leopard print. Oh, and just FYI, I ended up sizing down in these!" – Maitland Quitmeyer, Buzzfeed Shopping editor

Colombia hiking boots that are waterproof and lightweight
Available in sizes 5–12, wide sizes, and eight colors.
Promising review: "Before I got these shoes, I used to have a pair of Merrell's that I found were just way too awkward and clunky for me to walk in. I finally bit the bullet and bought these Columbia boots, and it was the best decision I have made! They're incredibly comfortable and provide so much support around my ankles. I love that they're waterproof, so I don't have to tread lightly through mud or water — I just stomp right through! I've worn them in short four-mile hikes and long 14-mile hikes, and they've been equally comfortable in both!" –– Stephanie Hope, Buzzfeed Shopping
Promising review: "I needed a waterproof boot that would also be good for lots of walking. I did a lot of walking in Ireland and Scotland, mostly in rainy weather, and these boots were true to their description. My feet were dry and comfortable." —Louise M.

Classic Bean boots for all types of messy weather
Available in sizes 5–11, three widths, and three colors.
Promising review: "I am a big fan of my Bean boots! They're comfortable and look so stylish in the fall, especially if you live in the Northeast — they're a must-have! I have gone on a couple of small easy hikes in these, but I would probably not wear them for anything harder." –– Stephanie Hope, Buzzfeed Shopping
Promising review: "I got these boots four years ago and being from Texas, I didn't think I'd have much need for a winter boot, but boy was I wrong. I have a pair of rain boots that cost a pretty penny that have sat in the back of my closet since I got these. They are perfect for the rain, snow, or cold. The leather upper has started to wear beautifully and I can say that without a doubt, these will be my go-to boots for the rest of my life." — TheTexan

Nisola
A pair of sleek Chelsea boots with memory foam insoles
Nisolo is a small business that sells ethically created, sustainable footwear. These ankle-high booties have a memory foam, five-layer, cushioned insoles and are available in sizes 5–11 and five colors.
Promising review: "Beautiful boots and comfortable right out of the box. They fit true to size. Like most of my Nisolo boots, I wore them around the house with thick socks for a couple of hours to get them a little softer. This pair was so comfortable that I quickly forgot I was wearing new boots! I like the casual look of the lighter grained sole of these and the rubber anti-skid sole will be great in the winter months. They are perfect casual boot. I’m a huge fan of Nisolo shoes for look, quality, and sustainability practices and they’ve once again impressed me with these." — Julie J.

100% genuine leather Chelsea boots
Thursday Boot Company is a small business specializing in created high quality footwear that'll not only stand the test of time, but will look fabulous while doing it. These boots are available in sizes 5–11 and eight colors.
Promising review: "Everyone — EVERYONE — at the place I work wears some type of Chelsea boot, ranging from the flashy to the more functional. I wanted something that was both sleek and professional as well as sturdy for walking 40 min in the rain every day, and these shoes fit the bill perfectly! Time will tell, but so far they seem to be waterproof as well as slip-resistant. I normally wear a 7–7.5 and sized up to an 8. It's roomy enough for thick socks, but close fitting enough without. No ankle chafing either! I'm very pleased with these shoes!!" — Danielle
Promising review: "These are the most comfortable boots I've ever owned, and I've owned a LOT of boots. I just bought my second pair because my old ones are starting to show wear after 18 months of hard use, and now I'll have a pair for getting dirty and a pair for town. They take a little breaking in (I can tell, because my old ones are way softer than my new ones), but that just means they're quality leather." — Lori

These are so comfortable, so stylish, and so quiet for clog-type shoes! I have tried other more expensive clog-type nursing shoes, and they do not come close to the comfort of Dansko shoes! I love them!!!" — Amazon customer

She did the Find Your Fit test to figure out which size would be the best fit for her, chose a pair, and is absolutely obsessed. She gushes about how comfortable and stylish they are and is so ecstatic to finally have a pair she can zip all the way up!" – Stephanie Hope, Buzzfeed Shopping

Promising review: "Love these boots. Totally worth the investment. I usually wear a 9–10 and I ordered the 10. I'm glad I did, definitely feel comfortable and have enough room to add the boot socks. I have fairly large calves and these are not too tight at all, which is usually a concern for me with boots. The green is lovely and true to the picture. When wearing them you can tell they are sturdy. The tread on the bottom is amazing also, and you don't feel like you're going to slip in the rain while wearing." — Samantha Leigh

Promising review: "This sneaker was everything I hoped for and so much more. They are now my favorite shoe. The leather wipes clean, the width is roomy but not too roomy, and the inside of the shoes are like a pillow for my feet. The arch is not really supportive, but I'm wearing them as a casual shoes, not for working out. The only actual issue I had was a one-day break-in of the heel of the shoe. It was rubbing the back of my heel. I solved it by pulling back on them several times throughout the day, and they were perfect from then on. I want more colors. Buy this shoe!" — KAL Bear
