I got these bbs before a trip to Ireland where I was walking several miles everyday, and let me tell ya, they delivered!

Known as the "world's most walkable heel," I can personally attest that these chunky heeled sandals are indeed very, very comfortable. The secret: the deep heel cups, which help to cradle and stabilize your feet as you walk, as well as the incredible arch support, which makes full underfoot contact to reduce pressure.

Another Cosmo editor fave: the Reebok Club C 85. These low-cut, retro-chic sneaks are timeless and comfy right out of the box (no break-in time required!) thanks to the fuzzy terry lining, impact-absorbing midsoles, and soft leather uppers.

If you're looking for a summer sandal that adds some height without adding any pain, these platform sandals from M.Gemi (which come in patent leather, crinkled leather, or kid suede) are your gals. The low, flared heel makes walking easier, and the multiple straps add a lil extra support.

Glowing Customer Review: "Beautiful and functional platform sandal. My high-heel days are long gone, but these shoes are perfect for me these days. No break-in period required."

The slip-on horse-bit loafer is having a big moment RN...but if you can't afford those Gucci Princetown slippers, these bbs are a v good alternative. Reviewers are so impressed with the roomy toe box, low heel, and elevated design (and you'd never guess they cost a mere $32!!).

You may know Rothy's best for its A+ ballet flats, but the brand's new breezy espadrilles are also v worthy of your attention. You'll love the breathable fabric (which is made with a blend of hemp, cotton, and recycled plastic bottles), the incredibly plush footbed, and the fact that you can wear them either with or without the removable ankle ties.

Glowing Customer Review: "I absolutely LOVE these shoes! I purchased the black and white. The versatility with the strap is wonderful, making them dressier or more casual, depending on your outfit. The padding in these shoes is fantastic, but not bulky or heavy."

The problem with a lot of pointy-toe shoes: They squeeze TF out of your feet. But that's not an issue with these pointed-toe flats, which feature knit uppers that stretch as you need them to. Other perks include the removable, padded natural latex insoles and the blister-proof protective heel patches...and the fact that they're just a lil over $30.

• Material: Knit
• Colors: 12 options

Glowing Customer Review: "I have bought and worn many flats in my life. I am a teacher and on my feet all day long. These flats are THE MOST COMFORTABLE! They didn't even need to be broken in. I've bought them in multiple colors!"
