As an editor, people always want to know, what's the best of the best? But, more than ever recently I keep getting asked about what's the most comfortable. As someone who take pride in what I wear, I also rank comfortability as number one [1], and looking good second. When it comes to shoes, it's no secret that there are tons of sneakers and sandals that are comfy, but not every pair fits the bill in my book. And when it comes to heels, the selection of ones that don't kill my feet is even smaller.
To give you an insight into what editors actually wear, ahead, I curated a list of the five comfortable shoes I currently wear on rotation, for a little shopping inspiration that'll get you ready for summer. From sleek slingbacks that I can dress up and wear for hours to classic sneakers that literally match with everything, these are the my dessert-island choices. Keep reading to shop them all and get a pair (or two) for yourself.
Nine West Happy Pointy Toe Heeled Slingbacks
I most often get asked about heels, and hands down, my go-to pair is the Nine West Happy Pointy Toe Heeled Slingbacks [3] ($99). Not only is the slingback a chic look, but the strap gives extra support. Plus, the cute and sturdy heel is easy to walk and stand on. I could truly spend hours in these. Plus, they also come in white, pink, and even a bold yellow shade.
M Gemi. Palestra Due Sneakers
The shoes I wear the most are the M Gemi. Palestra Due Sneakers [4] ($228). Over the last three years, I've gone through two pairs. They are sleek, cool, and easy to pair with anything. I especially love wearing them with dresses in summer.
BY FAR Tanya Sandals
The dressed up sandals I always turn to are without a doubt the BY FAR Tanya Sandals [5] ($384). The low, thick heel is easy to walk in, and they just make every outfit look more elevated. They're perfect for pairing with jeans, or a dress to an event.
Open Edit Odin Flip Flops
I'm a sucker for old-school flip-flops, but this season I've upgraded with the Open Edit Odin Flip Flops [6] ($40). They have a more stylish fresh look to them, but they're easy to slip on at all times and head out of the house in.
New Balance 990v5 Sneakers
One shoe that hasn't left my rotation for years is the New Balance 990v5 Sneakers [7] ($185). The ultra-cosy shoes just always make my feet feel happy, and the cool 90s look to them is one I'm just not over yet. From rocking them with biker shorts to mini dresses, they're so many ways to style them too.
