If we’re going to sport sneakers just about everywhere we go, why not invest in the most comfortable sneakers money can buy? After all, we wear them to run, to the gym, to travel, to walk around town, heck some even wear them on their wedding day. I did a deep dive, reading tons and tons of reviews and polling friends and family of the PureWow edit team to pin down the pairs that are best for all-day use, no matter what you’ve got planned—from wedge-heel kicks by Sorel that add a little height to Brooks runnings shoes that can see you through a whole marathon and plenty of chic white leather options (hello, Cariuma) you can wear on the daily. Here, 16 superstar sneaks that are sure to keep your feet feeling comfortable for hours on end, researched and reviewed by your favorite shoe-obsessed editors.

Meet the Expert

Dr. Anne Sharkey, DPM, is a board-certified podiatrist based in Austin, TX, with more than 20 years of experience. She received a doctorate of podiatric medicine from Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science.

How I Chose the Most Comfortable Sneakers

All of the sneakers on this list were either directly recommended by PureWow editors, friends or family, or are made by brands that work closely with podiatrists to ensure their shoes are comfortable and supportive. I scoured reviews on multiple sites for each shoe, watched YouTube videos and read up on what the experts at shoe-focused publications had to say. Because the truth is, not every shoe works for every foot, but among the 16 stunners on this list, I feel pretty confident you’ll find at least one pair—or hopefully more—of comfortable sneakers to add to your wardrobe.

What We Like

Reebok

Multiple New Yorkers listed these Reebok sneakers as their favorite casual shoe for strolling around the city, including Senior Food Editor Katherine Gillen, though some did admit that if you deal with ample foot issues (like bunions or plantar fasciitis) then you might be happier opting for a pair with more aggressive support. “I love the Reebok Club C because they are durable yet surprisingly soft and comfy on first wear, probably thanks to a combination of a leather upper and terry-lined foamy inside,” Gillen explains. “Walking is basically my number one mode of transportation, and these have held up to the grime of a big city without giving me any blisters along the way.” Although they may look simple, like Keds or Vans, these Reebok sneakers have a much thicker, more supportive sole, including an EVA midsole to help with shock absorption—a must when strutting down concrete sidewalks. The inside of the heel also has a little extra cushion to prevent irritation there. And while the terry cloth inner lining technically doesn’t offer anything by way of support, it does feel incredibly comfortable and soft on your feet (with or without socks) as an added bonus.

Promising Review: “They felt a little stiff at first, but are now more flexible. I play pickleball in them every day. They are not slippery and provide enough cushioning on the outdoor court.” – Zappos reviewer

What We Don’t Like

only available in white with colorful accents

Cariuma

Cariuma has long been a PureWow favorite for stylish, sustainable footwear that is both comfortable and cute. But the Salvas stand out thanks to their truly timeless design and the fact that they require zero break-in time. Seriously, the top of the sneaker is so supple and soft, Director of Branded Content Rachel Gulmi (and many others) found she could just slip these beauties on and go without worrying at all about irritation on the back of her heel. Assistant Fashion Commerce Editor Stephanie Meraz agrees. “Almost a year later, and my Cariuma Salvas are still my favorite go-to everyday sneaker,” she notes. (You can read her full review here.) “They’ve held up so well, only getting more comfortable and stretchy as time goes by. For instance, I can now step into them instead of having to untie and tie them over and over again. And I’ve got to say, I’m pleasantly surprised to report that they’ve stay pretty true to their original white hue. Of course, there are a few scuff marks here and there, but they don’t look gray by any means.”

FAST FACTS

Size Range: US 5 to 13
Promising Review: “I was skeptical reading all the great reviews, but after the first 10 minutes, I really liked my sneakers. They could use a little bit more arch support, but, overall, they hug my feet, feel good all day, and they look great. I would buy another pair.” - Cariuma reviewer

3. PUMA Carina Sneakers

What We Like

easy to clean
under $75

What We Don’t Like

some found the leather to be too stiff

Puma

These classic white kicks do in fact come in other colors, but we love the all-white look of the originals for casual everyday use. The sole is much thicker than similar styles from other brands (like Vans or Keds) but isn’t so thick as to be considered a platform. But that extra rubber, combined with a SoftFoam+ sockliner and a molded insole, helps make these shoes incredibly comfy for strolls around town or exploring new cities. “These are some of the softest sneakers I’ve ever owned,” raves Meraz. “I bought them because I loved how clean and simplistic they look back when everyone was on the Nike Air Force 1 craze, but was surprised to find out I loved them more for how they felt than how they looked. The inside sole has a super-soft foam cushioning that truly feels like it instantly molds to your feet. Not to be cheesy or cliché here, but these are the closest things to what I can only imagine is like walking on a cloud. I will say, this style does run a tad small—I had to size up (I believe) half a size or my toes were grazing the top.” These Puma kicks are very highly rated at Amazon—as in, they have nearly 16,000 five-star reviews and a 4.5 overall rating.

FAST FACTS

Size Range: US 5.5 to 11
Promising Review: “I bought these just for style but didn’t think I’d dare do a bunch of walking in them. But I was on vacation in NOLA, put them on to do a short walk for coffee and that short walk turned into a full day of walking and exploring. I felt like I was walking on a cloud all day. I have chronic back and leg issues, but felt great after wearing these on my trip.” — Amazon reviewer

Turns out these classic kicks aren’t just super trendy, they’re also super comfortable. In fact, Wellness Director Sarah Stiefvater walked more than 100 miles in them on a recent trip to Europe and didn’t experience a single blister or bruise. “I wore this pair exactly once before embarking on my trip, and had nary a blister in 11 days (11 days of a lot of walking),” says Stiefvater. “I also liked the way they looked with nearly everything else I packed, a major win. I had three different pairs of black pants (leather, denim and trousers) and found my Sambas went perfectly with each. I didn’t love the way they looked with a black mini skort and tights, but I’m eager to try styling them with a wider variety of pieces going into the spring. They’re simple enough to not steal focus but I find they add just the right amount of understated cool.”

Best for Gym Workouts

5. lululemon Strongfeel Training Shoes

What We Like

designed specifically for women
great for both workouts and lifestyle
cushy dual-density foam midsole

What We Don’t Like

tend to run a half-size small
less cushion than the BlissFeel

lululemon

lululemon first launched shoes in March 2022 with the BlissFeel, a running shoe designed specifically for women. They pretty much immediately became a huge hit, prompting the brand to release even more women-focused styles, including the Strongfeel training sneaker which is intended to be worn for gym workouts and HIIT, but is absolutely stylish enough to double as an everyday shoe. “I broke my toe a few months ago and these were the only shoes I was able to wear without pain,” raves Executive Managing Editor Catrina Yohay. “They’re made for cross-training so the sole of the shoe actually feels flatter and less cushioned than your typical running sneaker, but that’s exactly why they’ve been a godsend for recovery. Since it’s designed for support and stability (rather than propelling you forward), I don't have to put as much weight on my toes just to walk around. Plus, they pair with everything from dresses to jeans.”

FAST FACTS

Size range: US 5 to 12
Promising Review: “I love to switch things up with my workouts so I never feel too stagnant. It’s great that I can wear these for Barry’s, 305 Fitness or even my beloved Jane Fonda workout tape, or with a cute sundress for walking around NYC.” – Abby Hepworth, fashion editor at PureWow

HOKA

Best for Running

6. HOKA Clifton 9

What We Like

comes in wide widths
lots of color options
beloved by runners of all levels

What We Don’t Like

exaggerated sole may not be for everyone

HOKA

HOKA shoes have become immensely popular over the past few years, beloved for their high levels of cushion and amped-up foam soles. But the crème de la crème appears to be the Clifton style. Numerous runners told me they swear by these shoes, as did frequent walkers and new moms. More than one also mentioned that they’d been turned onto the shoes by medical professionals, who praised the high level of support and roomy toe box. “My podiatrist recommended these to me when I had peroneal tendonitis,” says Senior Director of Brand Partnerships Randee Cerota, “and I’ve been a fan ever since! They are so comfy, offer great support and are also lightweight.” The Clifton has also been spotted on celebs like Kylie Jenner and Gwyneth Paltrow. Fans of the Clifton line likely won’t notice any huge differences between the model 8 and the new 9, but according to Tom Wheatley of the YouTube channel The Run Testers, “It does feel more noticeably enjoyable on the run. It’s a very comfortable shoe to run in if you’re racking up the miles.”

FAST FACTS

Size Range: US 5 to 12
Promising Review: “I walk up to 6 miles a day. I had nerve compression surgery to my ankle/foot and calf. I also have plantar fasciitis in both feet. Even with my foot issues, the Clifton 9 was was like walking on air. I walked around the store several times and there was no pain, not even a little.” — Hoka reviewer

Best High-Cushion Running Sneakers

7. Hoka Mach 6 Sneakers

What We Like

lots of cushion
great for running or walking
lots of color options

What We Don’t Like

thicker sole may take some getting used to

Hoka

These cushy Hokas have more foam than the Clifton model to give you and your feel a little extra support, whether you’re hitting the road for your long run or walking the dog. They’re a great everyday training shoe with neutral stability and ample cushion to keep your feet feeling comfortable and confident as you break a sweat. And with a 5mm heel-toe drop, they can also be worn for some post-run HIIT without throwing you off balance. But even if you’re not a runner, these comfy sneakers might just become your new favorite go-tos. “You won’t ever find me running,” admits Assistant Commerce Editor Natalie LaBarbera, “but I'm practically an athlete when it comes to my daily Dog Mom Walks. And let’s just say, these babies are a total game changer. I’ve donned them on upwards of three-mile walks with my pup, and I was amazed at how comfy they kept my feet, and how smooth of a stride they provided. I can confirm that the shoes not only feel ultra-light and supportive, but they also feel roomy through the toe box, so my feet aren’t squished at all.”

FAST FACTS

Size Range: US 5 to 11
Promising Review: “The quality is top-notch—durable fabric and materials that can take a beating. But what really blew my mind was the comfort. As someone who runs for that sweet dopamine rush and the free therapy nature offers, I’ve been doing 10Ks a few times a week for 25 years and these are probably my favorite running shoes, ever!” — Hoka reviewer

Most Stylish Running Shoe

8. Tracksmith Eliot Runner

What We Like

great for everyday use and running workouts
super chic design
works for (almost) all types of running workouts

What We Don’t Like

higher price point

tracksmith

Tracksmith launched just about ten years ago, but in that time it has swiftly gained a cult following for its minimalist running gear with a vintage appeal. And at the end of 2022, the brand finally launched its very first shoe—a classic lace-up trainer built to provide comfort and stability for the vast majority of runners, no matter their speed or experience level. Both the midsole and the insole are made from responsive Pebax foam to give you double the amount of cushion for comfort even on your longest marathon training run. I love any shoe that can do it all, meaning I can wear it for just about any type of training run and I can wear it in my regular day-to-day without it looking so obviously like a serious workout shoe. They don’t come cheap, but they’re worth it in my opinion for the amount of use I get out of them, on and off the track. (P.S. On the off chance you aren’t in love with your Eliot Runners, Tracksmith offers free returns up to 30 days or 100 miles—whichever comes first—after you receive your shoes.)

FAST FACTS

Size Range: US 5.5 to 11
Promising Review: “It felt smooth and comfortable during an 11-mile long run, delivering a unique semi-soft/semi-firm sensation. Truth be told, that was my first longish run in a shoe that wasn’t maximally cushioned in several years and I was surprised to find how much I appreciated the enhanced feel for the ground it provided, and that I didn’t miss a big layer of softer, cushier foam.” – Brian Metzler of Outside magazine

New Balance

Best Old-School Sneakers

9. New Balance 990

What We Like

available in narrow, regular, wide and extra-wide widths
available in kids, women’s and men’s sizes
made in the U.S.

What We Don’t Like

you might end up matching with every man in your neighborhood between the ages 40 and 75
high price tag (and they rarely go on sale)

New Balance

My dad owned about 35 pairs of these when we were kids so one day I finally asked for a pair of my own to see what all the hype was about. Since then, I maintain that these are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever put on my feet. This old-school gray style is also available in women’s, men’s and kids’ sizes, so the entire fam can get in on the fun, which is perhaps why it’s earned its status as a classic. It comes with an Ortholite insole and a shock-absorbing ENCAP midsole that will keep you comfortably on your feet for hours at a time. A dual-density foam collar offers extra support and stability around the ankle without feeling too restrictive, and the toe box is nice and roomy. While lots of reviewers mention loving these for walking or standing for long periods of time, they are on the heavier side, so may not be great for running anything longer than a 5K.

FAST FACTS

Size Range: US 5 to 12
Promising Review: “I feel like it’s a perfect mix between some really soft cushion and some very stable, firm cushioning. It’s right in the middle, making it a really great everyday shoe and one of New Balance’s best midsoles yet.” - Seth Fowler, YouTube sneaker reviewer

What We Like

What We Don’t Like

limited color options

New Balance

If you don’t want to invest quite so much into a pair of sneakers (or the 990s are, yet again, sold out), we highly recommend New Balance’s 574s. “I am a big fan of New Balance’s 574s as an alternative to the always sold out 990s,” says Gillen. “They’re very supportive and comfortable, plus there’s no break-in period. In my experience they run true to size, and I love that they look so cute and trendy with multiple outfits.” The vintage-inspired design isn’t nearly as chunky as the 990, but don’t think that means the sole isn’t every bit as comfortable. The midsole is a Goldilocks combination of soft foam paired with a durable polyurethane rim to give you a balance of cushion and bounce that will keep your feet happy all day long. It’s also partially made from recycled materials as part of the brand’s continuing sustainability efforts. Most reviews find these shoes run true to size, but if you want extra room in the toe box or space for your own insoles, we recommend going up a half size from your usual.

FAST FACTS

Size Range: US 5 to 11
Promising Review: “Like Birkenstocks, New Balance 574s mold to your feet with wear, courtesy of lightweight EVA foam cushioning in the arch and heel. They don't have high-arch support, but that’s OK—for those born with high arches, these will slowly shape to your foot.” — Evan Malachosky of Gear Patrol

APL

Yes, these sleek sneakers were originally designed for running, but the minimalist design makes them a great option for everyday use as well. Don’t let the relatively thin sole fool you, either. It’s made from a proprietary foam designed for “extreme comfort” and to “maximize energy generation,” which basically means these beauties will keep your heels and arches feeling good and put a little extra pep in your step, no matter how long you’re on your feet. The seamless upper material is also incredibly breathable, perfect for hot or humid days. Per LaBarbera, “I love APL's Techloom sneakers. They’re lightweight, super comfy and always have best neutral color combos. Even wearing them daily, they last for so long.”

Hilma

“I have both a high arch and wide feet, so finding shoes that don’t pinch can be tricky,” admits Executive Editor Alexia Dellner, “but I had zero issues breaking these in. They’re super soft and incredibly comfortable, with just the right amount of support.” Indeed, Hilma is also about crafting sneakers to fit a range of foot shapes, and often focuses on fit issues that may feel hyper specific (like Dellner’s high-arch/wide-foot combination). There’s a fit survey that makes it super easy to determine the right shoe for your needs, and after that all you have to do is choose from the fleet of very chic and fun color options.

FAST FACTS

Size Range: US 5 to 12
Promising Review: “I always struggle with horrible blisters and discomfort wearing new shoes, but these Hilma sneakers felt broken in straight out of the box. So comfy for walking, running or even dancing!” - Hilma reviewer

What We Don’t Like

Rothy's

Ever since launching in 2016, Rothy’s has made a name for itself making ridiculously comfy shoes you don’t have to be precious with. Even Meghan Markle is a fan of the brand’s OG flats. “I am consistently impressed with Rothy’s shoes, both for the comfort level and ease of care,” says Director of Special Projects and Royals, Rachel Bowie. “I’ve had multiple pairs of shoes, flats and sneakers for a few years now and they still look brand new.” The knit uppers, made from recycled water bottles, are particularly notable for their comfort right out of the box, so you don’t have to worry about blisters or skin irritation. They’re also incredibly breathable and can be tossed in the wash once you remove the midsole (though Rothy’s recommends skipping the dryer), a bonus for those who don’t want to bother with socks. Associate SEO Editor Marissa Wu is also a fan of these easy slip-on kicks. “They’re easy to pair with lots of outfits, washable, made of recycled plastic and have a sturdy footbed, which is essential for my flat feet,” she explains. “I’d say they run a little narrow but the material is super flexible so for me it’s a good compromise between style and comfort”

FAST FACTS

Size Range: US 5 to 13
Promising Review: “After wearing them for eight to ten hours and hustling around on my feet all night at work, my feet never hurt! I needed something that was cool and had support and these are perfect for me.” – Rothy’s reviewer

What We Like

What We Don’t Like

Kizik

Kizik sneakers have a unique design that allows you to slip them on and off, totally hands-free, without damaging the back of the heel over time. There are multiple styles to choose from, but Dellner is partial to the London for its comfortable, breathable mesh upper and roomy footbed. “They're sooooo comfy!” she raves. “They also have the added benefit of being very pregnancy-friendly (I can slip them on without having to bend over, or ahem, ask my husband to put them on for me). I have wide feet and a high arch (lucky me) so it can be hard to find sneakers that don’t squeeze in the wrong places and aren’t a size too big. The Kizik London sneakers manage to cushion my feet without feeling tight, and I didn't need to size up like I sometimes have to with other shoes.” Indeed, reviews suggest these run true to size. Per one reviewer with self-proclaimed wide, flat feet, “These are great. [The] sneakers are comfortable and supportive and easy to slip on, which is great when you’re out the door walking the dogs at 5:30 am.”

FAST FACTS

Size Range: US 6 to 13
Promising Review: “This is my second pair of Kiziks and I adore them. My first pair were when I became too pregnant to tie my own shoes. Now, with a toddler always running out the door without me and my hands always being full these are even more vital than ever.” – Kizik reviewer

Allbirds

These vegan sneakers are incredibly breathable, machine washable and super lightweight so you won’t feel bogged down after a full day on your feet. And, according to Wu, they’re also super roomy, which is great news for anyone with wider feet or bunions. “From the get-go, these [felt like they] were made for wide, flat feet,” raves Wu. “The footbed itself has the most surface area I’ve ever seen in a shoe, meaning my toes can happily splay out. (This feature also makes it incredibly sturdy; I’m prone to tripping but never do in these.) Then, there’s the contoured footbed. Every time I put these on, I can hear my feet do a happy sigh of relief when they get that added arch support. Whether I’m out hiking, exercising or running errands, these sneakers promise all-day comfort.”

FAST FACTS

Size Range: US 5 to 11

Best Waterproof Sneakers

16. Vessi Weekend Sneakers

What We Like

waterproof

What We Don’t Like

available only in whole sizes

Vessi

If you live someplace with heavy or frequent rainfall, a chic waterproof sneaker can be a great alternative to regular rain boots. This Vessi sneaker has the same look as more breathable mesh styles, but is actually fully waterproof thanks to an innovative Dyma-tex material that works to keep rain and water out without making your feet get too overheated. “I’ve been wearing Vessis for about a year now,” says Wu. “The round and wide toe box easily accommodated my wider feet and bunions. And the waterproofing is great. I accidentally stepped in a huge puddle last winter and the water beaded right off.” Wu especially loves that these sneakers are machine washable for easy care. “Only drawback is, due to the waterproofing, they aren’t the most breathable so your foot does warm up a bit. Not a problem if you have cold feet, though!”

FAST FACTS

Size range: US 5 to 11
Promising Review: “I work at a daycare during the summer, so playing the water is a big deal. Splashing around and running through sprinklers was no match for these Vessi sneakers. Stayed dry all summer. Now I’m wearing them to Ireland, and can’t wait to stay dry the whole time!” — Vessi reviewer

What to Consider When Choosing Which Comfortable Sneaker to Buy

“First and foremost when shopping for new shoes, find shoes that fit well,” advises Dr. Sharkey. She suggests trying on new shoes at the end of the day to account for the natural swelling that occurs throughout the day. “Choosing shoes later in the day will ensure that the shoes fit comfortably no matter when worn.” And while most adults will likely admit they haven’t had their shoe size measured since high school (or earlier), getting properly measured in a shoe store every now and then can ensure you’re still getting the correct size, especially as that size may vary by brand. She also stresses the importance of paying attention to the fit of the toe box, i.e., the front of your shoe. “Toes shouldn’t be squished together.” Lastly, she notes that finding the right shoe is really dependent on how and when you plan to wear it. “Know what you are using the shoes for—casual shoes to run errands are going to be very different that shoes for walking hiking paths in your neighborhood and running shoes for the gym.”
