She's worn them through multiple pregnancies, rain storms and more formal events where high heels were just not going to happen.

"They're the kind of shoe that I never think about when I have them on," she said. "When I am wearing them, my feel feel simultaneously completely supported and like I'm wearing nothing. I also like wearing them in inclement weather because they have the slightest platform, which can help when navigating subway puddles and the like."

Promising review: "My husband was having some bad ankle pain, and he went to his doctors and they recommended these shoes. They have been working great! This is probably his third pair he has bought. He wears them for CrossFit, to work where he stands on concrete all day, for running, walking, really he pretty much wears them all the time. And they have helped greatly in supporting his ankles and even helping his knee pain he has had since he was younger! He also has a narrow 12.5 size foot and he has no issues with the fit at all. They don’t move too much, and really have a good grip on his foot. They are of course a more expensive shoe, but to not have pain when he lives such an active lifestyle is priceless. He highly recommends these shoes!" — Bree

(Reviewers say they’ll stand up to rain, too.) The two-part insole is flexible and cushy, so you can walk all day long without discomfort.

Promising review: "I tried a bunch of chelsea boots. I wanted a pair for New York, for potential rain, warmth, style, non-slip sole and walking comfort. These were immediately comfortable where many others were at least a little tight in the forefoot. I am a medium size 8 and almost always wear a 8.5 in running shoes but size 8 was perfect for me. Didn’t even try on the 8.5 I ordered. I do have a high arch. These were about an inch taller in the shaft than several others and I think it looked better with the slim pants I intend to wear." — Austin mom

Promising review: "Absolutely love these sandals. Bought two pair this year. I have high arches, wide feet and struggle with plantar fasciitis. These are supportive enough to not cause ankles to roll, have arch support without being too much. But are yet comfortable enough I can walk all day in them without plantar fasciitis pain. The soft leather over the straps are super comfy for long term use. I don’t recommend wearing them on a rainy/wet day. As the footbed did get a bit slippery when wet and the soft leather got stiff when dried. Although it softened up after repeated use after." — Tiffany
