Footwear is one of our favorite categories to shop — but when it comes to shoes, pain doesn’t have to equal beauty. There are certainly heels and other types of footwear on the market that are stunning but truly uncomfortable to wear all day — especially while walking or working. But doesn’t mean that there isn’t an equally as gorgeous pair of shoes out there that won’t hurt your feet!

With that in mind, we’ve been on the hunt for pair of shoes that will satisfy your every need and be extremely easy to wear in the process. Whether you’re looking for a comfortable everyday shoe, a slip-on shoe, a walking shoe, an office shoe or a pair of heeled sandals, we’ve selected sleek options that will provide your feet with the comfort they need. Check them all out below, and get ready to upgrade your shoe game in 2021!
