It’s a dilemma you’ve faced time and again: you can find shoes that are cute and inexpensive or you can find comfy shoes that won’t break the bank, but finding shoes that are cute, comfy, and comfortable can often seem impossible. Sure, you can spend hours searching through Amazon, but who has the time? Decoding the shoe section of the mega website takes not only time, patience, and the patience of a toddler who can ask the same question again and again without fail. In this case, instead of the eternal little kid question of ‘why’, is the much more grown-up version… ‘where?’ As in, ‘where are the cute, inexpensive, comfy shoes?

Here you’ll find slip-on sneakers with a subtle platform sole. You’ll also find a pair of toasty slippers that want nothing more than to keep your feet warm as you hang out at home. Then there’s the matter of the chunky block heel pumps that add a bit of polish to any outfit you pair them with. You’ll even discover a pair of flats by Crocs that are so comfortable, you’ll find yourself reaching for them again and again.

Keep scrolling to find reasonably priced ballet flats, sleek loafers, vintage-inspired peep toes, on-trend lug sole boots, statement sneakers, and downtown-cool slides that only look expensive.
