Comfortable shoe shopping can be a blessing and a curse. It’s a purchase that seriously impacts your daily life, and there are seemingly infinite numbers of cute shoe styles available these days — but I still want to see all of them before making a purchase.

These days, I go straight to Amazon to narrow it down. (And I get them in a jiffy thanks to Prime shipping.) These cheap, comfy shoes keep selling out — and they have near-perfect reviews. So, what are you waiting for? Shop ahead.

1Feather-Light Foam Slides With Yeezy Styling

Yeezys on Amazon? Well, not quite — but these Cushionaire recovery slide sandals definitely give off similar vibes. The 1.75-inch platform provides extra lift while the foam construction molds to your foot. One shopper weighed in with a glowing review: “Amazing. Delightful. Walking on clouds. Trendy. Everyone should get a pair.” For $25, who could argue with that? Wear these with bike shorts and a bodysuit like Kim Kardashian, or slip them on for beach days — because they’re also fully waterproof.
