    Promising review: "I was worried I'd have to break these in a bit but once I get my foot in the fit was perfect for me.

    Heather Braga / BuzzFeed, Nordstrom

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Heather Braga says: "I have these Ugg minis and wear them as my 'work shoes' now that I WFH full time. They're the perfect mix between a slipper and an actual shoe, so I can continue to wear my comfiest clothes to 'the office' but also feel like I've somewhat transitioned into work mode for the day. They're super soft, as all Uggs are, and honestly just make me happy! They are true-to-size so no worries about sizing up or down."

    Promising review: "These are so comfortable, a perfect neutral color, and the mini isn’t so overwhelmingly warm like taller ones (I live in the South) so I can wear more often and even indoors at home (again: I need comfort and convenience these days). Super happy with them." —CVB09

    Ma'am

    Ma'am is a woman-owned small biz based in LA that sustainably makes elevated everyday shoes, combining comfort with style.

    Promising review: "The first day of wear can typically be a challenge for new shoes, because I work long hours and am on my feet all day. I am thrilled to report that they wear wonderfully – they felt like I already owned them for a month, they were that comfortable! 10s across the board in my book. I sized 1/2 size up and am so glad I did. Honored to be part of the Ma'am club! Definitely buying more soon." —Ashley Cornett

    Get them from Ma'am for $300 (originally $350; available in sizes 5–11).

    BuzzFeed editor walking in the boots in the snow
    Amazon, Emma Lord / BuzzFeed

    BuzzFeed Shopping senior writer Emma Lord had this to say: "I only got these because it was a Black Friday sale because for some reason I am very resentful about purchasing boots (I love sneakers too much to function), but after wearing them all of last autumn and winter I would have paid full price and then some. They're ridiculously comfortable, keep my feet warm and dry, and I felt very secure walking in them on a day with fresh snow and the day after, when the sidewalks were icy. There was no break-in period, either, which I appreciate because I tend to go on long walks. There are no half sizes and some reviewers suggested leaning toward your lower size if you're usually a half — this was true for me! They run a smidge large."

    Promising review: "I purchased these to wear while walking my dog 1+ miles daily and wanted to feel safe walking in the snow and ice. The anti-slip tread on these boots did not disappoint. They are sturdy and allow me to walk without any slipping. My feet stay warm while walking through snow and ice sludge in the street." —lovetoshop

    Get them from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes 5–11 and five colors).

    15. Quilted rain boots so the occasional gloomy day doesn't rain on your boot parade. These stand out from traditional rain boots thanks to the fun quilted mid-calf design.

    Get them from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 5–9 and seven colors).

    Promising review: "These are so lovely and look great with any outfit. The reviews said how comfy they were and they really are. Wore them to a concert and wore them walking in and out of town on the first wear and no issues or blisters. I got the wide fit, not that I do usually but thought I would, and I’m pleased I did as it's super comfy and easy to get on and off." —Asos Customer

I normally wear a 5.5 in all other boots and the 5.5 fits as expected in the Lucky Brand bootie." —GaylaW

    Promising review: "I bought these shoes on Amazon after finding them on a different site for $40 more. I've been wearing them every day for a week. I live in NYC and I walk A LOT. They are mostly really comfortable. Breaking them in, the toes area can feel a little tight. But I really love them and I can tell they'll get more and more comfortable as I wear them!S Marshall

    Note: Many reviewers recommend sizing up for comfort!

    Promising review: “I bought these for an Elton John concert and received so many compliments on them throughout the evening! The rhinestones are absolutely stunning and even though I don't wear heels often, I was able to comfortably wear these for several hours. However, I would highly recommend going up a half size! I read several other reviews recommending this and am glad I did or else they probably would not have fit. I'd recommend going a half size up from your regular shoe size, but otherwise these boots are perfection!” —Amazon Customer
