• Colorways: black, bordeaux, silver foil
• Sizes: 5 to 12

“Beautiful loafers, not too chunky, dresses up any outfit,” says one reviewer. We recommend wearing these with a split-leg legging, so the lug sole adds a lift and allows the legging to hang more elegantly. The black colorway is a classic, while the deeper bordeaux is great for fall. Additionally—and this is a real consideration with any leg-hugging pant—the pointy toe makes legs look longer.

• Colorways: black, cognac
• Sizes: 5 to 11

Aldo is known for its comfort, and this oxford has lex technology strategically placed at the forefoot of the outsole and insole, so the shoe gives you less resistance as you move. Soft rubber adds traction to the soles for less slipping, and there’s a reinforced heel for added support. Pair these shoes with leggings and an oversized blazer and you’ll totally look the part of a creative professional.

• Materials: woven leather upper, non-slip rubber sole
• Colorways: black, tan, gold
• Sizes: 5 to 12

The pointy toe of this cushiony ballet flat elongates your legs, and the woven leather looks way more expensive than these shoes are. We appreciate how the rubber sole is textured, so no slipping on cement as is often the case with other ballet flats, and the seven layers of padding in the footbed really make a difference when you’re on your feet for hours.

• Materials: vegan leather, neoprene, outsole is BIO EVA derived from sugarcane
• Colorways: 17 leathers and faux shearline
• Sizes: whole sizes 6 to 12

The slippers-as-streetwear trend is classic now, but we prefer to elevate the look with sleek puffy vegan leather slides that have a bit of heft to them, so they don’t look like you’re actually wearing slippers to lunch. And the puffy straps are filled with memory foam, so walking in them feels like a dream.

“They are so comfortable! [And they] look great with jeans or dresses or even leggings,” writes one reviewer, who bought one size larger than usual for the perfect fit.

“These shoes are so comfortable and cute! They have a small wedge, so they are not completely flat,” writes one reviewer. These get top marks for sightseeing because the toes are enclosed, which is a great safety feature for clomping around cobblestoned streets (as well as a great way to hide a chipped pedicure). Though the heels are enclosed, the sides are open, espadrille-style, and the straps are stretchy, so they stay comfortable as your foot expands throughout the day.

“Cute, comfy, and classic. They look great with jeans, leggings, and skirts,” according to one reviewer. “I like to wear them with the Vans no-show socks. So comfy I can even wear them to work. Love these shoes.” A padded collar and footbed adds to their comfort, and the black-and-white checked design work add a little spunk to plain leggings, and offer a complementarily clash to print leggings. And the slip-on design is the ultimate in get-out-the-door-fast ease.

These classic boots have a leg up on the traditional Dr. Martens because they’re designed with an easy to put on zipper on the inside of each boot’s nine-inch shaft.

And the nine-inch height shaft is made to tuck the bottom of your leggings into.

“If you have high arches and need ankle support, these are for you! I have tried a bunch of brands and Danners are the only shoes that work for me,” writes one wearer. “Comfy out of the box and I can hike over pretty much any terrain without slipping.” These are the rare hiking boots that are technically superior—they’re waterproof and the sole can withstand snow or muddy slush without getting your feet soggy—but also brunch-cute, thanks to the brushed suede exterior and contrast laces.

Kate Middleton wears hers with skinny jeans and dresses, but the entirety of hipster Brooklyn wears their Blundstone Chelsea boots with leggings. These iconic Australian shoes feature pull-tabs, which make them easy to pull on for a quick dog-walk, while the double-stitching and quality leather just gets comfier and better-looking the more you wear them. “Once broken in, [they’re] very comfy for everyday walking and for low-intensity hiking!” says one reviewer.

“These are maybe my favorite shoes. The off-white goes with everything, and you can walk for miles in ‘em. I will forever have a pair in my closet,” writes Chucks high-tops fan Maggie. Though these shoes were created over 100 years ago for basketball players, the design has largely stayed the same. Thanks to their comfort, style and just plain coolness, they pair well with another classic athleisure staple: leggings. We especially like a longer shirt with them.

• Colorways: black, chestnut, coffee bean, fawn, garnet, graphite, warm grey

A little bit of suede goes a long way when paired with basic black leggings, and these over-the-knee pull-on suede boots are just the shoe to warm your legs, while turning leggings into a whole outfit. They have a half-inch platform on the front and a three-inch stacked heel, so you’ll get height and longer-looking legs with these, while the stacked style of heel and lightly cushioned footbed means they’re still walkable. Plus, they come in a range of warm suede hues that you can easily match to your coat or favorite sweaters for a seamlessly autumnal look.

Ankle height cowboy boots with a low heel are a classic choice for anyone who wants to add some casual country style to their otherwise neutral wardrobe. With a pair of leggings, we like how these boots, with their wide top, make calves look trimmer. And the 1.8-inch heel is comfy for hours and hours—even on horseback. Note: Due to the pointy toe box and narrow silhouette, multiple reviewers advise going up one full size when ordering.

• Materials: leather upper, genuine shearling lining, synthetic sole
• Colorways: chocolate, chestnut, grey, black, burnt cedar
• Sizes: 5 to 10

This classic Australian boot is a pioneer in the so-ugly-it’s-cool footwear race. The suede comes pre-treated to protect against stains and other outdoor hazards, and while the boots aren’t waterproof, they’re plenty sturdy and cozy. The unofficial boot of lazy fall afternoons and winter Sundays, we love the look of leggings tucked into these.
