Promising review: "If you are looking for a shoe that is cute and comfortable, look no further! This shoe is everything! I wore this shoe all day long walking through the streets of Paris and Florence. And when I say walk, I mean walk...some days up to 10 miles. I brought three other pairs of shoes and ended up wearing these pretty much every day. The platform heel was just the right height, and the sole was almost like memory foam and seemed to absorb the pressure from all the standing and walking. The straps did not rub my feet and were easy to open, close, and adjust. Great shoe if you are on the go! I would highly recommend." —Jay

Get them from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes 4–11 and 17 styles).

If you like the height, they also come in a three-inch heel!

Promising reviews: "Reaching for these sandals more and more because they’re comfy, cute, and elevate my outfits! They didn’t require any breaking in, and I’ve worn them for an entire day out and had no issues with long term wear. Fit was true to size. Going to get another color since I love them so much!" —Nidhi Patel

"Wow! I walked miles over cobblestone in these bad boys and had no discomfort. I was worried the price was too good to be true, but it’s not. They feel pricier than they are, and the comfort is incredible!" —Eric

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 6–10 and 20 designs).

Promising review: "One of my favorite shoes I’ve owned! Took them on a hiking trip without breaking them in first — NO problems. So comfortable. Hiked 10 miles through dry and wet and they were a godsend! Awesome!" —Morgan

Get it from Amazon for $35.45+ (available in sizes 5–14 and 19 colors and patterns)

Reviewers say they run a little small, so size up a half size.

Promising reviews: "I LOVE THESE SHOES!!! I wear these almost every day and always get compliments on them. Super comfy!" —Pat J.

"Totally worth the money!! I work in an office so I have to dress professionally and these shoes go with almost any outfit. They do run a little small and narrow but they fit me perfectly. Also very comfortable and they have not given me any blisters." —Megan B

Promising reviews: "I walked around Epcot for 12 hours in these flip-flops. Not a single sore. So comfortable! Highly recommended." —tina roya

"These are AMAZING. The only flip-flops I’ve ever owned that I can literally walk all day in comfortably! Took them on an eight-day beach vacation and averaged 5.5 miles per day walking! They stick to your feet firmly — very little 'flopping' lol. I also have a wide foot and have issues finding flip-flops and sandals that my feet won’t spill over the sides of. Amazing shoe. And for a Crocs product, not bad-looking!" —S Doeringsfeld

Get them from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in sizes 4–11 and up to 11 colors).

Promising review: "I absolutely love these sandals. I wear them almost every moment of every day. I have several pairs in different colors. They have the softest foot bed ever and the elastic fabric straps are so soft and comfortable it’s like nothing is there strapping your foot to the shoe. 😁And oh my, the part between the toes is so soft and tender. It’s like you are not wearing anything on your feet at times. No soreness between the toes like other thong sandals do. If you love sandals and you love comfort and cuteness at the same time then you need to have the Sanuk yoga." —Debbie C

Get them from Amazon for $19.96+ (available in sizes 6–10 and nine colors).

Mexican artisans craft each pair of these shoes by hand; they're sold by a Buena Park, California-based small biz called Macarena Collection. They only come in whole sizes, but they're made of genuine leather so they'll stretch with time — so size down if you typically wear a half size.

Promising review: "Can I give these 1,000 stars? They are soooooo comfortable!!! I was afraid because my feet are on the wider side, but oh my do they fit absolutely amazingly well!! Don’t hesitate to buy them!! I love them! I love them! I love them!!" —Jennifer Baez

Get them from Macarena Collection on Etsy for $49.59 (originally $61.99; available in sizes 5–9).

Promising reviews: "Travel tested and approved — LOVE!! My hairdresser friend recommended these since she’s always on her feet. They were so reasonable so I ordered them for my South Africa honeymoon trip. They were INCREDIBLE!!! My feet never hurt, and I walked a ton of miles in them. They also went with a ton of outfits, so I was very happy!!! I highly recommend!" —Leah Gwin Hoefling

"These shoes were recommended as comfortable walking shoes. They absolutely are the best! I bought these shoes to have a stylish, casual shoe for a NYC/DC seven-day tour. I walked an average of seven to eight miles a day even in a downpour. Not a single blister or pain of any kind. If you are searching for stylish, casual, and comfortable, then these are it. Easy on and off, water-resistant, and coordinates with all outfits." —S. Lee

Get it from Amazon for $37.14+ (available in sizes 5–13, including wide sizes, and in up to 30 designs).

Promising review: "I love these sneakers! They are so cute and trendy, and I have gotten so many compliments already. They are also way more comfortable than I expected. Spent all day on my feet at an amusement park, and my feet didn’t hurt at all which they usually would have." —Tanonymous

Get them from Amazon for $59.27+ (available in sizes 5–11 and tons of colors).

Promising reviews: "It is hard for me to find cute sandals that are also good for walking. I walked 5 miles the first time I wore these and had no blisters or discomfort. They look great with a skirt or pants, and a lot of people have complimented me on them. I wear a size 11, and these were true to size." —Caterpillar983

"Love my new sandals! Great cushioning and arch support, sporty look, and the adjustable strap is great for the Florida humidity that makes your feet swell when you walk a bit. I found them true to size. I'm usually between an 8 and 8.5 (usually the larger size in athletic shoes) and found the 8 in these to fit well. Got lots of compliments on them my first day wearing them! So comfy!" —Maggie

Get them from Amazon for $98+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in eight colors).

Promising review: "I love these shoes so much! I am pregnant and I have to be picky with the shoes I wear or my feet are sooo done by the end of the day. I wear these all the time and they have been heaven...might even buy another pair in another color. I do find these to run a little big but since I’m pregnant and my feet are swelling and I still have a few months to go, I decided to keep the ones I bought and they have been great. Also bought a heel support insert because I do think the cloudfoam gets worn down easy. With that, they have been perfect!" —Elaine

Get them from Amazon for $39.91+ (available in sizes 5–12, including half sizes, and 39 colors)

Promising review: "I bought these for walking long distances in my city. I wanted something to look cute but be comfortable. The leather is a bit stiff so I wore them for short distances a few times before wearing them out to do errands. I covered three miles in them yesterday then went to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers and danced for two hours, and my feet felt great! I'm a high heel girl, but if you need comfortable soft sandals, these are the ones. If you don't wanna [take] the time to break them in (I mean they ARE Docs after all), just buy some moleskin and attach it to the stiff bits. BTW, TONS of compliments, too." —Chris Quinlivan & Dion Serene

Get them from Amazon for $86.32+ (available in sizes 5–11 and two colors).

Promising review: "I have ordered several pairs trying to find the one that lives up to its hype. Well this one is it. Super cushy and fits true to size. I ordered the mauvish pink colored one and love it. I will be ordering a black pair. I have a heel spur and planters fasciitis so regular flip-flops bother me after wearing them for several hours, but these do not. Very pleased with this purchase and highly recommend." —leah

Get them from Amazon for $24.99 (available in sizes 5–12 and in 30 colors).

BuzzFeeder Marquaysa Battle owns and loves these shoes: "I own a black pair of these and they're seriously one of the comfiest friggin' sneakers I've ever worn (the other is a pair of New Balance) in my life. The 'Cloudfoam' insole really does make it feel like your feet are walking on clouds. I thought that feeling might go away after several months of wear but the sneakers remain fluffy and relaxing. The sneakers were so comfortable that I started wearing them to the gym, to work, and even matching them with cute dresses for going-out looks. You'll probably want to order two pairs of these babies so you don't wear out a single pair after you fall in love. I bought my mom a pair as well."

Get them from Amazon for $48.97+ (available in sizes 5–11 and up to 39 colors).

Just make sure to air dry them if you wash them, so the fabric doesn't shrink!

Promising reviews: "These are the most comfortable shoes right out of the box! No need to break them in, they are the best. Hey Dudes are true to size. Definitely going to order more." —Caigesmama

"I have wide feet and find these to be very comfortable. When I'm not at work and I'm home or running errands I'm in a pair. I've accidentally gone fishing in my gold sparkle pair. Forgot to change out shoes. They got muddy and dirty. When I got home, I washed them in the washer. Set them out to dry. Baddah bing baddah boom like brand new." —Shopaholic

Get them from Amazon for $40.26+ (available in sizes 4–12 and in up to 12 styles).

Promising review: "I walked 8.3 miles in these heels and have no regrets. I wore these for the very first time for Disneyland's Dapper Day, and I was OVERWHELMINGLY surprised with how comfortable they were! I have never bought shoes on Amazon before and was worried that the fit and or quality would make me regret my purchase. But truly, it was far from it. The heel is the perfect height to give you a lift and wide enough for you to feel secure! The strap when fitted snug around your ankle can be a bit irritating when it rubs, so I loosened them. At the end of the day, the balls of my feet were a bit sore, but that's just the effects of Disney. But I'm happy to report that I have no blisters, and I can't wait to wear them out again!" —cissyjworstell

Get them from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes 5–11, including wide sizes, and up to 21 colors).

Prime members: You can try before you buy! And since it's nubuck, you could protect them so they last even longer with Scotchgard.

Promising reviews: "Awesome, took these on a European adventure. Three weeks, averaged 10 miles a day, no issues. Cute, comfortable AND waterproof...doesn't get better!" —Kady

"Loved the waterproof feature with this bootie. I didn't fully believe it but I tested it on our trip to Scotland under rain, sleet and slushy street conditions. Not only did it survive and still look nice, it didn't let in a drop of water. I am a believer! They didn't need any breaking in time and have been a comfort from the start. Would highly recommend!" —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $149.99 (available in sizes 6–10 and in up to four styles).

I've had that pair since 2019 and they're still my #1 most-worn shoe in the late spring, all summer, and early fall, they're THAT comfortable, cute, and durable — read my Birkenstock Arizona review for more. My colleague Sally Elshorafa swears by them too: check out her Birkenstock review.

Promising review: "I love these! They are so comfortable! My husband and I took our daughter to Disney and wore the Birks while our friends wore sneakers. We walked a total of 15 miles throughout the day and our feet were fine. The friends that wore their sneakers had bloating and pain. Bought a second pair." —bave

Get them from Nordstrom (available in sizes 5–11.5 and 22 styles), Zappos (available in sizes 4–12.5 and 39 styles), Free People (available in sizes 5–10.5 and 11 styles) or Birkenstock (available in sizes 4–12.5 and 216 (!!) styles, included the exclusive green pictured above) for $110+.

Promising review: "I bought these sandals before a three-week trip in Europe; I didn't want to pay for Birks but did want something in similar style with good arch support. I was a little skeptical about the low price, but gave them a shot...and they were the MOST comfortable sandals I've ever owned. I walked over 120 miles in them in three weeks on our trip and never once had foot pain. They broke in so quickly and were very supportive from the get-go — and still are! Highly recommend." —Han Lin

Get them from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes 6–12, including wide sizes, and in 20 colors)

Check the size chart to figure out what you need, depending on your foot length. And you can adjust the back strap!

Promising review: "Comfy and trendy enough. I like 'em! I prefer not to wear shoes that don't have a back. It's my paranoia that I'll have to break out in a run at some point. But these work very well. I walk miles in them without discomfort. Plus, they're cute. Trends up any casual outfit. They are not Croc- or Birkenstock-level comfort because the sole is not cushioned, but it is carved out just right for the naked foot. Update: Just came back from a month in Costa Rica during rainy season, and I'm so glad I brought these! They held up so well getting through muddy pebble streets. The soles were thick enough to not feel the rocks beneath me and keep my toes from getting in the dirt. When I got in, I just washed them off. The white color held up in all that, and they never felt uncomfortable or as if they would come off my feet (a concern I have about sandals without ankle straps). They are excellent value. Get 'em!" —MelRay

Get them from Amazon for $17.99 (available in sizes 6–10 and two colors).

Promising review: "These are basically my everyday shoes. I wear them in the office and I wear them out and about. I went out with my friends one night and danced for six hours. My feet were sore by the end of the night but I was able to still walk without taking them off. They're comfortable and look nice. I get compliments on them all the time. Goes with almost all of my outfits." —Quyen

Get them from Amazon for $22+ (available in sizes 5–10 and in 11 colors).

All the materials in the boot are vegan, not just the leather! Like all Docs, they will have a break in period, but after that they'll feel like a second skin. And if you prefer a leather version, other colors, faux fur lining, or different heel heights, see all of the Dr. Marten Chelsea Boot selection.

Promising review: "These have been my favorite pair of Dr. Martens I own. They go with practically anything and once broken in they are so comfy I never want to take them off. I’ve received multiple compliments and the fact that they are vegan just make it that much better." —Samantha B.

Get them from Dr. Martens (available in sizes 5–12) or Amazon (available in sizes 5–11) for $170.

Promising review: "I needed a pair of dressy shoes to wear with my suits on days when I have to walk a lot. These shoes look sharp and they are so comfortable. I can walk all day in these and guess what, they look great with jeans too! I feel like I have a spring in my step when I'm walking in these and I get so many compliments. I am ecstatic with this purchase. They fit perfect too which I was a bit worried about." —Jane Jernigan

Get them from Amazon for $43.50 (available in sizes 5–13, two widths, and up to 13 colors)

Promising reviews: "Absolutely love these! They are so comfy that I can walk miles in them without my feet hurting. They also go with every outfit and can easily be dressed up or down." —Cassidy

"I'm obsessed with this shoe! I love that it fits like a bootie. Adorable with skinny jeans/leggings, dresses, etc. Can be dressed up or down — I wore them to a wedding in Greece, and also out and about during the day in Spain. Very comfortable for walking, dancing, whatever!" —jasmineflower

Get it from Amazon for $49.23+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 8 styles).

My BuzzFeed Shopping colleague Jenae Sitzes owns these and loves them! She says: "Reviewers swear these don't even have a break-in period, making them a great pickup for that last-minute outdoorsy trip where hiking and rough terrain are on the docket. Note that it's recommended to go up a half size in these boots to accommodate thicker hiking socks, and I found that to be true when I picked up these shoes myself — I'm normally an 8 but found an 8.5 in these to be totally comfortable. I also found that they hold up well even on my first hike — though I did admittedly still have some soreness around my heel area, this was after a hard, 7+-mile hike with lots of rocks and climbing, so I don't blame the shoes. They felt comfortable right out of the box and super supportive when I was clamoring over rocks and rough terrain. And though I only stepped in water a couple of times briefly, my socks stayed dry, too. I got the brown color with red laces as pictured above, and they're even cuter in person, which is just another plus."

Promising review: "There’s a reason that these hiking boots are the #1 best hiking boot on Amazon. I am amazed that they are so comfortable. This is day four that I’ve worn them, and my feet feel fantastic! I hiked four miles on the second day, and my feet were not tired, achy, or sore. I have been hiking for 30 years and have had numerous boots, but not a single pair have been this comfortable. The price is so worth it for what you get. In fact, I am ordering another pair so I can have one pair for hiking and another pair for everyday use. You simply cannot go wrong buying these boots." —Granny B

Get them from Amazon for $75.95+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and up to 16 colors). Get a similar version in men's sizes here.

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Rachel Dunkel loves these! She says: "The older model of these shoes totally changed my life — backpacking miles came easier, blisters and foot pain on trail nearly disappeared, and my boots went bye-bye."

Promising review: "I love Altra Lone Peaks! This is the fifth pair that I have bought. I don't actually run in them, but do a lot of hiking. Trail runners have become very popular in lieu of hiking boots for scouting high adventures like Philmont, due to their light weight and short dry time. My son and I wore ours on a 40-mile, multi-day hike in the Pictured Rock section of the North Country Trail. The toe bed is wide, so your toes have plenty of space." —Elizabeth A. Wiley

Get them from Amazon for $88.93+ (available in sizes 5.5–12, including wide sizes, and seven colors). Or get a similar version in men's sizes for $99+.

I've owned and loved my first pair of these since 2017, when a few of us first tried them; here's our original Rothy's Flats review. These days I have three pairs I cycle between and they are my #2 most-worn shoe in the spring, summer, and fall, precisely because — besides being incredibly comfortable, especially once they form to your feet — they're so easy to wash the moment they start to smell. I've washed them dozens of times over the years and they all still look perfect. TBH mine STILL look as new as they did when I first got them, and FWIW I find I can wear mine for a couple of weeks before they get stinky (unlike the reviewer below). I'm wearing them right now! Their material makes 'em super easy to pack for travel, too: I can fit two pairs in less space than my sneakers take up. Oh, and it's just a perk that they're made from recycled water bottles.

Promising review: "I was apprehensive to spend this much money on a shoe in general, but especially a FLAT. 99% of the flats I've purchased ended up hurting my feet. I took the "point" to Las Vegas which means TONS of walking. To my surprise, they felt amazing, like I was walking around barefoot in my kitchen. They have just enough spongy give to be comfortable but didn't stretch out which was great. They are perfect for travel as they fit easily in a bag and this shade of red is perfection! Really dresses up anything casual. My only concern is now i'll want MORE in MORE colors!" —Lara D.

Get them from Rothy's: the Petal Square, pictured left, for $159 (available in sizes 5–12 and four colors) or the Point, pictured right, for $149 (available in sizes 5–12 and 18 colors/patterns).

Vivaia is a small shoe brand founded in 2020 with the mission to create stylish and high-quality footwear. Many of the brand's shoes are made from recycled water bottles, and they've implemented a production process that actively works to reduce waste.

Promising review: "So comfortable. I wore them almost every day during an eight-day trip to Italy. They stood up to walking 10+ miles a day, and I loved being able to wash and dry them quickly. They were also perfect for including in my relatively small backpack because they’re so lightweight." —Shirley L.

Get it from Vivaia for $79+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in 30 styles).

Promising review: "I normally don’t leave reviews for shoes, but these are one of the exceptions where I enjoy them so much that I have to leave the review. I have wide-width foot and it is very hard to find a pair of shoes that doesn’t require break-in period. This dress shoes not only cute, fashionable, but also surprisingly very comfortable. I took train to work so the trip requires me to walk and stand a lot. Right now it’s 4 p.m. and I still have the shoes on my feet. Good gracious lord. I might as well get another pair in red, because I love them too much!!" —Mama Panda

Get them from Amazon for $35.99 (available in sizes 5–10 and up to 11 colors)

BTW, reviewers with wide feet love these oxfords!

Promising reviews: "Don't hesitate any further, just buy them! I am super picky about shoes, especially sandals, and these are so comfortable. I wore them for hours walking around downtown and no blisters, no discomfort, nothing. They look amazing, too!" —Summer

"I wear them with most of my shorts to go out on the evening. Great for comfort to walk in for miles. Love them so much." —Shelley Baugh

Get them from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes 5.5–11 and in 22 colors).

Promising review: "I bought these boots for a trip to London and Dublin. Knowing there would be lots of rain, I needed something to keep my feet dry. I was concerned about the comfort of wearing a rain boot. These boots did not disappoint. They were actually so much more comfortable than I could have imagined. They didn’t rub like some of the booties do. We walked 10 miles a day, right out the package. No blisters or discomfort. I would recommend them to anyone. You must wear socks with them, so plan for sizing accordingly. I logged 40K steps in these boots and now use them as daily barn boots. Great price and great product, cute too." —Kindra Nyberg

Promising reviews: "I walk a few miles a day commuting to my job and needed a sandal that would be comfortable, professional, and durable. These do the trick. I comfortably walked six miles in them yesterday. They have a slight amount of cushion, and the straps are the perfect tension. The honey brown color is beautiful and goes with everything. Absolutely recommend." —Kate Johnson

Get them from Amazon for $16.72+ (available in sizes 5–15, including wide sizes, and six colors).

If you're between sizes, most reviewers say you should size up, otherwise they might fit too tightly!

Promising reviews: "If you have never been to Mardi Gras in New Orleans, let me just say it gets a little gross. The streets I mean. The best thing about these shoes is that you can wash them off, and they are just like new. I washed them in the sink every day, and they always kept me dry and vomit free. I walked for miles and miles a day, and they never hurt my feet. No blisters or soggy socks from the rain or drunk people juice. I even wore them on my float in the Morpheus parade where standing for five or six hours throwing beads can be a big ask for my feet and shoes. You may just need something for gardening or rainy days, but these are Mardi Gras-approved so I think they can handle whatever you got going on." —Bonita Blackwell

"These are wonderful. I was looking for a waterproof shoe to walk the shelter pups in the rain. These fit snug to not let water in and have good thick sole and are so comfortable. I can walk the miles I need to every day and not hurt my feet." —Sammy

Get them from Amazon for $34.99 (available in sizes 6–11 and 14 prints). These come in a tall boot form, too!

Argentinian shoemakers handcraft each pair of Zou Xou Shoes, and it's a Black woman-owned business! They use European sizes and recommend ordering a size up: for example, if you typically wear a 7.5 (which usually converts to 38), order a 39.

Promising reviews: "These shoes are great! The leather is soft and comfortable — no breaking in necessary." —Eileen chao

"These shoes are very high quality and feel like butter every time I put them on. They only took two wears to break in and are one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned." —gingerbread24

Get them from Zou Xou Shoes on Etsy for $254 (available in European sizes 36-42).

Many reviewers recommend sizing up!

Promising reviews: "I wear these literally EVERY DAY — those shoes you slip on to dash out the door. If I could live in flip-flops, I would, and these Reefs are the best. Durable, with a slight arch support. I've tried to walk a day in those super flat, super minimal flip-flops, and cannot do it. Reefs have a good cushion, and will last an entire summer or more (depending on how much you wear them, of course). These are my daily, reliable shoe in the summer." —Graciebird

"The comfiest shoe ever. I've literally walked 15 miles a day in the shoe and didn't get feet cramps like I normally do. Love, love, love this product!" —GBB

Get them from Amazon for $25.02+ (available in sizes 5–12 and eight colors).

They have the APMA Seal of Acceptance, so you can feel even more confident they're good for your feet!

Promising reviews: "There's a reason these are not the cheapest flip-flops on the market...I can wear these for MILES with zero issues. I can even run in these, though I don't really recommend that. They are so comfortable to wear, and do not fatigue my feet like basic flip-flops do. I cannot recommend these enough!!" —AK

"Love these! They look like a classic simple pair of black flip-flops but are sooo comfortable. I wore them my whole European vacation, which included hours spent walking around Venice, Florence, etc. and not a single blister!" —Kerr

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Rachel Dunkel also owns and *hearts* these, and says: "The level of comfort in every Dansko shoe is nearly incomprehensible. The insole is somewhat hard, but in a remarkably good way that almost massages the arches of my feet when I walk. It's a unique feeling that requires a little getting used to, but once I did, holy moly, it was an eye-opening experience of what shoes can be. I know that sounds dramatic, but I'm not alone — the cult-status of Danskos is real and well-deserved. If you've been struggling to find a shoe that fully supports your feet all day, give these a try. They definitely don't look like they'd be the most stable, but I never feel more sure-footed than when I'm in my Danskos. These are my newest Danskos at a year and a half old, but looking at the sole, leather, and sturdy buckle, you know they're just at the beginning of their long life. I've yet to try Dansko's original clogs, but am running out of excuses not to!"

Promising review: "Accommodates my bunions, which make my foot a little wide; these shoes don't make my feet look super wide like some other clog brands that are great for wider feet, or feet with bunions. These are great with slacks, leggings and maxi dresses! I appreciate the adjustable strap, too, as my foot isn't wide all over, just wide at the toe box area. I like the lower heel-to-toe drop: higher heels put too much pressure on my toes. These will be great at work where I walk 6 miles a day in the hospital, as the foot bed is wonderfully cushioned, too. This shoe hits all the marks I look for in a shoe." —BlueSkyFine

Get them from Amazon for $99.23+ (available in sizes 4.5–12 and three colors).

FYI, these are best suited for narrow to medium-sized feet.

Promising review: "So, this was my second pair of Plaka sandals purchased this summer. The first pair was the slip-on flip-flop version (aqua/gray toe loop sandals), and they were so incredibly comfortable and cute that I decided to buy this pair with the heel strap for a trip to New Orleans (lots and lots of walking in high humidity). I literally got compliments on them everywhere we went, and they were so comfortable I could wear them all day walking miles and miles through the streets of New Orleans, and my feet didn't hurt (and that's a small miracle given I have arthritis). They are surprisingly durable, and the woven fabric tops are incredibly soft and comfy. Even when my feet swelled due to the heat and humidity in New Orleans, these were still pretty darn comfy as compared to other shoes I brought along on the trip. I highly recommend these sandals and plan to buy a few more pairs this spring." —UrbanUtah
