Got a spring in your step? You will after you check out this mega sale. (Amazon)
Now that Spring is here, it's the perfect excuse to give your wardrobe a refresh. (At least, that's the excuse I'm using.) And lucky for us, I'm not just a shopping enthusiast, I'm also a shopping editor — so it's my job to know about the best sales, discounts and deals happening at any given time. During the Amazon Big Spring Sale I've been particularly eyeing the fantastic shoe deals, which include many pairs that are at a 40% discount or more. So it's time to run off with a whole boatload of kicks, and while the sale lasts, even come back for some more.
I dug through the many deals and zeroed in on shoes worth your money. These picks have been approved by podiatrists and other experts. Want to know what I found? This pair of walking shoes for just $28 and a pair of Jennifer Garner's beloved Asics sneakers for over 30% off. But not all comfy, expert-approved shoes are sneakers. You can snag these supportive block heels from Oprah's favorite shoe brand that are also close to 40% off.
The Amazon sale ends after March 31, so hop to it if there's a pair of expert-approved shoes that you're eyeing. Some colors and sizes are already selling out.
Available in over 40 colors and styles, these flip-flops are the no-pain, no-brainer companion your tootsies need for every season.
Ugg makes more than just great boots, and these supremely cloud-like tootsie-toasters are proof.
If you're not into white, there are 21 other colors ready to adorn your tired dogs.
These cushy walking sneakers come in 33 colors and have received perfect five-star ratings from nearly 20,000 Amazon customers.
These slip-ins have a solid rubber sole with an air cushion to put some extra pep in your step, plus a perforated arch that allows for ventilation and breathability while lending plenty of support. More than 25,000 Amazon shoppers rave about them, podiatrists approve of them too.
"Stability, or support, is probably the most important quality of a sneaker or any other shoe that someone will wear if they are to be on their feet for more than a few minutes at a time," Richard H. Graves, a podiatrist with Sol Foot & Ankle Centers in Longwood, California, tells Yahoo. And these sneakers have support in spades.
"I saw these on a waitstaff person when eating out," shared a raving reviewer. "I asked her about them and she said how much she loved them and wrote down the information to order on Amazon. I was excited when my order arrived. Sure enough, these are like putting on slippers. I could walk in these all day!"
Another pair of podiatrist-loved sneakers, these easy-breezy babies have dropped down to their all-time low price of $29. We even named them the best breathable option in our roundup of the best slip-on sneakers.
Lightweight and flexible, these shoes are made with a mesh upper and have a wide toe box for an extra-roomy fit. They're basically like wearing your favorite socks, but more supportive. The outsole has an air bubble — which board-certified podiatrist Dr. Polina Zaydenberg says is "a great shock absorber" — and the chunky rubber sole provides "plenty of cushioning." The wide toebox accommodates bunions and hammertoes too.
"I am a teacher with both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis," a shopper noted. "I did not know it was possible to come home without foot and leg pain. I wear them every day and will not wear anything else. I have always taken my shoes off as soon as I get home, but I choose to keep these on because they fell better than barefoot."
The ultra-cushioned insole of these kicks adds comfort and helps you achieve softer landings to prevent injuries. Another plus? They come in so many cute colors.
I've got two words for you: arch and support. In fact, this shoe's insole system is so good at its job that it's podiatrist-certified. These easy, breezy slip-on sneakers made our 2025 list of most comfortable walking shoes for women because of their extra reinforcement in the arch.
Podiatric Surgeon Dana Canuso is a fan of these Skechers because "they are cute and offer great arch support — perfect for everyday wear!" They feature cushy, shock-absorbent insoles, a heel pillow and grippy rubber outsoles.
Comfy shoes for vacation are a must, especially if you're hitting more than 10K steps a day. I'm obsessed with these not only because they're cute, but because they're recommended by travel expert Samantha Brown, the two-time Emmy Award-winning host of Places to Love. These breezy FitFlop slip-ins are Brown's go-to airport shoe. "They put a lot of technology behind their soles, whether on their boots, sneakers or sandals," she says of the brand. "They are my go-to across the board!"
This pair bears the brand's iQushion midsole, which means they're infused with air foam for ergonomic flexibility and cushioning that quite literally puts a spring in your step. It's a versatile look that'll go with most of the outfits you've packed too.
As someone who owns one too many white sneakers, I'm thrilled to see a pair that offers more than just style on sale for 25% off. Dr. Polina Zaydenberg is a big fan of the Carina's base. "The platform is good for people with insertional Achilles tendonitis," she says. Translation: You're experiencing pain and inflammation at the back of your foot, where that tendon meets the heel bone. "Elevating your heel is relaxing the Achilles tendon, and it provides less tension in the area of concern," Zaydenberg adds.
Sporty, chic and chunky, these kicks are made entirely of soft, supple leather. You'll want to wear these with everything: leggings, jeans, even skirts and dresses.
Whenever I slide my feet into a pair of loafers, I suddenly feel like a grownup who can take on the world. These Cole Haans have the same effect. Brown calls them "classic and elegant" and says the brand uses "a lot of technology in their soles." If you've been meaning to feel like a grown-up too, you can snag this pair at over 40% off.
There's a foam-padded footbed — an important comfort feature to look for in shoes that you expect to go the distance — and an EVA outsole for grip.
Travel expert Samantha Brown told us that this is one of the comfiest travel shoes she's ever worn, noting that the rounded toe box is a standout feature and the half-inch heel adds some arch support, which most ballet flats tend to lack.
"I can just slip [it] on and not worry about the insole coming apart," another fan on Amazon wrote, further proving that this is worth the investment.
Looking for the comfort of Birkenstocks but don't want to spend a big chunk of change? Check out these lookalikes that are more than 40% off. Not just a budget-friendly pair of sandals, Zaydenberg says these Cushionaire's are a great pick for people with metatarsalgia (pain and inflammation in the ball of your foot) and plantar fasciitis.
They have adjustable straps, a flexible cork footbed and a soft suede insole that contours to your foot. You can choose from 20 colors.
Look, I will risk permanent foot damage for a good pair of heels — but I'd rather avoid it. And I can with these. Every pair of Vionics is specifically designed by a team of podiatrists for extra support and comfort, especially for those with plantar fasciitis, pronation, flat feet and general pain.
Dr. Hillary Brenner, DPM at NYC Private Medical, is a big fan of the brand because they are “the most supportive out of a variety of sandals, and they have good arch support.” Every shoe is certified by the American Podiatric Medical Association, so you can trust that these — which are nearly 40% off — are legit.
With a low block heel of 2.5 inches, these are comfy enough to wear to a wedding (where you're obviously dancing all night) or casually with jeans and a tee.
A variety of styles from New Balance's Fresh Foam line have popped up on our "best" lists — we even named one the most comfortable women's running shoe this year. However, it's this particular pair that caught our eye for Prime Day at a nice 25% off. With 11 colors available, there's a style (or two, or three) for everyone (prices vary).
Crafted for running and all-day wear, they're made with a knit mesh upper and a durable rubber outsole that offers great traction. Meanwhile, the Fresh Foam X Midsole creates a cushioned and comfortable experience.
"These shoes are very comfortable," declared a happy Amazon shopper. "As a dental assistant, I'm up and down and running around all day. These shoes make my day more enjoyable by keeping my feet more comfortable. They are very light and I love how they look. Would recommend."
