You don't have to be an athlete to benefit from the best comfortable sneakers for women! A supportive pair of kicks might have a sporty reputation, but they're essential for everyone, whether you're looking for walking shoes, shoes for standing all day, or are just something easy to wear while you run errands around town. Plus, fashion-wise, comfortable sneakers are everywhere these days and they go with just about any outfit—you can pair them with your favorite jeans and warm leggings, of course, but it's also becoming more and more common for that trendy high-low vibe to pair with your favorite floral dress, too.

Even Ree Drummond, who might be partial to cowboy boots, loves a good pair of sneakers when she's kicking around the ranch or filming episodes of The Pioneer Woman at home. (No one sees the bottom half of your outfit on camera 😂). Looking for your own comfortable sneakers? Maryland-based podiatrist Priya Parthasarathy, DPM, says you should look for shoes that are sturdy—you shouldn't be able to bend them completely in half. They should also have a removable insole (bonus points if it's memory foam!) and a firm, supportive heel counter (the back part of the shoe). Flip through this gallery to find your ideal pair of comfortable sneakers, but you really can't go wrong with any of these options. They're all cute and comfy, and you can wear them with anything! Bonus: We included both Ree's favorite sneakers and Alex's favorite sneakers!
