Leave those Band-Aids at home!

Sad, but true: Not all flats are comfortable! Sure, the very concept of a flat shoe would make you think that every single pair should be easy to walk in, but some are so flimsy, it feels like your arches have no support, and *don't* even get me started on the blister-causing ones that have to be broken in. My aching heels do not have the patience, so that's why I'm very strategic when shopping for only the most comfortable flats. I need a shoe that checks all the boxes. Something that's supportive, has a snug but not-to0-tight fit, and—most importantly—it's gotta be pretty!

Heels and sandals are cute and all, but great coverage and comfort will come from these 18 stylish flats. Below, you'll find the most cushiony, foot-hugging styles the internet has to offer, including trendy animal-printed pairs, chic woven mules, elevated loafers, and more.

Rothy's knows a thing or two about comfort since all their styles are made from the softest knit material created from recycled water bottles. Love that sustainability! Its newest Mary Jane style has a cute square toe and contrasting detail on the back. 

They might be called slippers, but you can really wear these textured guys anywhere since they have a durable sole. "The inside is made of soft beige leather, and the top is adorned with cashmere pom poms," according to the description, so what's not to love? 

Technically these have an extremely wedge, but it's so low, they're still flats! They have more than 6,500 ratings with 4.2 stars so you know the customers are obsessed. The back has a zipper for an easy off an on. No fidgeting with a buckle for the ankle strap! 

This style is one of Birdies' most popular. I mean, just peep the 3,000+ reviews. The plush lining inside will feel like heaven to your feet.

Meghan Markle loves these flats and so do the 500 customers who gave them a perfect 5-star review.  The extra padding on the footbed definitely helps. 

If you're in the market for a cute pair of rounded ballet flats with a bow, then, well, here you are.  Margaux is really known for its flats, and this style has 300+ perfect 5-star ratings. Don't mind if I try these out for myself! 

M Gemi's "Felize" loafers are some of the comfiest shoes you'll ever wear. Period. Go up a half size for the absolutely best fit, and this is one footwear purchase you won't regret. 

Wrap those toes up in a hug with these "glove" flats from Everlane that have an impressive 4.5-star rating and come in a variety of shades. 

Always love an affordable but still stylish option! These Amazon Essentials loafers are a quality pair that customers can't get enough of. 

A cute toe cap detail always looks good on flats. This Vionic pair has a patent leather one for some extra shine, as well as a dainty bow. The almost 800 people who reviewed this pair are definitely fans.

Nearly 200 reviewers agree that these slides are simply the BEST. The shock-absorbing sole and the buttery soft lining definitely help with the comfort factor of these gorgeous woven flats. 

The scrunchie-like slingback on these velvet flats will feel so nice on the back of your foot. Heaven. 

This best-selling style is so sleek and goes with everything from jeans to your fave floral dress. The padded insoles will ensure your feet feel good for all-day wear. 

These are, much like the product description, a dream. An editor-favorite, the soft leather and glove-like fit make these feel more like slippers and less like actual shoes. They come in a bunch of fun colors, are on sale right now, and might be gone fast, so you'll want to snag a pair fast!
