Best Comfortable Shoes for Spring for Women Over 60

Spring is the perfect time to trade in our heavy boots for something lighter and more comfortable. But finding shoes that feel good and look great isn’t always easy, especially for my aging feet. As we get older, support and cushioning matter more than ever, and my bunion requires a softer shoe, preferably with stretch to ease over the joint. Whether you’re running errands, meeting friends for lunch, or out on a walk enjoying the sunshine, a comfy pair of shoes that feel stylish will keep your feet happy all season long without sacrificing style.

SNEAKERS

You know how important comfy shoes are for me, and these Brittany Knit Sneakers did not disappoint me! They’re part of the T by Talbots collection, which is a reliably comfortable and sporty collection that fits your active lifestyle. These sneakers have a memory foam footbed (yay!) with arch support, but their most important feature to me is that the upper is a knit that stretches and doesn’t pinch my bunion. I took my regular size 9.5, and they fit like a dream. I don’t even have to untie them to slip them on! These come in 4 colors, sizes 5-11. If you want a real slip-on shoe, they also make this slip-on sneaker in the same material.

If you love a clean, simple sneaker with minimal branding, this Oasis sneaker from Vince is a winner. The soft leather feels great, and the cushioned insole makes it easy to wear all day. Pair them with jeans, joggers, or a tee-shirt dress for an easy spring outfit.

Although Munro is going out of business this year, they’re still offering new styles for 2025. These Munro slip-on sneakers are lightweight, breathable, and super comfortable. The perforated design keeps your feet cool, and Munro’s is known for its great support and multiple-width options so that you can find the perfect fit. It’s an easy, everyday sneaker that works well for travel or running errands.

If you have bad feet or plantar fasciitis, the Bondi 9s are a game-changer. The thick sole absorbs impact, which is great if you’re on your feet a lot or deal with foot pain. It’s surprisingly lightweight for such a cushy shoe and gives great support for long walks or all-day wear.

BALLET FLATS AND LOAFERS

I’m a big fan of these Ilse Jacobsen shoes and have them in several colors. I recently tossed 2 pairs in the washer, and they came out clean as a whistle. I removed the insoles and let them dry outside, which only took a few hours. They come in a rainbow of colors…but of course, I own some neutrals :).

I have several pairs of Demi flats from the Margaux brand. The soft leather molds to your foot, and the supportive insole ensures you won’t be wishing for a different shoe by the end of the day. They now come in this gorgeous woven pattern, which is perfect for warmer weather.

The “Fisherman Aesthetic” is a classic, preppy look that’s big this spring. That means nautical-inspired pieces, like boat shoes, are having a moment. Vionic’s Bay Loafer Boat Shoes have built-in arch support, a cushioned footbed, and an easy slip-on design, so they’re a great way to get the look while staying comfortable.

SANDALS

My Ecco Flowt sandals are the most comfortable sandals I own…and that’s saying a lot. The velcro straps allow me to adjust for a secure fit across the top of my foot, and the footbed is a dream to walk on. This is my second year in these sandals as well, and they’ve held up beautifully. They have a very cushiony sole, arch support, and velcro securely to my ankle, so I don’t have to grip my toes to keep them on. I find nude shoes much more user-friendly than any other color because they coordinate with everything.

These Slide Sandals are an easy, stylish pick for spring and summer. With its slip-on design, it’s perfect for errands, brunch, or any casual outing. Pair them with a skirt, white denim, or a sundress.

A friend of mine swears these Archies Arch Support Flip Flops are the most comfortable she’s ever worn—she even uses them as house shoes! With built-in arch support and a cushioned footbed, they’re perfect for everything from running errands to heading to the pool, or just relaxing at home.

**Munro Conner Ankle Strap Platform Sandal**

This platform sandal is one of those warm-weather shoes that looks great and feels even better. The cushioned footbed keeps your feet comfy all day, while the adjustable ankle strap ensures they stay secure without slipping around. It’s the perfect mix of style and comfort for sunny days!
