There’s nothing worse than a pair of uncomfortable shoes. Wear the wrong footwear, and your entire day or evening is ruined by blisters, aching arches and cramped toes. It’s why comfortable shoes like Birkenstocks, Crocs and sneakers became the footwear of choice for many during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

But as much of the U.S. begins returning to some version of normalcy — and white-collar workers prepare to return to their offices — the fashion experts at The New York Times predict that your Birks may be destined for the back of your closet. But if your stomach drops and your toes ache just at the sight of your old pumps and stilettos, it might be time to replace your office footwear with more comfortable alternatives.

I’ve been a devout lover of Naturalizer shoes for several years because they’re the only shoes I can stand to wear on the subway, around town and during a full day of work. I own several pairs of shoes from the brand (some were press gifts to road test, some I purchased on my own once I was convinced). I now own several pairs of Naturalizer shoes — from knee-high heeled boots and strappy heeled sandals perfect for weddings to snake print flatform sandals. And they’re some of the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever had the privilege of slipping my feet into.

Plus, I really love the brand because most of their shoe styles also come in wide-width sizes, so you can find exactly the fit you need.

Lucky for you, there are surprisingly a lot of Naturalizer shoes on sale right now across the internet, so you can mentally prepare for a full day of wearing dressy shoes outside your house. Though there are a lot of great shoes on sale, these Naturalizer Mali L heeled pumps are worth browsing. They’re available in sizes 4.5 to 12, as well as wide-width sizes, and can be dressed up or down, making them a great addition to any closet.
