This holiday season, the PEOPLE shopping team has all sorts of plans: My coworker Jeaneen Russell is likely heading off to Disneywhile I plan on doing lots of cooking, shopping, and decorating. And some of our other coworkers will be traveling.

At face-value, these plans all look very different, yet they share common ground — lots of walking and time spent with our feet on the ground. In other words, we’re all going to need someverycomfortable shoes.

Rather than trial and error, we may just opt for the Birdies loafers Meghan Markle actually wore during a trip to “The Happiest Place on Earth” earlier this summer. Or, another one of these loafer flats that are as little as $19.

Comfortable Shoes to Shop Now

Birdies The Starling

Markle wore these exact PEOPLE Tested and editor-approved slippers two days in a row and experienced nothing but “pure joy.” TL;DR: These comfy shoes demonstrated all-day comfort and durability — seemingly sans foot pain. To us, that sounds like the ideal shoe to get us through the holiday season. Plus, the black suede adds a snazzy touch that would look polished at festive parties or dressy celebrations.

Amazon Essentials Loafer Flat

This $23 Amazon pair looks like pricier options from J.Crew and Steve Maddenaccording to shoppers, and they’re even suitable for a teacher’s assistant who is “standing and walking five hours a day.” They also have a heel pillow so you don’t get painful blisters on the go, along with padding that makes them feel like you’re “walking on a cloud,” shared a second shopper.

Vivaia Water-Repellent Square-Toe Samantha Walker Loafers

If your feet started sweating at just the sight of the word “suede,” these shoes may be a breathable option. In fact, they are made with the same knit material that one of our testers described as “airy,” and water-resistant, meaning unexpected showers won’t ruin your day or shoes, at that. They also feature a roomy toe box that won’t further irritate bunions.
