Indulging in some of the biggest shoe trends of the season doesn't have to be painful. In fact, for Fall 2019, our top picks for the footwear that you're about to see absolutely everywhere is more comfortable than many a season's past . . . and we are certainly not complaining! While sneakers are still a staple of every chic woman's wardrobe (and ultimately top the list of most comfortable shoes for fall), we've rounded out a list of flats and heels alike that will keep your toes (nearly!) as happy as they are in bedtime slippers. From chunky heels to backless slides, ballet flats, and ankle booties alike, here are the top nine most comfortable shoe trends for Fall 2019.

Sneakers

Paramount is the sneaker, of course. The most comfortable of the bunch, this athletic-inspired pair of kicks has also been a huge seasonless trend for the past few years and shows no signs of stopping, anytime soon . . . lucky for all of us. We particularly love low-tops, which feel classic and un-fussy at the same time. Slip into them with anything from a silk midi to your most distressed jeans.

Backless Slides

They're basically like slippers . . . for the outside world. Need we say more?

Low, Block Heels

For the classic design heel-lovers out there, try to opt for a slightly lower block heel when it comes to your footwear this Fall. Sure, we love the elongated line of a sky-high stiletto but, when you're running around the city all day, you'll be glad you opted for the chunkier of the bunch instead.

Especially as we enter Fall, make sure that you have a few pairs of ankle booties on hand. Reach for the classics in tan and black, but then add a bit of color or pattern to the mix for a more whimsical take on the trend this season.

If you are looking for a higher heel that's not going to make you feel off-balance come hour eight in the office, look for a pair of heeled mules. Backless they might be, but that single thick strap over your entire foot makes sure that you're snugly attached to your footwear of choice, all day and night.

Serving much of the same purpose as a backless mule, with even more top-of-foot support than the more skin-baring sister, a heeled loafer will infuse a little prep in your step, while keeping your toes happy for the duration.

Ballet Flats

And then, of course, the flats. Whether youthful ballets or elegant pointed-toes, a gorgeous pair of flats will allow you to hit the ground running (quite literally), while still looking tailored to perfection.

For a full-coverage option that you can just slip into and go, we're loving the preppier loafer trend for Fall. Giving off a classic 1970s vibe with just as much hardware as you're seeking, loafers are a great and comfortable morning, noon, and night addition to your wardrobe this Fall.

Combat Boots

Combat Boots

With roots in actual combat, it's a sure thing that these combat-meets-moto-boots are among the most comfortable shoe trends for Fall. What's more, in jeans or a cocktail dress, it's a one-and-done way to add a little edge to your overall look.
