Made from flexible knit fabric with a lightweight rubber sole, these classic-style round-toe flats are also available in a fun rainbow of hues.

A timeless strappy pump will go a long way. In addition to the ankle strap that you can adjust to fit your feet comfortably, the 2.25-inch block heel adds some height without going overboard, and the latex insole provides cushioning for your feet.

"After an evening of dining and dancing, I thought I might have some aches and swelling, but not in these shoes! I was extremely comfortable and couldn't help admiring them all night long."

Loafers are taking over, and for good reason. The traditional style works in various settings, and they'll never go out of style. This shoe features Dr. Scholl's proprietary insole technology, which delivers optimal cushioning and support for your feet. "I suffer from sciatica and bad knees, and these help me walk comfortably," one customer shared, adding that they "have gotten so many compliments on them." "After 8 hours I still felt like I was walking on air," a second reviewer noted.
