Comfortable footwear is essential, but wouldn’t it be nice if it also looked good? It’s so hard to find a good shoe that accomplishes both.

If you’re looking for functional footwear that’s still appropriate to wear outside the home, you’re in luck, because there are actually a good number of shoes out there that allow you to feel as if you’re wearing slippers while still making you look good.

Check out these eight super-comfy and fashion-forward picks:

1. Birkenstock Sandals

Now the iconic sandals are back in style, and they even come in totally “now” colors, like this rose gold copper shade. They’re available at Nordstrom for $124.95.
