When it comes to looking stylish and feeling comfortable, no one seems to do it better than Oprah Winfrey. This is why all of us at Prevention jump for joy when she releases her annual Favorite Things listfilled with affordable and fashionable footwear picks like comfy slippers and shoes.

This year we’ve got our eyes on Oprah’s favorite sneaker, the Saysh One, designed by “the most decorated American track-and-field Olympian, Allyson Felix,” said Winfrey on her list for Oprah Daily.

The sneakers are made with woven jacquard textiles and microsuede materials that make them breathable and great for everyday wear. They're also lightweight and super comfortable to walk in thanks to their unique one-piece molded heels, which feature foam padding for extra cushioning.

“It’s all about comfort for walking shoes,” said Dan Giordano, D.P.T., C.S.C.S., co-founder and director of physical therapy at Bespoke Treatments in New York City, in a previous interview for Prevention.com. “Look for something that doesn’t push your foot into the shoe, gives you room in the toe area, and keeps your heel secure,” he explained.

And that is what you’ll find while wearing the Saysh One sneakers. They provide neutral support and are best for daily activities, walking on roads, or for general, all-day comfort. And Winfrey is known for spending time outdoors hiking or walking, so we can trust that these sneakers are the real deal if they get her seal of approval.

“Her brand Saysh is created for women by women, so the styles pay particular attention to the form of the female foot,” said Winfrey. “For us regular folk, Allyson’s created an everyday style that’s comfy, supportive, and lightweight,” she added.

What makes the sneakers even more remarkable is that they’re crafted with foam cushioning inside the tongue, which helps to reduce lace pressure and irritation on the foot, according to the brand. They also have an ultra-soft microsuede interior lining and removable sock liners.

The shoes are currently available in black and white on Amazon, but you can also shop for more sizes, and a beautiful colorway called hearth rose on Athleta.com.

“I ordered both black and white in this sneaker,” wrote one customer. “I couldn’t be happier with them, they’re probably the most comfortable sneaker I’ve ever worn. I went up a half size because of reviews, but they feel and look great.”

With Winfrey’s praise and stellar customer reviews, we're stocking up on these sneakers this holiday season—they make for the perfect wellness gift.
