As the temperatures soar and the gloom goes away, spending more time outdoors is inevitable. And you know what else is, too? A higher step count.

Whether you’re taking a daily stroll along the beach or planting flowers outside, you’ll likely be on your feet more. Instead of splurging on some summer-ready sandals, picking up a cushioned pair of walking shoes might be a smarter solution.

Fortunately, Amazon’s got a wide selection of such kicks: We found slip-on sneakers from Skechers, a brand Martha Stewart recently collaborated with; cool styles from Tretorn, which Reese Witherspoon wore as a child; and other plush pairs from Dr. Scholl’s. Plus, they’re all $40 or less now.

One hard-and-fast rule when it comes to walking shoes? They need to be comfortable. And the Skechers Go Walk Sneakers are definitely that. They have a breathable knit upper, and “the foam in the sole is heavenly,” according to one shopper. They’re also designed without laces, so you can put them on faster, and they made one shopper’s arches feel like they were “getting massaged” with each step. The sneakers are available in sizes 5 to 13 and 16 colors.

If you want a sneaker like the pair Brooke Shields just wore, try these shoes from Dr. Scholl’s. They still have a platform for height, but the bottoms don’t look as rugged or rough, giving them a cleaner appearance. The snakeskin pattern also makes them look less sporty and more dressy. Plus, they’re up to 53 percent off today.

“I wore them every day for five weeks while in France,” said one shopper.  “I walked over 130 miles and never had an issue.”

Another customer-loved pick is Alicegana Walking Sneakers. They’ve been purchased more than 200 times in the last month, and have over 7,000 perfect ratings to back them up. They look more like an athletic sneaker, rather than a tennis shoe, and provide plenty of support. Plus, they’re machine-washable if you’re someone who scuffs up your kicks quickly. Shoppers say they “feel as lightweight as paper,” and are “more comfortable” than Nike shoes.
