These are the shoes I own and use everyday!!
I've been running on and off for years and my go to has always been new balance - no breaking in period and super supportive. They're also a super comfy travel shoe.
New Balance
I feel like this makes every granola girl rec list - but for a reason, they are hugely versatile and stand up to the elements. I've taught preschool, gone hiking, traveling, and more all in these blundstones.
Women's Classics #585
In complete honesty I was a huge Chaco gal until this summer, but the lower price point and fun colors drew me into these Tevas! They've been great for hiking and I find them to be a better water shoe than Chaco.
Women's Hurricane XLT2 Sandal
I've always had a difficult time finding trail running shoes because I have a narrow heel and a wide foot - but these have fit perfectly! Its also a great low profile shoe that doesn't make my feet feel heavy.
Women's Superior 7
If you live in a damp and rainy climate these are amazing!! No notes, water proof and comfortable - go wade in a creek and look for rocks, your feet won't be getting wet.

These are the shoes I don't own but have come highly recommended from my other granola friends.
I have heard amazing things about Bogs - and as someone who usually ends up in mud, water, or ice slush having a warm and waterproof boot is amazing.

Comfy, durable, slip on - need I say more?
Bedrock Sandals Mountain Clogs - Leather Suede | REI Co-op
Another bedrock option - but honestly heard amazing things about them. I have friends that run, hike, and stroll with no issues in these sandals.

Another warm and cozy slip on for cold nights at camp. Love the earthy tones they come in.
Women's ReEmber Camp Slip On
I've lived in places that consistently stay in the low single digits of below zero so a waterproof, warm boot that makes snowshoeing fun.
