Picking travel shoes can be a tricky endeavor. On one hand, you’ll be walking miles upon miles and will want something comfy and durable. On the other hand, you’ll likely be taking lots of photos and would prefer not to have a pair of bulky, orthopedic sneakers featured in every shot. Lucky for us, there are so many great travel shoe options today. With the rise of athleisure (halleluiah!) in addition to designers taking into account comfort along with style, the travel shoe options are limitless. These eight are our favorite.

 

Veja Sneakers

If you haven’t seen these sneakers all over the internet, where have you been? On a social media detox? If so, we commend you, but seriously, you need to know about Veja Sneakers. Our Editors love them because they are comfortable and versatile. No matter which style you choose, you can go from the airport to dinner without digging in your suitcase for a different pair of shoes—seriously, they go with everything.

We especially love their flats because you can wear them comfortably while traveling all day long and then elevate any outfit with them once you get to your destination.

Perfect for a beach trip or a warm-weather getaway, Soludos are easily packable, comfortable, and lightweight. Like traditional espadrilles, the sole of the shoe is made of rope. The company has done a number of collaborations with other designers—all the prints and styles are funky and unique. If you’re more of a neutral gal, rest assured there are plenty of classic prints as well.

Dr. Scholl’s Slip-On Sneaker

We know, we know! Dr. Scholl’s isn’t typically a brand we associate with cute travel shoes, but this pair defies the stereotype. Their slip-on sneaker is a neutral, simple shoe you can easily pair with just about any outfit. They also house a memory foam insole that your feet will thank you for.

Winter travel tends to complicate footwear choices (will these boots fit in my bag? Will these flats be warm enough?), but the Sam Edelman Bootie is the perfect answer. The small heel dresses them up without compromising on comfort.
