The Best Walking Shoes for Travel
What to Consider When Shopping for Travel Footwear
When buying a pair of travel shoes, there are a number of factors to take into consideration to ensure a comfortable fit. Starting with the footbed, you’ll want a style with some sort of cushioned midsole for arch support. “Shoes with specifically engineered footbeds and molded EVA midsoles are designed to help mitigate foot, heel, and arch for superior comfort and support,” Dr. Miguel Cunha, DPM, explains, adding that this will prevent fatigue and pain later on in the day. A roomy toe box, meanwhile, can help prevent the chances of blisters by “allowing your toes to move freely with no restrictions, therefore minimizing discomfort,” he continues. Dr. Cunha also highlights that the foot swells throughout the day, so this extra wiggle room will come in handy.
In terms of materials, opt for styles with durable fabrics like leather and rubber. Not only will they last, but they’ll also create a stable and secure fit, which can help with traction (and you’ll definitely need it for slick or bumpy terrains. According to Dr. Cunha, this durability combined with the proper cushioning will deliver optimal shock absorption, resulting in advanced motion control, minimized fatigue, and a smoother transition from heel strike to toe-off when walking. If your feet are prone to overheating, look for travel shoes with breathable liners and uppers that will promote ventilation and minimize sweat.
There is one more important element that sets an average pair of travel shoes apart from the best travel shoes: versatility. If the same kicks can take you effortlessly from shopping to a six-hour walking tour to dinner, sans blisters, you’re set. We know it’s a ludicrous ask, but planning to wear only the pair on your feet makes it much easier to pack everything else to match. Plus, those five just-in-case pairs of shoes are often what add the most weight to your luggage. Wouldn’t you rather have the extra suitcase space to pick up a few souvenir pairs?

Below, we’ve rounded up the very best walking shoes for travel in every style category. Oh, and one last suggestion: A weekend staycation is a great way to break in your new favorite travel shoes before you go.
Best Casual Sneaker: Allbirds Wool Runner

Allbirds’ superfine merino wool sneakers give you the best of both worlds with the feel of a slipper and the look of a sneaker. You get all the coziness of wool without any of the scratchiness. Plus, the outsole’s unique “S-curve” was designed to distribute your weight more naturally, making them equally as supportive as they are soft. According to one reviewer, it’s great for anyone who is “on their feet 90 percent of the day.” If you’re usually a half-size, the brand recommends sizing up. Also, if you generally find you need more arch support for long days spent on your feet, we recommend replacing the insole with a podiatrist-recommended insert, like the Superfeet Premium Green Insoles.

Save precious suitcase space with a shoe that can take you from day to night. Everlane — one of Angelina Jolie’s go-to brands for travel shoes — makes this modern Day Glove flat with buttery, molds-to-your-foot leather that pairs well with jeans, skirts, business attire, and beyond. They’ve even got durable rubber soles for a slip-free grip and side vents to keep your feet from overheating. Plenty of reviewers vouched for its out-of-the-box comfort, as well as its durability. “I wear these so often and always keep an older pair in my tote just in case,” one shopper wrote. “These shoes are so well made. Mine have been in rain, snow, sleet, and hail and all look great.”

OluKai’s criss-crossed leather pair has an anatomically built footbed that feels better and better with every wear, and the toe loop and adjustable ankle strap will keep your foot secure. It comes in six color options, and we love this gold and leather combo. One shopper raved, “These are the only shoes I can wear all day long without insoles that don’t cause me any foot pain. I wore them back to back to different theme parks (10-plus hours walking both days!) and had no pain whatsoever.”

The Ecco Soft 7 has been a traveler favorite for a while, and for good reason: It delivers on arch support and high-quality materials with simple, Scandinavian style. Though its supple leather upper is available in eight colorways — from floral prints to metallics — keep in mind that when packing, neutrals will be the easiest to work with. “Comfortable right out of the box,” one Zappos customer reported. “Took these on a recent trip where I walked miles daily. No pinching, no slipping, no discomfort whatsoever.”

Both the sneaker and the removable insole are machine-washable, too. Some reviewers even go so far as to dub it “the best walking shoe.” “I wear them daily,” shared one shopper. “I have no more heel pain and I get so many compliments. They wash beautifully.”

The footbeds have 3 millimeters of extra padding for all-day walkability, and the 1-inch block heel is inset a bit to keep your steps from feeling clunky. Not only is it excellent for traveling, but reviewers say that it makes a great work shoe, especially if your job requires a lot of standing. “It’s hard to find a shoe that both looks cute, and is comfortable,” one explained. “Working 8 to 10-hour weddings is tough when sneakers are ‘unprofessional.’ Enter Rosie: the shirt black heel makes it possible to roam wedding halls and venues in comfort while still looking like a put-together wedding expert.”

Pebbled driving soles soften each step in M.Gemi’s hand-crafted Felize moccasin. We’re into this neutral mustard yellow this season, but there are dozens of other colors available. “These are really sweet,” one shopper raved. “Soft, they snug to your feet perfectly… even with high arches.” In our experience, they fit perfectly true to size from day one, but if there’s any chance of rain where you’re headed or if you plan to spend some time exploring less-than-pristine city sidewalks (sorry, New York City), we recommend you pre-treat them with a waterproofing spray.
