20 Pairs Of Comfy Shoes For All Of Your Summer Travels
Croc platforms that *may* just be cute enough to convert the Never Croc-er™ amongst us. They're ultra-comfortable, waterproof, and can take a serious beating, too, if you need to shove them in your backpack's exterior water bottle pouch because you bought more souvenirs than anticipated.
Quick-drying Teva sandals with a grippy outsole that makes them ideal for all sorts of outdoor activities. One reviewer says they averaged 17,000 steps per day on their last trip and were the only one in their group to not get blisters, thanks to these bbs!
Or some extra water-friendly Tevas (they float!) *so* dang comfortable and lightweight, reviewers say they work beautifully for flat feet ~and~ super-high arches as well as swollen pregnant feet and even those with tendinitis.
Water-resistant Dr. Scholl's slip-on sneakers you can slide on and off in a snap whether you're going through security or just don't have the patience to fuss with shoelaces. Travelers swear by them for their wide toe box, cushioning, flexibility, and removable (aka replaceable) insoles, which one reviewer with plantar fasciitis calls a game-changer!
Super springy Hoka Clifton 9's which provide soft and even cushioning so your feet won't be any worse for wear even after a day of 20,000+ steps.
Birkenstocks Arizona sandals so good, that they've gone practically unchanged since they first started popping up on people's feet in 1973.
Reebok Club C Sneakers that 1) are hella comfy and 2) match just about everything so you have no excuse to pack multiple sets of shoes when one can do the job.
Rothy's slingbacks knit with the brand's supremely comfortable signature thread (which is spun from plastic bottles) that's freaking WASHABLE!!! The second they get ~funky,~ you can just pop out the cushy insoles and toss the shoes into the washing machine for a refresh.
Thesus Weekend Boots — the ideal choice for adventure travelers everywhere thanks to their seam-sealed water-resistant upper, anti-slip rubber lug sole, and temperature-control lining. While they're perf for hikes and other demanding activities, the versatile design lends itself just as well to brunch, window shopping, and putzing around town.
Reviewer-loved flatforms that are *so* comfortable and cute, people just keep returning to buy more colors. Luckily, there are dozens to choose from, so they won't soon run out.
Allbirds Tree Runners should you be the type of person who says "It's only 25 minutes away?? We can totally walk there!" even if you forget you're spending time in the suburbs and not NYC.
Everlane Italian leather "glove" flats that've won over thousands of reviewers thanks to their buttery soft leather design, which eventually molds to the wearer's foot for a custom-like fit.
Handwoven Plaka sandals with stretch-to-fit nylon straps sure to be your foot's BFF — not nemesis.
Simple flats that are easy to slip on and off at the airport and take up next to no room in your bag so you can go ahead and pack that sweater that you def won't need on your Caribbean trip but... like... what if you do and then you regret not bringing it??
Strappy flip-flops for those ready to graduate from Old Navy $1 flip-flops and onto something bigger and better (read: more durable). Baby steps, grasshopper, baby steps.
Iconic Chaco sandals with completely customizable straps so even if someone steps on the back of your shoe, you'll never step out of it! OFC half the fun of these is being left with a signature zig-zagged tan line that says, "Yes, I was vacationing somewhere warm." 😌
Handmade leather sandals that offer a barefoot feel. 🦶 While they're available in standard sizes, there's also an option to get them custom-made if you have particularly narrow or wide feet!
Ergonomic FitFlops if you're simply *not* a sneaker person and are looking for a supportive alternative that lets your dogs breathe. These featherlight sandals are designed with air foam, which retains its cushioning, meaning they'll bounce back from every step you take.
Strappy Sorel sandals with a sporty zigzag sole and "foot-to-floor foam" that ensures ultimate comfort all day long.
And some cute and casual Sperry sneakers with a delightfully durable design that includes rustproof eyelets, an elastic back that won't be easily ruined when you kick them on and off, and a lightweight removable footbed that also offers excellent arch support.
