1. A classic Superga sneaker because they will go with literally anything: jeans, dresses, skirts, dress slacks, overalls (you get the point). In other words, the ideal pair of shoes to bring on a trip!

amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought these for a two-week trip where I would be walking a lot. I wanted to be stylish and comfortable. I wore them almost every day for eight hours and my feet never hurt — I didn't even get blisters which often happens with new shoes while they break in. They do run just a bit big, but I tightened the laces and the little bit of extra room was fine and they stayed on perfectly. They are awesome :) I even wore them with dresses and they looked so cute!" —JoshSuperK

Get it from Amazon for $49.95+ (available in sizes 5–11.5 and dozens of colors).

2. The famous Allbirds runner — uber soft and supportive everyday sneakers made from lightweight and breathable eucalyptus fibers, which means they're 100% up to the task of keeping you cool and comfy as you explore the world.

Allbirds

Promising review: "Love these shoes!! So comfortable and look great. Wore them as all day shoes at Disneyland, no blisters or other issues. I already am looking at other pairs to buy. Also great for traveling, extremely lightweight." —Michaela H.

Get them from Allbirds for $105 (available in sizes 5–11 and 15 colors).

3. A pair of these trendy two-strap sandals if you want the look and feel of Birks sans the expensive price tag and painful rubbing. Some reviewers even think these ones are softer and comfier than the name brand.

amazon.com

Promising review: "They are so comfortable and cute. I walked around in them all over Nashville on vacation and my feet never hurt once. (And that’s while walking over 15,000 steps a day!) Could not be happier with my purchase! I’m normally a size 9.5 or 10 in shoes but the 11 fit perfect for me, maybe size up one!" —Kristina Reid

Get them from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 6–12 and 20 colors).

4. A pair of Sketchers woven wedges so you can stroll about all sweet and flirty on your summer getaways, be it a romantic weekend escape, girls trip, or that destination wedding you're hoping to attend. Hard to say what you'll love more: their adorable aesthetic or the foam-cushioned contoured footbed!

amazon.com

Promising review: "These shoes are wonderful! I bought them for a European vacation and walked everywhere in them. They were so comfortable and stylish. Highly recommend." —Stephanie sarazin

Get it from Amazon for $33.95+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide fits, and eight colors).

6. A Keen rose sandal that I just adore and almost always bring on my warm weather travels. They look so darn adorable, are unbelievably comfy, and best of all, can handle miles and miles of walking (even if I decide to stroll through the waves a bit).

Keen

I've brought these on hiking/camping trips, but also on city vacations, too. I love knowing I can tackle any sort of terrain I might stumble upon in my adventures even though they don't really look like your typical "hiking sandals."

Promising review: "I bought these sandals about a month before I went on vacation. I walked around in them all day in very hot temperatures (38–40 degrees Celsius) with my feet sweating and swelling and did not get any blisters or hot spots. I thought for sure they would start to smell but they didn't! I read reviews of others not liking the ankle strap not being adjustable but I did not have any issues. I definitely would not go hiking in these sandals but are great for everyday casual wear and are super cute. I love the wide-toe box for my problem feet. I will definitely be buying more pairs in different colors. These are the most comfortable sandals I have ever bought! I did have some rubbing on my big toe from the toe box material but I got used to it quickly with no issues." —Ldc8

Get it from Keen for $115 (available in sizes 5–12 and six colors).

7. A Sketchers boat shoe featuring all the spiffy style of Sperry's you love, only even more comfort and support (and it's probably less expensive, which means more spending money for goodies on your trip).

amazon.com

Promising review: "Bought these in black and in stone colors. They are so comfortable!! Wore them on our Disney World Trip and my did not hurt from all the walking. We did over 30,000 steps each day, it was like walking on clouds the whole time. 😍" —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $44.10+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide fits, and five six).

8. A pair of two-strap chunky heels if you anticipate needing a chic little going-out shoe for all the evening happy hours and nightlife festivities on your trip. And let's be real, the after-work fun doesn't even begin until 7 p.m. in European cities, so best to have these babies on hand.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are absolutely a great purchase. I bought them for one outfit on vacation and ended up wearing them almost every night. They are cute, go with everything from casual to dressed up, and are comfortable enough to wear all night." —Amber Smith

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 6–10 and 27 colors).

9. A New Balance sneaker with a cushioned and responsive midsole *plus* a memory sole insert, aka a combo that will keep your body ache-free after clocking in 20,000 steps around Disneyland each day. 🙌

amazon.com

Promising review: "Bought these because a recent vacation had us going to the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina, Salem, Massachusetts, and Walt Disney World, normally my feet hurt after a few hours of walking on hard surfaces but at all locations, I wore these shoes. It was amazing. The ball of my foot is wide. I have a high arch and these shoes were perfect. I will order more for sure. They held up amazingly with more than 15 miles a day for nine days. They are super lightweight; they are actually lighter than my Croc flip-flops. I don't see myself in the near future wearing any other sneakers except these. They do run very small and I had to order a whole size up from what I would normally wear." —Sam

Get them from Amazon for $36.41+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide fits, and 12 colors).

10. A pair of KuaiLu flip-flops you'll absolutely want to throw in your bag (which will take up almost no space, just saying) for any beach vacations. These have a super cushiony yoga foam sole that provides plenty of arch support. In fact, one reviewer even walked 9 miles around Vegas in them comfortably!! 😱

amazon.com

Promising review: "These are the most comfortable flip flops I have ever had. I got the ones with the fabric strap, not leather. They are true to size. I've had them a few months now and wear them almost every day and wore them during my whole vacation to Florida. They are still in great shape and still comfy." —Krowe

Get them from Amazon for $11.99 (available in sizes 5–11 and 18 colors).

11. A pair of ballet flats for a lightweight and compact (read: easy to pack and travel with) summer shoe you can pair with dresses, jeans, slacks, and more. They're super cute, but perhaps more importantly, actually comfy!

amazon.com

Promising review: "I normally cannot wear flats because they give me terrible blisters on the back of my feet. These didn't! I'm between a 6.5 and 7 and the 7 fits great. Bought these in nude for a city vacation with a lot of walking, but where sandals aren't necessarily worn and these were perfect! They obviously don't have the support of sneakers, but I am so happy to finally have a cheap pair of flats that don't give me blisters. I did break them in with thin socks on around my house before wearing them out and when possible, I wear them with little sock liners. Also — I was able to fold these in half like Tieks and fit them in a semi-small purse to change into to dance at a wedding! Score!" —Kate

Get them from Amazon for $13.70+ (available in sizes 5–15, including wide fits, and 32 colors).

12. An Adidas tennis shoe because who doesn't love a good pair of stylish kicks, especially ones as comfy and classic as these? No one, that's who. This is the kind of fashion that knows no borders, so go ahead, wear them as you backpack throughout Europe.

amazon.com

Promising review: "My absolute FAVORITE pair of sneakers! I wear them constantly! We took a vacation, and I wore them while flying and walking around Disney and never had any discomfort!" —Bryanna

Get it from Amazon for $54.99+ (available in sizes 4.5–12 and 44 colors).

13. An espadrille wedge if you've been dreaming of a sandal that's actually as comfy and friction-free as it is cute — enter this supremely cushioned and super stylish godsend!

amazon.com

Promising review: "LOVE THESE SHOES!!! I have a wider foot and can’t wear many trendy shoes but I am in LOVE with these!! They are truly the most comfortable pair of sandals I have ever owned, no exaggeration. I wore them for an entire wedding, no complaints. Walked two miles in them on vacation, no complaints. Ran through a lightning storm in them, NO COMPLAINTS!! I would run a marathon in these if I needed to. Ankle strap is comfortable and stretches enough to put my foot in but fits just right to hold the shoe on comfortably. The two-foot straps don’t stretch but aren’t too tight. These feel even better than name-brand shoes! I LOVE THEM!!! BUY THEM!!" —tyler fischer

Get them from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes 6–11, including wide fits, and five colors).

14. A pair of slip-on sneakers featuring tons of arch support, non-slip tread, and a sleek aesthetic to boot. Safe to say you'll be complimenting their look *and* feel by the end of your travels. And bonus! The slip-on design will be a piece of cake when going through airport security.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "Shoes are so lightweight and very supportive. Glad I purchased for my vacation to Boston. All the walking in my other shoes would've been a mistake." —Felizita

Get them from Amazon for $33.14+ (available in sizes 5.5–10.5 and 19 colors).

15. A pair of classic Blundstone boots you'll want if your itinerary goes from nature hikes to cobblestone streets and every type of terrain in between. These are rugged enough to handle just about any type of weather conditions (like rain, slush, or mud), but chic enough that you can also wear them about downtown, too.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I ordered these after reading many reviews and watching many videos comparing the 500s to the 550s. Wore them on a trip to Chamonix where the conditions went from snow to slush to rain to frozen sheet of ice. Grippy soles kept me upright and reinforced leather kept my feet dry in very wet conditions — I felt bad for my husband and son, who didn't have them and went around with soaked feet. Per the health app on my phone, I logged 5–10 miles a day in these with little foot fatigue. I need a lot of arch support, which these have, but I added a pair of OTC athletic ones too. At the end of the trip, we spent two days in Geneva--very hilly with cobblestone streets. We couldn't find our hotel, so spent a lot of time in these schlepping luggage up and down stairs and over uneven terrain. Again, did not disappoint. They look really cute with skinny jeans, leggings, and dresses with tights. Definitely worth the money." —Danielle Babiarz

Get it from Amazon for $135+ (available in sizes 4–13 and 29 colors)

16. A Rothy's loafer with a timeless style that'll pretty much always match your vacation wardrobe, even as the fashion trends change. Not only are they knit from recycled plastic bottles (yay sustainability!) but they're also machine-washable, so you can easily have them looking brand new for each and every trip.

Rothy's

Promising review: "I have been on vacation with my husband. Walking 5 to 7 miles a day. I brought The Drivers. My feet feel amazing. Never thought I could find a pretty shoe that was so easy on my feet!" —Lari F.

Get it from Rothy's for $189 (available in sizes 5–13 and 14 colors).

17. A Crocs wedge sandal because you, like the other 7,000+ five-star reviewers, will quickly become obsessed. These have all the comfort and durability of classic Crocs (even waterproof), only they're way more stylish. Tons of reviewers swear by these for vacations and beyond, even folks who'd basically vowed never to wear Crocs in their life!

amazon.com

Promising review: "I was going to Mexico and needed black sandals that were super comfortable for walking all day, durable/cleanable bc I'd be on dusty streets in the Yucatan, and also give good support on rocky terrain/gravel/bad sidewalks etc. Not easy! Found these at Famous Footwear then noticed the exact same ones were cheaper on Amazon and came the next day. I love these shoes! 😍😍🙌🙌. Now I want them in other colors. The comfort is the best part, but also super cute. I live in FL so can wear year around. Versatile! I can wear these to church or to the beach...both work equally well! Had no idea Crocs make diff kinds of shoes but since they're kind of the experts in durable shoes out of this material, I'm hoping they'll least for years." —Janet R

Get it from Amazon for $52+ (available in sizes 4–11 and 18 colors).

18. A pair of Adidas Cloudform running sneakers since, according to reviewers, these are some of the comfiest and most supportive walking shoes out there...and if there's one thing you can count on when vacation, it's the fact that you're gonna be walking a ton.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I got these shoes for walking around NYC during a recent vacation. I walked over 10 miles a day for a week in these shoes and my feet felt great! They’re so cute, too! I normally buy size 6 shoes in stores but since these came in half sizes I got a 5.5 and they fit perfectly." —lacy

Get them from Amazon for $41.58+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 39 colors).

19. A Clarks slip-on loafer with a super cushy OrthoLite footbed and slight chunky heel, perfect for when you want to ~elevate~ your vacation 'fits without sacrificing comfort.

amazon.com

Promising review: "[EDIT]: THE MOST COMFORTABLE SHOE IN THE WORLD!!! My review just changed to a 5-star from a 3-star. Once I got the right size (which still baffles me that I needed a W), I’ve been wearing these non-stop! I even took them on vacation to NYC (where you walk A LOT), and never once did they hurt my feet after a full 12+ hours of walking and being on my feet!! They took about a couple weeks to truly break in, but once they did...oh my gosh!! I can’t tell you how awesome these shoes are!!! They’re like butter...I’m so not kidding!! I have been used to a slip on shoe for YEARS, so the only annoying thing to me is that you have to physically put them on and take them off. But it’s WELL worth it because you never really want to take them off!! They have a side zipper, which adds to the cuteness, and a nice sized heel, which isn’t overly big or small!! I’m only 5’0, so it adds the perfect amount of height!!" —Amy W. C.

Get them from Amazon for $42.39+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide and narrow fits, and two colors).

20. A Skechers slip-on mule sneaker for anyone who wants the support of a sneaker but none of the hassle of laces. You can easily slip these on/off in seconds, which is especially great if you're getting to that age where it's just not as easy as it used to be to bend over and put your shoes on.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have these on now. I use them as slippers in my house. Pack them on vacation. Use them in Disney. Walked for nine hours in them. Very comfortable." —Christine Noble

Get them from Amazon for $75+ (available in sizes 5–11, including wide fits, and 16 colors).

21. A quilted slip-on shoe with such a chic look everyone will likely assume you flew first class. Without a doubt, the plush memory foam sole will at least make you feel like you're getting special first-class service all throughout your trip.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought these shoes for my trip to the UK in September. They proved to be some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. We toured English stately homes and gardens and walked everywhere we went and these shoes gave me great support and comfort. I wore them on the plane and in the airports and they stood the test. Love these shoes and I have put them aside to wear for my next UK trip!" —Louisa Cornell

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and nine colors).

22. A cushy pair of slides because you'll feel like you're walking on a big, fluffy cloud, which IDK about you, but that's *exactly* my goal when I'm chilling at a tropical (ideally all-inclusive) beach resort.

amazon.com

Promising review: "These are so ridiculously comfortable! I have bone spurs in my heals and tendinitis in my Achilles and these have helped the pain greatly! More so that expensive orthotics. So squishy but supportive, feels like walking on a cloud. I bought a pair for everyone in my family! Wore them on vacation, and for the first time ever my ankles didn't swell from all the walking on my vacation. Get these!" —Cortney Rollins

Get them from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in women's sizes 4–15, men's sizes 3–14, and 15 colors).

23. A pair of sporty memory foam sneakers with such a lightweight, breathable mesh upper you might even forget you're wearing shoes! At the very least, these can help prevent your feet from getting sweaty and stinky as you sightsee under the hot summer sun for hours on end.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I purchased these before a vacation to Disney World and I'm so glad I did! These shoes stand up to 12+ hours of adventure with no sore feet or blisters. I would recommend these to anyone for standing/walking or everyday!" —m.kray

24. An espadrille platform sandal here to add some ~oomph~ to your summertime vacay 'fits (and make quite the statement on your Insta stories hehe). Pair 'em with jeans, dresses, rompers, really anything, it doesn't matter! What *does* matter is the fact that they're cute 'n comfy. ;)

amazon.com

Promising review: "This is a good pair to add to your wardrobe. The color is as I expected and very versatile. It works for all sorts of outfits (dresses, jeans, and skirts). It’s very comfortable and provides adequate support. I had brought it on a recent vacation and was able to walk around for hours comfortably." —Wolfsbane

Get it from Amazon for $29+ (available in sizes 5.5–11 and 20 colors).

25. A Skechers low-top sneaker that looks so cute, you'd probably assume they couldn't possibly be comfy, but sike! They've got a super cushy memory foam footbed, which basically makes it feel like you're walking on a soft, fluffy pillow. Not to mention, they're super versatile style-wise too.

amazon.com

Promising review: "These shoes are SO comfortable. I left on a four-day vacation and forgot my usual walking shoes, having only brought these (completely new, right out of the box) and a pair of heels. Being new, I was so worried about walking around in these for four days, but they were wonderful! I never got any blisters, they fit perfectly, and after walking around multiple Florida trails in them, they were easy to wash and look no worse for wear! My new favorite pair of shoes, for sure. The picture is from our second night on vacation, and the shoes were still perfect after walking around nine hours each day!" —Alicia Thornton

Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide fits, and 24 colors).

26. A platform slide sandal that manages to be equal parts classic and trendy. I don't quite understand it either, but I *do* understand that you'll look like a chic vacation baddie strutting around in these.

Nordstrom

Promising review: "Was looking for something comfortable enough for European travel but not frumpy looking. These look stylish and amazingly comfortable on my feet. The velcro is a big bonus." —Amy C

Get it from Nordstrom for $89.95 (available in sizes 5–11 and four colors).

27. A tough and durable waterproof walking sneaker so you don't have to worry about a little wet and rainy weather ~cramping your style~ (or sightseeing). According to reviewers, these kept their feet dry, comfy, and if you can believe, cute too!

Amazon

Promising review: "I bought these shoes a few days before leaving on a 10 day trip to Ireland. They are waterproof and so comfortable. I walked constantly in them, rain or shine, and they protected me and kept my feet from hurting. They have a nice layer of padding on the inside and decent arch supports. I have very high arches and feel that they support them well." —Stacy

Get them from Amazon for $127+ (available in sizes 5.5–13, including wide fits, and nine colors).
