Top 3 Best Travel Shoes for Walking

Taos Footwear Star Fashion Charcoal Comfy Sneaker

 

Most Comfortable Sneakers for Women Who Prefer Wide Sizes: Taos Star Fashion

 

Taos Star sneakers are a cute walking shoe that not only delivers on style but comfort. They look like Converse sneakers but are way more supportive and comfortable!

The removable footbed provides arch support (which includes side-arch support) so you can walk on them for long periods of time.

We recommend them if you’re looking for a wider-sized shoe with a cute look and are going to be walking long distances. Many of Taos’ fans have used them on their European jaunts where they do a lot of walking and love the fact that their feet are still usable after 20,000 steps!

If you want a sneaker look but slip-on function, you can switch out the normal laces with elastic ones. That way you’re still in a sneaker, but you cut out a few minutes from getting ready and don’t have to tie any laces (or re-tie them in the middle of the day, for that matter).

However, this comfortable sneaker runs a tad bit small, and if you’re looking for the perfect fit, you may need to order a half size bigger to get that glove-like feel.

These Taos sneakers come in over 23 colors and are available in sizes 6-11 in both regular and wide sizes, too.

Skechers Go Walk Joy Charcoal Comfortable Sneakers

 

Most Comfortable Shoes for Just About Everybody: Skechers Go Walk

 

The unbeatable memory foam footbed in Skechers Go Walk slip-ons makes them the most popular walking shoes for travel year after year.

One reader says, “I have problems with plantar fasciitis and high arch support and find these shoes so comfortable. I can both walk and run in them. Highly recommend them.” If you have plantar fasciitis and need more ideas, take a look at our article on the best travel shoes for plantar fasciitis!

These Skechers comfy walking shoes are lightweight, which means they feel great on your feet, and they are easy to pack, too, which is essential if you’re traveling carry-on only! The breathable mesh upper means these walking shoes hold up to long wear, even when it’s warm outside.

The ultimate shoe for comfort and performance, Skechers have a ton of cushioning to keep your feet happy when sightseeing. As a bonus, they’re easy on the wallet, too.

Best Sneakers for Walking at Home and Abroad: Adidas Cloudfoam

 

With comfort brands dominating the travel shoe market due their functionality, we would’ve never pegged Adidas to have some of the best walking sneakers, but the Cloudfoam Advantage has everyone in the Travel Fashion Girls Facebook Group talking.

What makes this particular style different from the traditional Adidas sneaker is it’s Cloudfoam insole, which boasts extra-cushioning to make you feel like you’re “walking on clouds”.

Vionic was founded by a podiatrist who wanted to create comfortable shoes, especially for people with plantar fasciitis. The brand continues to come out with more and more attractive footwear options that are also comfortable for long days of walking.

We love Vionic for their balance of comfort with fashion – the Kimmie slip ons, shown above, are our latest shoe obsession! You won’t just want to wear them to the beach, though. You’ll want to wear these cute walking shoes for travel wherever you go!

Our readers have worn them to travel all over Europe, stating that they are a super comfy all-day walking shoe and even look cute with shorts, dresses, and skirts. Readers agree: “They’re like walking on clouds.”

Blondo Victory Brown Waterproof Ankle Bootie

 

Best Travel Boots for Cold Weather Destinations: Blondo Victory

 

For those who love to spend their vacations wandering through cities and exploring the sites, come rain or shine, a pair of ankle booties like the Blondo Victory are the best walking shoes for travel in spring, autumn, or winter.

They’re not only comfortable and practical but stylish, too. Black ankle boots are an easy choice to wear on a trip to Europe or any metropolitan city. Black is the most classic option, but the “Dark Taupe suede” is also a versatile choice.

They have a stacked, 1¾-inch heel that’s thick and durable, so it actually provides more support than flat shoes. This heel also offers some arch support, which adds to its comfort. These booties are so comfortable, and I can walk hours on end in them without any blisters or pain.

Double duty items are thoroughly loved here at TFG, and Blondo will easily help you take on the elements in style.

What Are Good Travel Shoes?

 

A good travel shoe is something you can wear for hours at a time.

When you’re traveling, you’ll spend much more time standing up and walking than you do at home. The best exploration is done by foot, and you’ll need comfortable travel shoes to keep you energized and happy in order to make the most of your trip.

While everyone wants to find the perfect pair of cute comfortable walking shoes, never prioritize fashion. Comfort is the name of the game, so try to find a balance by choosing a neutral item that works well with your wardrobe.

Avoid chunky footwear, instead prioritize lightweight, functional shoes that can easily be packed into your carry-on suitcase instead of using a shoe bag.

The most comfortable walking shoes will vary from person to person. A lot will depend on your personal style. One person might adore sandals, while another chooses sneakers, and a third wants ankle boots.

What Are the Best Women’s Shoes for Travel in Europe?

 

A reader asks: We just moved to Sicily for the next three years. We are looking to travel extensively during that time all over Europe. Of course, that requires good shoes for walking all day. Are there any stylish but comfortable shoes that are not sneakers and will not kill my feet? I am prone to blisters, and my feet hate me when there is no support in my shoes.

Finding stylish walking shoes for Europe used to be an almost impossible task. However, in recent years, comfort footwear brands have stepped up their game, and they finally are creating womens travel shoes that look as good as they feel. These are the shoes I packed for my summer trip.

From comfortable flats to gladiator walking sandals, cute sneakers to waterproof ankle booties, and even dressy walking shoes such as wedges, women finally can breathe a sigh of relief at the idea of finding a balance between form, function, and fashion.

Fashionable walking shoes have arrived, and they’re getting better every day!

 

 

How Many Pairs of Shoes Should I Pack?

 

Most travelers agree that three is the magic number when it comes to packing shoes. We recommend you take a minimum of two pairs and a maximum of four pairs of shoes for travel.

Ensure that you bring at least one pair of comfortable walking shoes that you can use daily for sightseeing. If you’re going to experience mixed weather during your trip, pack one pair of comfortable shoes you can wear to sightsee when it’s hot and one pair you can wear when it’s cold.

Tip: slip on sneakers can work in both warm and moderately cold weather. Always pack waterproof boots if you’re going to expect rain or snow!

Select the three best womens travel shoes based on our recommendations above!

 

 

How to Survive Long Days on Your Feet

 

The first time I traveled to Europe, I absolutely crushed my feet wearing impractical, cute shoes. I could hardly walk and it made me hate having to leave the hotel to go sightseeing. Not only did having bad shoes ruin my trip but it also took me a month to recover after I got home.

I can’t stress the importance of choosing comfortable shoes for traveling. You need to take good care of your feet since you’ll spend long days sightseeing. Don’t let the wrong shoes keep you from having the most amazing trip ever!

 

  • Start a daily walking routine as far in advance as you can before your trip. Exercising your feet muscles will help them feel less sore when you’re traveling. If you’re not used to spending long hours on your feet, you’re likely to feel foot pain even if you have the most comfortable shoes on the planet.

 

  • Make sure to break in all shoes before you leave! Wear them around town at least a couple times. Take them out for a hike or two, if that’s what you’re into. The last thing you want is for your comfortable shoes to give you blisters.

 

 

 

How to Soothe Sore Feet on Your Trip

 

When traveling, take care of your feet; they literally take you everywhere! You must be good to those toes – you will enjoy yourself much more by not worrying about blisters and pain.

 

If you find yourself in pain while you’re already traveling, follow these steps:

  • Lay down and raise your feet
  • Stretch
  • Soak your feet
  • Moisturize
  • Massage
  • Use hot and cold water

 

It really is worth spending a little extra money to ensure the quality of your footwear when you’re trying to decide on the best shoes for travel.

If all fails, and your footwear isn’t working out, you can buy shoes anywhere in the world. Just pick up a new pair if you didn’t make the best choices – it has happened to me!
