Where to Shop for Comfort Shoes
Finding shoes that are both comfortable and fashionable is the ultimate goal for almost all female travelers. For some reason, comfort shoe brands tend to completely overlook style and focus only on function.
Ecco Damara Sandal – one of the most popular travel sandals!
Over the past few years brands have gotten better about this, including:
- Clarks: makes beautiful wedges
- Vionic: offers a range of pretty sandals
- Born: introduced a balance of comfort and fashion
- Aerosoles: stays on top of trends
- Sofft: offers comfort and style
- Gentle Souls: features ultra-feminine styles
The “ugly shoe” trend continues on and comfort sandals are more popular than ever before. Fashion bloggers paired the traditional Teva and Birkenstock sandals with crisp, tailored clothing, propelling these brands and similar designs to stardom.
Athleisure also blew up and workout clothing became everyday clothing, with leggings and tennis shoes leading the way to a more acceptable casual style. Comfortable footwear continues to reign over sky-high heels. Flats and sneakers are the new pairing with dressy outfits instead of stilettos.
Trends aside, comfort shoes have made giant leaps over the years and female travelers are reaping all the benefits.
And now, Nordstrom is making things easier than you could imagine with this incredible feature on their website:
Get the exact type of comfort shoe for you! Not everyone has the same needs when it comes to shoes. As we age, our feet change and require varying types of support.
The most common foot ailments include the need for arch support and plantar fasciitis, which are specifically addressed in Nordstrom’s search features (as shown above). You can use Nordstrom’s awesome tool to discover the best pair for you.
Need supportive shoes? Take a look at our post on the best travel shoes for plantar fasciitis! For different widths, we also have a post on the comfortable, cute shoes for wide feet, too.
We searched Nordstrom’s website, and these were some of the best comfort shoes we found:
Comfort Sandals:
SÖFFT Fiora Sandal – our readers rave about this sandal!
The Flexx Crossover Ankle Strap Sandal
Comfort Ballet Flats:
Cole Haan Tali Bow Ballet Flat – great for business travel
Hush Puppies Chaste Ballet Flat
Comfort Boots:
Blondo Lila Waterproof Bootie – our readers’ favorite brand of boots for travel!
UGG Simmens – voted the best waterproof boot for Ireland!
Comfort Wedges:
Clarks Annadel Eirwyn Wedge Sandal select colors, sizes on sale
Bernie Mev. Frontier Woven Mary Jane Wedge
It was also interesting to learn which brands have the benefits I’m looking for in a shoe. While it may take a few tries, I appreciated having the ability to narrow down my options. This eliminates features I don’t want and helped me find styles best suited for my needs.
Keep in mind that your destination may require specific types of shoes. Read these guides on how to choose shoes for Europe’s cobblestone streets and how to choose the best travel shoes in general!

Hi, I’m taking a trip to Ireland &london,in September 20 -5 October.please suggest clothes & shoes according to the weather@ that time.
Hi Veenu, for some help planning your packing, this is a good place to start: https://www.travelfashiongirl.com/10-step-packing-guide-london/ For some tips specific to help with packing for Ireland, take a look at this: https://www.travelfashiongirl.com/what-to-wear-in-ireland-packing-list-ideas-for-dublin/ Here is a round up of choosing the best shoes for Europe which you may find helpful: https://www.travelfashiongirl.com/best-walking-shoes-for-europe/ For September and October a pair of ankle boots or low calf boots are very practical, they are great for keeping your feet dry and warm, and they are also a European footwear staple. Make sure your shoes are comfortable for all the walking you are bound to do! We recommend that you try and pack no more than three pairs of shoes based on your activities so your boots would be fantastic for walking and going sightseeing. While boots are usually a great option it entirely depends on the weather forecast. It’s important to research the weather now and closer to your travels for both destinations for the most accurate indication on what shoes and clothes to bring. Have an amazing trip!
Veenu,
A light wind and water proof coat with a hood that you can layer with a sweater is a must. Comfortable water proof leather boots, gloves, a circle scarf, and a hat are also important. I’d go for a darker coat and add subtle pops of color with your accessories. Bring tights to wear under your pants for those really nippy days. You could luck out with unseasonably warm and dry weather, but you will be grateful if you came prepared.
This is a pretty cool tool! Makes the search so much easier.
Glad you like it 😀
