How to Pack Your Sandals
Maybe you want to pack your sandals after wearing them on the plane or choose to wear a different pair home, start by selecting a container such as a shoe bag or a packing cube, then pack according to your type of luggage. See more in the video below.
Watch this video to start learning how to organize with packing cubes!
Whether you have a front loading or top loading backpack, it’s crucial to put your shoes first, at the bottom. If you’re planning to pack shoes in a rolling carry-on, remember that it stands sideways, so it’s important to note how it functions when it is upright. Most often, your shoes will need to be packed close to the wheels, so that the luggage maintains its balance in transit.

I LOVE my Ecco Flowt sandals. I bought them based on recommendations from one of your articles. I have not been sorry. I wore them all over Europe and had the happiest feet! Now that I am home they are my go to shoes. I’m going to buy them in another color!
I lived all last summer in the Vionic Kirras but for some reason, they gave me blisters this year! My new go-to are the Aetrex Jess sandals (similar in style to the Taos but more cushy).
Your suggestions for shoes and sandals are always on point. I am excited to try them as I am on the hunt for tan sandals.
I found the recommendation for Vionic’s Kirra Sandal here at the TFG site and bought them in tan. I’ve worn them for three years and they are the best! I’m retiring them now but buying another pair to replace them and a third pair in black. Thank you for excellent advice!
Love my Vionic Women’s Kirra Sandals! I found the recommendation three years ago and have worn them ever since. Even if I’m not a super fan of in-between-toes thong, these work so well. I’ll be buying them again.
😍😍😍 Tan colored sandals are the BEST!!!!!!!!!
Yes they are. Sadly the Mirabelle isn’t available in tan until after my trip next week. I just found this blog and information this week.
💓💓 Tan colored shoes are the BEST!! 😍
I have so much trouble finding shoes that are comfortable – I typically just wear Merrell light hikers while traveling – comfortable and sturdy. But – your review here – particularly of Naot and Taos has me rethinking – I will definitely check them out – would love to more stylish – and comfortable – thanks!
I am obsessed with my Ecco sandals. I’ve had two different types and both were amazing. They don’t leave blisters and are I’ve walked 8+ miles a day on these whike on vacation with no problem!
I’ve been so sad since Sofft discontinued its Briar sandal. Anyone know how the Mirabelle compare?
Hi Joanna, TFG readers are loving the Mirabelle sandals this summer: https://bit.ly/3t3Itev
They feature a cushy insole with arch support that our readers love, and the adjustable ankle strap will keep your feet snug and secure as you set out on your travel adventures. They’re so stylish and versatile with midi or maxi dresses, and long shorts!
I am looking for the perfect travel sandals and thanks to your posts I have it narrowed down to two pairs. I’ve read this post a few times over the past couple of months and clicked the links of my favorites and have found it so helpful. It’s also introduced me to brands I wasn’t familar wirh. I am so happy to have found you online 🙂
I have yet to find a sandal that is comfortable enough for a whole day of travel. I love Taos sneakers and the sandals are good for everyday, but not a full day of walking. I have very grumpy feet! I’ll give some of these a try – thanks for the recommendations!
Bought the vionic sandals and love them!! Thanks so much!!
Thanks for the recommendation of my now favorite pair of sandal! Sofft Mirabelle – checks all the boxes and is still going strong 3 years after I purchased them!
Thank you for all these wonderful recommendations! I come back to these shoe posts again and again.
Amazing selection of fashionablr and comfy sandals. Love Vionic, but basically every shoe shown here is great!
