A good travel shoe is like a good travel buddy: they’re hard to find but when you spot a good one, you hold on to them for dear life. Here are my current favorites for all weather types!
Converse Slip-Ons – These Shoreline Sneaker slip-ons are my everything right now and probably forever. When the Oyster Gray color fades into darkness, I’ll just have to buy another sparkly pair. No shoestrings to tie, no problems.
Eileen Fisher Platforms – Whoa. Whoa. WHOA. Everyone needs to put these babies on hold and hide yo kids, hide yo husband, because you need to go buy these today. They are neck and neck with Converse as my favorite shoes of the moment and are perfect for a romp around the globe this spring/summer.
Printed Vans – Because who the hell doesn’t love a Disney Princess design?! HUH? Vans has sold some crazy fun prints in their day including pizzas and donuts, just to name a few. Here are some really cool ice cream kicks that’ll get your sweet tooth talking.
Teva Float Sandals – I can’t tell you how many times I’ve used these Tevas on trips when I didn’t think I ever would. I’ve thrown them in my suitcase last minute because they weight like .5 pounds, and I’ve been glad each and every time.
Steve Madden Flats – These classics are fashionable and functional, and you really can’t beat that.
Nike Frees – Do I even need to sell these? They are as popular as Trump’s hate tweets. You’ll see ‘em daily.
Cougar Winter Boots – These shoes just make me wanna say rarrrrr. I don’t know. There’s something about them that I just love. Maybe it’s the waterproof feature. Maybe it’s the mountain woman vibes I get when looking in the mirror. Whatever it is, it’s pure magic.
Sorel Wedge Boots – So you want to be sexy but you don’t want to wear heels. Same. Been there, like every day. Sorel to the rescue! These wedged boots are much cuter on than off. I passed by them in a store a few weeks ago when a (really great) saleswoman talked me into trying them. Off to the register they went.
Faux Fur Trim Duck Boots – Tory Burch is my girl. She gets it right pretty much all the time. These boots and I go way back, and because they are so durable and functional, they’ve stood the test of time. They are now sold out, but here are some similar fur trim duck boots I also love.
Merrell Waterproof Hiking Boots – I have a massive love affair with my Merrells. They’ve hiked Patagonia peaks with me, they’ve seen five straight days of Peruvian mountains, and never once have they failed me. Even that one time when I fell into a river in Argentina. I genuinely hope they live forever.
Stuart Weitzman 5050 Over-The-Knee Boots – When you gotta dress up and can forgo a heel, these feisty babies will turn heads. Many, many heads. Over-the-knee boots just do that, and Stuart Weitzman can stop an entire room.
Adorable! Love the Eileen Fisher shoes. What jeans are you wearing in the pic with Eileen’s? Go Dawgs!
They may be the most comfortable shoes I own right now! The jeans are McGuire…love them too 🙂
Thank you for this post! Have been wondering which Converse those were in your pics, love them! Just ordered!
Hi Megan — awesome! So glad you liked the post, and you’ll LOVE the Converse.
I like that you compared the Nike’s to Trump’s hate tweets. Thank you for posting this. I may have to run to Nordstrom and get the EF shoes.
Yep – everyone needs a pair of them! They are THAT fashionable and functional.
Lesley – what purse/ tote is that? So cute!
Thanks! It’s WhoWhatWear by Target.
Thank you for this post! I’m just about ready for a new pair of travel sneakers, and I have some inspiration! 🙂
Also, epic Trump hate tweet comparison, got a good laugh!
Ha! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
Ah! I’m traveling abroad this summer and was debating whether or not to take my Shoreline Converse, and you sold me! And I’ve seen those Eileen Fisher sandals so many places and they look so comfy and cute! 🙂
Traveling to Paris and Africa this summer! I’m really interested in the Eileen Fisher shoes you have but also wondering if you know if any other Eileen Fisher sandals are just as comfy for walking around a lot?! Or if you have any other go to sandals for traveling during warm months when you’re walking a lot!?
Thanks, great article.
Nice informative article with beautiful pictures, your Stuart Weitzman knee boots are grabbing my attention again and again. I am obsessed with boots and love buying different pairs. Recently, I bought a pair of OTBT Abroad knee boots from OTBTshoes.com and are in love with them. Made from genuine leather the boots are very comfortable. But, I am definitely going to try this pair of knee boots as well. Check out here: https://www.otbtshoes.com/products/abroad-pecan-otbt
I’m honeymooning in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden in April and am looking for shoes that are versatile for walking around the city during the day yet could potentially cross for hiking shoes if needed. We are also planning on just taking a carry on for our two week trip. Do you have any suggestions for shoes and/or packing for a long trip in a carry on?
What leggings are you wearing with your Merrells?
They are Top Shop jeans!
What type of regular hiking boots do you wear?
They are linked in the article 🙂
Which All Bird shoes did you buy? Wool or tree runners?
Wool in yellow and still very much obsessed with them!
Which color of the EF shoe do you have? Love them!
