Deciding what footwear to take on your travels can be a conundrum. Ideally, it’s great to pack just a couple of pairs that work for different needs and don’t take up too much space in your suitcase. A perfect pair of strappy sandals or heels appropriate for evenings at your destination and flip-flops for the beach or poolside are a must. But for daytime, you want durability with comfort suitable for different walks of travel life. We decided to put some miles on some styles to bring you eight favorites that treat your feet—whether you are city sightseeing, taking an easy trail hike, cruising a cruise ship deck or just kicking back at a resort.
Tree Runner Go, Allbirds: The latest Allbirds style in its Tree franchise just launched, and we’re delighted. The Tree Runner Go’s simple good looks and lightweight durability won’t weigh you or your luggage down, and they withstand any detours your day brings. Soft, flexible and cool material partially made from tree fiber provides a naturally breathable upper to beat feet heat when you are on the go. Underfoot, Allbirds’ patented SweatFoam midsole gives extra cushioning by using sugar cane-derived material. Along with recycled polyester soles, this makes them kind to the environment as well as to your feet. $120.
