5 Essential Summer Travel Shoes You Don’t Want To Leave Home Without

5 Essential Summer Travel Shoes You Don’t Want To Leave Home Without

Hunting for shoes that are durable and comfortable enough for travel – and are also stylish enough that you actually want to be seen wearing them? We’ve got you covered. Here are six great brands for shoes that can go anywhere.

1. For the the Adventurer Who Takes the Road Less Traveled

OTBT (Off the Beaten Track) is a collection of casual women’s shoes made “for walking the road less traveled.” Their rugged-chic footwear was designed specifically with the traveler in mind, and inspired by music and culture.

For example, the Rexburg in Chestnut Gold ($125) from OTBT is made with comfort stretch material, genuine leather, and a durable rubber sole. Casual enough for daywear, the metallic fabric makes them just as appropriate for a night on the town, too. It goes without saying that wedges are a girl’s best friend – they’re like wearing heels, but cheating because they’re so comfortable.
Another option, the Flower Child in Red Sutter ($159), is a cutout bootie-sandal hybrid with fringe detail that will bring out your inner hippie. Just like all OTBT shoes, it’s also super comfortable thanks to a leather upper, rubber outsole, and cork footbed.

2. For the Preppy-Chic Traveler

A brand we all know and love for its stylish and comfy footwear is Sperry. Their shoes are great for travel because they’re so lightweight for packing, and you can easily walk around in them all day.

This season they have some really cute slip-on sneakers that hit all the trends: perforated, pastels, brights, color blocking, and prints ($60 to $90). But you can’t count out the classic Sperry boat shoe, which receives an update this season with a novelty leather and textile mix upper in the Firefish Canvas style ($80). These shoes are very comfortable, with an EVA molded midsole for all-day support and comfort, and breathable lining that keeps your feet cool and dry.

3. For the Active Traveler

Portland-based Keen Footwear develops outdoor footwear, including hiking shoes, that are made in America. They have some really great lightweight shoes that are built to last, but what really makes this brand worth checking out is its commitment to preserving and protecting outdoor places – a cause near and dear to most travelers’ hearts. Each year, they donate multiple $10,000 grants to nonprofits around the world who share this mission and they are a member of the Sustainable Apparel Coalition.

For women, the Keen Versago ($120) does double duty – it works for hiking and everyday activities thanks to a modern design and high performance functionality.

For men, the Keen Saltzman WP boots ($130) are perfect for tackling rugged terrain with a waterproof membrane, anatomically protective structure, and excellent arch support.


4. 
For the Socially Conscious Traveler

As travelers, it’s equally as important that we’re informed about global issues like poverty and how our travels and consumption makes an impact. One brand that gets it is Roma Boots, which donates boots to a child in need for every pair sold. They also give 10 percent of all proceeds to fund educational initiatives – part of their mission to eradicate poverty.

One style that is perfect for girls who travel where there may be inclement weather is the Chelsea Matte Teal Boot ($59.95). Made from natural rubber with quick-dry knitted cotton lining, these vegan and eco-friendly boots will keep your toes warm and dry in any sutation.

 

5. For the Tropical Traveler

Those who travel to tropical destinations are well aware of the clothing conundrum they present: it’s hot and sunny, but you’re never safe from a downpour! Enter Seastar Beachwear’s Beachcomber Espadrilles ($89), which are made with quick-drying neoprene and protective rubber soles, so you can wear them when it’s pouring or sunny while staying comfortable the whole time. They’re the perfect slip-ons for a laid back vacation – and they come in a ton of fun colors!

May we all strive to emulate her virtues and remember that true wealth lies in the depth of our character, the sincerity of our actions, and the impact we have on those around us.”
