You’re walking down the cobbled side streets of London or Rome, not a care in the world, and then it hits you: Your shoes are uncomfortable AF. A bad pair of travel shoes can mean the difference between enjoying your vacation the way it was meant to be experienced, or stopping every few hours to reapply bandages and blister-preventing products in the middle of a sea of tourists.
When it comes to travel, the more comfortable your feet are the better your trip will be. A good pair of waterproof walking shoes for travel can make all the difference.
When looking for the perfect pair, you’ll want to find something that’s comfortable for walking and that easily squeezes into your luggage. You’ll want a style that’s lightweight, flexible and durable, as well as something that’s supportive and cushioned. Better still, look for a shoe with water resistance so you can cover more ground in a single pair of kicks.
Below, we’ve rounded up 11 pairs of the best travel sneakers for women that’ll take you from cobblestones to city walks.
