9 Lightweight Walking Shoes For Travel<\/h1>\n

Oh, summer vacations. I look forward to leaving it all behind, red wine in hand, and a cool breeze in my hair. I read all the guidebooks, buy a pretty dress (or three!), and I’m ready to go.<\/p>\n

Except for the shoes. For years I got it wrong. I’d be on vacation walking my millionth mile, cursing myself for bringing such uncomfortable shoes. I think part of the reason I made poor choices was the simple act of finding comfy shoes in the first place. I love window-shopping online (I mean, who doesn’t?), but 5 hours later, I’m still undecided and end up wearing my ten-year-old Converse shoes instead. Not to mention, comfy shoes can be ugly, making my search seem even more complicated.<\/p>\n

After trying out several pairs of walking shoes, I’ve found my favorite lightweight shoes for travel (or home!).<\/p>\n

Read on for my favorite lightweight travel shoes that I’ve tested (and loved). Which ones do you like?<\/p>\n

\u00a0S A N D A L S<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Teva<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Women’s<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Terra-Float Livia Lux Sandal\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

No products found.<\/p>\n

I found these to be super comfy and cute, without looking touristy.\u00a0I wore them with dresses, jeans, and they seemed to go with everything.<\/p>\n

The foam soles are\u00a0featherlight,\u00a0but durable. They run a little large, so I sized down a half size.<\/p>\n

I wore them for a few days before my trip, to let the leather straps mold to my feet, and they were ready to go once I hit the streets of Paris.<\/p>\n

Sanuk Women’s Yoga Sling 2 Flip Flop<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

No products found.<\/p>\n

If you are into more casual and minimal vibes, these are amazing sandals. They’re made from yoga material – yeah, I know, right – so you know it’s going to be chic, yet comfortable. They excel when you are relaxing, but are easily at home on walking tours or an impromptu dinner date.<\/p>\n

I found the fabric straps supportive and they molded around my foot.<\/p>\n

The color options are pretty amazing too, so there is something for everyone. They are so light, I took 2 pairs on one trip. A woman needs options.<\/p>\n

My friend has wider feet and plantar fasciitis and she adored these. I can see this work wonderfully with pregnant women too.<\/p>\n

Naot Women’s Dorith Gladiator Sandal<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

No products found.<\/p>\n

This sandal, made me feel very classy, I won’t lie. I got it in the gold color, but there were many other pretty colors to choose from.<\/p>\n

The footbed is made of cork, with a layer of suede to mold to the shape of your foot.<\/p>\n

I got a lot of\u00a0compliments,\u00a0while wearing these. Style, comfort, and compliments, I love it.<\/p>\n

\u00a0F L A T S<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sanuk Women’s Donna Flat<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

No products found.<\/p>\n

If you like vegan-friendly shoes, these are great. I love how breathable and different these are. I wore them on the plane, so I could easily slip them off when I went through customs.<\/p>\n

The rubber sole is sturdy, so I felt well supported. For longer trips, I might get an insole for my flat feet.<\/p>\n

Skechers Women’s Cleo Wham Ballet Flat<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

No products found.<\/p>\n

A few years ago, I never considered wearing Skechers, but now they are a solid choice for lightweight comfort.<\/p>\n

Flats are usually too flat for me, so I doubted these would work for me. Luckily, these have memory foam, so it felt like I was walking on air.<\/p>\n

My feet swell in the evenings, but these stayed comfy all day. \u00a0I went a half size up on these and they were perfect.<\/p>\n

\u00a0S N E A K E R S<\/strong><\/h3>\n

ASICS Women’s<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Metrolyte<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

No products found.<\/p>\n

These brought me back to my college\u00a0days,\u00a0when I used to wear the Onitsuka Tiger version. They were\u00a0cool,\u00a0but too flat for my feet.<\/p>\n

These, however, have memory foam and are very breathable thanks to the mesh fabric. I loved that they were slip-on and didn’t need lacing up at all. For the price, they were stylish, without looking too sporty and like I was going to the gym.<\/p>\n

Nike Women’s<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Tanjun<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Shoe Running Shoe<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

No products found.<\/p>\n

Trendy and\u00a0fun,\u00a0comes to mind when I think of these. \u00a0I don’t usually go for pink, but these were the right balance of trendy, yet simple. There are so many colors, it was hard to pick one, to be honest.<\/p>\n

They changed the look of my\u00a0outfit,\u00a0because of the pretty pink color. As well as looking good, they were lightweight and supportive for the walking tour I joined.<\/p>\n

New Balance Women’s WA365v1 Walking Shoe<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

No products found.<\/p>\n

Not too sporty, but simple enough to wear with most of my outfits. The gray was neutral enough to wear with everything, but there were other color options too. The breathable\u00a0fabric\u00a0was great, after walking a few miles in the summer.<\/p>\n

Toms Women’s Del Rey Sneaker<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

No products found.<\/p>\n

These are very Scandinavian-chic. They are unique and don’t look like any major shoe brand, which I liked. They have small details, that keep them from looking too plain. The chambray fabric was really pretty. I wore them with and without socks and they were comfortable both ways.<\/p>\n
