Shoes can take up a lot of precious suitcase space. That is why making the decisions of which ones to pack a crucial one. They should be comfortable and versatile. Stylish, yes, but comfortable first. And they should go along with some factors like the weather and terrain.

A poor choice in footwear can mean pain, blisters, and misery. You want shoes that aren't too bulky or heavy to pack and are durable enough to withstand the rigors of travel.

So pick your destination, decide things to do, and use this guide to score yourself the most comfortable shoes for travel:

1. Vans Classic Slip-On Sneaker

The simple design makes it so they can pair with pretty much any casual outfit.

The thicker rubber sole creates a bit more cushion to keep your feet comfortable while on the go. They're the ideal sneaker style for warm-weather getaways; all-purpose shoes that somehow look better the more beat-up they get. You can wear them with socks or without socks and be comfortable.

These shoes come in several colors (both checkered and solid.) They also feature elastic tabs so you can easily slip them on and off.

2. Everlane Modern Loafer

You can't go wrong with a loafer in nicer or formal events on your trip.

These shoes are the perfect balance of structure and softness: The 100% Italian leather is thick and sturdy but soft with wear.

For the first handful of times you wear them, you won't want to rely on this pair for long walks or walking-heavy activities. One piece of advice when purchasing the Everlane Modern Loafer: size up half a size because it is a narrow fit. But because these shoes are 100% leather, they wear well overtime after breaking them in.

The clean lines and slight heel make it a cinch to pair with jeans or a dress.

3. Rockport Cobb Hill Petra Mary Jane Flats

This is a fresh spin on the classic Mary Jane silhouette. These Mary Jane shoes are made of leather uppers and synthetic soles with a cushioned insole. The strap can be easily removed and slipped on.

The textile lining keeps the feet soft and breathable. The footbed is pigskin and textile-lined EVA foam cushioned for all-day comfort and support. The faux pewter trim is merely a decoration.

4. Teva De La Vina Dos Ellery Chelsea Boot

Cute, comfortable, and functional, these Chelsea boots were designed for the woman on the go. The boots are lightweight and come with a cushioned insole. They are also waterproof. You can walk on rainy weather or wet terrain.

For weekends in the country, this beauty offers endless comfort via a cushioned footbed, waterproof seam-sealed construction, grippy rubber soles, and stretchy elastic gore for easy on-and-off.

Teva supports the outdoor athletic lifestyle. These boots can take you even onto the rivers, trails, and canyons of the next adventure.

Ultimately, buy a quality pair of shoes that can last for a long time. We hope you gained from our suggestions.
