Travel Shoes That Actually Keep Up: Our Favorite Picks for Summer Adventures

Travel Shoes That Actually Keep Up: Our Favorite Picks for Summer Adventures

If you’ve ever planned a trip—especially to somewhere like Europe—you know the struggle of packing the right shoes. You want something comfortable enough to walk in all day (hello, cobblestones 👋), but stylish enough that you don’t feel like a tourist when you head to dinner.

That’s exactly why we’re so excited about our Made in Europe Travel Sneaker Collection. These shoes are built for the journey—whether you’re hiking up hills in Scotland or navigating the busy streets of Paris.


Why We Love These Shoes for Travel

Travel teaches you quickly: uncomfortable shoes can ruin your day. These are our go-to features when recommending shoes for long days on your feet:

  • All-Day Comfort – Cushioned soles and supportive footbeds keep your feet happy from sunrise to sunset.

  • Breathability – Many styles include perforated uppers or open-air designs that help keep your feet cool—even in the summer heat.

  • Neutral Pops of Color – Soft yellows, sage greens, and blush tones go with everything but feel fresher than plain white sneakers.

  • European Craftsmanship – Handmade in places like Menorca, Spain, these shoes are built to last and styled with intention. (Some take up to eight months to make!)


Style + Support: You Don’t Have to Choose

One of the things I hear again and again from our customers—especially women—is:

“I didn’t realize my feet didn’t have to hurt.”

It’s a game-changer when you realize you can have style, support, and all-day wear without sacrificing one for the other. These sneakers bridge that gap beautifully.

In fact, one pair in this collection caused an actual frenzy at a Milan trade show. I was literally blocking people from grabbing them off the shelf before I could place my order. 😂 They're just that good.


Where to Wear Them

These sneakers are made to keep up with your every move. A few of our favorite places to wear them:

  • ✈️ Airports – Easy to slip on and off, with enough cushioning for sprinting to your gate

  • 🏰 Europe Trips – Designed for long walks on uneven ground (yes, even cobblestones and hills)

  • 🛍️ Everyday Errands – Elevate your look while staying comfy

  • 🍷 Evening Out – Sleek enough to wear to a casual dinner or drinks after a day of exploring
