Treat your feet right on your next trip with shoes that Travel Channel editors swear by.
Tieks Ballet Flats
"Any time I take a trip, my black Tieks are absolutely essential. They’re super comfortable, they go with every outfit and they can be folded in half to allow for painless packing in even the smallest of bags." — Alley Loope, Editorial Intern
$175; tieks.com
Sanuk Sidewalk Surfers
"I never go on a trip without my Sanuks. They’re easy to slip on and off, they're quick-dry (so I can go from water to land), they’re comfortable and they go with any casual outfit. I’ve had mine for almost a decade and they’re still in great shape." — Farima Alavi, Assistant Editor
$55; sanuk.com
Sanuk Yoga Slings
"The footbed is made from a real yoga mat if that tells you anything about their comfort level. Knowing I would be taking off my shoes often in Thailand, I bought these both for comfort and convenience. They’re lightweight, comfortable and easy to clean. Plus, they pack flat." — Kayla Kitts, Managing Editor
$17.10-$52.31; amazon.com
Nike Roshe One Sneakers
"My go-to footwear when traveling is my pair of Nikes. They’re super comfortable and lightweight. Plus, they’re versatile for outfit planning. I’m usually not a fan of wearing running shoes with non-athletic clothing, but since the design of this pair is so simple and sleek, I can usually pull them off with jeans or even a casual t-shirt dress.” — Laura James, Assistant Editor
$75; nike.com
Okabashi Wave Sandals
"Comfortable, with a massaging insole, and stylish too, these partially recycled shoes are great for the beach or summer vacations (they're waterproof, too) and are dishwasher safe so you can easily clean them up." — Felicia Feaster, Managing Editor
$22.99; okabashi.com
Rockport Waterproof Booties
"These shoes are attractive, easy to walk in whether traversing city streets or going off-road and perfect for sliding on and off when traveling through TSA or even on the plane." — Felicia Feaster, Managing Editor
$119.99-$139.99; rockport.com
Skechers Classic Cup Sneakers
"A good old pair of black-and-white slip-on Skechers. I’ve walked all over Manhattan and London in them without a blister or an ache. They’re dressier than plain lace-up sneakers so they look cute with a skirt, you can easily slip them off and on at the airport, and if your feet swell from flying or too much walking, Skechers are stretchy so they don’t hurt." — Jackie McGilvray, Editor
$65; skechers.com
Chaco Classic Sandals
"If it’s warm enough to wear sandals, Chacos are my go-to shoe for pretty much everything; they’ve gotten me through music festivals, amusement park trips, hiking adventures and much more. They offer the best support of any shoe I own, so I don’t have to worry about tired feet putting a damper on my trip. With more than 160 strap designs (from basic black to more vibrant patterns), there’s a pair for any style." — Shannon Petrie, Managing Editor
