Cariuma Gave This Celeb-loved Sneaker Style a Comfy Upgrade for Summer—and It's Already Selling Out

Every traveler knows that comfy shoes are essential, but too often, that means sacrificing style. When you're logging over 10,000 steps while sightseeing, choosing comfort over fashion seems like a necessary evil. I've worn my fair share of ugly-yet-cloudlike sneakers—but no longer. Now, thanks to summer's biggest shoe trend, the Mary Jane sneaker, we can finally enjoy both fashion and function.
Celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence and Dua Lipa have already been spotted wearing iterations of the style, but there's one pair, in particular, that we're most excited about: the newly dropped Oca Mary Janes from Cariuma, the brand behind Travel + Leisure editors' favorite travel shoes (celebrities like Brooke Shields and Gabrielle Union have also given Cariuma their seal of approval).
As Cariuma's first flats-inspired silhouette, these black leather sneakers feature the sleek upper of a Mary Jane, plus the rubber sole of the brand's classic and celeb-loved Oca Low sneaker. Cariuma shoes are known for their comfort, and the Oca Lows are soft and comfy right out of the box, per shoppers and T+L editors. Needless to say, we're sure the new Mary Jane version will offer comparable comfort. That means you can take on European vacations, theme park days, and more walk-intensive trips with confidence.
The Cariuma Mary Jane shoes have a pull tab at the heel, which allows you to easily slip them on, plus adjustable straps that ensure a secure fit. Compared to traditional lace-up sneakers, these shoes are so much more convenient for airport days. They're just as comfortable, but slip on and off easily at airport security or your midday hotel stop.
What's more, these shoes come in four colors and prints, including leather and suede options. For versatile pairs to match any outfit, snag the sleek white or black leather options. Looking to add some pattern into your wardrobe? We also love the leopard print suede option, which features black leather accents and gold-colored hardware.
Whichever you choose, you can pair the Mary Janes with jeans, dresses, skirts, or even shorts. The possibilities are endless. We've even seen them styled with white crew socks, which gives these shoes a dressed-down look.
Some sizes are already sold out, so be sure to act fast if you're interested in this versatile travel shoe. Plus, keep scrolling for more comfortable, best-selling Cariuma sneakers that are perfect for summer travel.
