A travel shoe should be comfortable to support your feet through different activities, but versatile for wear with multiple outfits in your suitcase, too. As a frequent traveler, I swear by Vionic for shoes that combine style and function. Trust me, I've walked thousands of steps around the world in the brand, from wandering around Paris in my Uptown Loafers to exploring Chicago in my Colbie Sneakers.
Vionic is also podiatrist-trusted and expert-backed—many of the brand's shoes have the American Podiatric Medical Association's Seal of Acceptance. Whether you're looking for ballet flats or walking sneakers, every style features the brand's signature Vio-Motion technology, which has built-in stability, arch support, cushioning, and flexibility for all-day comfort. It's no wonder Oprah is also a fan and previously included Vionic on her Favorite Things list for three consecutive years.
Now is the perfect time to try the brand for yourself because many Vionic styles are marked down during Amazon's Memorial Day sale, with savings of up to 62 percent off. Keep scrolling for the 15 best deals for your travel shoe collection, starting at $50.
I've traveled all over the world with my Vionic Uptown Loafers, from Paris to Cape May, N.J. Not only have my feet never hurt after walking over 10,000 steps in them, but they've actually gotten more comfortable over time after molding to my feet. Whether at home or on the road, they're the shoes I reach for when I want to dress up an outfit but know I'll be on my feet all day. In addition to being stylish and comfortable, they're also packable—the soft upper basically condenses flat, so they take up minimal space in your suitcase.
My go-to cream loafers are easy to pair with different outfits, but they also come in a whopping 32 styles, a mix of leather and suede colorways. I might have to snag the dark denim for my next trip.
Whether you're looking to get in on the Fisherman Core trend or are searching for a comfortable shoe for your next cruise, there's no denying that boat shoes are having a moment right now. This style combines an espadrille platform with a slide-on upper for a fun summer vibe. The soft leather is breathable while the contoured footbed is supportive. They're practically begging to come on your next coastal trip.
There's something about a square-toe ballet flat that's extremely flattering on the foot—take it from a 5-foot-tall girl, it's a design that will elongate your legs. While many shoes in this style feel thin and flimsy, this pair offers Vionic's signature footbed with built-in arch support and shock absorption. And at 39 percent off, I won't blame you for adding all five colorways to your cart.
If you don't already pack a classic white sneaker for every trip, this match-everything pair will convince you to. The sleek leather style is durable and stylish, perfect for week-long trips to new cities. One reviewer traveled to Peru for seven days with only these shoes before properly breaking them in, wearing them 'from city to boat to sand dunes to waterfalls to hilly city to Machu Picchu and down.'
Another shopper raved, 'Very comfortable and helped with my plantar fasciitis while walking around Disney.' And if a white sneaker still isn't for you, don't worry—the Winny sneaker also comes in eight other colorways.
A platform sandal will give you a lift while keeping your feet feeling good. This style features two adjustable straps to ensure your foot stays in place and a rubber heel for better traction on any surface. There are four colorways available, ranging from a neutral raffia to a bold blue.
A slip-on sneaker you can easily pull on and off makes going through the airport a breeze. This variation has a perforated upper design that's both eye-catching and breathable. I'd bring it on a European summer getaway to pair with everything from gauze maxi skirts to linen mini dresses. And at 54 percent off, you might as well grab multiple hues.
One of my most complimented travel shoes is a pair of silver ballet flats that I reserve for fancy dinners (though, this style comes in a whopping 21 colorways, so there's bound to be at least one option that catches your eye). They have a flattering square toe and a whimsical bow to dress up your vacation outfits. Plus, they come in normal, narrow, and wide variations to accommodate any foot. 'With narrow feet that need arch support, these are fabulous,' said one reviewer.
If you prefer a ballet flat with more support, this Mary Jane style could be exactly what you're looking for. It offers the same cushioned bottom and lug sole as my favorite loafers, but with a more minimal upper and adjustable Velcro strap to keep your foot in place. 'I love that they look good with pants, skirts, or shorts, and provide walking support and comfort while looking fashionable,' said one shopper.
A classic pair of loafers will become a staple in your travel wardrobe for many trips to come. This low-profile style would match everything from jeans to trousers. Throw them into your suitcase for days when you'll be on your feet and need a comfortable shoe but want something dressier than sneakers. Perhaps for a day of shopping and afternoon tea in London?
These slide sandals have a curved footbed that provides extra arch support and molds to your foot. The buckle is adjustable to ensure a snug fit, which one reviewer said even worked for her two differently sized feet. Plus, it makes a style statement, especially if you opt for the vibrant red or yellow colorways.
After returning from trips to the Galapagos and Colorado, I have a newfound appreciation for sturdy hiking shoes. The bold colors originally caught my eye, but these sneakers also feature rebound and alignment technology to keep your feet pain-free on any terrain. They're also water resistant, so they're sure to stand up to different climates.
These light pink suede slip-ons add a feminine touch to any travel outfit. They might feel out of your comfort zone, which makes this Memorial Day sale the perfect time to snag them. Plus, the built-in arch support will keep your feet comfortable whether you're sightseeing or wandering around a museum.
Everyone should have a sandal that's versatile enough to transition from pool days to sunset dinners. These slides have a cushioned footbed and platform heel to keep you supported while you walk around your resort, but they can also be dressed up for nighttime outings. They come in eight different colorways, including neutrals and pastels.
Worried about your foot moving around in a slide sandal? These supportive flats might be more your speed, with two adjustable closures and a back strap to keep your foot in place. One traveler who brought them on a walking-heavy trip to Los Angeles found herself reaching for them more than any other shoes she brought with her. 'They fit perfectly, and the Velcro allows [for] any adjusting in case of swelling,' she said, adding that the wide width is another bonus.
These beachy sneakers are adorned in seafoam green boucle that will add a fun pop of color to your summer outfits. Part of Vionic's sustainable Beach line, the materials are eco-conscious and breathable. Plus, they're machine washable, so you can easily clean them after your adventures.
