The Best Walking Shoes For Your Next European Vacay, According To TikTok Travelers
Cute *And* Comfy Enough For 10K Steps
We might be knee-deep in a tariff-laden recession (oh, that’s America being great again, got it), but that doesn’t mean even the penny-pinching baddies aren’t making their way to Europe this summer! There’s something extremely healing about a vacation in any walkable city with efficient public transportation (cries in Los Angeles). It’s like a whole new world is right there at your fingertips — and, more importantly, your pinky toes.
Whether you’re traipsing through Tokyo or eating your way through Italy, all 10 of your piggies will be a critical part of making memories outside of your international Airbnb. The most important accessory you’re going to pack is a pair of comfortable walking shoes that do keep your feet supported all day, but don’t ruin all of your Instagram posts. I used my expert travel resume (and TikTok reviews) to round up the most comfortable walking shoes for travel.

Dr. Scholl’s Women’s Madison Lace Sneaker
Thanks to TikTok, these super cute, super comfy sneaks were brought to my attention. As an elder millennial, embracing Dr. Scholl’s feels just about right, and according to the viral TikTok, their only complaint was the scuffability factor, hence opting for this breezy blue.

Teva Flatform Universal Sandals
Hear me out: sometimes it’s too hot, sandy, or rocky for traditional sneakers. That’s where my crunchy girls will be well aware Tevas are the answer. These colorways are giving so much more than I’m going hiking.

Faux-Leather Chunky Buckle Sandals
This cushy pair from Old Navy is so day-to-night sleek, and all the reviews can’t stop raving about how “surprisingly supportive” they are.

Adidas by Stella McCartney Court Boost Shoes
I need my fashion killers to put those extremely expensive yet intentionally raggedy sneakers DOWN and delete from cart!! All of the Adidas x Stella collab creations are just as cute (if not way cuter), are a THIRD of the price, and have Adidas’ trademark smooth fit. I wear my pair with dresses and it doesn’t detrail the look, AKA these are perfect for nailing a functional travel fit.
