It’s been 2 years since my original post and would you believe the search is still ongoing!? It appears that it’s a hot topic in the media too. However, I think I’m a lot closer to the ultimate shoe than before. As an update, I’ve still been traveling primarily with my sneakers (my favorite daily driver is the Adidas Ultraboost Parley) as the main shoe that I wear around the airport, onto the plane, etc, and in my luggage I have also packed my Tory Burch Minnie and sometimes also pair of flip-flops or water shoes, depending on the destination. Given that I travel with a 19″ carry-on spinner only, I try never to have more than 3 pairs of shoes with me, and ideally only 2, including the one I’m wearing.

This post is mainly for the ladies! I feel like men have it so much easier with travel shoes. As a female, my criteria for travel shoes are:
Comfortable – can walk miles, which is often a full day of travel
Well-padded – so you don’t feel the ground
Cute – generally nobody wants to wear ugly shoes
Durable – so it doesn’t fall apart from the rigors of travel
Multi-purpose – looks good with any outfit including dresses/skirts, should be able to go from a whole day of walking straight to a nice dinner, helps keep packing light by not taking up precious suitcase volume, and eliminates the need to carry around extra shoes all day or have to make an extra stop by the hotel before dinner
Easy to clean – sometimes travel can get shoes a bit dusty/dirty
Lightweight and breathable – walking around all day can get uncomfortably sweaty
