20 Pairs Of Comfy Shoes For All Of Your Summer Travels

Or some extra water-friendly Tevas (they float!) *so* dang comfortable and lightweight, reviewers say they work beautifully for flat feet ~and~ super-high arches as well as swollen pregnant feet and even those with tendinitis.
Water-resistant Dr. Scholl's slip-on sneakers you can slide on and off in a snap whether you're going through security or just don't have the patience to fuss with shoelaces. Travelers swear by them for their wide toe box, cushioning, flexibility, and removable (aka replaceable) insoles, which one reviewer with plantar fasciitis calls a game-changer!
Super springy Hoka Clifton 9's which provide soft and even cushioning so your feet won't be any worse for wear even after a day of 20,000+ steps.
Birkenstocks Arizona sandals so good, that they've gone practically unchanged since they first started popping up on people's feet in 1973.
Reebok Club C Sneakers that 1) are hella comfy and 2) match just about everything so you have no excuse to pack multiple sets of shoes when one can do the job.
Rothy's slingbacks knit with the brand's supremely comfortable signature thread (which is spun from plastic bottles) that's freaking WASHABLE!!! The second they get ~funky,~ you can just pop out the cushy insoles and toss the shoes into the washing machine for a refresh.
Thesus Weekend Boots — the ideal choice for adventure travelers everywhere thanks to their seam-sealed water-resistant upper, anti-slip rubber lug sole, and temperature-control lining. While they're perf for hikes and other demanding activities, the versatile design lends itself just as well to brunch, window shopping, and putzing around town.
Reviewer-loved flatforms that are *so* comfortable and cute, people just keep returning to buy more colors. Luckily, there are dozens to choose from, so they won't soon run out.
Allbirds Tree Runners should you be the type of person who says "It's only 25 minutes away?? We can totally walk there!" even if you forget you're spending time in the suburbs and not NYC.
Everlane Italian leather "glove" flats that've won over thousands of reviewers thanks to their buttery soft leather design, which eventually molds to the wearer's foot for a custom-like fit.
Handwoven Plaka sandals with stretch-to-fit nylon straps sure to be your foot's BFF — not nemesis.
Simple flats that are easy to slip on and off at the airport and take up next to no room in your bag so you can go ahead and pack that sweater that you def won't need on your Caribbean trip but... like... what if you do and then you regret not bringing it??
Strappy flip-flops for those ready to graduate from Old Navy $1 flip-flops and onto something bigger and better (read: more durable). Baby steps, grasshopper, baby steps.
Iconic Chaco sandals with completely customizable straps so even if someone steps on the back of your shoe, you'll never step out of it! OFC half the fun of these is being left with a signature zig-zagged tan line that says, "Yes, I was vacationing somewhere warm." 😌
Handmade leather sandals that offer a barefoot feel. 🦶 While they're available in standard sizes, there's also an option to get them custom-made if you have particularly narrow or wide feet!

The mega online retailer has rolled out thousands of new discounts in honor of the savings event, and some of the best travel deals include brands that Travel + Leisure editors can't get enough of.

But GPS trackers can help you quickly resolve the headache of lost or stolen luggage. Flight attendants and travel editors alike trust Apple AirTags for keeping track of checked suitcases, from the baggage desk to baggage claim. And right now, they're on sale for their lowest price of $65. As a travel writer, I use my four-pack of Apple AirTags on every trip. One gets stuffed into my carry-on, one gets slipped into my wallet via an AirTag card holder, one gets stashed into my checked bag, and, if I'm driving my car, one gets tucked into my glove compartment—that way, I can easily find where I've last parked it at the airport. These packing cubes aren't just a great way to keep your clothes organized—they also free up tons of extra space in your carry-on. These Bagail packing cubes use a double-zipper system to squeeze the extra air out of your folded clothing, compressing them to a fraction of their original size. I recently bought this specific set for a solo trip to Puerto Rico, and I'm so glad that I did; not only did they help me squeeze five days' worth of clothes into my duffel bag, but they also helped me stay tidy and organized all trip long. Block out crying babies and noisy seatmates on your next flight with these Apple AirPods Pro 2 Wireless Earbuds. Currently knocked down $100 for Prime Day, these low-profile earbuds tout noise cancellation capabilities and personalized spatial audio, giving you a one-of-a-kind listening experience. Samsonite has earned a reputation for creating sleek, durable luggage that can last a lifetime, and this Prime Day, you can try out the premier luggage brand out for yourself while saving over $300 in the process. This three-piece Samsonite Winfield 3 DLX luggage set, 49 percent off, contains every suitcase you'd ever need—including a carry-on, a medium checked suitcase, and a large checked suitcase—for weekend trips to long-haul vacations. Made with scratch-resistant polycarbonate shells, TSA-approved locks, ergonomic telescopic handles, and an abundance of zippered pockets, this set is a steal this Prime Day. I bought this Charmast Portable Charger after hearing so much positive buzz from fellow T+L writers and editors, and now, it comes with me everywhere—to work, on planes, and even while out running errands. It's compact and has four charging cables for all of your devices already built in, including a Lightning cable, a USB-A cable, a USB-C cable, and a micro USB cable. The LED screen tells you exactly how much battery percentage is left in the power bank, so you know when you'll need to recharge it, and it allows you to charge multiple devices at once, so you can give your phone and Bluetooth headphones a boost in one fell swoop. Comfy sandals can help you soak up the most out of outdoor activities. Teva sandals are heralded by T+L writers and editors—myself included—as a summer solution to flimsy flip-flops and unsupportive flat sandals. These woven strappy sandals have Velcro straps that can be adjusted for a tighter or looser fit, a crucial component for comfort on long travel days. Vera Bradley has a wide selection of cute quilted bags on sale for Prime Day, but this rolling duffel caught my eye. Previously $190, it's on sale for as low as $86 right now—a shocking 55 percent off the original price tag. Featuring multiple zippered pockets, an adjustable handle, a TSA-approved lock, and separate bottom compartment for shoes, this roomy, water-repellant ripstop duffel bag is perfect for short getaways. Only have one outlet in your hotel room? No problem—this travel wall adapter can help you turn that single outlet into a premier charging station. Great for airport terminals, cruises, and even dorm rooms, this nifty plug-in adapter turns one wall plug into four, and touts an additional three charging ports for electronic cables. The coolest travel hack this summer: Packing your own personal fan. Beloved by flight attendants and travelers, this bestselling Jisulife Handheld Mini Fan is on sale during Prime Day. Over 50,000 Amazon shoppers have given a five-star rating of approval, noting that it's compact, convenient, and 'a must for those who run hot'.You won't have to hunt down a convenience store for backup batteries on your trip, either—this fan is rechargeable and can last up to 12 hours on a single charge. Having your electronics or fine jewelry stolen can be gut-wrenching, but losing your passport to a thief can be a travel nightmare of massive proportions. Keep your passport, IDs, and travel documents safe and squared away with this Travelon Passport Zip Wallet, on sale for $24. Inside are RFID-blocking slots for your credit cards, a dedicated passport sleeve, and a discreet back pocket for stashing your boarding pass or cash. This Eachy toiletry bag is a chic way to keep your makeup and toiletries organized while on the go. Covered in a faux leather material that's easy to wipe clean, this compact bag unzips to reveal multiple dedicated pockets and compartments, including a clear zippered brush compartment, elastic side pockets for bulky makeup products, and a large, open main compartment for lotions, hair products, and sprays. Choose from any of the 30 available colors to find a bag that suits your travel style. Stanley fans, rejoice: The water bottle brand has several styles on sale for Prime Day, and this Quencher H2.0 Flowstate Tumbler may just be the best Stanley deal we've found yet. On sale for $20 off, this tumbler is equipped with a leak-resistant top for easy sipping, a grab handle for carrying, and double wall insulation that keeps iced drinks cold for up to two days. Uncomfortable plane seats can be a real pain in the neck, but the right travel pillow can help you find relief. This Napfun Neck Pillow is a fan favorite among flight attendants, people who travel for work, and frequent flyers, and has earned over 12,000 five-star ratings on Amazon alone. Unlike squeaky inflatable neck pillows, this plush version is made up of supportive memory foam that cradles your neck, shoulders, and chin for ultimate comfort. One flight attendant spilled the beans on the gross things she's seen travelers do with the complimentary blankets, and ever since then, we've been going B.Y.O.B. (bring your own blanket) for every flight. This Eversnug travel blanket is 'soft, cozy and lightweight, but warm,' and conveniently folds up into its own separate travel pouch, transforming into a portable pillow, should you need extra neck support on a long flight or find your hotel pillows a little too thin for your liking. Stop giving your jewelry the Ziploc bag treatment; instead, treat it to a much-needed upgrade while it costs just $5 to do so. This mini travel jewelry case has separate compartments for your rings, earrings, and necklaces, and fully zips, preventing any pieces from falling out. This pint-sized jewelry case is perfect for short weekend trips and light travelers, but if you need some extra storage space, this brand has a larger version that's also budget-friendly. Plug out the rest of the world with these Skullcandy over-ear headphones, 60 percent off for Prime Day. Boasting 40 hours of battery life, these headphones come with immersive, adjustable sensory bass and can be attuned specifically to your listening preferences via a smartphone app. Reviewers say these earbuds "exceeded' their expectations, noting that the sound quality, performance, and playback time are top notch, beating out higher-end options.

The River Cruise Lookbook: Effortless Outfits for Every Stop Along the Way
Repeat after me: River cruises are not the same as ocean cruises when it comes to fashion. I learned this lesson after my first Viking vacation, sailing the Danube. I chose outfits for that trip based on my prior cruises aboard Norwegian and Princess, but quickly learned I'd committed two cardinal packing sins: I brought too much.I didn't bring what I needed. I'm a river cruise packing pro now, having cruised the Nile and Burgundy's canals. Learn from my mistakes. Here are tips for packing a smart and stylish river cruise wardrobe. Ready to explore the world? We can help. Think of your river cruise boat as a floating hotel where you relax at the end of busy touring days. This differs greatly from ocean cruise ships that offer 24/7 entertainment, dining and activities. I know many cruise lovers who never visit a port. For them, the cruise ship is the vacation destination. Onboard a river cruise, there are no formal dinners, nightclubs or shows that require special occasion dresses. There are usually no fitness centers or pools. And you'll be touring a lot on a river cruise. Comfy shoes and day outfits are essential to stay fresh. The good news is that it's much easier to pack for a river cruise if you avoid overthinking and packing a lot of "just in case" items. For my Egyptian river cruise, I debated packing a second bathing suit for days until I reminded myself that I was the only person who dipped into the Viking hot tub, and I did so exactly once. Outfit Essentials for Busy Excursion Days Pricing for river cruises routinely includes multiple daily excursions. I didn't skip one on any of my cruises. The days were long, busy and wonderful. You'll want comfortable outfits in breathable fabrics. And don't forget layering separates to add and subtract as the temperature changes. Consider packing the following for touring days on a river cruise: Flowy midi dresses, relaxed button-down linen shirts, tailored fabrics: cotton, linen, tech for morning/evening chill or air-conditioned or shoulder bags for city stops. You're Only as Happy as Your Toes Expect to log thousands of steps on a river cruise, possibly 20k or more. You'll want comfortable walking shoes or sandals unless you want to be limping by Day Three. I favor Brooks running shoes or Teva sandals. They're lightweight, supportive and come in enough color and style options so you can find one that's cute enough. After Dark on a River Cruise It's super quiet when the sun goes down on a river cruise. Groups gather in the ship lounge for cocktails and conversation. Often, there's a casual lecture about the next day's sights. There might be entertainment, but it's low-key, not a Broadway-style production like you'd find on an ocean cruise. Dress for your river nights like you're going out to a restaurant dinner on a Saturday with your best friends. Casual chic is the best way for me to describe the look, and here are the key elements: Versatile dresses, dressy tops + trousers, accessories like scarves and jewelry for color and neutral sweater or light jacket for cooler evenings on deck. Be Prepared for Weather Sunscreen is your skin's best friend. Pack one that smells great, so reapplying is a treat, not a chore. Your hat and sunglasses will feature prominently in your photos. Be sure to choose ones that make you feel great. You'll project that confidence in your pics. Other weather-ready items to pack include: Quick-dry layers or packable jackets for rainy for biking or hiking suit and swimsuit cover-up for a hot tub dip. About that hot tub…if you choose to soak, you'll likely be climbing into the tub in full view of your fellow passengers. I felt comfortable in a modest one-piece. And I was happy to have a cover-up to toss on for lounging on the deck. Restrict your wardrobe color palette for mix-and-match outfit packing cubes. On cruises, I remove them from my suitcase and put them in the stateroom dresser, so unpacking takes just a few minutes.A travel steamer or wrinkle-release spray works wonders to freshen your clothes so you can get the most wear out of them.A power adapter is essential for cruising abroad. Because you don't need multiple special occasion outfits, swimsuits and shoes, it's quite possible to pack for your river cruise in a carry-on. However, if I've leveraged a free checked bag by using my airline credit card or upgraded my seat with points, I'll bring a bigger bag. The extra room means I never have to say no to a souvenir.
