One of the most frequent questions I get is the following…
What are your favorite boots and shoes to travel with?
While it definitely depends on the type of trip—if I’m doing a lot of walking on cobblestones through European streets, a bit of exploring outdoor terrain, or hiking through the backcountry—there are a few brands of boots and shoes that I’m particularly fond of.
Curious as to what some of my faves brands are?
Typically I find my preferred kicks from the following: Sorel, Danner, Frye, Doc Martens, Free People, North Face, Allbirds, Converse, and Vans.
Without further ado, here are my go-to boots and sneakers for traveling!

While I’m traveling, I like to stick with shoes that can pair well with lots of different ensembles—no need to overload my bag with kicks I’ll only be wearing once or twice.
You can’t go wrong with a classic pair of Converse or Old Skool Vans!
I also like to pack a pair of super comfy sneakers for days when my feet really need some extra love (cobblestone streets of Europe where I’m walking 7+ miles a day, I’m looking at you).
Plus, they’re perfect if you find yourself wanting to get a hike or workout in!

As Lady I surely find is very difficult to decide which pair of boots I should carry on my travels. I don’t want to give up on my favorite ones that easily. So I decided to look up articles and came across this blog of yours. So glad I stumbled upon this article. Brilliantly articulated and very informative article. I absolutely love Doc Martens and Timberland boots, by far my favorites. Thanks for the help.
Hey there! I’m glad you found this 🙂 It can be tough to narrow down which boots and shoes are best for the location, but Doc Martens are a personal fave!
Loved this list. Which are the light tan ankle boots with minty green laces?
Hi Stephanie! Those are the Sorel Ainsley boots — I believe the minty green lace ones are sold out in almost every size though 🙁
