Pick the best Vacation Shoes with This 3-Shoe Rule

Dreaming of sandy beaches and beautiful sunsets? Don’t forget that your feet deserve a break, too. We’ve rounded up the best vacation shoes so your feet can enjoy feeling as blissed-out as the rest of you.


Seasoned travelers know that when it comes to comfortable vacation shoes, three is the magic number. We were inspired by Elite Daily’s packing tips: apparently, it is possible to pack for a month using just a carry-on bag. So we’ve taken the rule of three and put together our own shoe sets for summer destinations.

Shoes for a Beach Vacation

If you intend to explore beyond the beach, podiatrists recommend packing a pair of lace-up sneakers for longer walks. Star sneakers in canvas are the perfect vacation walking shoes. With the Active Curves & Pods® removable footbed, your feet will be supported and comfortable wherever your wanderings take you.

 Taos Star Lace Up Canvas Sneakers

For an evening look from your beach vacation shoes, try the embellished Prize 3 sandals. Adorned with medallions, these soft leather sandals team beautifully with a dress once the sun goes down.

Walking Shoes to Tackle a City Break Vacation

If you’re dreaming of seeing the sights while staying fashionable and comfortable, our Carousel 3 wedge sandals pair perfectly with any urban outfit. They look chic but with a contoured footbed, they also make comfortable vacation walking shoes for tackling cobbled streets in style.

For a lower heel, try the supportive Genie embellished sandals as your go-to shoes for vacation. With Taos Soft Support™ premium footbed with Cool Recovery Foam™, your feet can stay cool and comfy while you stroll the metropolitan streets.

As for the best vacation shoes for getting to your destination, you can’t beat the Twin Gore Lux leather sneaker. This is a lightweight, comfortable shoe for vacation that slips off easily for airport security.

Resort-Ready Vacation Shoes

When you’re feeling fancy, our Gift 2 sandals live up to their name. These have our Taos Soft Support™ premium footbed with Cool Recovery Foam™ so they’re just as great for more formal evenings at the resort as they are vacation walking shoes.
