"Travel has a funny way of exposing weak links in your wardrobe, and shoes are always the first to betray you. It doesn't matter how stylish they are or how well they look in your carry-on-cute shoes mean nothing if they can't survive a full day on your feet. After one too many trips spent hobbling through airports and cutting sightseeing short, I decided this was the year to get serious about my travel shoes."

"I spoke with Dr. Anne Sharkey to get her expert take on which sneakers and walkable styles are actually designed for long travel days, from airport marathons to museum hopping. Her recommendations range from cushioned classics and slip-on favorites to recovery shoes your feet will appreciate after hours of exploring. Every pair on the list is available on Amazon, and with its long weekend sale happening now, now is the time to upgrade your shoe rotation ahead of upcoming trips."
