I Have Designer Taste on an Amazon Budget, and These Rich-looking, Comfy Shoes Won Me Over-From $30

"When I put together my travel outfits, comfort is at the forefront of my mind, but making sure I'm not skimping on style is a very close second. One of my favorite ways to add a fashion-forward flair to any look is with a pair of elevated sneakers. While I wouldn't consider myself a sneakerhead, I'll admit I've curated quite the collection over the years, including my prized Adidas x Wales Bonner sneakers and my colorful Golas."

"While the shoes are undeniably chic, they are quite a splurge at $790, and it's difficult to find a wide range of sizes in stock. Luckily, you can get a similar look with these Lucky Step sneakers. The nylon and suede shoes have a subtle lift for added support and a durable, non-slip outsole. A shopper raved that the sneakers "look expensive" and are "extremely comfortable," while also noting that they walked all day" with "no pain" and "no blisters.""

Comfort leads outfit choices for travel, with elevated sneakers providing a fashion-forward balance.

Lucky Step nylon-and-suede sneakers mirror Loewe Flow design while adding a subtle lift, durable non-slip outsole, and reported all-day comfort without blisters. Tigeridea Mary Jane-style ballet sneakers provide both ribbon and regular laces to customize the ballet look for about $45. These alternatives enable high-end styling without designer price tags.
