As a travel writer from Rome, I've come to learn that staying comfortable is key to maximizing your European travel experience. No one wants to be hobbling in pain, especially on uneven, historic cobblestone streets, trying to cram in a busy day of sightseeing. But prioritizing comfort doesn't necessarily mean you need to forfeit style; many walking shoes are supportive, stylish, and won't make you stand out as a tourist.
Wherever your travel plans are taking you this fall, you can prepare your wardrobe accordingly with discounted sneakers from popular brands like New Balance, Vionic, and Reebok. Expect to find several lace-up and slip-on styles within Amazon's Fashion hub, where there are deals starting at $31. Other recognizable brands with massive markdowns include Dolce Vita, Pumas, Steve Madden, and Naturalizer.
Toms Valencia espadrilles have a slight platform and versatile upper, available in various colors, with orthopedic insoles that make them comparable to sneakers for all-day wear.
This shoe has the sporty look of a traditional New Balance shoe, plus the silhouette of a penny loafer. It's beloved by fashion enthusiasts for its comfy feel and everyday style that can take you from the airport to the streets of Paris in style.
