I'm a big shoe person and honestly don't have too many criteria when shopping for them. I just go with what I like, but travel shoes are a whole different story. With every single pair of shoes I add to my shopping cart, I ask myself if they'd be good for travel. It's not always a deal-breaker if they're not, but I am more inclined to order a pair of shoes if I can see myself packing them for a future trip (or wearing them to the airport).
My ideal travel shoe isn't bulky or too heavy, it isn't made of a material that could easily be damaged (sorry, satin and light-colored suede), and it's a bit trendy. (I live in the South and work from home, so I like to pack my most trend-forward outfits when I travel.) With spring and summer travel season coming up, I took it upon myself to scroll through Nordstrom's vast shoe inventory with these bullet points in mind. Scroll on to shop the travel-friendly fruits of my labor.
Will we ever grow tired of Mary Janes? Not on my watch.
A trendy pair of sneakers is a must-pack for me.
These would be perfect for nights out year-round.
These aren't a want—they're a need.
I might even look forward to my next flight if I get to wear these.
It's the little bow for me.
Another lovely pair of Mary Janes for your consideration.
How these haven't sold out yet is beyond me.
Rumor has it that these are super comfortable.
To wear with all of your cute tennis-y travel looks.
Kitten heels are pretty much the only heels I travel with.
I suddenly feel the need to book a vacation.
This color is so versatile.
These might be the most elegant silver shoes I've ever seen.
The raffia makes these perfect.
A great option for a chic beach trip.
You can thank me later when you find yourself wearing these constantly.
So elegant.
Not your average slingbacks.
Great for a day of walking around the city.
They come in black too, and I might need both.
So chic.
Mansur Gavriel ballet flats are supreme.
This heel height is perfect.
Just add denim shorts.
These are incredibly lightweight and comfortable.
These will go with every summer outfit.
Vacation is a great opportunity to pack a pair of red shoes.
Last but not least…
