29 Trendy Nordstrom Shoes That Are Perfect for Travel
Not just any footwear will do.


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.
These would be perfect for nights out year-round.
I might even look forward to my next flight if I get to wear these.
How these haven't sold out yet is beyond me.
I suddenly feel the need to book a vacation.
These might be the most elegant silver shoes I've ever seen.
You can thank me later when you find yourself wearing these constantly.
They come in black too, and I might need both.
These are incredibly lightweight and comfortable.
Vacation is a great opportunity to pack a pair of red shoes.
