After months spent cooped up in my apartment, I'm heading on a two-week dream getaway around Europe. As the type of traveler who has to see anything and everything on vacation, I need comfortable shoes that can withstand hours of walking (read: more than 20,000 steps a day). After much consideration (and even some testing on the streets of New York City), I've landed on the four styles I'm bringing with me.
It should come as no surprise that most of the shoes on my packing list are sneakers, or at least sneaker adjacent. The trending styles I've picked from Puma and New Balance offer both style and plenty of comfort while still looking cute. My shoes need to carry me from a museum tour straight to dinner, so they need to be the perfect combination of cute and comfortable—and yes, I've found a pair of chunky sneakers that fit the bill. I'm also bringing along ballet flats from Rothy's to add some diversity to my rotation.
