I'm a Former Travel Agent, and Here Are 12 Walking Shoes I Recommend to Every Traveler

"To help you find the best footwear for your next trip, I've thought about packing advice I used to give my former clients-like why slip-on shoes are so convenient for travel. I also considered which sneakers stood out among our T+L testers. And, as someone who owns over 100 pairs of shoes, I considered the options I personally own and wear often. Here are my 12 top recommendations for comfortable walking shoes, with prices starting at $50."

"As I mentioned, I own more than 100 pairs of shoes, and these Kiziks are the most comfortable sneakers I have by far. I love the cushioning, arch support, high-rebound foam, heel stabilizer, and breathable mesh material. Best of all, I highly recommend this slip-on style for travel because you can pop them on or off without using your hands and instantly start your day. They come in both women's and men's styles, with tons of color options to choose from."
