Shoes are some of the most important items you need to pack on a trip. Because they take up so much room, they've really got to multitask. You’ll need pairs that are comfortable enough to keep you going all day, look great, and are well suited to whatever the itinerary has in store.

Whether that’s breezing through airport security, spending 12 hours sightseeing (without blisters), or taking an outfit from day to night for cocktails in the hotel bar, your footwear choice matters.
