42 Comfortable Shoes For Traveling Without Pain

Note that it’s recommended to go up a half size in these boots to accommodate thicker hiking socks, and I found that to be true when I picked up these shoes myself — I’m normally an 8 but found an 8.5 in these to be totally comfortable. I also found that they hold up well even on my first hike — though I did admittedly still have some soreness around my heel area, this was after a hard, 7+-mile hike with lots of rocks and climbing, so I don’t blame the shoes. They felt comfortable right out of the box and super supportive when I was clamoring over rocks and rough terrain. 

Promising reviews: “I bought these boots for a trip to Iceland, and was so impressed with them. I didn’t break them in prior to taking them on the trip, and they were still super comfortable. They were great for walking over rocky terrain, and kept my feet dry when walking through streams or waterfalls. So glad I bought these.” —Megan Reynolds

“I found these shoes cheaper on Amazon than anywhere else. I wore them all through my trip through New Zealand and Australia and definitely recommend them. Very comfortable, waterproof, and durable!” —A. Bell-kammeyer
