Elite Daily’s 7 Best Travel Shoes for Women

Thanks to Elite Daily for including Xero Shoes in the list of 7 best travel shoes for women.

Here’s what they said:

The soles of these women’s travel shoes are exceptionally comfortable, which is especially impressive given how lightweight they are. While they don’t have a huge amount of cushioning, you can still walk around in them all day without your feet getting sore. Durable and super compact, the “barefoot-inspired” design means they don’t take up much room in your luggage (in fact, they can roll up into a tiny ball). On top of all that, they’re designed for high-impact activities where you’re getting dirty and sweaty, making them extra tough, too.”

What fans say: “I was eyeing these for a long time before purchasing – really glad I did! LOVE THEM. Way more comfortable than my old Chacos and much easier to travel with.”

Of course ALL of our shoes, sandals, and boots are super travel-friendly, whether you’re a man or a woman. given their lightweight and pack-ability.

Best Walking Shoes for Men from Footwear News

According to Footwear News, TWO of the best shoes for walking all day come from Xero Shoes.

In the article “The 20 Best Walking Shoes for Men to Wear All Day Long” (though I’m sure it only mentions men and not women for SEO reasons), Dr. Emily Splichal recommends a more minimalist shoe so that your feet can build strength (and she then recommends Xero Shoes in particular).

Dr. Splichal prefers barefoot-style or minimal shoes for overpronation, high arches or plantar fasciitis since these types of shoes can help strengthen the foot muscles.

“Various research studies have shown a correlation between minimal shoes and strengthening of the foot muscles,” says Dr. Splichal. “Strong foot muscles can help control overpronation or a flat foot, as well as offset the stress to the plantar fascia.”

Conversely, Todd Allen recommends shoes with structure, but he then says:

When it comes to shoe fit, Allen recommends making sure your toes have enough room to move comfortably in the toe box.

Interestingly, the only 2 shoes in the FN list that have that kind of wider toe box… Xero Shoes!

Thanks to FN for including TWO Xero Shoes, the Prio and the Leather Hana

Frankly, though, ALL of our shoes and sandals, and even our boots, are great for walking all day.
