The Perfect Travel Shoes for Kiwi Women on the Go

Planning a getaway? Let’s talk about your most important travel companion… your shoes! ,  At Sole Sisters, we stock travel-ready styles that are lightweight, versatile, and  stylish — no sore feet required.

If you’re anything like me, you want shoes that don’t just survive a holiday – they make it better. Whether you're walking cobblestones in Europe, navigating airport security, or heading out to dinner after a long day of sightseeing, the right footwear makes all the difference. I’m talking about lightweight, supportive styles that keep your feet happy all day as well as still look smart enough for that cheeky evening wine somewhere fabulous.

That’s why I love travel-friendly brands like Woolloomooloo, Täōs and Euroflex. They're built for comfort but never skimp on style. 

What I always look for in a good travel shoe:

• Proper arch support - because sore feet ruin everything
• Breathable uppers to keep things cool in warmer weather 
• Easy on/off styles for getting through airport security, or visiting mosques & temples, or even just relaxing moments in parks or gardens - when a spontaneous moment of peace calls for kicking off your shoes!

If you haven’t tried Täōs sandals yet, you’re in for a treat. They’ve got amazing raised heel support which is great for anyone with plantar fasciitis (or just tired feet). The Velcro straps give you that perfect fit — especially helpful when feet swell in the heat. Thanks to European manufacturing standards, their cork soles are blended with polyurethane, which means they’re durable, chip-resistant, and waterproof — ideal for unpredictable adventures. They’re cute enough to wear to dinner, but comfy enough to walk all day. Genuinely a travel game-changer.

Emma, one of our lovely regulars, told me she wore her Täōs across Italy— “from the streets of Rome to Cinque Terre hikes and dinner in Florence — they were perfect!”

My packing tip? Pick shoes that work with multiple outfits and earn their space in your suitcase. Think neutral sandals, stylish sneakers, and something with a bit of sparkle for evening. Limit yourself to two or three great pairs max. You can do it!

If you’re heading away soon, pop in or browse online — we’ve got just the thing for your next adventure - your suitcase (and feet) will thank you.

See you soon,
