What to Look for When Searching for the Perfect Vacation Shoe!

Summer is here, and that means vacations, weekend getaways, and spontaneous road trips! But let’s be real… trying to pack a different pair of shoes for every outfit or activity? It’s a surefire way to hit that dreaded 50 lb luggage limit.

Instead of shuffling items around your suitcase on the airport floor (No shame! We’ve all been there), we’re here to help you find the perfect vacation shoe that does it all. These are our top tips for choosing the right pair to keep you comfy, stylish, and stress-free from takeoff to touchdown.

Tip 1: Lightweight and Packable

With rising airline fees and stricter baggage policies, keeping your suitcase light is more important than ever. The best travel shoes are lightweight, easy to wear, and take up minimal space in your bag.

Pro tip: when packing, place the soles of your shoes together and flatten the tops to make them as compact as possible.

Two great lightweight options from Diba True:

  • Per Shing – Stylish yet streamlined, this one won’t weigh you down.
  • Papy Russ – A flexible, breathable favorite for long days on your feet.

Tip 2: Easy to Style with Your Color Pallet:

As much as we love a bold, funky shoe, it’s smart to prioritize versatility when packing. Look for neutral tones or metallics that will mix and match effortlessly with your vacation wardrobe.

Some of our go-to picks:

  • Advo Cate – Available in both silver and gold, this sandal complements warm and cool tones beautifully.
  • Have We Met – Crafted in a rich tan leather, it’s earthy, neutral, and pairs with practically everything.

Bonus: If you find you have extra room after packing the essentials, then go ahead and toss in that statement shoe!

Tip 3: All Day Comfort

Let’s be honest, relaxation is hard to come by when your feet are aching. Whether you’re strolling from your hotel room to the pool or exploring cobblestone streets all day, comfort is key.

At Diba True, comfort and style go hand in hand. Our top picks for ultra-cozy travel shoes:

  • Prod Igee – Designed for maximum comfort without compromising on style.
  • Chau Fer – Supportive, stylish, and ideal for long days on your feet.

Tip 4: Dress It Up or Down

Versatility is your best friend when traveling. A shoe that works with casual daytime looks and dressier evening outfits means more suitcase space for souvenirs (and less time changing).

Two favorites that go the distance:

  • Law Less – A minimalist sandal that pairs perfectly with jean shorts during the day and a sundress at night.
  • Carn Ival – Wear it to the beach, then dress it up for dinner and cocktails.
