Hoka transport GTX!!! They're slip on, slip resistant, and waterproof!!! I work 12hr days on my feet and love them!

Water resistance and breathable are really two different things, and they don’t normally come in same shoe. For me, I normally wear my Norda 001 (Dyneema fiber) for water resistance, it is super lightweight and comfortable.

1. You cannot ask about comfort online ever as that's a personal metric.
2. You cannot ask about water resistance online ever as that's not a metric. You either want waterproof shoes or you don't...which is it?
3. You cannot ask about breathable online ever as that's a personal metric. And if you want waterproof shoes, that's a lightswitch metric as they will either not breath at all or not breath when they are wet.

We have no budget. We have no use case. We don't know if you are a man, woman or attack helicopter. We don't know your current location so we might recommend a local source.

What do you consider to be "travel shoes"?

My new balance 530 never failed me even if I go for long walks during travel.

I take Asics.
Either Kayano's or GT2000's.

They are comfortable and good to walk in for many km.

Merrell. ASICS have good walking shoes. New Balance are good.

If you want a pair of indestructible walking shoes that's light and almost waterproof, Scarpa. Italian, expensive but 12 years oj still eff all wear. Black magic I tell you.

I tend to favour lightweight trail shoes because they can do double-duty in town or if you head-out into nature. I usually bring a pair of Birks (e.g. Arizonas) or something sportier like Chaco’s, depending on what I plan on doing.

I think it depends on weather. For me if it’s raining or snowing or cold, I want boots. If it’s hot I want sandals or light sneakers.

Favorite boot: Lems Boulder Boot, waterproof. Favorite shoe: Adidas Ultraboost or Johnston Murphy XC4

Hoka

Running shoes from Asics.

I stick to runners mainly

Tevas!

Still hunting for the perfect pair, but my current go-to is a lightweight pair of trail runners

For me it's Allbirds but ymmv.

For non-summer trips, I toss my slip ons or sneakers in my bag and travel in Chelsea boots. My work attire is on the more casual side so my day to day work shoes are all black sneakers.

The ones I love don't hold up in rain all that well either but I swear by dr scholls madison slip ons. I've walked 10+ miles in a day, consecutively, with them. Done 6+ hour days working retail in them. And they're great for travel because of the easy on/off.

I wear short booties when I travel for work. They're both comfortable for longer walk and looks sleek for work. It is also acceptable in my work to wear sneakers and tennis shoes for work too so I sometimes wear monochrome On Cloud or Vans. Especially if you're going to do a lot of walking, something that is comfortable is the most important. 

Ecco Soft 7 sneaker boots! So comfy, breathable, and look good with shorts, jeans, dress pants, and skirts!

I once had a pair of all birds as work shoes. Their sole is very cushy, but I found it didn't offer very much support. I often had back pain at the end of the day from being on my feet.

I believe I have the vegan ones and they were just straight up fabric, so not really good in wet conditions

I like Cole Haan”s Oxford sneakers and Birkenstock’s Low Bend leather sneakers. Both are comfy, but attractive.

In warm climates, chacos have brought me everywhere I’ve wanted to go!

Have a look at Clarks. Had great luck with them on a three week summer trip and have worn them at home too.

Vionic, birks or allbirds

I am going to Europe in June and I plan to bring a pair of Veja sneakers, Birkenstocks and a chunkier heeled sandal (that I probably won’t wear because I heard the cobble stone streets are not kind to heels).

I bought my first pair in hopes of looking less like a tourist in Europe! I think they're called Samara. Looks like similar styles are on sale at Nordstrom right now. Enjoy your trip!

blundstones - wear for everything. i work, party and hike in mine.

All birds are very comfortable but little to no support anywhere on the shoe (arch, ankle, or otherwise). I wear them for running errands or short walks, but if I wore them for a (standing) work shift or out all day shopping or something, my feet hurt.

Ironically I bought them specifically for a trip to Spain. They were fine... I brought significantly more uncomfortable shoes so maybe it was in comparison. My feet hurt at the end of every single day from just the amount of walking so hard to tell what was just the sneakers!

Another option IF YOU HAVE TIME TO BREAK THEM IN could be Cole haan grand Crosscourt, they’re super simple and cute and after a few months (long, I know) they’re my favorite cute-but-comfortable walking shoe. But they do have a thin sole, so maybe not the most supportive choice.

Skechers GoWalk

Hi! I had plantar fasciitis before, ung super sakit na. Ngpa therapy ako sa Philippine Orthopedic sa Salcedo Makati. Nag okay naman ako after ilang session, i also used skechers go walk, and insoles na biofresh, meron cia sa watsons or SM dept. after a few weeks, i dont need any of those pero gingamit ko pa din ung insoles. My recent travel to Korea, skechers shoes gamit ko pero di na go walk type, kinaya naman. But yes, skechers go walk is the most comfy.

I have plantar fasciitis din, better go to a doctor so they can recommend an in-sole that will help. After getting a customized insole, never na sumakit yung feet ko kahit na mumurahin na sneakers lang. But otherwise, I use Asics GEL-1130. Pasabuy business ko sa Japan so pag "business days" almost 30k-40k steps din.

You got a lot of shoe suggestions already but I’d like to emphasize the importance of the type of socks you wear, too! I swear by wearing compression socks during long walks. Even when I’m not wearing the comfiest shoes, I can easily manage 20k steps a day without feet or leg pain.

Ultraboost. Tested and proven. Kahit mag lakad ka whole day kaya.

Yung hoka sana kaso too bulky for travel.

Pero isa casual shoes ko for all around is adidas advantage. Good din ang mileage ko, pero it doesnt offer the cushion ng ultraboost. Better than stan smith.

• New balance 530 — di ako binigo neto sa Japan • Adidas Ultraboost — di ako binigo neto sa South Korea

Grabbed a pair of Asics Gel-1130 and I just did 110,000 steps in NYC last week. Probably the most comfortable sneaker I've ever owned. I also have a pair of Hoka Clifton 9s and I'd say they're also comfortable but the Asics were better for actually walking long periods in and looked better overall.

Hoka. I got a pair of the Bondi 8 model and they became my favorite shoe to wear. They are extremely comfortable for all day wear. Also Altra has great models for all day wear shoes. Hope this helps.

Throwing out Brooks as a great brand. Honestly, your best bet would be to go to a running store & and try on as many different styles as possible. For something that you plan on wearing for hours on end, having random recommendations on a forum isn’t the best way to go about it. Get fitted based on your foot and go from there. You nixed NB most likely based on their current style-centric offerings but they have plenty of performance shoes and even some crossovers with shoes like the 99x series.

Saucony, New Balance & Asics are all terrific options

You said no NB but the fresh foam 1080s are like the comfiest shoes I’ve ever owned. Practically all I wear now.
