9 Cute Travel Sandals Mom Can Wear on Vacation + All Summer Long

The Ultimate Cute Sandals For Moms

Walk into any New York City playround in summer and you’ll spot several moms wearing Saltwater Sandals. They’re a perennial favorite with my readers, too.

These woven leather sandals are waterproof but don’t look like crunchy sport sandals.

They come in colors ranging from versatile olive to flashy rose gold. And they were made to wear with casual sundresses.

Choose the classic sandals (right) or the Retro collection with a smaller weave.

They come in kid sizes, too, making it easy to shop for the whole family.

A Cute Sport Sandal For City Travel

2. I bought these Simply Stretch Reggae Slims from Skechers for our summer trip to London.

They’re technically sport sandals and the molded heel, arch support and grippy soles make some of the best women’s sandals for walking long distances—like say, across the East End of London.

The slim, stretchy straps are easy pop on, and make look much less like a sport sandal than the other styles in the reggae collection (though the leather and cloth Reggae Treks are great, too).

I like them so much with skirts, dresses, shorts and summer pants that I bought a second pair this summer. And I walked across Venice, Greece and a small part of Turkey in them.

4. If you like a more traditional gladiator sandal, Dream Pairs also has this ankle strap style that comes up higher and has more of a back.

They have the same walkable heel and comfortable stretch straps of their other popular gladiator flats.

Cork-Soled Slides For the Win

7. I have become a devoted fan of Worishofer slides and 711 sandals.

Cork soles make these sandals light so they’re among the most comfortable sandals for walking that I’ve ever had. I can really go all day without my feet getting tired.

I’ve bought them in blue, black and red but actually find the gold the most versatile. And they add a little bling to whatever I pair them with.

When You Need a Sport Sandal

8. Sometimes you just need the performance of a sport sandal — for summer fun like tubing or a day at a theme park.

When I do, I turn to Chaco. Choose fat straps or skinny, toe loop or no toe loop, muted solid colors or playful patterns.

I’ve never gotten a blister from this brand and the soles really really last.

9. Better-Than-Your-Average Flip-Flop

Flip-flops are so essential for travel they’re on my packing list at any time of year, not just summer.

I’ve become addicted to flip-flops from Vionic because their molded soles have some arch support. And they come in playful summer colors and patterns.

Vionic makes some of the most comfortable sandals for problem feet and I’m a fan in general.

These cost more than bargain-store flip-flops, but will last through many more more summer vacations and keep your feet happy.
