Most Comfortable Wedges for Travel
Written By: Sydney Woolery

Travel Fashion Help! A reader asks: Can you recommend comfortable wedges for Europe?
When asked if they should pack high heels for leisure travel to Europe, it seems that most women agree: skip the heels and pack comfortable wedge heels if you can’t do without a dressy shoe.
The cobblestone streets make it difficult to wear traditional heels so locals opt for wedges, too. We even have a guide about walking in heels on cobblestone streets.
Before you choose a wedge shoe, start by reading these guides on how to choose the best travel shoes:
- 10 Steps to Packing the Best Travel Shoes
- How to Choose the Best Walking Shoes for Europe

- Most Comfortable Ballet Flats For Travel
Don’t be fooled by their dressy appearance – these wedge heels are surprisingly comfortable and won’t make you resort to carrying that pair of backup flats in your purse. Pair with sunglasses and a pretty sundress for events such as a summer wedding or a nice meal.
With a fit that is simple and a look that is stylish, comfy wedges are an instant summer staple to add to your wardrobe. Our list features tried and tested styles recommended by our readers. Whether you wear these comfortable wedges for work or pack these in your carry-on, they’re sure to add an effortlessly fabulous touch to any outfit.
Note: We never recommend wearing wedges to walk for eight hours straight, as they might not be the most comfortable for all-day sightseeing.

I love the Sorrel sandals. So comfy! Thanks for posting!
I purchased 2 of this amazing wedges as a result of this article. The Rockport Bria wedges are SO comfortable!! Thank you so much for all the great shoe suggestions, you are my Go to!!
Ordered the sketchers wedges (slightly different model though) after reading the article. They fit perfect (even on my wider hobbit feet), are light-weight and super comfortable. I can walk all day in them and pack them every time I‘m traveling to warmer places. Due to their wider cut, they are not the most stylish maybe, but can still be paired with a nice dress for an elevated look. Highly recommended. Also the crocs wedges are super comfortable. Now I am contemplating to splurge on a pair of Naot as they look just too cute.
Will you be writing an updated list of travel wedge shoes? Thank you!
Hi Joanne, thank you for your comment. We are currently working to update all our articles to give you the best up to date advice and content. Happy travels! ?
Cole Haan Air are amazing!
They are ?
Also worth a try for style, long term comfort, and support is the New Zealand brand Ziera….I can personally recommend
Thanks for the recommendation Gai!
Nice collection of travel wedges, but I am a fan of OTBT travel wedges, they provide great support and just the perfect lift to height. https://www.otbtshoes.com/collections/wedges, their collection is so stylish and comfortable that it is just perfect for travelers.
Thanks for the recommendation Emma!
Wish you had included some choices with smaller wedges!
Good feedback! We’ll have an updated list this month including lower wedges:-)
I love wedges since my feet and flats just don’t play well together. Crocs are my faves, including the slingbacks shown in this post.
Glad you like them! We’ll have an updated list this month 🙂
I love the Clarks casual wedge sandal that fastens with Velcro – supercomfortable enough for travelling (if it’s not too cold) and can still look dressy and stylish.
Thanks for sharing Penelope! Sounds like a great option! Happy travels!
Totally agree with the Crocs wedges. I have 2 styles and can walk forever in them. I prefer wedges over flats.
🙂
I have a very comfortable pair of gladiator-style wedges from Soft Moc. I can walk all day in these!
Love gladiator style sandals – what style do you have?
When I go to Europe, I try to take as few shoes as possible. The Cole Haan wedge with Nike technology is perfect for dressy evenings.
Love Cole Haan!
I totally agree with the comments and posts about the Aerosoles! I love my Women’s A2 By Aerosoles Photoplush Espadrille Wedge Sandal in Buff Beige. I bought mine at Kohls, but you can order them online from TGT as well. They were amazing, got with everything, and so comfy I could wear the all day. I got a lot of compliments while I was in Belize asking about the.
Hi Angela, thanks for your comment! They do make some nice looking AND comfortable sandals. I’ve also seen them discounted at Famous Footwear too.
I travel with a pair of tan Aerosoles wedges too. They are the best. So comfy and so versatile.
There’s lots of cute recommendations!
