Suitable for vegans, these gorgeous sandals are created using entirely synthetic and plant-based materials, and the flexible rubber outsole ensures that they remain lightweight while still offering enhanced durability and traction.

I was thrilled when a stunning new pair of Hotter’s Tourist sandals arrived at my door to review. I am honestly a convert now and feel the need to be expanding on my collection sooner rather than later! Though they are not exactly designed for rugged terrain or excessive hiking in the wilderness, the textured traction on the sole means that you do still have a decent level of grip as you get to grips with the town, city, village, or general terrain that you happen to be exploring. If simple flip-flops are what you’re looking for in terms of a top travel sandal, then you should look no further than the Premiere Leather Braided flip-flops from Rainbow Sandals. With 100% water-ready synthetic and polyester webbing, these sandals are more than capable of handling wet conditions with ease. The rubber sole is designed to stay slip-resistant slips on wet flooring, and with a 0.5-inch platform and a 1.5-inch heel, they will easily support your natural gait when you walk. Sliders and slip-ons are perfect for use on the beach or around the pool, and footbed sandals add the comfort and support you need to enjoy long days spent taking in the sights.

Lightweight and easy on the feet, these sandals are great for wearing on the beach or around the pool and are strong and sturdy enough to last all summer long. With a unique design that wraps around the foot to offer increased comfort and support, your feet can breathe easily, even on the hottest of days.

The sole of the Nalukai sandals, where your foot sits, basically, is contoured to fit your foot for lasting comfort and support as you walk around your new surroundings. Something else that helps with comfort is the wide strap, helping your feet feel snug, while the nylon toe post is designed for all day comfort. There is, however, still a subtle heel cup, so that your heel is kept in place and won’t slide around. The Tourist sandals come in 8 different colours and three size fittings: Standard, slim fit, and wide fit. The style features a fully open toe with an adjustable strap across the top of the foot and another adjustable strap around the ankle to keep the shoe secure to your foot. Boasting a contoured and cushioned cork sole, these sandals scream comfort and style and the rubber sole provides longevity to increase the sandal’s life span. Then there are the more strappy, urban-type sandals, some of which are good for hiking, others of which it seems the straps are good for support, but maybe not for rugged terrain.

Style-wise, you’ll probably either love them or hate them and they may not be the thing you’re after for a chic city break (although, let’s face it, your tired trotters would probably thank you). Comfort, therefore, should be one of the top things that you consider when thinking about buying a new pair of travel sandals. Toes hanging over the front of the sandals are not just uncomfortable but also unsightly, and the toe box should be wide enough to hold the width of your entire foot at all times. But there is a surprising amount of choice out there in terms of sandals. From all sorts of different styles – flip-flops, watersport sandals and more – to the different levels of quality that can be found, there is a lot to think about.

Arriving from Chaco, the Z/Cloud Sandals really are some of the best out there. In fact, they are exactly what they sound like: they feel like clouds on your feet, they’re that comfortable! Enjoy incredible comfort no matter how hard the terrain with these awesome all-weather water shoes. Featuring washable webbing uppers and super grippy soles, these sandals are perfect for use when hiking, fishing, camping, and even just for wearing on the beach. An excellent choice for outdoor-loving adventurers, these sandals are just right for everyday wear, wherever you are headed.Basically like a hiking boot, but in a snazzy and streamlined sandal format, this KEEN Footwear offering will provide versatility and comfort… all whilst protecting your feet from the strains of walking, from the elements, and (most importantly) allowing them to breathe.
