Shoes I’m Packing for Vacation

After all…we are the stylish footwear experts.

And if there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s this:
the right shoes can make your entire trip easier (and cuter).

Here’s exactly what I’m packing:


1. Airport Sneaker (Wear This There + Back)

I always travel in a cute, comfortable sneaker, and Sam Edelman is my go-to.

They’re easy, lightweight, and still feel put-together—so you’re not sacrificing style for comfort. Plus, one less thing to pack.


2. A Neutral Heel for Dinner

You need at least one “adult dinner” option.

I’m packing the Sam Edelman Presley in Sienna Tan—it’s neutral, flattering, and works with everything from a sundress to a more dressed-up look.

Simple, but makes the outfit.


3. Beach + Pool Slide (Non-Negotiable)

The Birkenstock EVA Madrid is coming with me everywhere.

Perfect for:

  • The beach
  • The pool
  • Hopping on and off boats

And honestly…if it falls in the water, no big deal.

Backup option: Sam Edelman Bay—just as easy, a little more polished.


4. The Everything Sandal

A Birkenstock Arizona is always in my suitcase.

Post-beach lunch? Yes.
Walking around town? Yes.
Throwing on with literally anything? Also yes.

It’s the definition of effortless.


5. A Fun Wedge (Because Why Not)

I’m adding a Kork-Ease wedge for those casual dinners where you still want to feel cute.

Perfect with:

  • Silk shorts
  • Easy dresses
  • Anything that needs a little lift

Am I overpacking? Maybe.
Will I regret having options? Never.


Final Thoughts

Honestly…5 pairs might be the sweet spot.

You’re covered for:

  • Travel
  • Beach
  • Walking
  • Dinner
  • And those “I want to feel cute tonight” moments

And don’t forget—sunscreen on your feet.
It’s the one place everyone misses, and you will feel it.
