The best travel-friendly sandals will match your out-of-office wardrobe and your vacation agenda. Here are five options to consider for your next trip.

For a sporty wedge

The one-inch platform on these coveted Sorel sandals is surprisingly comfy, thanks to the sole made of EVA foam. The material is designed to be cushiony and shock-absorbing, so you can enjoy a little height without the regret.

For a perennial classic

Birkenstock’s anatomically shaped cork-latex footbeds have made the brand’s shoes synonymous with comfort. Their classic Arizona style gets an upgrade with a sleek, two-tone look and matching buckles.

For a trendy throwback

These chunky bubblegum-pink Velcro sandals from Danish fashion house Ganni hearken back to sunny days at school playgrounds in the best way. Plus, they’re made with 50 per cent recycled rubber.

For poolside lounging

Admittedly, these floral-print platform slip-ons from playful L.A.-based brand Simon Miller aren’t ideal for dashing around city streets. But the plush cotton-terry makes them irresistible for shuffling around the pool while on vacation.
