Ask any frequent flier—comfort and convenience are key when putting together a travel uniform. The process of going through security, sitting on a long-haul flight, and schlepping bags from one location to another makes having the right gear essential in ensuring a positive traveling experience.
Hey Dude shoes, which are a Travel+Leisure-trusted brand, check all the boxes of practical and comfortable footwear, specifically the Wendy Stretch Sox that easily slide on and off and offer cushiony support. Their stretchy construction, breathable mesh exterior, and elastic laces make them a versatile and reliable pair that’s fit for summer vacations.

The Wendy Stretch Sox comes in nine colors, including neutral options like white, gray, tan, navy, and black, as well as a summer-ready pink shade with matching laces. They are also currently on sale for $50 in a vibrant blue shade, but nearly all sizes are sold out.
The slip-on shoes are lightweight, so they’re a practical pick for wearing through the airport or packing in a suitcase, and each pair has a removable foam insole for added comfort. The relaxed and casual design can be styled with jeans, dresses, or athleisure, and one shopper agreed, saying they can be worn “very casually or a little dressy.”
Not only are the versatile shoes a must-have for spring and summer travel, but the support will guarantee all-day wear no matter where you’re vacationing. Hundreds of shoppers gave this pair a perfect five-star rating, including one person who said they wear these daily for “eight to14 hours a day,” adding that they feel “like walking on clouds.” Another customer who wore them during a vacation to an amusement park said they “did not want to take them off” after a 10-hour day.
While the Wendy Stretch Sox are a solid pick for summer travel, Hey Dude has other travel-ready shoe styles to choose from. Keep scrolling to shop more options below.
