ToggleI’m a sneaker snob, and while comfort is king, I’m equally unwilling to sacrifice style. I’m also cheap and am usually not willing to pay more than $100 for a sneaker. That’s why I’m sharing my roundup of the 5 best white sneakers for travel!
White sneakers go with everything, and while I’m traveling, it’s important to me to have a dependable pair for street wear that can transition to almost any occasion. Shoes take up so much precious space in luggage, and a perfect, comfortable pair of white sneakers means you don’t have to bring much else.
A pair that won’t get dirty easily (which is why you won’t see ANY canvas sneakers on this list) and I can comfortably wear sightseeing all day.

$69.95
My devotion to these Tom’s sneakers borders on obsession. They are comfortable, sturdy, don’t get dirty easily, and have a classic streetwear chic and timeless look!
Travel pro tip: Use this step by step quick guide to learn how to use Google Flights to find the cheapest flights (and break in those new sneakers!). Get ready for a comfy flight with these long flight essentials.

$38.99
This is a great budget streetwear sneaker that offers a little extra support and cushion. It’s not bulky, so you can still get away with wearing it casually.

$70.00
This sneaker is most similar to the Tom’s sneaker that came in at #1 on this list. It has the same look and feel, but offers a little more structure!

$122.00
These are hands down the most comfortable shoe in existence. I know that sounds dramatic, but it’s true. Why are they #4 on this list? Style. They’re not street fashion sneakers, but the versatile white has me pairing them with plenty of outfits that work. This is a great pair to ask your physician about it if you have knee, hip, back, or feet concerns.

$98.00
Versatile, comfortable out of the box, but at a slightly higher price point than #1 and #3. These cute sneakers aren’t on Amazon, but the JCrew website runs sales all the time— I’ve found these 50% off a couple of times!
This list is short and sweet because these are the ONLY sneakers I’ve tried that I really stand behind. I also want to put out there that I don’t have any medical concerns with my feet, knees, or hips. If you’re looking for specialty sneakers related to any medical conditions, consult your physician.
