Clogs, in my humble opinion, are the queen bee of fall footwear trends this year. And now that my shoe closet has amassed a variety of different styles (many of which are the first additions to my packing list throughout the year), I feel confident in applying my knowledge of this fun and functional look to make selections for your own travel wardrobe. Fortunately, many of my favorite retailers provided no shortage of options to choose from.
From laid back picks like the Rothy’s Casual Clogs to my personal favorite Birkenstock Boston Clogs, I’ve rounded up the 12 slip-on shoes you won’t want to leave behind for your next trip, no matter your personal style. Best of all, I’ve uncovered picks starting as low as $29, so even if you’re new to testing the waters of the formerly frumpy fad, you’ll be able to do so without blowing your travel budget—although I’m fairly confident you won’t regret the investment.
Rothy’s The Casual Clog
Rothy’s
Easy to slip on and off and made with machine washable hemp uppers, Rothy’s The Casual Clog are a fall vacation essential that provides the comfort of slippers with a slightly more refined look. The footbeds are contoured and extra cushy for impressive full-foot support, and the outsoles are made from grippy rubber so you won’t have to worry about slipping. I can confirm they’re comfortable straight out of the box (and look great with everything from jeans to my favorite lounge pants!), and right now they’re on sale for just $119.
Quince Water-repellent Suede Clog Mules
Quince
The soft, water-repellent suede exteriors of these Quince clogs gives them an expensive, high-quality appearance, but you’ll be impressed to note that their $70 price tag is a fraction of the cost of other retailers of similar styles. They’re crafted with cushy insoles for full-day arch support as well as a lightweight design that ensures they won’t be a burden within your suitcase. Adjustable metal buckles on the straps allow for a snug or loose fit depending on your preference, and they come in three stunning neutrals that’ll integrate easily into your travel wardrobe. They’re so well-loved that they’ve even earned an impressive 4.8-star average on-site.
Old Navy Studded Clogs
Old Navy
Add a pop of personality to your travel footwear collection with the Old Navy Studded Clogs that come in a darling cow print and will spice up even the simplest outfits in your suitcase. While they’ve already sold out in half sizes, they remain in full stock in sizes 6 to 11. Something tells me the $37 price tag will ensure they won’t be in stock for much longer. Adjustable straps across the heels promise to keep your feet firmly in place without causing discomfort through walking tours and beyond, and they’re a fun way to play with fall patterns without going over the top.
Birkenstock Boston Oiled Leather Clogs
Gilt
The Birkenstock Boston Clogs are one of the most popular iterations of this footwear trend (and undoubtedly my favorite travel shoes), and right now the oiled leather clogs are on sale for just $140 at Gilt in EU sizes 35 to 41. The cork insoles are designed to mold to your unique foot shape with repeated wear for a perfectly tailored fit, and the sturdy uppers won’t break down even if they become your go-to everyday shoes. They’re slip-resistant, incredibly comfortable, and on-trend for the season—and they’ll match with anything.
Kidmi Suede Clogs
Amazon
Similar in appearance to the traditional Birkenstock clogs, this suede Kidmi pair boasts a significantly more affordable price point while still providing arch support and style. The slip-on design ensures they’re convenient for getting out the door in a hurry during busy travel days, and the simple beige colorway will be easy to pair with a multitude of pieces you likely already have on your fall packing list. Shoppers have shared that they’ve “traveled with them [and] worn them through rural areas and they’ve held up all the same,” and right now they’re on sale for 30 percent off at Amazon.
Ugg Goldenstar Clogs
Ugg
Uggs are known for their pillow-like comfort and chunky style, and the Goldenstar Clogs are a great way to upgrade your fall fashion while remaining travel-ready. The versatile slip-on shoes can be worn casually or dressed up with wide-leg pants to nail your streetwear style, and the thick heel straps ensure they’ll stay securely in place without slipping around. As the weather grows colder, these cozy slides will become an unparalleled favorite, and they’re so lightweight that you won’t hesitate to add them to your suitcase even if you’re packing in a rush.
Dankso Talulah Mule Clog
Amazon
Made to combine comfort and style into one easy to slip-on shoe, the Dansko Talulah Mule Clogs are the perfect addition to your seasonal packing list—especially while they’re on sale for under $100. Leather uppers are the epitome of quality while contoured footbeds provide ample support, and the curved outsoles and slight platform make this iteration slightly more elevated and fashion-forward than other clogs. But rest assured shoppers love them for their “subtle, comfortable, and flexible style,” with one person adding that they were easy to wear with “various outfits following ankle surgery.”
Easy Spirit Pine Clogs
Amazon
These heeled clogs with understated silver buckle detailing are the slip-on shoes you didn’t realize your fall wardrobe was missing, and right now they’re on sale for just $86 at Amazon. Made with 100 percent leather uppers and cushioned insoles, these upscale clogs bring fashion into the traditionally functional style so you can travel in them without sacrificing your outfit potential. They’re lightweight and perfectly packable without taking up too much space in your suitcase, and shoppers have confirmed that they’re “easy to walk in” and “fit well.” Whether you pair them with wide leg pants or a flowy maxi skirt, they’ll be a standout accessory for your adventures.
Crocs Unisex On the Clock Slip-resistant Clogs
Amazon
Crocs have come a long way from the original hole-filled design, and now you can snag a pair of solid (and super lightweight) clogs from the brand that you’ll reach for time and time again throughout your fall travels. While they still boast a slip-on design, this pair covers your heels for a slightly more snug fit, but rest assured they’re still comfy straight out of the box and suitable for long days of walking—just take it from this nursing student who’s constantly on their feet that these clogs are both “durable and comfortable.” They’re certainly more casual than other styles, but if you’re looking for a breezy pair of shoes to slip on for your next long-haul flight, these are exactly what you’re after.
Dr. Martens Zebzag Water-resistant Slingback Clogs
Nordstrom
Fans of traditional Dr. Martens boots will also adore these chunky slingback clogs since they’re a simple, edgy addition to your seasonal travel wardrobe and they’re water-resistant. While they’re a slightly bulkier choice, the styling potential of these shoes is unmatched (think maxi dresses, trousers, jeans, and more), and their simple black color will make them easy to wear everyday. Cushioned footbeds offer essential comfort for sightseeing and other travel activities, plus they’re adorned with the classic yellow stitching that sets the brand apart from the rest.
Flexus by Spring Step Giller Boiled Wool Clogs
Nordstrom
With their stunning bordeaux coloring and easy slip-on design, these clogs are a cozy and functional statement piece for the season that channels the witchy fall style of iconic films like Practical Magic and The Craft. Incidentally, their comfort and ease of wear makes them a must-have for traveling since they can be styled numerous ways throughout your trip, and the high-quality, soft wool uppers will feel just like wearing slippers but with a little more refinement. At just $60, they’re far more affordable than similar styles—plus, they’re available in a full range of sizes from 5.5 to 11.
Sorel Rein CB Clogs
Nordstrom
For a practical yet colorful take on the clogs trend, the Sorel Rein CB Clogs are an effortlessly cool pick, and their rubber toe caps and platform soles visually set them apart from the crowd. The color combination of forest green, black, and pink is unexpected yet subtle enough to wear regularly with a wide range of bottoms, and they’re unencumbered by a strap at the back so you can truly slip them on and go. They’re even available in five other color combinations including rose and beige, black and white, and solid brown, so you can be as playful with your wardrobe as you’re comfortable with.
