When it gets close to the holidays, it’s so fun to watch b&w movies like Lady on a Train with Deanna Durbin. And that kind of a movie can really get us thinking, too: if you’re avoiding the TSA drama and will be traveling by train or bus this winter, what shoes should you pack? Here’s our list of top footwear picks, as recommended by readers.
Walking Shoes or MBTs
Shoes designed for walking are great when you have a lot of transfers planned for one trip. I’ll never forget a transfer I had in Miami—I was wearing the cutest leather flats with a big bow on the toe, but they destroyed my feet. I never thought about on-foot transfers until that day, but I never forgot, either.
Styling Tip: Wear your walking shoes with yoga pants and a tunic to make them look more natural.
Low-Heeled Knee-High Boots
These boots look chic, but they also are comfortable enough to wear all day long. One of the best things about knee-high boots for traveling is that you can wear them with long compression socks that go up to your knee. Your heel shouldn’t measure over 2” for ultimate comfort, and it should be slightly blocky.
Styling Tip: Try your low-heeled boots with a skirt to dress them up. Packing separates is always smart for the season.
Bright Flats from Cole Haan or Aerosoles
When you don’t want to give away the fact that you dress for comfort, try a brightly-colored flat shoe from a brand you can trust, like Cole Haan or Aerosoles. These smart shoes won’t let you down in the wardrobe department, and they also won’t let you down when it comes to comfort.
Styling Tip: Grab a colorful tote or satchel to being out the brightness in your flats.
Ecco and Clarks with Smart Socks
Ecco and Clarks shoes are two highly recommended shoes to select for spending time on your feet and looking good—and those two picks are the result of a lot of research. If you want to get a shoe that looks less “strictly business,” then it’s recommended you look for a black-on-black shoe. Wear socks that stimulate circulation.
Styling Tip: Get your smart socks in black so they show less wear.
Soft Ankle Boots with a Roomy Fit
If you want to be able to segue from leggings to roomy denim, make sure your boots can accommodate the tucking in of any pants leg. Soft boots with folds around the ankle can accommodate cuffed pants and tucked-in thick denim much better than skinny black leather boots, and that means you’ll look chic and feel good on your trip.
Styling Tip: Wear your soft ankle boots with black jeans to avoid traveling grim.
And we’re always accepting suggestions, too!

Boots that read glamorous and edgy are where it’s at for the FW 2010 season. Boots are anything but basic, with either embellished details for shine or a super high shaft that creates instant chic appeal. Boots can be worn with tights, leggings or jeans, making them a great investment that you’ll wear for years to come.
Go for simplicity with a bang with the Bucaneer boots from Matisse. These thigh-high boots are sexy, yet wearable. Black leather makes them a go-to pair of boots for any lifestyle and the extra tall shaft and decorative buckles at the side give them a trendy edge that will outdo your basic black flat boots. The boots have an interior zipper, making for easy access and a comfortable 2 ½ inch heel. There’s a fine line between trendy and trashy when it comes to thigh high boots, but these classic, equestrian-inspired boots will make you look of-the-moment when worn with a knit sweater and skinny corduroy pants, tucked in.

Knee high boots are fabulously classic, easy to wear and to style, and certainly comfortable enough for day-to-day wear. While most of us keep our favorite leather boots near, certainly there are times when we forget just how lovely they really are. As serious knee-high boot fanatics, we’d like to remind you of just a few of the reasons why these boots rock our world, so you can play around with your closet with a new sense of whimsy.
The Figure-Perfecting Factor. Knee high boots cover a multitude of sins, from disproportional calves to heavy ankles. If you’re not much of a shorts person and you certainly don’t do capris , you’ll still find it in your heart to love boots than slim you down and hide just about anything you’ve hated about your lower half. One look that’s particularly effective is the black opaque tight + black suede boot look, which elongates the legs and looks particularly chic.

Some people who aren’t “into” shoes don’t think of footwear as being particularly trendy– instead they imagine shoes as evergreen, simply added into outfits of choice at will. That can be true, but when you’re purchasing trend-conscious items at a lower price point, your footwear can look dated over time. If you like to think of your shoes as an investment, you’ll want to purchase high-quality basic shoes in classic styles to kick things off– they will never go out of style, and they’ll look darn classy, too.
