When you think of vacation attire, visions of sandals, sundresses, and swimsuits probably float through your head. But there is one very practical footwear style that often gets overlooked when excitedly packing for a warm-weather getaway, and that is sneakers. Even if your holiday will consist mainly of lying by the beach, pool, or in your hotel bed, we promise that a pair of vacation-ready sneakers is going to come in handy at some point during your trip.
Think about it—you'll probably also be doing some sightseeing or hiking, and you absolutely don't want to be caught dead wearing sandals at the airport. Therefore sneakers are your only answer, and that's a fact. Ahead shop our favorite vacation sneakers, including sneakerdrilles, printed sneakers, and more so that you are beyond prepared for any vacation activity that may come your way.
