Travelling often means being on your feet for hours, exploring cities, wandering through museums, or scrambling to catch flights. It’s vital to have shoes that won't give out before you do. Converse sneakers are lightweight, making them easy to pack, and their cushioned soles make them comfortable for all-day wear. Whether you're navigating the cobblestone streets of Europe or the vibrant and busy streets of Asia, Converse keep you moving in comfort and style.

For those planning to sink their toes into sandy beaches or roam the historic streets of Europe, consider the Chuck Taylor All Star Shoreline Knit Slip Low. These low top sneakers blend the line between sandals and casual shoes, offering the perfect combination of ventilation, comfort, and style. The All Star Lite CX Sandal in Black and the Run Star Utility CX Sandal in Egret are both great options for travelling. Our wider range of sandals features slip on shoes to allow for a hassle-free holiday helping you make the most of your time away. 

The Run Star Motion Platform High Top reflects the energy of city streets, with playful and distorted lines that are built for future movement. The exaggerated, jagged sole provides superior traction and a style statement, ensuring you look and feel great when you’re exploring new urban jungles. The Run Star Sandal Utility Sandal helps take your warm-weather outfit to new heights, offering cushioning and style for all your sightseeing adventures. These shoes are perfect for a long day of exploring and navigating a new city to keep you comfortable while looking your best at the same time.

The sleek black canvas is versatile, allowing you to pair it effortlessly with any concert attire, from jeans and a band tee to a more dressed-up look.
