Just in time for summer travel to begin, we’ve been blessed with Memorial Day sales to stock up on the essentials needed for a smooth, stylish, and comfortable vacation. One of those must-haves is a pair of supportive and cushioned shoes that will provide an ache- and blister-free trip, and Target’s Hello Summer Sale has can’t-miss deals on so many styles worth buying during the holiday weekend.
If you plan on doing a lot of walking, grab a pair of comfy sneakers like this style from Asics that has cushioned gel technology. For a more fashionable option, Dr. Scholl’s Daydreamers are made with a flexible, lightweight outsole and are “super cute,” according to one shopper. Warm-weather travels also call for sandals that won’t tear up your feet, such as this durable, water-resistant Dearfoams pair with an anti-slip outsole that’s ideal for lounging poolside.
Best Comfortable Sneakers on Sale at Target
Target’s Memorial Day sale is packed with savings on sneaker brands known for their supportive styles that offer arch support and shock absorption, so if you’re generally active, it’s a good time to stock up. Reebok sneakers are marked down, along with Asics running shoes that are meant to be worn for miles a day and are up to 22 percent off. You can also find white sneakers that coordinate with any travel outfit, like this pair from Levi’s that’s half-off.
Asics Gel Venture 8 Running Shoes
Asics’ sneakers were designed for those who are active thanks to their cushy gel technology that offers shock absorption, plus an outsole with increased ankle support that’s made for hiking trails and off-road traction. The Gel Venture 8 offers “excellent support,” according to one shopper who walks “about 4 miles a day.” Grab the sneakers while they’re up to 22 percent off in nine different color combinations.
Levi’s Drive Lo Synthetic Leather Lace-Up Sneakers
This massive sale also has deals on sneakers that can just as easily be worn with a breezy dress as they can athleisure. These white leather Levi’s (also available in black, tan, and more) are designed with a mesh lining for breathability during hot days and a cushioned interior to provide comfort. One reviewer called them “perfect” and “essential white sneakers every wardrobe needs.” Shoppers recommend sizing down as they run a bit big.
Best Comfortable Sandals on Sale at Target
You can also find plenty of discounts on sandals for beach days, to wear with your favorite summer dress, or for comfortably walking around a new city. Find water-resistant styles like these Crocs and these Dearfoams slides, along with dressier, strappy styles like this handwoven Nisolo pair and this Journee Collection shoe with a basket weave design.
Dearfoams EcoCozy Sustainable Comfort Slide Sandals
If you plan to hit the beach or pool on vacation (or locally), you’ll want to snag lightweight, waterproof slides. This pair from Dearfoams literally has comfort in the name thanks to a contoured footbed with arch support that forms to your feet. For safety, the rubber outsole has anti-slip features, and they’re “perfectly comfortable,” according to one customer. Shoppers with wide feet and bunions also swear by the design.
Nisolo Huarache Sandal
Now that you can find Nisolo shoes at Target, it’s worth snagging this handwoven pair while it’s on sale. Perfect for wearing with flowy dresses, shorts, or lightweight linen pants, the leather sandals mold to your feet within the first three to five wears, so the brand recommends grabbing a half size down. They have a breathable design that’s ideal for hot weather, have shock-absorbing cushioning, and feature a no-slip rubber sole. One person called them “perfect for travel” since they’re “very comfortable,” and another said they’re a “dream right out of the box” since there was “zero breaking in,” while adding that wearing them feels like their “foot is being hugged all day.”
