I love to buy a few new things right before a trip, but I’ve learned the hard way that bringing a new pair of shoes on vacation doesn’t always work out well. I’ll never forget spending six miserable hours walking around San Juan, Puerto Rico, in a pair of flats I hadn’t yet broken in—and of course, ending up with a painful blister.
That’s why I’m always down to take recommendations on comfortable travel shoes. So, today, I’ll be that friend for you. Amazon’s October Prime Day event, officially known as Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, kicked off today, and there are thousands of shoes on sale, meaning you can’t let the sale end without grabbing a pair or two. So, I scoured Amazon’s inventory to find the most comfortable shoes on sale right now, including deals on sneakers, slip-ons, flats, hiking shoes, boots, and more from brands like Nike, New Balance, and Vionic.
If you find your size and preferred color in a pair of shoes, you know the deal—shop quickly if you don’t want it to sell out. Here are the 47 most comfortable shoes on sale for the fall edition of Amazon Prime Day.

Best Walking and Running Shoe Deals

If you’re like me, there’s no debate that sneakers are hands-down the best shoes to pack and travel in. Plenty are designed for all-day wear, meaning you won’t be dying to take them off as soon as you land, and some are even fashionable, so you can arrive at your destination in both comfort and style. But sneakers are also probably some of the most expensive shoes in your closet, making this Amazon sale a great opportunity to save. One deal you can’t pass up is the versatile Veja Women’s V-10 Sneakers, which are over $30 off. The stylish sneakers are a favorite on travel days when you’ll be walking a lot, but want to be picture-ready. If you’re looking for something a little sportier, you can grab the Brooks Ghost 16 Neutral Running Shoe for 29 percent off. The shoes feature a rocker-like construction that makes for smooth heel-to-toe transitions, meaning your feet can go longer before getting tired.
