These Best-selling Dr. Scholl’s Shoes Are Travel Planner-approved

Any seasoned traveler will tell you that a good pair of walking shoes can make or break your trip. From airport sprints to endless sightseeing, the right footwear is essential for staying comfortable all day long. Travel planner and stylist Amber Hendryx knows firsthand the importance of a good pair of shoes. 

Since getting into the travel planning business in 2016, Hendryx has helped clients plan their dream trips, inspired by her love of exploration, whether it’s a cross-country road trip or an international expedition. Plus, when she’s not jetting off to a new destination, she’s also a hairstylist, spending hours on her feet behind the chair. That’s why finding the right shoes has become crucial to keeping up with her lifestyle—and she’s done just that with the ultra-comfy Dr. Scholl’s Time Off Sneakers.

Initially, Hendryx was looking for a sneaker that offered comfort and versatility in the salon—and something she could wear traveling would be a perk. But when she came across the Dr. Scholl’s Time Off Sneaker, she found a unicorn shoe that could do it all—and then some. “I knew Dr. Scholl’s had a great reputation for inserts, and at the price point, it couldn’t hurt to give them a go,” she recalls. “Easily one of the best decisions.”

While Hendryx says her Dr. Scholl’s sneakers comfortably held up to full days at the salon without back pain or ankle swelling, what really sold her was wearing them on a lengthy road trip with hikes and city strolls—and experiencing zero discomfort. 

“Even though there were a lot of hours spent in the car, I also spent time exploring and tried to get at least 8,000 steps each day,” she says. “I did some small hikes during that trip, a lot of sightseeing in cities, museums, and coffee shop stops. Once I knew my feet were comfortable on the streets and in the car for 8 to 12 hours a day, I knew I could take these shoes abroad.”

Averaging around 20,000 steps a day while traveling internationally, whether on the cobblestone streets of Paris, stairs in Rome, or uphill terrain in the Alps, Hendryx’s Dr. Scholl’s sneakers deliver consistent support and comfort. In fact, she took a recent month-long trip across 11 European countries and relied on these shoes for a versatile option that allowed her to travel carry-on-only.

“Having a classic white sneaker that I can pair with my punchy cowgirl vibe, boho, or coastal beach babe style and be comfortable in the French Riviera, made it easy to fall in love with these shoes,” she says. 

For Hendryx, who has traveled Europe with New Balance 847s and Hey Dudes, the Dr. Scholl’s Time Off Sneakers did not disappoint. “My Dr. Scholl’s blew my Hey Dudes out of the water,” she says. “My ankles weren’t swollen, and I felt like I could easily put in an extra 5,000 steps if the daylight allowed for it.”

Hendryx isn’t alone in her love for these shoes. Several Amazon reviewers mentioned purchasing the shoes after they went viral on TikTok this summer. A quick search of these sneakers on TikTok ends up with thousands of reviews, many of which come from travelers who relied on these as the only pair of shoes they packed for a trip.

Because these sneakers come in over 40 styles, including classic white, cheetah, burgundy metallic, and even bedazzled gray, there’s a look for every wardrobe, whether you want a statement shoe or something to match every outfit.

While Hendryx knows her Dr. Scholl’s shoes have logged serious miles, she says she’s still impressed with their durability. “The miles I’ve put on these shoes should make me buy a new pair, and I just can’t bring myself to do it,” she says. “They’ve held up so well and still don’t cause any pain.” 

Even though she’s not quite ready to retire her pair of Dr. Scholl’s Time Off Sneakers, she knows exactly what she’ll do when the time comes: snag another pair.
