Happy Feet, Happy Travels. From beach holidays to hiking in the Arctic, here are are some must-have travel footwear, including a selection of Canadian brands.

Vessi

If any company would understand the need for dry feet it’s one based out of Vancouver. Vessi offers stylish, sustainable waterproof footwear for the entire family. As shoulder season and off peak season travel is booming, the weather in destination is likely to be less certain.

Fall in Europe will bring more rain than the dry, busy summer months. It means less crowds and better access to the sights but it does mean a different mix of footwear. Lightweight waterproof sneakers from Vessi will allow you to make the most of your vacation.

AllBirds

Comfort is baked into Allbirds DNA. Based out of Auckland New Zealand, Allbirds are as cute as they are comfortable. They offer everyday sneakers, actives styles, ballet flats are more. They are comfortable and super lightweight. Tossing in an extra pair into your luggage won’t tip the scales.

Their signature styles are made with premium New Zealand wool, keeping your feet cozy in cooler climates. One of the best things about Allbirds? They come in a variety of a colour including limited editions that sell out quickly.

Matt and nat

Another Canadian brand, this one founded in Montreal, Matt and Nat are know for their vegan products. They are committed to not using any animal-based materials in their goods. Matt and Nat also experiment with other eco-friendly materials every season. They do this to continually improve their sustainability practices.
