It's no secret that white sneakers are a travel wardrobe essential: they're typically more comfortable than heels or sandals for walking long distances, and they pair easily with activewear and fancy dresses, helping you cut down on precious packing space.
But as for which white sneaker is superior from the thousands of different styles, TikTok users swear by Dr. Scholls' Time Off Platform Slip On Sneaker as the unofficial "Euro Summer Sneaker" — and so do GH editors: "First and foremost, they’re insanely comfortable. I’ve walked nearly 10 miles a day on a European vacation in these without issue," says Jessica Teich, director of Editorial Commerce & Product Reviews. "They've got a nice platform without being clunky or heavy, and they feel supportive and well-cushioned." Teich even named these shoes one of her favorite products of 2024.

The best part? They're on sale. Thanks to a Memorial Day weekend discount, you can save $30 on these vacation-ready kicks. Get a pair in sizes 5.5 through 13 in both wide and standard sizes. Along with the classic white colorway, you can also shop them in more than 10 different color combinations to suit your style.
We like that these Dr. Scholl's sneakers offer style in spades, courtesy of their trendy platform sole and elevated faux leather material. "They don’t look like a traditional walking shoe, they look like a cute white sneak," says Teich. "The chunky sole adds height and is really trendy and cute without being too tall. I bring them on every trip."
These sneakers are technically slip-ons, so you don't have to worry about their laces coming undone while you're out exploring. What's more, they require no break-in period — according to Teich and thousands of five-star Amazon reviewers — so you should be able to wear them straight out of the box blister-free. That said, some shoppers wished they offered more traction on slippery flooring.
