The Hollywood Reporter has published a shopping guide, written by e-commerce writer Erin Lassner, rounding up seven women's trainers pitched as ideal for travel in 2026. The piece matters mainly as consumer and affiliate-driven fashion advice, arguing that a good travel shoe should combine comfort, style and versatility so it works not just on flights but throughout a trip — from sightseeing and train stations to happy hour and dinner.

The recommendations span a range of prices and categories. Highlights include the Golf le Fleur x Converse 1908 Jogger (£/$105) as "best overall", the metallic Nike Zoom Vomero 5 ($170) as "most versatile", Sandro's Light Wave leather trainers ($315) as "most elevated", the Bimba y Lola ballerina "sneakerina" ($205) for sceptics, and the slip-on On Cloudtilt ($170) as "most comfortable". The writer notes celebrity links, such as Zendaya's special-edition Cloudtilt Moon, and each pick is presented as personally tested by THR staff. The article carries affiliate commission disclosures.
