What are the best men's walking shoes for travel in Europe?

Best overall: the Hoka Clifton is the safest pick for most men traveling in Europe because it combines all-day cushioning with a reasonably light feel for long city walks.

If your trip includes cobblestones, rain, lots of stairs, and 15,000–25,000-step days, prioritize: cushioned midsole, grippy outsole, breathable upper, secure heel fit, and a colorway that can pass with casual outfits. Break them in before you go, and avoid bringing brand-new shoes straight onto the trip.
