Meghan chose the Crocs Kadee flats for her travel shoes and would definitely pack them again.If you’ve only ever associated Crocs with the clogs they became famous for, Meghan’s Kadee flats review is a must-read. Keep scrolling for all the reasons these flats might be your next favorite travel shoe – as well as some HPL recommended alternatives.What You'll LearnChoosing the correct type (and quantity) of footwear for traveling can be daunting. Shoes typically take up most of the space in luggage, so I hate to pack a pair only to end up not using them.When on the hunt for a day-to-day walking shoe that would get me through seven weeks in Asia, in addition to one pair each of running sneakers, flip flops, and sandals, I was especially looking for:On past trips, I packed canvas slip-ons but they only fit a couple of the above requirements. When Crocs were recommended to me my mind immediately went to the cumbersome clogs they’re most well known for, but after browsing through Crocs’ website and discovering that they offer a ton of different styles and colors, Crocs were looking like a good option.Eventually, I purchased the Kadee Flats and am so glad I did. Since then I’ve noticed many other women wearing them, both when traveling and at home, usually in the black or grey color.Let’s revisit my requirements and break them down into pros and cons after my seven-week trip:A lot of support: Thanks to the Croslite™ foam cushion and “circulation nubs” under your sole, these provided support for all day walking around.Comfort: These did take some breaking in (see “cons” below) but after that were very comfortable (see support, above).Waterproof material: These dry so quickly! Use a towel or allow them to air dry overnight.Easy to slip on and off: Yes! I was able to just slide my feet in and out without using my hands.Breathable but offering more coverage than the sandals I packed: These are breathable thanks to their “stylized holes” at your heel and near your toes. On really cold nights I wish I had more coverage on the tops of my feet, but those low temperatures weren’t the norm during my trip so for the most part I was thankful for that breathability.Affordable: I purchased these on sale through Amazon for $13.99, but they’re still affordable not on sale at $22.15. Click here to see all the Crocs prices on Amazon.Packable: These shoes are not very big and you don’t have to worry about squishing them under your other belongings since they’re so durable. That being said, I tended to wear them during transportation to save room in my luggage as well as for comfort and easy slip on and off on trains, buses, and planes.Would I pack Crocs Kadee Flats again?

I can’t imagine traveling in anything else.ReplyThanks for this – I never even thought to check out crocs for lightweight, supportive, water-proof travel flats!ReplyI have had a pair of black Kadees for years and love them. They are great for normal use, but my recent trip to Thailand was the first time I walked extensively in them in high heat and humidity, and the rubber really chafed my heels. Otherwise, they are light, cute, durable, waterproof, and easy to slip on/off, ergo awesome for most use cases. Side note – your feet get sun but your toes don’t. 🙂ReplyI find the colors get dingy after a while but they perk up to nearly brand new if you use a magic eraser on them. I just clean them while I’m taking a shower lolReplyI find that my feet sweat in rubber/plastic closed toe shoes. Verdict?Reply
