We all know the value of a good pair of trail runners—and we also all know that those tech-trimmed beauties scream "traveler" when exploring some new urban stomping ground. To circumvent that immediate association, pack a pair of Campers, a Spanish shoe company that melds hand-crafted quality with über-hip style and absolute comfort. The entire line—from rain boots with soles made of recycled materials to all-leather vintage sports shoes to silky-smooth suede to creatively-mismatched "twins"—reinforces what most women instinctively know: the shoe speaks to the soul of its wearer. Of the copious options, we side with the Industrial and Brother lines—shoes that articulate both sensibility and style. But regardless of the one that lights your world, chances are, they'll become the most comfortable pair of shoes you've ever owned.
$80-$180; www.camper.com
