The jetsetter’s essential.

The season of spending time with friends and family is upon us. Booking a trip domestically or overseas is only half of the equation when making one’s travel plans, though. Your wardrobe is an integral part of your stay, from discovering local styles to maintaining sartorial flair throughout your extended business trip. The garments and footwear you choose can make or break your experience. The trick is to find a shoe that mixes and matches with anything in your carry-on to save you space and time. We did the legwork for you and found the ideal flat that can be dressed up or down and is built with cushioning technology necessary to keep you on your feet for long periods. Build up your frequent flyer miles in Samuel Hubbard’s Kicks. Priced at $225, this silhouette offers a hybridized style that blends a loafer and an oxford. The result is a cool, versatile look imbued with the comfort sensibilities you need to stand up to hours of exploring from day to night in whichever destination you choose.

Streamlined engineering and minimalist detailing come together in the Kicks flat. Rendered in Buffs or Pool Blue full-grain leather or Midnight suede, it features a minimalist upper that promotes heel-to-toe breathability with laser-cut perforations throughout. Elasticized gussets and a reinforced heel tab aid pull-on entry to get you out the door quickly. Luxurious glove-leather lines the interior for durability and cushioning you can count on. The female-specific design employs a removable Triple-Density memory foam insole topped in smooth leather for a personalized fit. Setting the stage below, deep sipes in the XL EXTRALIGHT ® synthetic outsole bend naturally with the foot, creating a flexible, stable platform that supports the underfoot through each step.
