We recently discovered the Baretraps shoe brand and love their fun sandals for spring and summer travel. As summer is fast approaching, at least in the Northern Hemisphere, their wide range of choices make great choices for that next getaway.
For example, the Baretraps Haydin Sandals come in several colors (YAY!!), however we went with a more neutral tan because it can go with so many outfits, a necessary when you’re traveling by plane and need to keep your luggage size small and your weight limits low.
Their Baretraps Haydin sandal is a bohemian-inspired laser-cut design and is oh so comfortable to slip into with its low wedge and contouring memory foam footbed. Truth be told, it’s a great sandal to have in a couple different colors since its design is so flexible and the comfort is so there.
We also loved the Baretraps Dasie, which boasts what they refer to as their Rebound Technology. Its vibration-absorbing molded outsole is textured to guard against slipping, while its comfortable cushioned insole is equipped with a protective antimicrobial shield. They’re incredibly comfortable, a godsend for those who love to trek around their favorite city for hours on end.
They offer this flipflop in a variety of color combinations, from navy (shown above) to gold, black and a bright multi-rainbow design. The sandal has Memory Foam Footbed, a Lightweight Outsole and Antimicrobial Spray Protection, which is great for avid travelers.
Its worth mentioning that sandals aren’t all that Baretraps offers. We love these Rosemary boots, so chic and stylin’ and in a lovely rich brown, making them a great go to option for those trips where you want to look a little trendier than others. Great for European city walks, for example.
This boot has a 15 1/2″ shaft height and a 2″ heel, with an inside zipper to make them easy to slip on and off. They also offer elastic goring on the outside of the upper calf for some additional stretch, a great feature when you plan to do a lot of walking. Another nice touch of this boot is the accent heel strap with buckle.
Two thumbs up for the Baretraps brand — we love discovering new lesser known brands and bringing them to your attention. So far, so good — they were a comfy option for two separate weekend getaway trips!
