13 Comfortable Men's Slip-on Shoes for Getting through Airport Security

Climbing shoes-and Salomon's specifically-remain one of the hottest footwear trends: just ask Rihanna and Dev Hynes, who both appear to live in theirs on the road. There are a number of reasons we love Salomons for airport security. They're incredibly cushioned, slip on and off easily thanks to the brand's patented Quicklace system, and because they're built for summiting mountains, they're more than equipped for whatever you wish to throw at them on the other side.

Strongly recommended for all flights to Hawaii or the West Coast, there's not much more that needs to be said about these classic skater shoes. You've likely owned a pair at some point in your life, they slide on and off with ease from the second they're out the box, and they've been built largely the same way since 1977, with a price point that really can't be beaten.

Unchanged for decades for a reason, Clarks' historic Wallabees live at the intersection of comfort and style, with a quality leather build that guarantees they'll only fit you better with time. The slip-on boot version is great for airports and planes, especially: The leather keeps toes warm, and the high ankle coverage makes an overly air-conditioned airplane cabin a non-issue.

Blundstone boots can handle anything, from a sudden downpour in Copenhagen or Seattle to a run through the terminal to make your flight. The wide, rounded toe on the standard version previously meant the only thing Blundstones couldn't handle a formal event, but the Chelsea Boot solves all of that, with a shape that transitions seamlessly, wherever you're headed. The Blundstones also gain added points, like the Clarks, for their ankle protection.

Not only are they (still) all over your Instagram, Allbirds are also known for making shoes that feel like mattresses. Their wool slip-on loungers pop on and off with ease, and are sturdy enough for when you hit the ground on the other side and want to start exploring. They're also entirely machine washable (just be sure to let them air dry), so they can double as house shoes while you're not dashing through the airport quite as regularly.

The shoes that say "I deserve to be in this airport lounge." The penny loafer is a classic men's shoe, that once broken in really isn't all that different from a Vans slip on when it comes to comfort and ease of use. Sebago has been the go-to penny brand in the U.S. for decades, offering the lowest price you can pay for a pair that will still last you more than 10 years. Oh, and there's an added bonus: wearing them as your flight shoe means there's no need for extra dress shoes to take up precious packing space.

They may be best known for their boxing sneakers, but York Athletics also offers this lightweight, supremely well-cushioned slip-on sneaker for commutes and light training. Support is a key offering here-over 52 different measurement points went into the brand's proprietary shape and 50CC EVA foam in the midsole keeps the pep in your step. And for those who typically shove their foot forcefully into their shoes, the Gail comes with large front and back pull tabs for the easiest on/off experience.

Traveler contributor Timothy Latterner swears by these Doc Martens for pretty much any city trip-he's worn them everywhere from gravel park paths to cobblestone streets in Paris and the medina in Marrakech, and can attest to the boots' sturdy, supportive rubber sole. Plus, the flex webbing on the sides allows you to pull them on and off easily.

Modeled after the original Clean 360, this sleek slip-on will be one of the most functional and fashionably versatile pieces in your travel wardrobe. The shoe's made of 100 percent premium leather, with a leather lining and gold-toned logo stamp detail. For those who need a little extra support, find a removable cushioned footbed inside for daily wear.

For their latest collection, the cult-favorite Italian footwear label has reimagined the classic, rounded-toe skate shoe in mule form. While they do technically have a laced fastening, these white leather sneakers have no back constraint, making them easy to slip on and off in a pinch. We're fans of the fresh green-and-white colorway.

For these alone, we're breaking our laceless rule. Arc'teryx are best known for their industry-leading raincoats and windbreakers, but their shoe offerings rarely get the appreciation they deserve. Because they're built for climbing mountains, the Konseals are more than equipped to handle whatever hikes and walking tours await you on the other side of your travels. Despite their laces, they still come off with ease, and their Vibram soles offer unparalleled grip, whether on the terminal floor or the trails of Macchu Picchu.

Ideal for summertime or warm climates, woven-fiber espadrilles are part of the Saint Laurent brand history: The style is believed to have been invented in France in the 13th century, but was later popularized by designer Yves Saint Laurent. Espadrilles are making a comeback this season and Saint Laurent's take comes in a black canvas material with a stitched logo detail.

The Japanese brand Suicoke has led the trend of chunky sandals with bold silhouettes and tactical trimmings. These padded canvas open-toe sandals are emblematic of the brand's now beloved style, with a ridged footbed atop a wedge-style sole. The sandals are fastened with twin adjustable Velcro straps, and colorways include olive, navy, and red. If you're headed somewhere tropical for the holidays, this pair is worth bringing along.
