Every traveler has experienced the struggle of trying to pack for vacation without exceeding baggage limits. Inevitably, some items — gym sneakers or an extra sweater — are discarded. Now, there is a solution for travelers hoping to keep up their fitness routines without adding bulk to their suitcases.

 

Some companies have fulfilled the need for portable gym sneakers by creating specially designed foldable sneakers. Although most running shoes are lightweight, these foldable sneakers are an innovative way to save room while packing without compromising fitness.

 

SOLZ shoes makes a stylish nylon sneaker in three colors. The shoes are machine washable and fold neatly into a small pouch. They resemble tennis shoes and can easily be worn as casual sneakers. SOLZ’s sneakers are designed to be worn without socks and retail for $59.99.

 

Similarly, FootSmart makes a foldable walking shoe called the Prophet Travel Walker II. These sneakers come in men’s and women’s styles and include a greater variety of widths and sizes than SOLZ sneakers. The Prophet Travel Walker is designed with comfort in mind and includes an EVA-molded midsole to absorb shock and cushion feet. While they are a good choice for long walks, the prophet Travel Walkers lack the visual appeal of SOLZ’s sneakers. Each pair costs $54.99.

 

For travelers looking to squeeze in a workout on their next trip or busy people who don’t want to tote an overstuffed gym bag, these foldable sneakers provide the ideal solution.
