The base requirements for a solid pair of everyday sneakers are breathability, style and comfort, but a standout sneaker will also be packable. The internet has been gushing over footwear brand Suavs‘ flexible Zilker sneakers, as they don’t just show off a fashionable exterior, but come with a flexible build that can be folded down to fit into your luggage.
Rather than play Tetris with the items in your carry-on, the Zilker sneakers use a Digital Knit material made from recycled plastic bottles that can be flattened without ruining the sneaker’s integrity. It also means that when you slip on the shoes, the material will form and adapt to your feet to help you get the most comfortable fit.
The style comes in women’s and men’s sizing, with a 4.8-star rating (out of five). The shoes boast more than 2,900 five-star reviews, praising how “stretchy the material is” allowing you to slip your foot inside “without untying them.”

Women's The Zilker Gum
While the Zilker presents a foldable design, it’s also available in nine colors with three gum sole options to choose from. The upper comes with a sweat-wicking material that’s breathable and even washable to lengthen their freshness — especially after a long day of walking.
In terms of comfort, one reviewer was able to wear them for an entire trip without discomfort, saying, “I’ve walked in this shoes everywhere including at least 10 miles a day in Paris. They were perfect for comfort and style. Even did a photoshoot in Paris while wearing them!”
And the men’s sizing comes with just as many colorway options with the same benefits.
Men's The Zilker
Along with your classic neutral color options, the Zilker sneakers are also available in more statement-worthy shades including red, denim and olive green. You can also wear the shoes without socks due to its moisture-absorbing properties, while the sole uses a cushioned and grippy design to move with your foot as you travel.
One reviewer couldn’t get over the sweat-wicking properties, claiming, “my feet usually sweat in other shoes but not these,” while another shopper noted the shoe’s ease of wear, saying they “fit like a glove” and “slide on like a sock.”
