The Best Rated Travel Shoes to Take on Your Next Trip
June 11, 2008
With the airlines charging additional fees if you check a second bag, it is now more important than ever to travel with only the essentials. Having to pack multiple pairs of shoes can fill up that suitcase very quickly.
Think very carefully about the shoes you will take on your next trip as they are one of the your most critical pieces of travel gear
If a lot of walking is on the itinerary, purchase shoes that are made specifically for walking. Many travelers make the mistake of wearing athletic shoes that are not designed for walking long distances. The result is sore, fatigued and swollen feet. The other downside with athletic shoes is that they LOOK like athletic shoes. They are not appropriate to wear when out on the town or at dinner.
One of the best rated travel shoes for men, made specifically for walking are the Clarks Adjustable-Width Walking Shoe. They are like having 2 pairs of shoes in one. If swollen feet make your shoes feel tight in-flight or while sightseeing, just remove the peel-off insert embedded in the anti-microbial footbed for a little extra breathing room. The insert slips back into place in seconds. These attractive shoes are made of full-grain leather with a shock-absorbing midsole and slip-resistant rubber outsole.
For women, our top recommended and reviewed shoe is the Arcopédico® Queen Loafer. Made in Portugal, they are the ultimate in travel shoes. These beautifully designed shoes are extremely comfortable. and are constructed of non-binding, glove-soft leather. They feature a sanitized lining, and a shock-absorbing, anatomically designed “Foot Mattress” that evenly distributes body weight.
Don’t forget to pack the right travel socks to go with those new shoes. Compression socks aren’t just for use while in flight. Many of us wear them on the plane to improve circulation, reduce swelling and as a preventative measure against blood clots. Activewear compression socksare now available and they are great for walking. They are made of a moisture-wicking Dri-Release poly/nylon/cotton/spandex blend and have a cushioned bottom for extra comfort.
Don’t miss out some great site-seeing because you and your feet are tired and sore. With the right combination of clothing, shoes and socks you will end your day as refreshed and fatigue-free as you started.
