Tips to select shoes for Travel

Tips Memilih sepatu saat Travel

Picking the correct travel shoes is one of the most important — and most difficult — parts of preparing for your travels to Europe. This guide will help you choose the perfect shoes for traveling and we’ll recommend some of our favorite men’s and women’s travel shoes.
 



Comfort is More Important than Fashion

Metropolitan cities where navigated by foot and by public transportation — and it is no choice that you’re going to walk a ton each day. You can easily walk 7-10 miles a day, so you want to treat your feet well. Even standing for long periods of time in museums can be killer on your feet. Those fashionable, yet uncomfortable, shoes will make your entire trip terrible — I can’t stress this enough. But that doesn’t mean you have to wear ugly grandma shoes… it takes a little searching but it is possible to find comfortable shoes that also look fairly fashionable. If you must bring a pair of “impractical” shoes it is highly recommended that you wear them only on special occasions.

Tips for Comfort

  • Quality Socks – A lot of people spend a lot of money on shoes then throw on a pair of cheap socks, but quality socks are just about as important as the shoes. A good pair of socks will help prevent blisters, stop odor, and keep your feet comfortable. For more information about socks be sure to read our article about our favorite socks for travel.
  • Support & Insoles – Make sure your shoes have the proper support for your feet. A quality pair of insoles can make shoes and boots much more comfortable and they add extra support to flats.
  • Match Shoes to Destination – This seems like a no-brainer, but you need to match your shoes to when and where you’ll be traveling. A pair of flats isn’t appropriate for trekking through Iceland and pair of heavy-duty mountaineering boots probably is overkill for walking the streets of Paris.
  • Break In Shoes – BREAK IN YOUR SHOES! Ok, I said it. Purchase your shoes a month or two before your trip and make sure you wear them a lot before you leave.

Tips for Buying Shoes Online

Buying shoes online can be a bit tricky since all brands seem to fit a little differently. That is why I order my shoes from Zalora. At Zalora you get free delivery and free returns. If you’re not sure which size to buy, I suggest buying two sizes and then returning the pair that doesn’t fit. Zappos gives you a pre-paid return label and will refund your money within about 7 days — they make the process super easy.
