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. We’ll recommend some of our favorite men’s and women’s travel shoes. European cities are designed to be navigated by foot and public transportation, and it is guaranteed 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, I highly recommend that you wear them only on special occasions. 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 Zappos. At Zappos, 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. Below you’ll find some great travel shoe options for women and men. We’ve tried to assemble a list of shoes, boots, and sandals that are both comfortable and fashionable. Trekking/hiking shoes look a bit like beefed-up athletic running shoes, and they’re designed for long hikes. This style of hiking shoe is a popular choice for many travelers because they offer a lot of support, they are generally lightweight, and most are waterproof — which is a huge plus. Unfortunately, it is pretty tough to find a “fashionable” pair, but these are probably your best all-around option if you travel during the snowy/rainy months or if you plan on spending a lot of time in the countryside.

Hiking boots will offer good support and will keep your feet comfortable on long walks, but they might be overkill for most travel since they are heavy and bulky. Most travelers would be better off using lightweight hiking shoes.motorcycle clothing buxton Casual boots are nice because they are more fashionable than sneakers or athletic shoes, but they are often still comfortable. motorcycle dealer rockville mdI prefer a dark leather (since it will hide dirt stains well — especially in the winter), but suede can be perfectly fine in the summer. motorcycles for sale bossier city laDo make sure you break in boots for 2-3 weeks before your trip.1200cc harley engine for sale

These will also benefit greatly from insoles.

There are plenty of fashionable options available. BENSIMON sneakers are some of the most popular and fashionable casual sneakers in Europe. You’ll see tons of trendy Parisians wearing them during the summer. They are available in dozens of colors and styles, but it can be a little difficult finding the full range of styles and colors in the US. I don’t think you can have them shipped outside France from their website, but there are a few retailers who carry them in the US. However, Superga makes shoes in a very similar style, so they’re a great alternative. Athletic shoes will likely be the most comfortable option for exploring the streets of Europe, but they are not the most fashionable option — but comfort is always more important when you’re traveling. Just be sure to pick a color other than white if you don’t want to be pegged as an American tourist. Flats are a great option for city travel because they are lightweight, comfortable, and can be casual or dressy.

Black or brown is the most practical color choice. Many flats don’t provide a lot of support, so it is advisable to add an insole to help improve comfort. If fashion is a top priority, these Cole Haan Air Bacara might be the perfect flat since they feature Cole Haan’s famous Nike Air technology, which provides a lot of extra cushion. They have multiple colors available, but I would stick with the patent leather options. Also check Amazon if they’re not available on Zappos. Sandals are great in warm weather, and there are multiple styles available — from dressy to sporty. Unsurprisingly, the “fancier” sandals tend to have less support than the sporty versions — so keep that in mind. I hope you’ve found this articles helpful!
