How To Choose The Best Travel Shoes From Pretty Little Thing?
Support And Comfort
While looking cute is important, we certainly don’t want to let vanity ruin our vacation. Hence, we looked for travel shoes that are comfortable and supportive, above everything else. A good thumb rule is that if a shoe can bend from the middle without much force, then it’s not supportive enough and is too flimsy. This could lead to conditions such as arch and heel pain, like plantar fasciitis, due to less shock absorption and support.
Versatility
We only have so much luggage space when we travel. And if you’re the committed-to-carry-on type, then you might only be able to bring three or four total pairs of shoes. In such cases, ensure that you carry the most versatile pairs that can go everywhere you want, especially if you’re going to be out the entire day and won’t get the chance to change.
Intended Use
A huge factor in choosing travel shoes depends on what you’re planning to do during the trip. Are you going to be walking around on the cobblestone pavement all day long? Or will you be lounging on the beach for a better part of the day? Also, what will be the climate of the place where you’re going? We checked out all these factors before we invested in a pair of shoes for travel.
What are comfortable shoes to wear for a flight?
According to flight attendants, the best shoes to wear on a flight are flats or block heels. Also, closed-toe shoes are a better choice.
Can we use running shoes for traveling?
If you find the right pair of running shoes, then yes, there’s no problem in traveling with running shoes.
Are loafers good for travel?
Yes, loafers are stylish, comfy, and lightweight, thus making them the ultimate travel shoes.
