Travel Shoe Recommendations

This entry was posted on June 30, 2011 by admin.
We are often asked by our customers to recommend shoes for their upcoming trips. Our female customers are often looking for good, comfortable shoes that also look good with a skirt. Read below for recommendations from “Abbadabba” herself, also know as Janice Abernethy.
I have faced the same concerns myself and this is what I chose:

• Naot sandals
• Mephisto walkers
• Keen water sandals and mary janes
• Salomon trail shoes
• Chaco flips
• Vibram FiveFingers

Of course, I was traveling for a month and was going to be walking as well as hiking, both in jungles and on city streets, so I needed to cover a lot of bases. But what I tell everyone is that no single shoe can do all things. Not only that, but you should never wear the same shoe day after day (especially if you sweat in them or they get wet). Your body does not benefit from being entrained to respond in the same way and to the same shoes day after day. We benefit from varied stimuli. Plus, the shoe has no time to "refresh" and regain it's memory.

What I usually recommend as bare bones for most women is a basic slip-on style from an outdoor brand like Merrell or Keen that can be worn as a city dress/ walker. Many of these styles have the added advantage of being weather proof. Add to that a hiker from a brand like Salomon, and you are good to go for most activities both on and off the trail. Picking lightweight, collapsible, and waterproof footwear will add positively to your travel experience. Bon Voyage!
