Hi Sarah, I bought the Teva mush mandolin wedges. The straps are very scratchy causing red marks on my feet immediately. Do you have any tips for softening them? Otherwise I will need to return them
Hi Sarah, how did the Revere work out? I just picked them up seeing it here, they feel a little snug so I'm wondering if they loosen up with wear. Thanks
I’m a habitual Olukai “slippah” fan around my home and wear Ecco’s when traveling. I purchased a pair of On Clouds late last summer after returning from hot and humid Germany. I did not realize they were a hot item until I traveled in Germany and Italy last month (May, aka in shoulder season). Mine have elastic “shoe strings” and a removable sole. They are great for traveling through life in general & good for TSA. I wash them in the washing machine, however scrubbing them by hand is also good, as the unique sole structure does get dirty. My only complaint: Stepping in dog poo is the worst! I’ll check out your sandal recommendations. Thanks Sarah!
Love your annual travel shoe videos. I would love to hear your thoughts on the OAKA shoes in regard to comfort, traction and breathability, once they are "field tested." Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the shoe recs Sarah! I too have “problem” feet (and way too many pairs of shoes!). On a trip to Switzerland and Italy I took my lightweight running shoes, a pair of fishermen’s sandals, and three pairs of Abeo sport orthotics to switch out from day to day. To avoid having to wear socks in 98F heat, I put a pair of no-show socks on the orthotics and sweated into those. This sounds weird, but it does work. It also eliminates sock slippage and keeps the insoles cleaner. Happy travels!
I don’t think I’ve seen you mention Vionic sandals (the strapped adjustable sandals, not the flip flops). I’ve had plantar fasciitis and I can walk comfortably in these sandals all day (just wore them on a trip that included 6-9 miles of walking each day). They are also semi-cute (not orthopedic looking) and extremely lightweight. Highly recommend them especially when comfort is the #1 priority but you still want to look good and not carry much additional weight.
You’re packing videos are always so helpful! I wear an 11-12 women’s size and have plantar fasciitis and good that you always talk about support in addition to weight. Thanks!
I always enjoy your videos and suggestions. I always travel with Chaco sandals. I have some cute colors and a plain black pair and a camp pattern pair which is a good neutral. I also like Naot and Teva. Thank you for sharing.
What I don't see in your videos or anyone else's is what kind of a heel shoe to take to Europe in the Fall. I will be going to nice dinners & the symphony, etc. What do you recommend; do not want to use flats, although I'm 60 & cannot use very high heel
Have you tried Vessi’s? They are relatively light, water proof and comfortable. They come in a number of styles and colors, from classic sneakers to Chelsea boots. They are my go-to for travel and everyday running around.
I find them very comfortable. They have a wide toe box and run a bit large, but they only come in full sizes, so they might not work for everyone. I ordered my usual size, they are roomy enough that I’m able to wear a half orthotic and not have to remove the insole that comes in the shoe. I live in Florida, so I really can’t say I’ve tested them in cold weather, but they are made of recycled material and densely woven as to make them water proof, so I think they would be fine with good warm socks but probably not in below freezing weather for long periods of time.
@@annhartley8425 thanks so much! I live in WI, so hot and humid in the summer, and cold and snow in the winter. Nice to know I could wear these in summer with no issues.
I often wear men's shoes, they are much wider than women's shoes. After pregnancy my feet spread to E width, which the widest width available in women's shoes (in Australia) is C. I have found that KMart makes children's shoes up to a European 40 and because they are for growing feet they're wide! I bought a very pretty white lace looking pair for $10.
The gray shoe - you could add a ribbon lace in bright red or hot pink or black to “pretty ‘ them up “
Thanks for your tried & true travel shoe recommendations! 😊❤️

Love my flat Teva Mush’s. I have about ten pairs, maybe more, in many colors.

Great detailed review. I can’t find the link to those silver shoes
Love the Naot brand shoes. Definitely an investment, but mine have lasted many years and still look and feel great.
I completely agree. Plus you can wear them all day touring and still look nice for evening

I've been looking at Vessi's. Are they comfy for a full day of walking? Are they breezy in colder temps, or do they keep the feet warm enough? Thanks!

Please try the Veja brand in your spare time. I keep seeing people review them but no actual travel review
Love the shoe recs!
Hi Sarah, have you ever taken a pair of Crocs on a trip?
I haven’t, I don’t think they are rugged enough for the abuse of a trip.
Thank you for sharing. Most of this shoes are not safe to wear. All of them are open.
I often wear men's shoes, they are much wider than women's shoes. After pregnancy my feet spread to E width, which the widest width available in women's shoes (in Australia) is C.

No Crocs?
Have you tried zero shoes?
yikes.
