Do you have a trip coming up and you want to make sure that you have comfortable shoes that will help keep your feet supported and healthy while walking long distances? Finding a pair of supportive, comfortable, and stylish travel shoes that can also accommodate your foot shape can be overwhelming. The good news is that I have been fitting women’s shoes for many years, and I will show you a list of the most comfortable walking shoes for women in travel that can fit different foot shapes (narrow, medium, wide, extra wide).
Did you know that packing comfortable shoes is one of the most important rules of travel? It’s highly likely that wherever you are traveling there will be lots of walking involved. Don’t worry, I will show you a list of comfortable yet fashionable footwear options.
The list of shoes that I have put together includes sneakers, flats, and sandals. I can’t tell you which one of these you should choose, as that is going to depend on your destination, the climate at the destination, and what activities you plan to do while on your trip.
Blisters Prevention – Wear Shoes that Fit Well!
In my experience, lots of walking and sightseeing can lead to unforeseen rubbing and blisters.
Blister prevention is definitely important especially since you will be walking a lot more than usual as many people do when they travel. The best thing you can do to prevent a blister is to make sure you wear shoes that fit your foot shape and have extra padding around the heels.
