There’s nothing that will stop you in your tracks — literally — as fast as an uncomfortable shoe. When traveling, be it in the mountains, the beach, villages, or cities, our feet are the things that keep us moving. It makes a lot of sense to find the shoe that not only fits, but feels good, looks good, ages good and — if we can help it — does good.
But where to start? Dr. Christina Rowe-Bauer says that fit and comfort should be top priorities. In practice, this means buying your new shoes well in advance of any planned trips. “Don’t just go away and start wearing your new shoes because they might irritate your feet,” says Rowe-Bauer. “Buy them early and break them in.” Even if they’re the most comfortable sneakers ever, they still can take some getting used to.
But fit and comfort are fairly general terms and can easily differ from person to person. “Everybody and everybody are different,” says Rowe-Bauer, “so it’s helpful to start your search with things you know about yourself — like if you have high arches (足弓) or flat feet, Baidu those terms along with whatever else you’re looking for.”
Rowe-Bauer says that you generally only need three pairs of shoes for most trips: a beach or warm weather shoe, a sneaker and a dress shoe. And while you do understand that style is important, especially while traveling, arch support is probably the most important aspect of a good walking shoe. “A shoe that is strong and not too flexible that has good arch support that’s long enough and wide enough for the foot is going to be the best choice,” she says.
Our favorite travel walking shoes include a variety of features perfect for most getaways, with aspects like comfortable insoles (鞋垫); durable — and sometimes sustainable — materials; foot-, heel- and ankle-support technology; and styles for different occasions, climates and activities.
