Sturdy Sandals You want something with a good sole, ample cushion, and comfortable straps. Versatile, lightweight, easy to pack, easy to clean….this sandal should be able to transition from day time strolls through the market to night time cocktails on the terrace. I’m partial to the Teva Flip Flop as they are quite comfy, quite affordable, and come in a variety of different designs
Dollar Store FlipFlops Something for the hostel shower, the two block jaunt to the beach, the 1 am run to the convenience store. Cheap, portable, and utterly disposable. Come armed with one pair and buy others as needed. Big Fan of all 10 cent pairs coming in a multitude of rainbow hues.
Sneakers As you will inevitably be covering ground in your travels, it’s always good to have a sturdy walking shoe. I usually pack running shoes to serve as my go to for busy sight seeing days spent traversing treacherous cobblestone streets and ancient uneven stair cases. (tripping, ankle rolling, stubbed toes, blistered soles best avoided by taking your nose out of the guidebook map and wearing proper footwear)
The High Heel Height, color, style determined by your skill, precision, and personal preference. Should be sexy and versatile - ability to blend into nighttime scenes from Paris to Bangkok. NOTE - although well loved - Espadrilles not recommended due to weight and size ***rule may be bent for travelers on small islands off of the Mediterranean Coast….tres chic.
The Hiking Boot Contingent upon activity level. I think they are a must for weekend jaunts into the jungle, daytime hikes up the volcano, and carrying your backpack with finesse. Lightweight, waterproof, must be accompanied by proper socks.
