****Best comment: if they don't feel good, they aren't worth $1***** YES!!! so so true no matter what!
Yes, shoes for travel should be comfortable and supportive (or at least have good inserts).
Regarding stinky shoes due to being barefoot; I slip a no-show sock over my insoles and wash them just as I would my regular socks. Absolutely cuts down on the stink and is more comfortable.
Great video!
Great tip!!
Put baking soda in your shoes when you take them off. It's great at absorbing smells!
I am sharing that tip today on Instagram; thanks!!
Just don't forget to shake it out before you put the shoes on again!
Put deodorant on your feet.
I recommend getting your insole before getting the shoe so you can try the shoe on with the insole. So often, once you put the insole in, the shoe either no longer fits or isn't comfortable anymore. You need to try them together in case you need to go up a size once the insole is in.
Oh that is a wonderful tip! Yes, because then you would know if your heel would come out of the shoe.
Thank you. Just to let you know, velcro isn't great if you have a high instep. Most shoe manufacturers who make velcro straps, don't make them long enough for those of us who have a high instep.😊 A strap with a buckle works better, because it doesn't come apart when you're walking.
Oh wow! Did not know that about velcro.
I’ve had problems with Velcro not sticking on one particular shoe (earth shoe Mary Jane which happened to be my favorite travel shoe at the time), so I’m always hesitant to purchase them.
Orthofeet is my go to for arch support inserts. Wonderful. I put them in my muck boots for barn wear.
Me too
I avoid Velcro like the plague. (Wide feet, high instep). My physical therapist recommended Sketchers bc they have good arch support.
Re: shoelaces, I replace any cloth shoelaces with silicone no tie “laces.” They are waterproof, but the real reasons I change them out is to make my shoes slip on (which has been great at airports) and the look is cleaner without a bow or any ends sticking out.
Also the shoe inserts (by Powerstep) are fabulous. My podiatrist recommended those to me years ago so I wear them every day. They last for several years with daily use!
Thanks for sharing so many great suggestions.
What shoes do you put your inserts in? I have the laces; just have not used them enough.
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie They go in all my shoes: Ecco’s, Clark’s, Allegria, Sam Edelman, even all my Miller and Ben tap shoes! All of them are flat shoes, mostly sneakers, loafers or oxfords. I also put them in some of my boots…Blondo, Dansko come to mind.
Thanks for the tip about Ecco Soft 7 sneakers. I needed something water-resistant for my upcoming trip to Europe. I enjoy your channel and all your travel tips!
So glad! @@vickif.4645
Love love Ecco!
Thanks for the traveling shoe tips👍🏼
Thanks for all the good tips.
Great highlights! Thats what I do!
If the insoles of your shoes come out, take it out and put a no show sock on the insole upside down ( hole on the bottom).. put it back in shoe. Saves you insoles and make feet comfy with no extra bulk. Remove, wash, reuse.
I love that travel hack! Thanks.
I’m always on the hunt for a no show sock that isn’t bulky & doesn’t slip off my foot. I used to wear Bombas but my daughter introduced me to Ondo. They’re thin so they don’t make your shoe feel tighter & they stay on! They even make a style for wearing with ballet flats.
A tuber recommended IDEGG and compared them to Bombas. 6 for $14 with a 4.7 rating on Amazon. I like them
Love mine from Walmart-they have a perfect circle hole if you are looking at them.
Love Ondo. I also have the IDEGG socks that are thicker than Ondos but not as thick as Bombas. Some of them wear just as well as my Ondis, and some slipped off my heel. Ondis merino socks are winners!
Peds has a wonderful type that is great under running style shoes or trainers. They are a high cut, but no show - sold at Target (only two pair, I think) Amazon (six pair) and the Peds website. Nothing stays up better, and they feel great. Other Peds are styled for other shoe types and are also good, but these are the best.
@@reneeburich9497 Good to know. Thanks.
Literally what I’ve been shopping for! Thank you!
Same here!
Great tips! Thanks Laurie!!
Thanks for watching!
I love my hokas! Ive been wearing them gor a few years now. I need all the cush and support they give me.
Thank you, Laurie, so much💜
Thanks!
Great tips and ideas! Thank you!
Glad you like them!
New Balance and Brooks each make a nice looking Gore-Tex sneaker that are comfortable, huge fan of ordering from Zappos, customer service is phenomenal. Awesome video!
Terrific suggestions. I've found, as an older traveler in my 70s, that being able to change my shoes makes a HUGE difference when it comes to maintaining good foot health while I'm traveling & doing a lot of walking. For this reason, I will swap out a change of clothes and/or an outer layer for an extra pair of shoes. One pair of good compression socks is a must, to wear in flight & then in my hotel rooms when I'm resting. Also being able to change my socks that I wear with my shoes frequently. Aquaphor ointment in a small travel-size tube is great for rubbing on foot hot spots before putting your shoes on, because it's double-duty - prevents friction & acts as an infection-preventive. Also, inserts are a must. I always bring a pair of flip flops, which take up very little room & provide opportunities to rest my feet without being full-on barefoot. Two flip-flop features that I require are: (1) The toe part doesn't go all the way through the sole because that circular part on the sole that holds the toe thing can break down, & (2) The soles are not super-thin, that they provide SOME cushion. One brand that meets these requirements is Sanuk, but there are others. Then I will bring two pair of sneaker-style shoes, wear one pair as my travel outfit & pack the other pair, because for me, being able to change shoes makes such a difference. I used to never wear Birkenstock sandals when traveling even though they're my favorite at-home footwear, because let's face it, they're not exactly "fashion-forward," but I've gotten over that with age. Now I bring them. If I do bring checked luggage, it will be a second carry-on size piece & then I will pack a pair of dressy sandals or some short boots depending on season. I know this sounds like a lot of shoes, but again, by changing my footwear frequently, I am able to do more walking & stair-climbing. I'd rather swap out clothes & do more laundry. Thanks for focusing on this important topic.
I was told to never where the same footwear two days in a row. That advice has served me well.
Great tips-especially the wisdom with age.
I just bought a pair of Vessi’s for the Med!
Just discovered this channel. Love the travel tips. Very informative and really appreciate the ideas.
Hi and welcome!
I recently purchased the ECCO woven slip-on, I absolutely LOVE them.
I have old blue ones that I do not find comfy enough, but these gold ones were so comfortable.
Thank you for introducing me to Ecco sneakers. They are so comfortable and my preferred shoes for travel now. 😊
I was so glad to find a newer pair too.
I’m a shoe-a-holic! My feet don’t give me trouble on vacations…..but I loved this video and shoe suggestions. Great suggestions for preventing foot problems while traveling. Thx so much!
Wanting the first Ecco’s and the hookas. I’m type 2 diabetic and extremely picky.
Perfect video! Comfortable, supportive shoes are the most important thing I pack when we travel. I love Vionic, Dansko, and Merril.
They are a must-have!
Thanks Laurie. On your recommendation I purchased Merrell hikers for my upcoming Iceland trip. I also have 2 pairs of Ecco footwear thanks to you and they just blow me away at how comfy they are. I do have orthotics but don’t need them in these shoes and can wear all day and no complaints. Love them. Thanks
Being able to wear shoes all day on a trip helps so much especially for packing in only a carry-on lol.
I use a shoe liner in basic flats when I don’t use a sock. They have a coconut fiber bottom with soft top. They are not supportive but can lay over a support and fully washable. Great for keeping my shoes clean smelling.
Just ordered the Ecco shoe for my Portugal trip in Nov!
Oh wow, Portugal is on my bucket list.
I swear by my Merrells that are waterproof and have good traction and good arch support when you are going to be walking all day. I also like my Ryka slip ons for just being out and about and that go with anything including a dress.
I have had plantar fasciitis. I have used both Taos and Vionic brands for travel to Europe and they are really great too.
Vionic brand was best for me working on my feet all day.
Same and I have also found that Taos shows are great.
Thanks for the tips. I love all your shoes but sadly I don't have enough room for too many shoes on our sailboat, our home. So the plus is that helps me packing too. Thanks your help. Safe travels ❤️🙏🤗
That is so true!
I have an extra wide foot that tapers down to normal in the heel. Also, a high instep. New Balance 928v3 and 840v5 work great for me.
I have the Reef Water Vista and they are fabulous. Walked miles, and did light hiking. Handled water wonderfully
They really do!
I love the look of the gold slip-on shoe, but alas, haven't seen anything like that in my stores in Canada. I currently wear my Nikes on the plane and rougher terrain, but would like something a bit dressier when wandering about European streets.
Inserts are the Best!!!
KIZIK’s were a game changer for me !
I have a pair of KIZIKs also. I like those because no strings to tie.
I bought some Vessis and they are waterproof. I also bought a pair of black leather Ecco booties like your suede ones and with neuropathy from nerve damage in both feet, they’re very comfortable.
My youngest daughter is going on an art trip to France and Spain with her school next year. I have been finding so many great ideas for packing light in the few videos I have watched of yours so far, and I am so glad you have posted this one. We will definitely be looking at shoes soon to find a pair that will suit her for all the walking they will be doing, and we will start with your suggestions. Here's hoping I get picked to go with as a chaperone!!
It's so important that she have great shoes or at least the inserts.
I bought my Vessi's (gray, pull on) when my cruise landed me in N.Y. the last week of November 2019. Being unsure what the weather would be I wanted something that would be warm, comfortable and water proof and these fit the bill perfectly. Great for excursions too. They were the only sneaker type shoe I packed and am still wearing them today - as long as the snow stops and the drifts don't get any higher 😅.
That's great to know! Snow!!
I had a pair of those same Cariuma sneakers. I wanted to love them, they were so cute, but they were too heavy for me for walking all day. Live and learn I guess. Love your videos!
Yes always live and learn.
2:52 you can use the memory foam type not only it's so comfortable but also very soft i use it for my boots because they always give me blisters
Great tips. I’m diabetic so I’m always looking for good shoes
Love my Eccos! Have had them for years and can truly say they are amazing! - one Houstonian to another ❤
Was today beautiful or what?!!
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie absolutely gorgeous! Spent majority of it outside :)
Hokas are fantastic!
my hokas are THE BEST shoe I've ever walked in too..I'm going to buy a new spring color soon...yeah!!!
Good choice!
I LOVE my Hoka’s!! I have serious foot issues, these help.
I was shocked that I liked them.
I’ve worn Ecco sneakers on my last several trips to Europe, and they were perfect for walking all day with support and still looking sleek and stylish. They even work with a casual dress. They are more expensive, but as someone who has foot issues, they are worth it for the quality and comfort! They are my favourite travel shoe now. And for sandals, I love Taos sandals for the same reason - comfort and good support. Thanks for this video!
I think I saw Taos at Dillards-will check.
Hokas are awesome. They are my running shoe. I have zero arches and they have saved my feet, back, and legs. No, they aren’t waterproof, but I would wear them on a plane for travel. They are also light, not heavy like typical running shoes.
They are very lightweight.
I agree- I have some foot issues and Hokas are the most comfortable/I can walk all day anywhere shoes I have ever had.
@@wendyholland2415 Have you found any of theirs to be water-resistant?
The Hoka Transport come in water proof
I swear by Vionic! And OOFA! Both are Awesome for High Arches! Which I have...and very tiny feet with egyptian-shaped toes.
I also love the cariuma shoes. Got the All-Camel brown line of shoes (3 pairs). I plan to wear that color all year-round!
And Teva Sandles are great.
So are Birkenstocks!
Just got Vessi and are trying them.
Also got some Kiziks to try out.
So fun! I bet the brown will go with everything too.
Birkenstock makes awesome sneakers.
So good
Thank you for sharing these awesome shoes. I have a high arch and have been having plantar fasciitis, the straining and inflammation of that tendon from the heel to front ball of my left foot. I need a great arch support!
You should check out Orthofeet. Good for PF tho I actually found the arch support too high for my arches.
My husband now has it.
Oh no! I will be praying for his healing. It can be so painful.
Mephisto shoes also have great cushioning
I like your tips. What shoes for two days June 2-3 in Iceland in June, and two weeks in England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales in the first weeks in June
You are so right! If shoes don’t fit or feel good they aren’t worth a dollar! Vionics are also a good brand. On a recent trip I wore my comfortable white tennis shoes for air travel. Never again, I couldn’t believe how filthy they got!😮 Airports are dirty!
Thank you for this, Laurie! My mom and I were talking about shoes to wear for our Alaska cruise in September and this has helped. I have treated my Hokas with waterproofing spray and worn them in downpours successfully. Happy and safe travels!!
Oh good! I have sprayed mine twice so I will test them.
I lived in Alaska. September is a rainy / windy season in Alaska. Bring your raincoats, warm clothing, and warm socks.
Welcome to Alyeska. Land of the Polar Bears USA!.
Such beautiful sights!! Thx for your help.@@mysticcove3392
@@mysticcove3392 I forgot about the socks! Thanks for that reminder. 😊
@@staceyharpest
Enjoy Alaska. We are more beautiful than Switzerland!.
Love your content! Have you ever done a video on staying healthy while traveling? Do you use any particular tips to avoid stuff like stomach issues etc? Thank you!
Hi, I have not done one.
I.have those same Hokas. Walked on the cruise.
Love these for walking all day or on a cruise!
I have that first pair in navy. They were really comfortable in the store, but after a couple of hours (mostly driving, some getting out and walking around stores), I had a lot of pain in my feet. I guess I have weird shaped feet! Same with those Soft 7 suede bootie style sneakers. Hard to fit feet is a real curse! The only shoes I have that don't hurt after wearing them a long time are 20 year old Clarks sandals - although newer Clarks sandals also hurt. I do find the Ecco inserts comfortable though, so I use them in all my cheaper shoes.
Yes, if you do not love them, return them.
Sadly, it took wearing for a day outside the house. They can't be returned after being worn outside. Now I am wearing them an hour or so a day, hoping that eventually they will mold to my foot and be more comfortable.@@TravelTipsbyLaurie
I found I need a shoe with a wide toe box with good arch support. I found a pair in an orthopedic shoe company. So comfortable, and wore in the rain.
Oh that is wonderful!
Flux and no bull make wide toe box
Altra shoes have a roomy natural toe box and zero drop. I love them.
You must try Vessi’s if you haven’t already!!
Thanks Laurie. Your videos are always so great - really appreciate you! Future Video Idea: Perhaps a video of how to dress for a flight when you get super cold on the plane and your feet lockup cuz they're so cold! That's my problem - I'm flying to Maui from Florida in a few weeks and am so nervous about staying warm and comfortable on the flight. It's so bad that my nose runs the whole time. Miserable! Anyway, thank you so much for the content you provide!!!🥰
Ooh, I would talk to your doctor Anne. Cashmere sweaters are lightweight (I love the Nordstrom brand). Maybe boots for the plane?
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie I honestly hadn't thought about talking to the doctor and I'll do that for sure. Thank you. Thanks also for the 2 clothing tips...looking into those too. God bless you. 🥰
Hokas are the best! I love Merrill as well!
They are so supportive!
I recently purchased the ECCO Soft 7 Mid Top Zip Sneaker and love them! They're so comfortable! I got them in a light grey. I also purchased the Blondo Shannon Waterproof Boots in black. They're comfortable but due to foot issues (now resolved), I haven't worn hard-soled shoes in a very long time so I'm probably going to have to get an insert for them to make them more comfortable. Enjoying all your travel tips and tricks but not sure my bank account is! LOL
Hey, if you do not love them, return them. Trust me. I have so many shoes that I never wear! Nordstrom has an excellent return policy even if worn.
Oh no! I love them! Just taking some getting used to after wearing nothing but Asics for the past 4 years 😂
I have been using Powerstep inserts for years. I have really problem feet and they make hiking for miles possible.
Oh good!
I'm older (68) with a tendency to plantar faciitis so supportive walking shoes are a must for me (all the time as well as trips.). As well my feet are wide and I have a high instep. I wear either black New Balance 813s or Rockport ProWalkers (both come in wide sizes.) .Velcro closures or slip ons don't work for me (straps not long enough with velcro and slip on/loafers rub on the top of my instep). I wear them with Superfeet green inserts to support my high arches. Cheaper shoes often aren't deep enough to put orthodic inserts inside; both of the shoes I list are fine with orthodic inserts. (Both of my shoes have been waterproofed with spray). My tip is if you tend to plantar facitiis, pack a small lightweight foot roller (I have a small one from a Japanese dollar store) and a pair of extra orthodic inserts from another brand to change out when necessary.
Thank you!
If you don’t like wearing socks with shoes, Kohls has flat socks which are like Dr Scholls where you trim them to your shoe size. They are washable as well.
Oh thank you so much for your rec!
I went to Scotland and in Edinburgh, the shoes I wore at home that I thought were comfortable ended up not being at all! By the end of one day O could barely stand on my feet! I had to buy a pair of Clarks but it was too late. We are going back in September and this repeat situation is my biggest fear!!
Clown shoes! lol, I am only 5’3”. But wear a size 10! Therefore I rarely wear sneakers unless they are Keds, and they are not supportive. Such a struggle to find comfortable supportive shoes that don’t look rediculous on me, and so I am very grateful for your shoe videos!
Oh wow! Hopefully you can find something that is comfortable and cute or at least blending in.
Shoes, oh they can be problematic! On a European trip I ended up throwing out all but 1 pair of shoes because they hurt terribly. Then I bought a pair of Ecco sneaker-type shoes, and that taught me a lesson. No matter how good a shoe feels in the store, that’s no guarantee on real life comfort - those Ecco’s were quickly donated to charity. Always wear the shoes around on different surfaces and take time, if necessary, to break them in. My favorite travel shoes now are Taos Dandy, slip on, neutral color, lovely arch support. Laurie, thanks for all your tips!
Ooh thanks for your rec!
I agree! There's nothing worse than grossly uncomfortable feet. My opinion is, bargain hunt for many things, EXCEPT shoes! Mine are now very expensive...especially after extensive foot re-construction surgery!
Hoka Goretex Speedgoats for waterproof. Crazy colors but they are great and grippy.
Thanks!
09:50 i had a few hokas, it wast great but the sole is shrinking down fast. They also have an ortho model called Arhi and they are great for aurtho and wide feet needs.
By I find Brooks to also have great great shoes with cushion feet sole support but they are much stronger and sustainable. Hoka are expensive and i find Brooks to be much better
I love my Oofos. Lightweight and can be washed in the washer and set out to dry. I spray mine off with the waterhose. My feet never hurt, nor do my calves ever ache from walking long distances.
Oh I have not tried that shoe.
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie hands down the best shoe I have ever worn. The sole and arch can take some getting used to so I always recommend getting the slides or the flip flops to get a feel for the footbed. I have rheumatoid arthritis and jog a 5k in them every day. I’ve also walked 25-30k steps a day at Disney World in them. I will say if you have chubby feet and/or ankles or your feet/ankles swell a lot by the end of the day, the shoes may not be good for those people.
I used to wear Merrells but for some reason the innersoles have gotten harder and bother my feet. My feet perfer Skeechers with the yoga innersoles.
Any recommendations for cheaper shoes by any chance? $175 range is too high for mealthough those are cute
I love the look of those eccos, but can't afford them
Totally understand; keep looking. I love using free shipping and returns if I do not like a shoe.
RE: Footbed insets: I only use arch support inserts instead of full foot inserts as they often make the shoes feel too cramped (especially in the toe area). It also eliminates the problem of the heel slipping off the shoe. Dr. Scholls has clear ones that can even be inconspicuously added to even sandals. These are a game changer.
Right, that pair I showed that kept slipping out would not let me take out the original sole.
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie Hope you give them a try. They have greatly broadened the shoe styles I can wear as I need the arch support. You can get them in clear so they do not show in sandals. Love them.
Oh nice! With the 2 I showed, I should be good. @@gardenhappy4
How about Ecco sandals? Super comfortable and supporter
Hi yes! I have not found one I love.
Have you seen a new Swiss brand ON? Really comfortable
Hi, no
Any recommendations for travel shoe for *narrow* feet? You are the best. My travel mantra? WWLD?
Ha! I did like Munroe Sutton sneaker but they are uber $$$
I have narrow feet and swear by OluKai’s shoes. Great flip flops, boots, tennis shoes and all types of sandals. Great arch support in all their styles.
I have incredibly picky feet. Thanks for the tips and fire the contents on frumpy. I work Hokas to Spain and I hate the way the look in photos, so big, so clunky!
I hear ya!
I travel mainly with Birkenstocks. I need proper Arch support. They are my only Expensive foot wear
I want to try their new sneakers-never have been able to wear their shoes since the late 80s until last year's sneaks.
Laurie try OluKai’s shoes. All other brands will seem inferior and your feet will thank you!
I am looking for a waterproof shoe, bone spurs and plantar fasciitis as well. Some shoes just hurt my feet. But I’m wondering about keen shoes, have you try them out?
Hi, I have not been drawn to them.
Tried Ecco’s based on your recommendation but I found in Europe that they are not supportive enough I think because they have a lot of give in the toe box. My feet were KILLING me after walking a lot, so I had to switch to my trusty Birkenstocks with socks because it was raining. Not attractive but I had to may work for many people, but if you have planar fasciitis or something like that they will not be a good choice in my experience.
And I cannot wear Birks lol. We really have to find shoes for our needs. I show what works for me. I am curious about the new Birkenstock sneakers.
Have you ever tried NAOT shoes? I find their sandals the most comfortable for walking a lot on vacation.
Hi, I have seen them.
I have terrible feet issues including idiopathic neuropathy so I am planning on checking out the orthopedic shoe company for sandals.
Hope you find a solution.
Try Hoka Bondi, it has the most support ever. I have the same problem.
I am one of those that Eccos are not comfortable unfortunately with us gals that have bunions. Eccos do not have a wide toe box.
I have to buy men’s Ecco sneakers to get them to fit me well enough to wear socks with. I have big feet, women’s size 11, and the Eccos run small in my experience. Too bad. The women’s colors are cuter than the men’s…
Do you have a link for the Merrill shoe sandal?
Hi it should be in the pinned first comment or in the description paragraph under the video: bit.ly/3XtP4N4
What is a good support shoe recommend for cruising for someone with back & knee issues? Or someone who stands long periods of time on concrete floors?
Hi, I would ask your doctor or a foot doctor. I love mine in this video that are all linked.
I don’t see a link for the Salvas “comfortable sneaker.” Can you give us a link for this shoe?
Hi, it's way at the bottom: bit.ly/3JljoE1
What brand were the pink Velcro sandals?
Hi all links are in the pinned first comment or in the paragraph below each video.
Two weeks ago I walked through 5 inches of snow with my Hokas and my feet stayed dry!
I did spray them twice with Scotchgard so we shall see.
I don't actually like Velcro closures on shoes as they often end up scratching me. Only a few seem to be made so they don't scratch at the ankle.
That would not be comfortable.
What were the tan loafers?
Hi, they are all linked in the first comment and in the paragraph below each video: bit.ly/3ZjmU8U and similar: bit.ly/432tOkH or these bit.ly/4bSlb04
I tried your links for information on the shoes recommended in your video and they did not take me to the shoes. I was interested in a few of them.
Hi, here is one: bit.ly/3SZCeWG and bit.ly/49bXgqC and the rest are all in the pinned first comment and the paragraph under the video.
One tip to keep shoes fresh: put hand sanitizer on your feet before putting on shoes and socks!!! (As always warm up your joints a bit before the stretch that happens as you put
hand sanitizer on your soles)
Oh man, the quest for the perfect walking/travel shoe.
I have a wide toe box, narrow heel, high instep, high arch and super flexible feet. If a shoe is not flexible enough, I walk right out of it OR it rubs my heels producing blisters OR makes my sock bunch up.
Plus, after years of dance and teaching high impact fitness, the fat pads on my soles have migrated a bit, so inserts are a must (which then makes my feet even taller and shoes fit tighter. 😢)
I know there is a specific no show sock you like but I don’t remember what it is. Would you please tell me what it is or point me to the video where you discussed it? I am so tired of buying socks that won’t stay on my heels!
Hi, the one that I never adjust does not come over the top of my foot which I do not want for sneakers. It's bit.ly/3uYswL7 and then this is my second favorite and for sneakers but they're hard to find now: bit.ly/4bVCzRF
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie Thanks so much for getting back to me and for mentioning that the first ones aren’t good for sneakers since that’s what I am wanting them for. The second link, unfortunately, is for an Americana assortment and I need white. So the search continues but I do appreciate you trying to help!
