Choosing Your Vacation Walking Shoes
Posted by Brittany Garner | Filed under Travel
Carefully selected walking shoes will make a world of difference on your vacation. Your feet are as unusual as your personality so just any old shoes won’t do.
Here are some tips to help you select the right walking shoes for you.
Find an athletic store that has certified people who can judge your walking gait. They can then point you towards a shoe that will match your style.
Your feet will swell on a walk. So pick a walking shoe that is about a size bigger than you commonly would buy. Or, if feasible, try on your shoes after a long walk.
Fit your shoes while wearing the same socks that you will be wearing on your vacation.
Consider the type of walking you will be doing. Hiking boots are good for poorly maintained tracks, off track or cross country hikes. But they are heavy and hard. Stick with walking or running shoes for walks on paved or maintained trails.
Make sure there is space at the toes & the sides. Even a small amount of scratching will produce scalds.
Velvety shoes provide comfort and are great for non rugged walking surfaces. They normally have a little less support.
Lightweight is important when you are walking all day. You can afford to give up a little support for light weight when you are walking on pavement or maintained trails.
Avoid flared soles & heels that are more than an inch higher than the sole in front. These types of shoes are not good for a walker’s gait.
You want a adjustable shoe that will turn and bend at the ball of the foot.
If you have big or thin feet make sure that you get a shoe that is sized for you. Don’t settle for a standard width shoe. You will repent it.
The success of your holiday can depend on having a comfortable pair of shoes to walk in. Take the time to find the right one. It is worth it.
