Plagued with chronically throbbing feet, I believed the suffering was a necessary evil of long travel days-until a doctor said my flat feet could benefit from arch support shoes. I wasn't surprised. Whether it was a daylong solo hike in Patagonia or an urban exploration throughout Scandinavia, I always found my legs propped up at the end of every travel day, desperately hoping I could reverse the pain.
Sure, sneakers may be the practical choice for long vacation days, but frankly, I've gotten fed up with wearing them on every trip. As someone who prefers to dress up while traveling, they aren't always the right vibe for my outfits. That's why I set out on a mission to find a comfortable, fashionable travel shoe that isn't a sneaker before my Euro trip this summer.
Labor Day weekend is upon us, and though that might mark the unofficial end of summer, that doesn't mean we won't find excuses to keep traveling. Whether you're headed on a fall foliage hike or planning a beach holiday to escape the impending chilly weather, now is the perfect time to stock up on new comfortable shoes for your upcoming travels, since quite a few of our favorite retailers are slashing prices on tons of footwear.
