“All God’s children need traveling shoes.”
Maya Angelou
The most important item you will take on your trip is a good pair of
walking shoes. Travel often requires hikes across enormous airports, walks through
subway systems, and extensive standing in museums, castles, or long lines to
buy tickets. Nothing spoils the joy of travel like uncomfortable shoes and
blisters. It doesn’t matter if your shoes are designer or bargain basement,
make sure they are fit to walk in and that you buy them early enough to break
them in properly.
Packing a couple of Band-Aids will come in handy for the occasional
blister, so you don’t have to chase them down, aggravating your feet. My
husband, who has a great deal of blister experience, suggests using a needle to
drain the blister before placing a Band-Aid on.
To minimize your travel weight, take one pair of shoes and maybe one pair of sandals. There is rarely a reason to pack four pairs of shoes. If on that extreme occasion you find yourself in desperate need, buy a pair locally.
