Quick Tips—Travel Footwear

The best shoes for travel will provide enough comfort and support for a full day on your feet.

• Casual Footwear—Casual shoes are classic styles that pair well with slacks or skirts. They're best for travelers who primarily stay in urban environments and want a shoe that combines style and comfort. Rugged walking shoes have more support and stability, making them well-suited for adventure travel that doesn't stray too far off the beaten path.
  
  
• Active Footwear—Outdoor cross-trainers have the fit and feel of an athletic shoe with a rugged outsole. They're good for walking, light hiking and all-around use.
  
  
• Hiking Boots—Day hiking boots and waterproof day hiking boots are designed for walking and hiking without a heavy pack. They offer good support without being too heavy, making them a great choice for active travel.
  
  
• Sandals—Casual sandals focus on comfort and style. They're better for urban travel. Water sport sandals are suitable for more rugged use.
