The right shoes make a huge difference when you’re traveling – starting at the airport. A lot of times, though, departure day shoes are kind of an afterthought.
A discussion about shoes at the airport on a designlovefest post got me rethinking this. (See comments #7-12.)
To me, the Holy Grail of airport footwear would be something you could rush to catch a flight in, remove easily for airport security, wear with socks (if you don’t want to be barefoot while your shoes get x-rayed), as well as, of course, looking great with your travel outfits.
While it’s a lot for one pair of shoes to aspire to, I’m thinking my new go-tos for hopping a plane will either be in the canvas slip-on genre (like TOMS or these Hellyer Slippers) or comfy flats (like ballet slippers or updated Mary Janes) with no-show socks.
What is your airport shoe strategy?
