27nswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Look for a sandal with an ankle strap so it stays on your foot easily and allows you to walk heel to toe with each step. Feet fatigue quickly in slides or flip flops that require the foot to contract (even slightly) with each step. <br>Next up since you're walking all day, you'll want something with some support or shock absorption so your shins don't get sore. It doesn't need to be thick or have a huge arch - unless that's your jam.<br>Last, depending on the terrain, look at the sole to ensure there's some grip. <br>I'm currently testing the <a href=\"https:\/\/vivaia.sjv.io\/vDDXnj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">AdaptAll Flat Sandals (Demi) by Vivaia<\/a>, and it ticks all these boxes.

430
431
432
433<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There&#8217;s no magic to how I tested travel sandals over the years. What you&#8217;ll read below is a chronological series of experiments that started in 2006 and continue to this day. With each pair of sandals, I learned a few important lessons about what makes the perfect travel sandal, and I applied those lessons in choosing my next pair. </p>
434
435
436
437<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s also important to note that there is no one perfect sandal for travel for everybody. Some criteria will be more &#8211; or less &#8211; important to you depending on your travel style, climate, planned activities, and more. I&#8217;ve tried to make it clear in this article who each sandal is and is not for, to help you make the right choice for you. </p>

450</div>
451
452
453<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Crocs were my go-to for many years – specifically the <a href="https://amzn.to/3iuiQhl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">Cleo style</a>, which is both fashionable and functional.</p>
454
455
456
457<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph"><strong>CROCS: The Good</strong></p>
458
459
460
461<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because Crocs are <b>waterproof</b>, they survived dodgy hostel showers and muddy walks, and the <b>arch support </b>meant they made it through many a long walk without causing me pain.</p>
462
463
464
465<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The style I chose combined fashion and function, and as such I could <b>dress them up or down </b>with relative ease.</p>
466
467
468
469<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They pack up like a dream, since they&#8217;re <b>lightweight and relatively thin</b>.</p>
470
471
472
473<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If the Cleo (pictured above) isn&#8217;t your style, no problemo; Crocs makes a <a href="https://amzn.to/3IGtlJm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">gazillion different styles</a>&nbsp;to choose from.</p>
474
475
476
477<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Basically I lived in these shoes, for many years.</p>
478
479
480
481<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph"><strong>CROCS: The Bad</strong></p>
482
483
484
485<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Or rather, I lived in (many pairs of) these shoes, for many years. Unfortunately because I wore them daily (and I love to walk), <b>I wore through a pair about every year</b>.</p>
486
487
488
489<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Although Crocs aren&#8217;t particularly expensive, this did mean dishing out cash for a new pair each year – and finding a place to buy them or have them delivered to (which isn&#8217;t always an easy chore when traveling full-time or <a href="https://www.theprofessionalhobo.com/dont-send-me-presents-my-house-has-no-number-my-street-no-name/">staying somewhere obscure</a>).</p>
490
491
492
493<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Even more distressing, was how <b>unbelievably slippery</b> Crocs were on wet surfaces. Certain types of sidewalk, stone, and any inside flooring when wet, became major hazards. I took a few spills in these shoes, especially as the tread on the bottom started to wear. (It&#8217;s ironic, because Crocs were originally designed as boat shoes).</p>
494
495
496
497<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lastly – and this is good and bad – the Cleo and other slip-on styles are uber-easy to use on a daily basis, but if you are doing any kind of <b>trail walking or water sports</b>, this style of Crocs will slip away entirely.</p>
498
499
500
501<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This can be solved with a different style of Croc however; I tried out two pairs: the Isabella Strappy Sandal, and the Tulum (<em>both appear to be discontinued as of March 2024</em>, <em>however there are other new Crocs styles that may appeal</em>). Both are stylish and easy to slip-on, and don&#8217;t easily come off the foot. (However I also had trouble breaking in the Isabella (it never stopped chafing my heels), and the Tulum didn&#8217;t quite fit my foot correctly; I kept slipping off the side while walking (but perhaps that more about my gait than the shoes). The Tulum stays on your foot better and could conceivably be used for light water sport activities, but it&#8217;s not ideal for hitting the trails. Keep reading this article for sport sandal suggestions).</p>
502
503
504
505<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Overall</strong></p>
506
507
508
509<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I owned three pairs of the slip-on Cleo Crocs in the first few years of my full-time travels, and they have a ton of styles to suit your preferences. They definitely earned their place in my travel bag.</p>
510
511
512
513<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But keep reading for some alternatives and different viewpoints, since what I need may not be the same as what you need in the perfect travel sandal.<br /><br /></p>

646<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I chose the <a href="https://taosfootwear.pxf.io/jR5kO5" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">Trophy style</a> (pictured above)&nbsp;because <b>they can be dressed up or down, they&#8217;re relatively light and compact to pack away, and the ankle straps make them way more stable</b> for walking, running (as in, to catch a bus), and even taking to (light) trails.</p>
647
648
649
650<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They&#8217;re super comfy to wear all day (and all night), with their special “Taos Soft Support premium footbed with Cool Recovery Foam”.&nbsp;</p>
651
652
653
654<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I also like the velcro adjustments on the ankle straps as well as both toe straps; this makes the fit always comfortable (even if my feet swell), and <b>getting them on and off is almost as easy as having slip-ons</b>.</p>

662<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If the microfiber footbed gets wet, it&#8217;s bad news. After living in them for a couple of years (<em>years, mind you</em>), I got them super wet. After that <b>the footbed pilled (uncomfortably so), and started smelling bad</b>. Other readers have had similar troubles. If you suffer from sweaty feet, you might not get a couple of years out of them (as I did) before they start pilling and smelling.</p>

This article is about sandals. <strong>Below is my journey to find the best barefoot travel sandals &#8211; before accidentally stumbling on a travel sandal that is damn near perfect in every way. </strong><br /></p>

817
818
819
820<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As much as I mentioned earlier that I&#8217;m not a fan of sport sandals, given how much I loved Xero&#8217;s barefoot shoes (and I&#8217;m a devout fan of traveling long-term with <a href="https://www.theprofessionalhobo.com/checked-vs-carry-on-luggage-and-why-checked-is-best/">carry-on luggage only</a>), I figured I would put my fashion sensibilities aside and try <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=SbYFJMgSdqk&amp;mid=54010&amp;murl=https%3A%2F%2Fxeroshoes.com%2Fcollections%2Fsandals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">Xero barefoot sandals</a> &#8211; specifically the <strong>Z-Trail EV</strong> style. I wanted this style because it has the beefiest sole of them all, and I was worried the other styles might feel more like paper and not provide any protection.</p>
821
822
823<div class="wp-block-image">
824<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="600" height="450" src="https://www.theprofessionalhobo.com/w
824p-content/uploads/2023/05/Xero-shoes-Z-Trail-Eva-barefoot-travel-sandals.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-17240"/></figure>
825</div>
826
827
828<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Instead, when I got them in the mail, I was surprised at just how sturdy these things are! I mean, they&#8217;re still light as air at just 4.3oz each (<em>yeah, you read that right</em>), but the sole has some meat to it. </p>
829
830
831
832<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Unfortunately after a summer of trying to love them, I had to admit they didn&#8217;t do it for me. </p>
833
834
835
836<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The style was my biggest complaint; <strong>they&#8217;re okay for sport or super casual scenarios, but not multi-purpose enough to wear anywhere else</strong>. But even for sport, I couldn&#8217;t get the fit right with the straps for walking/hiking on anything that wasn&#8217;t completely flat. <strong>My foot wasn&#8217;t stable in them</strong> and slid around (similar to the Tulum style of Crocs, which also have a very thin flat sole), and because of that plus the super low profile of the sandal, my feet (and the footbeds) were always getting dirty such that I had to wash both my feet and shoes at the end of each outing.</p>
837
838
839
840<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I really wanted these to be my top pick of travel sandals. And perhaps they could be for you, if you like the style and have a different-shaped foot/different gait. <strong>For summer hikes and casual excursions, with the added benefit of being ridiculously packable, water-friendly, secure on the foot, and even with webbing made from recycled water bottles, they&#8217;re not bad, but they&#8217;re just not for me</strong>.</p>
841
842
843
844<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I may still take mine on trips where I&#8217;ll be doing serious outdoorsy stuff that require waterproof sandals (like white-water rafting), but they&#8217;re not all-around useful enough for me to pack every time. <br /><br /></p>

856<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>NEW IN 2024</strong>, <a href="https://feelgrounds.com/?ghref=27064:1328696&amp;discount=THEPROFESSIONALHOBO" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">Feelgrounds</a> sent me a pair of their Seaside Luxe sandals. Feelgrounds is a barefoot shoe company based in Europe. I love the look of all their shoes, because they don&#8217;t <em>look</em> like barefoot shoes. They&#8217;re stylish, functional, and as a company they are committed to environmental responsibility and fair production practices.</p>
857
858
859
860<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Feelgrounds Seaside Luxe sandal makes up for everything I didn&#8217;t like about the Xero Z-trail (and frankly, all of Xero&#8217;s sandals). <strong>They don&#8217;t look like a barefoot sandal!</strong></p>
861
862
863
864<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here&#8217;s what I love about them: </p>
865
866
867
868<ul class="wp-block-list">
869<li>The vegan leather straps provide an <strong>elevated sense of style</strong>. I get compliments every time I wear them. </li>
870
871
872
873<li>The adjustable cushioned velcro strap at the back provides a perfect fit, and along with the soft fabric toe thong, it <strong>holds your foot in place</strong>.  </li>
874
875
876
877<li>The elastic bit on the instep provides the perfect amount of stretch for comfort. </li>
878
879
880
881<li>The <strong>natural cork insole</strong> looks nice and gives the foot a chance to breathe. (If you don&#8217;t like that look, they also offer an all-black version).</li>
882
883
884
885<li>The 7mm sole is ultralight and thin, while still being <strong>thick enough to provide a tiny bit of shock absorption and protection</strong> when walking on hard surfaces.</li>
886
887
888
889<li>They&#8217;re <strong>super flexible and ultralight</strong> at 153 grams / 5.4 oz for a Men&#8217;s size 10 / Women&#8217;s 11.5</li>
890
891
892
893<li>They <strong>pack up like a dream</strong>. <br /></li>
894</ul>
895
896
897
898<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here are the compromises:</p>
899
900
901
902<ul class="wp-block-list">
903<li>After a summer of use, the <strong>cork footbed started to discolour</strong> from foot moisture. It is very minimal so far, but will likely continue as the years go on; if this is something that would bother you, then I suggest getting the all-black style.</li>
904
905
906
907<li>They are <strong>not waterproof</strong>, nor are they appropriate for sports activities. </li>
908
909
910
911<li><strong>Although there is some shock absorption, it&#8217;s not a lot</strong>;  nowhere near the protection you would get from even a barefoot sneaker. I discovered this while speed-walking long distances on concrete surfaces; my shins started to ache. I tend to come down hard on my heels when I walk fast, so I&#8217;m sure that&#8217;s the culprit. <br /></li>
912</ul>
913
914
915
916<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Even so, <a href="https://feelgrounds.com/?ghref=27064:1328696&amp;discount=THEPROFESSIONALHOBO" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">Feelgrounds</a> Seaside Luxe sandals are top contenders for great travel sandals.

921
922
923
924<p class="wp-block-paragraph">All over Asia, it&#8217;s common to take off your shoes everywhere; especially when entering temples, but even when entering some restaurants and stores. (And certainly when entering anybody&#8217;s home).</p>
925
926
927
928<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In these cases, flip-flops are invaluable. <b>They&#8217;re comfortable, easy to slip on and off, and you won&#8217;t be upset if somebody else walks away in them</b> (as commonly happens in public places).</p>
929
930
931
932<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While spending a month <span style="color: #000080;"><span lang="zxx"><u>
932<a href="https://www.theprofessionalhobo.com/all-life-is-suffering-a-month-in-koh-phangan-thailand/">“suffering” in Koh Phangan</a></u></span></span> Thailand, I watched my boyfriend struggle with his clunky Tevas every single time we entered or left a restaurant or store. We were both relieved when he finally caved and bought a cheapo pair of flip-flops.</p>
933
934
935
936<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Flip-flops are also great to have on hand for shared showers and other situations where you want some waterproof foot protection. And they&#8217;re so lightweight they can easily fit in your luggage. <strong>Regardless of the travel sandal I am using at any given time, I tend to have a pair of flip-flops stashed in my bag as well.</strong><br /><br /></p>

941
942
943
944<div class="schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block"><div class="schema-faq-section" id="faq-question-1781525383011"><strong class="schema-faq-question">What are the best sandals for walking all day while traveling?</strong> <p class="schema-faq-answer">Look for a sandal with an ankle strap so it stays on your foot easily and allows you to walk heel to toe with each step. Feet fatigue quickly in slides or flip flops that require the foot to contract (even slightly) with each step. <br />Next up since you&#8217;re walking all day, you&#8217;ll want something with some support or shock absorption so your shins don&#8217;t get sore. It doesn&#8217;t need to be thick or have a huge arch &#8211; unless that&#8217;s your jam.<br />Last, depending on the terrain, look at the sole to ensure there&#8217;s some grip. <br />I&#8217;m currently testing the <a href="https://vivaia.sjv.io/vDDXnj" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">AdaptAll Flat Sandals (Demi) by Vivaia</a>, and it ticks all these boxes.   </p> </div> <div class="schema-faq-section" id="faq-question-1781525673138"><strong class="schema-faq-question">Are sandals good for Europe travel?</strong> <p class="schema-faq-answer">Depending on the time of year and what part of Europe you&#8217;re visiting, sandals are great. In fact, I wear them all the time in the summer heat. <br />Depending on your travel style and activities, I would pay more attention to having a style of sandal that can be dressed up or down, since many parts of Europe tend to have an elevated sense of style. </p> </div> <div class="schema-faq-section" id="faq-question-1781525953718"><strong class="schema-faq-question">Should I bring sandals when traveling long-term?</strong> <p class="schema-faq-answer">Unequivocally, yes! Chances are you will end up in multiple climates and scenarios, and the right pair of sandals will come in so handy, then pack light and flat when not in use. <br />Additionally, I sometimes pack a pair of flip flops for shared showers, pool visits, and SouthEast Asian countries where shoes are expected to be left at the door (and an expensive pair of sandals could get stolen). </p> </div> <div class="schema-faq-section" id="faq-question-1781526173971"><strong class="schema-faq-question">Are barefoot sandals good for travel?</strong> <p class="schema-faq-answer">Barefoot sandals can be an excellent choice for travel! Ultimately it depends on the sandal, and your personal travel style and preferences. Sandals like the <a href="https://feelgrounds.com/?ghref=27064:1328696&amp;discount=THEPROFESSIONALHOBO" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">Feelgrounds Seaside</a> are perfect barefoot sandals for travel because they are stylish, versatile, comfortable, and pack like a dream. Other barefoot sandals like those made by <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=SbYFJMgSdqk&amp;mid=54010&amp;murl=https%3A%2F%2Fxeroshoes.com%2Fcollections%2Fsandals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">Xero Shoes</a> are the more &#8220;traditional&#8221; style of barefoot sandal, but can be a bit utilitarian looking. It&#8217;s a personal style preference. <br />One thing to beware of with barefoot sandals is how much support they offer; if you&#8217;re spending long days walking on concrete or cobblestones, your feet and shins may fatigue quickly. </p> </div> <div class="schema-faq-section" id="faq-question-1781526426733"><strong class="schema-faq-question">What sandals pack the smallest?</strong> <p class="schema-faq-answer">Barefoot sandals will generally pack the smallest because they weigh almost nothing and by design have very thin soles. <br />But you don&#8217;t need to sacrifice support for a sandal that packs down light. Vivaia&#8217;s <a href="https://vivaia.sjv.io/vDDXnj" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">AdaptAll Flat Demi</a> sandal has a cushioned breathable footbed, and soft-knit straps that pack flat into your luggage. </p> </div> </div>

1115					<p>I love Tevas. They&#8217;ve got velcro straps that make the whole shoe adjustable, allowing for swelling in humid climates. The ergonomic footbed accommodates my high arches and doesn&#8217;t exacerbate the plantar fasciitis. The tred is fantastic and I&#8217;ve done much hiking in them on various terrain, worn them in the water and they don&#8217;t get slippery and they&#8217;ve lasted for 4 years.  The last trip they took me on was the Galapagos for which they were perfect. I&#8217;m finally ready to trade them in as the tred is wearing but I&#8217;ll buy another pair just like them 🙂  The only issue is that they smell after a long day but I&#8217;ve heard the new ones are treated with antimicrobials so that doesn&#8217;t happen.  Either way, they&#8217;re easily washable.</p>

1136					<p>Jodi &#8211; For me, Tevas check all the boxes (very nicely)&#8230;.except style. You can&#8217;t dress them up (at all), so if I need to have some smart-casual flexibility in my wardrobe, I&#8217;d need another pair of shoes too.</p>

1178					<p>I suggest you try out the Tevas Zirra light! They are absolutely fantastic both in comfort and style. They have only a single thin strap that crisscrosses over the foot and straps around the back with velcro so they&#8217;re adjustable along the whole foot (my feet are a little bigger in the morning from swelling and they&#8217;re wide so I have trouble finding normal sandals that fit). They&#8217;re have a crazy comfy footbed like chacos and birks but without the bulk so they&#8217;re much lighter and easier to pack. I lived in these sandals for an entire summer before I accidentally lost a single foot while packing up in the dark :(. I&#8217;m still mourning for it. Going to wait until Black Friday to buy a new pair just in case it goes on sale, I&#8217;m not in a rush since summer&#8217;s over at this point. </p>
1179<p>I&#8217;ve traveled all over in these ones, both in cities and in the wild. Used them almost exclusively for a 2-week roadtrip through Utah and Nevada where I was hiking ALL DAY, climbing mountains (over 5000ft elevation gains in rough terrain) , etc and my feet never felt fatigued. While comfort is a high must for me, I would not have gotten these if they looked like the typical hideous Tevas/Keens/other gross looking hiking sandals, they look so cute and can easily be dressed up with a couple different c
1179olor options. I hope you consider them! I just discovered your blog and already thing you would really like them. 🙂</p>

1223					<p>I like the way they work in water. The footbed dries up just fine, that&#8217;s not a problem at all. The way they fit is really secure when you&#8217;re walking around in rivers or whatever. I&#8217;ve even used them as shower shoes! I&#8217;m in love with these sandals, and I did soooo much research looking for the perfect sandal I&#8217;m positive this is it! I hope you try them and like them! I wouldn&#8217;t trade them for anything. I hope some day in the future they come out with different colors, I got the black one which goes  but I would like to see a little more variety since these are now my go-to sandal.</p>

1252					<p>Those Naots and Taos sure look a lot like Birkenstocks. I love my Birkenstocks to wear at home. After a long day of walking, putting on Birkenstocks and walking around in them feels like having a foot massage. The weird thing is, when I wear them to actually walk all day, my feet hurt. </p>
1253<p>I have a $10 pair of sandals from Bali and another pair of $10 flats from Bangkok. I regret buying them because the zippers on the sandals broke after 2 months and the flats make my feet sweat all the time (sorry TMI!). </p>
1254<p>My partner, on the other hand, had a $100 pair of Ugg flip flops that he claims were super comfy and lasted for years. Too bad they&#8217;re not in production any more.</p>

1275					<p>Hi Deia,<br />
1276Like your partner, I generally find that you get what you pay for. A few well-chosen well-made pieces in your wardrobe (and especially on your feet &#8211; which literally take a beating every day!) will stand the test of time, and you&#8217;ll do it in style no less.<br />
1277However, I too, often complement my entourage with inexpensive local pieces as well; but I don&#8217;t expect them to last very long.</p>

1300					<p>I&#8217;m a die-hard Chacos fan. I used to love Teva sport sandals, but a friend turned me on to Chacos and I&#8217;ll never go back. They&#8217;re comfy, durable, you can go from the office to river-crawling in them and they last ages. The double-strap style are a bit dressier and you can customize the color scheme and sole styles online if you prefer a custom sandal. Give them a try, they&#8217;re wonderful!</p>

1322I know a few people who swear by Chacos, and although I&#8217;m not familiar with the dressier styles &#8211; they could bridge the gap between practical outdoorsy sandal and a dressier shoe. I&#8217;ll have to check them out!</p>

1343					<p>I&#8217;ve heard the tred is not as good as teva&#8217;s.  Did you find that?  Do they have as much arch support? The tevas work so well for my plantar fasciitis but I&#8217;ve heard that chacos don&#8217;t smell as badly after a day of hiking, river crawling, cave tubing&#8230;. etc. I do like the adjustable strap idea on the chacos and the plain black looks like it would go with everything.</p>

1366					<p>Hi Nora,</p>
1367<p>really cool the sandals in the photos!!</p>
1368<p> Not the feet !! </p>
1369<p>You have  showed your feet other times, maybe you like your feet very much but there are far more attactive female feet!! </p>
1370<p>Guaranteed 100%!!</p>
1371<p>Obviously,  considering your physical appearence as a whole ( body and face )  is worth all the photos you have showed!!</p>
1372<p>All the best!</p>
1373<p>Fab</p>
1374<p>PS I take for granted that your character is  likable (  it looks like that for what you have written&#8230; ) and so there is a good match  which makes those photos  more realistic!!</p>

1396I&#8217;m sorry my feet aren&#8217;t up to your standards. I don&#8217;
1396t know what else to say. This is one of the most bizarre comments I&#8217;ve ever received! Thanks for the laugh.</p>

1418<p>not at alll !! </p>
1419<p>But it remains the fact that you  love your feet very much and this is also a bit bizarre at least!!</p>
1420<p>Anyway, you have answered  with  style!! Congratulations!!</p>
1421<p>All the best!</p>
1422<p>Fab</p>
1423<p>PS they aren&#8217;t ugly, they are just on average and because of the fact your physical appearance is far above the average ( for what I&#8217;ve seen in the photos, maybe live is different, who knows..!! ) hence, there wasn&#8217;t a good match!! </p>

1445					<p>Fab, you make me wonder how spectacular your feet may look? Feet are not like sandals with a wide variety to choose from. We have to walk and be happy with the feet we get. Nora&#8217;s feet look cute to me and well taken care of; I don&#8217;t see why she should not love those feet?&#8230; just saying.<br />
1446If you see my feet (I got twin toes) you would probably faint &#8211; but people in the Caribbean love them and call them &#8216;lucky toes&#8217;&#8230; </p>
1447<p>I&#8217;m still trying to find the most suitable sandals. When I was in Grenada over X-mas I kept wondering where to buy a comfy pair of footwear? Any suggestions, Nora?</p>

1469I don&#8217;t tend to buy things like this in Grenada, since there isn&#8217;t much selection and imported goods are overpriced. So I either get stuff abroad, or I order online </p>

1492					<p>Hi, What a funny comment! I had to re-read it to be sure I understood your point. I love pix of sandals with feet in them, it helps to figure out how the sandal will hit the foot. Also, it personalizes the info, so that we&#8217;re shown that the author has worn each pair. Feet are feet, who cares. I mean, why even comment? Baffling, but very laughable indeed.</p>

1586					<p>Fab,</p>
1587<p>I think you are a horrible person. (Guaranteed 100%!!) I&#8217;m sure there are many horrible things about you, one of which is your inadequate grasp of the English language. </p>
1588<p>I don&#8217;t understand why you feel the great need to comment on her feet. And on top of that, you decided to go on and on about how much you hate her feet. That&#8217;s incredibly rude and uncalled for. There is a saying: if you don&#8217;t have something nice to say, then don&#8217;t say anything at all. (Yes, I realize by saying all this, I am breaking this rule, but I figure this is a valid exception given what you have said before)</p>
1589<p>Nora, you are beautiful&#8230; every part of you, and I look forward to more pictures of your feet!</p>

1612					<p>I&#8217;m a big Birckenstock fan. I can walk an entire day in my Birckenstock sandals without getting sore feet or back pain. They offer amazing support.<br />
1613The only downside is that they also have a pretty deep foot bed (hence the support), which makes them rather &#8216;big&#8217;, especially if you want to take them in carry-on.</p>

1634					<p>Hi Sofie &#8211; You pinned it! That was the challenge with the model of Naots I chose as well; they&#8217;re very comfortable but not totally pack-friendly.<br />
1635This is why I ended up choosing a lower profile footbed in the Taos (they also have Birkenstock-esque styles on offer); it seemed the best of both worlds with great support and a lighter smaller pack-weight.</p>

1658					<p>You don&#8217;t know how many sleepless nights I&#8217;ve spent over the best possible sandals for traveling. I&#8217;ve seriously tried Zappo&#8217;s patience with how many sandals I&#8217;ve ordered and returned. It&#8217;s interesting that you landed on these four brands, when I feel like everyone (meaning various websites that I shamelessly scoured for foot-related information) recommended Teva, Merrell, or Keen. I finally picked a pair of Keens almost at random that have served me well so far in my travels, but aren&#8217;t much to look at. I assumed that there was to be a necessary trade-off between travel-suitability and attractiveness, but your shoes all seem fairly cute. Maybe, I&#8217;ll try Taos next time around.</p>

I own several pairs of cheap flip flops but I think a quality pair is important.  I am not sure that flip flops are a good option as it can get irritation in between the toes after a while.

1877I&#8217;ve never heard of Tribu, but I see that they&#8217;re very similar to Tevas (and Chacos). Glad you like them! 8 years is awesome &#8211; they must be very well made!</p>

1900					<p>Great post! I need to buy a new pair of sandals. I currently have tw
1900o (Keen trekking sandals and Dr Scholl sandals which I wear at work). I had both for years, but they need replacing now and I only want to buy one pair this time. I have been looking for a pair that I can use for trekking and to wear in the office during my volunteer stints (i.e. I need comfort, sturdiness and elegance). Not very easy. Tena has got a great new range which I might try out. Will definitely check out your Taos sandal.</p>

2036					<p>Nora,</p>
2037<p>My biggest dilemma when looking for travel sandals is wondering if I should use the same sandals for both showering and walking around.  Do you usually carry a separate pair of cheap flip flops for showering, or do you try to pick travel sandals that you can also wear in the shower?<

I feel awkward going to a nice dinner in sandles that scream &#8220;backpacker&#8221;, so having a versitle shoe that can be dressed up or down is important to me. I&#8217;m a Crocs girl myself (Kadee Ballet Flat) and they are my go-to shoes when traveling.  I&#8217;ll keep the Taos in mind when I retire my Crocs.  Thanks for breaking down the pros and cons of several shoes.  Great research!</p>

2106Thanks! I&#8217;m glad you found this post useful. I like the ballet flat style of Crocs too&#8230;.but you don&#8217;t find them slippery?</p>

2127					<p>No, nothing comes to mind to me about slipping in Crocs.  Now when my feet get wet, they slip around INSIDE the Crocs, but I can&#8217;t think of a major incident where I almost fell or did the splits when wearing them.  Maybe we walk differently? Or maybe Chiang Mai&#8217;s street grime doesn&#8217;t get as slippery when wet?  The shoes do have a bit off grip on the bottom, and I know that the original style is popular with chefs/cooks (who need comfy safe shoes in the tiled kitchen!)</p>

2148					<p>I think my slipperiest moments came when on smooth concrete (or an inside wet polished floor), and also, when the tread had largely worn. It&#8217;s great to start, but I put them through their paces. At least they&#8217;re not horrendously expensive to replace regularly.<br />
2149(I do really like the looks of the Croc ballet flat as a decent close-toed shoe).</p>

2176					<p>I&#8217;ve had exactly the same problem with my own search for sandals, though it has to do with the fact that 99% of all sandals available for men have a strap that goes directly across the hinge where the instep connects with the shin. I have no idea how any other human is capable of wearing those for extended periods of time, because any time I have to wear one of those for more than about 2 hours, they make my feet bleed. Every time, in that exact spot.</p>
2177<p>The only ones anywhere on the planet that have secure straps that don&#8217;t do this are Chacos, which, correctly, put the straps over the fleshiest parts of the feet where nothing can go wrong. I have no idea why other styles exist. Unfortunately, Chacos are heavy, and they don&#8217;t have the anti-microbial treatment that other sandals do. Very dumb.</p>
2178<p>So anyway, Chacos recently came out with ultra-lightweight versions of these sandals, so I was excited to try them. Until I tried them. They changed the layout, and put a plastic buckle right over a bone. I have no idea how these products get all the way out into the real world. The spot started getting irritated, and I sent them back.</p>
2179<p>I&#8217;m planning on wearing my Chacos and just dragging them along the concrete to gradually thin out the sole. I can&#8217;t see any other solution other than founding my own sandal company.</p>

2269					<p>As weird as this may sound, I think guys (read: me) have the same issue. I have been trying to find a one shoe fits all for some time now.<br />
2270At first, I tried my super comfortable dress shoes. While fashionable while walking around, even in jeans, you can imagine how ridiculous I looked when weather called for shorts.<br />
2271Then, I tried sneakers. Plain, light, white sneakers seemed to be a fit as I don&#8217;t often go clubbing while I travel anyways. Alas, sneakers smell really bad after hiking, and you can imagine what happened next when I went into places that required me to take off my shoes :(.<br />
2272Currently, I have settled into some black sneakers that look a bit on the dressy side. I have yet to find my perfect shoe&#8230; but the search continues.</p>
2273<p>I forwarded this post to my GF as she looks for the perfect sandal all the time.</p>

2315					<p>A chiropodist gave me an invaluable tip one hot summer when I limped in with weirdly achey feet. I wouldn&#8217;t travel now without a small bottle of rubbing alcohol aka surgical spirit. Mine&#8217;s in a watertight former hotel-shampoo container. </p>
2316<p>Wipe your soles with it after a shower at the end of a long day of walking, let your feet air dry, and I swear you can feel any pain evaporate.</p>
2317<p>I also rub down the soles of my walking sandals with it. I had one really old pair of great leather mules that looked good on, were super comfortable but did have stinky soles. That denatured alcohol killed the bacteria right off. One pair less in the landfill! (Maybe vinegar would have a similar effect if you want to avoid spirits?)<br />
2318          Happy hiking, everyone!</p>

2339					<p>Hi Fiona,<br />
2340OMG this is great advice! I&#8217;m going to try it on stinky sandals/shoes, and also the next time I have achey feet (which honestly, now that I use Wiivv sandals and insoles, almost never happens, but still&#8230;.) 🙂</p>

2363					<p>Woven leather slip-on are also a great option for men as they can fit that sweet spot between not too causal, yet functional, keep feet clean or less rocks to deal with, can wear them on sand, easy to get on/off and breathable leather. Sure they can get wet though avoid this often. Sure can hike some thou avoid lots, likely like jogging in them;) They have limits. Thou depending on what planning to do might be your thing. If lite/not bulky than two pairs might take traveling of course wearing one.<br />
2364I like mephisto sandals! Wayyy better than birks!!!! I can walk all day in them they look good in dressy or sporty. I got them wet lots in Spain/Portugal, in fact glad had them for that reason and were fine on cobble sidewalks.<br />
2365They’re tad heavy so looking at what they offered yet in lighter.<br />
2366I can’t do flip flops or thongs or crocs.<br />
2367+ Debating slip-ons or trainers with lightweight sandals for Thailand in March….see what itinerary plans make before deciding<br />
2368Thanks ✌🏽This guy likes reading to learn from others regards of their gender or what their feet look like 😉😆🤪✌🏽❤️🍀</p>

2567					<p>Hello again,<br />
2568There IS a big difference between tourists vs travelers!  You are a true inspiration for wanna be travelers.  So I&#8217;m guessing that Teva &amp; Taos win the top 2 choices?  With Chacos close behind?  Ironic that Crocs were originally intended and inspired for boater, by boaters and look how they have evolved into much needed style choices and copy cats!<br />
2569Safe and healthy travels to you!  Enjoy Europe and bring warm &amp; waterproof clothes!  Holland is cold and it&#8217;s only Mid -September!  Last week it was 80&#8217;s and cold weather season snapped this week.</p>

2614					<p>Hi Nora</p>
2615<p>Great post.  I have a pair of Merrell walking sandals that I&#8217;ve had for years and now sadly are falling to pieces&#8230;.and they stink LOL.  Whilst not that stylish they are bloody comfy and I&#8217;ve walked miles in them.  I&#8217;m in Thailand and cannot find a replacement.  To dress up I wear my Ipanema flip flops which are slightly moulded and provide reasonable support for a flip flop.</p>
2616<p>My husband&#8217;s heels roll in and we have found him some very stylish Scholl (I know Shcoll &#8211; stylish!) biomechanical flip flops, but sadly Scholl walking sandals were extremely uncomfortable&#8230;so we are still looking.</p>
2617<p>So we are both still on the look out for some good walking sandals in Thailand</p>

2638					<p>Deborah &#8211; Yes, finding quality sandals in developing countries can be a challenge. In your situation I&#8217;d either order something online, or just locally get something cheap to &#8220;get by&#8221; while you&#8217;re in Thailand, until you arrive somewhere with some more selection.<br />
2639I hear wonderful things about Merrell shoes, and Darren&#8217;s varying experience with the Scholls is testament to the fact that every pair/style of shoes (even made by the same people) is different. Our tootsies are very personal!</p>

2683					<p>Hi David,<br />
2684I notice that Crocs now offer lots of styles of shoe that have proper straps to hold the foot in place, satisfying one of the (formerly missing) criteria for travel sandals.<br />
2685With regards to slip and falls, in my experience as the shoe wears, that&#8217;s when it becomes dangerous. The rest of the shoe may be in great condition, but as soon as that tread wears down, Crocs are the most slippery things I&#8217;ve ever worn.</p>

2708					<p>Greetings from Nairobi, Kenya.  I am in the sandal creation business.  And we have taken the ancient design of The Maasai Akala and created sexy, long lasting sandals using a tire as the sole.  Our tagline-&#8220;The Sole of Africa&#8221; Says it all.   The Maasia, strong, fit, with incredible posture have been using the tire as a sole for centurys, we just made it sexy.  Check it our at <a href="http://www.maasaitreads.com" rel="nofollow ugc">http://www.maasaitreads.com</a> and feel free to contact me directly and I will personally send you a couple of pairs at not cost so you can take them for a spin!</p>

2752					<p>Hi, I am so late to this blog but I am planning my 1st trip to Central America as a true backpacker this summer. </p>
2753<p>I have settled on taking 4 pairs of shoes. Too much you say? Well hear me out. I am taking a pair of flip flips (I am from the Caribbean and ALL I wear here is flip flops so this is a must for me). I like these: <a href="https://www.zappos.com/havaianas-freedom-flip-flops" rel="nofollow ugc">http://www.zappos.com/havaianas-freedom-flip-flops</a>. Foldable Ballet Flats &#8211; For these I am looking at Tieks (yes I know pricey). I have also seen some from Born that are nice and reviews say are comfortable as well. I will be traveling to captial cities, eating nice dinners and trying to live as normally as I can or would live based on my Caribbean livestyle.</p>
2754<p>I absotuely will not get a pair of those ugly Teva or Chaco shoes. I see them here worn by the backpacking community and I think its just sooooo ugly. I think dressing nice shoes respect to the place you are visiting and those no ugly shoes for me.  </p>
2755<p>My next two shoes are the biggest hickups. I am not an intense hiker (I am a wimpy city girl), but I want to be more outdoorsy so I would like to a gentle hike/jungle trek. Can you suggest  shoe for this?</p>
2756<p>I love those Taos you mentioned (very cute). How do they handle getting wet? It rains here most afternoons and usually every day in May and October. I am thinking Central America will be similar. Do you think this can act as a good shoe to occasionally handle some wet weather and lots of walking? Love any advice you are willing to give. As mentioned i live in the caribbean so purchasing any shoe from the states will be extra expensive and i will have limited return options. I am liking these are well. Any experience?  <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Jambu-Womens-Chatham-Sandal-Black/dp/B008K7G74S/" rel="nofollow ugc">http://www.amazon.com/Jambu-Womens-Chatham-Sandal-Black/dp/B008K7G74S/</a></p>
2757<p>I should also mention I wear size 11 and alot of these shoes stop at sie 10 or look HORRID ones they get to larger sizes. </p>
2758<p>
2758PS: your feet are fine. Happy to have you as a foot model.</p>

2779					<p>Hi Danie,<br />
2780Nice choices! I like the ankle strap on the flip flops, which will make for a more well-rounded shoe, and having lived in the Caribbean myself, I understand the constant use of flip flops!<br />
2781I also like a nice pair of ballet flats &#8211; very practical. </p>
2782<p>As for light hiking sandals, your choice of the Jambus look nice, but with the microfibre footbed you&#8217;ll be looking at the same potential complication as the Taos; they may not fare too well with a mud puddle. But I&#8217;ve been stuck in the rain with the Taos and they&#8217;ve been just fine.<br />
2783Check out some of the suggestions from commenters in this thread &#8211; it appears that Crocs/Chacos/Teva have all come out with some very stylish options that defy the stereotypes, and might be better muddy jungle hiking options. </p>
2784<p>And beware of four pairs of shoes&#8230;the heavier your luggage, the more miserable you&#8217;ll be on travel days! (Just saying). 😉</p>

2805					<p>Thanks for the reply Nora. I know the travel rule is no more than 2 or 3 but I see backpackers and travellers a all the time here and I just wonder why they could not have put a little more effort into the way they dress when in an urban center or something like that. I have seen some of the crocs ballet flats and think that could be a shower shoe/ballet shoe option. </p>
2806<p>I&#8217;m thinking the four shoes will cover every situation Wi without making me too self conscious and still maintain some fashion sense. I&#8217;m the kind of girl to iron clothes to wear to the supermarket. If the cities of CA are anything like my Caribbean city dressing nicely (jeans, nice top and shoes
2806), will get you a long way. I also wear size 11 so I doubt my ability to grab one of these options in Central America should the need arise. Thanks again for the great advice.</p>

2852					<p>I stumbled on this piece when  I was googling travel shoes&#8230; Nice work!  I am specifically looking for something which i was sure was called Ada&#8217;s insoles&#8230; Anyone know them?  Bit of a misnomer as they ate not actually insoles, but slip ons with an incredibly thin sole, an ugly white mesh  over at the front and a piece of elastic at the back&#8230; Sexy they are not!  however, they fit into a handbag or deep trouser pocket, weigh almost nothing and are perfect for taking along travelling just for the shower, or if wearing boots to fly in, for slipping on on the plane.  I read about them on a travel site and bought them online about 8 years ago and really need a new pair but when I googled them i can&#8217;t find them.  Would love a contact if anyone knows them&#8230; As a minimalist packer, I really don.t want to go back to packing flip flops for showers instead of these&#8230;  Thanks!</p>

2897					<p>Now, before you look at them remember I sid they are not pretty!  But they weigh zero and pack almost anywhere.  I often stay in real dives to stretch my money and stay on the road longer&#8230; The kind pf places where you would not walk barefoot on the floor or in the shower for any reward, and these are perfect for that kind of hidden indoor use.  If they made the mesh black they would be a little less offensive to the eye but I tolerate them dor their convenience&#8230; as long as nobody I know is looking 😉<br />

2944					<p>Hey, all! My husband I are are traveling to Europe for two weeks in June of this year. We will be visiting Dublin, London, Amsterdam, Paris, Venice, Cinque Terre in Italy, Siena, and Rome. We will obviously be on our feet all day long in each city seeing the sights. The first sandal I&#8217;ve tried on is a Chaco. The comfort was great, but I&#8217;m wondering from anyone who has worn a Chaco, do your feet sweat and slip around because of the polyurethane foot bed?</p>

3055					<p>Hi Michelle,<br />
3056It depends on the model of Taos sandal that you get. The one I got and reviewed here doesn&#8217;t fare so well when it gets totally wet but it does dry out. For the beach, I&#8217;d probably just take flip flops or a more waterproof sandal if I were planning to walk in the water.</p>

3079					<p>I loved reading your review.  I found it very helpful.  And I do love the style of the Taos Trophy sandal&#823
30790;.so much that I went to Amazon immediately to check them out.  I was disappointed to find they only come in whole sizes.  I&#8217;m a solid 8.5&#8230;.always have been without much variation among shoe brands.  If I&#8217;m ultra concerned about fit and support and I&#8221;m spending $110 on a sandal, I want it to fit MY foot.  I&#8217;m not going to force my 8.5 foot to live in a 9.0 shoe.  That&#8217;s so unfortunate.  I guess I&#8217;ll keep searching.</p>

3100					<p>Hi Kristy,<br />
3101Hmm&#8230;I thought I had the Taos Trophy in size 8.5 myself&#8230;but I don&#8217;t remember now (and the size tag is gone so I can&#8217;t confirm). Too bad! Do any of the other styles come in 8.5?</p>

3124					<p>The con to wearing crocs is that they&#8217;re crocs. Haha they are extremely comfortable though, and I would definitely wear them if I were gardening or doing yard work. I&#8217;
3124ve been wanting to get a good, sturdy pair of sandals for a while now, and right now it seems to be down to either chacos or birkenstocks. My mother had birkenstocks when I was growing up, and she still has them in good condition. She took great care of them, though. Thanks for the info!</p>

3145					<p>Hi Stephanie,<br />
3146Glad this post helped! I&#8217;ve been surprised with some of the nicer styles of crocs available these days, but like you say, they&#8217;re still crocs, so maybe that &#8220;shoe won&#8217;t fit&#8221; your needs. If you&#8217;re looking at Birkenstocks, you might want to take a peek at what Naot offers&#8230;.they also have similar styles, quality, and are solid shoes. Happy shoe shopping!</p>

3190					<p>Hey Nora, </p>
3191<p>Great article! I&#8217;ve been searching for the perfect travel sandal for a few days now. I&#8217;ve actually been eye-ing the croc &#8216;sexy flip&#8217;
3191 *cringes at name*. They look really practical and not too bad style-wise. Sadly my size is sold out! (in the Netherlands) Argh. Also, I&#8217;m afraid those arches might not fit (I have big feet). </p>
3192<p>The tevas zirra lite look like exactly what I need, but I can hardly find them anywhere (all sold out online and off). Maybe they stopped making them? Do you still use the same shoes or do you have any updates? Anyway, thanks for taking the time to write and keep up the good work! I wish you all the best. 🙂</p>

3213					<p>Hi Pamela,<br />
3214I&#8217;m glad you enjoyed the article! I don&#8217;t know about the Teva Zirra&#8230;maybe indeed they&#8217;ve stopped making them. Hopefully you can find the perfect pair of travel sandals soon!<br />
3215I still have the Taos Trophy sandals, and they&#8217;ve held up very well. I&#8217;m getting a bit bored with the style (after 3 years!), but they&#8217;ve certainly stood up to the test of time.<br />
3216Happy shopping!</p>

3260					<p>Hi Rebecca,<br />
3261Given that you&#8217;re going in the Spring season when the weather could be cool (especially in places like the Alps), if I were you I&#8217;d go with fully enclosed shoes. You can bring along a pair of flip flops or light sandals for times when you want to relax without full shoes. Enjoy your trip!</p>

3284					<p>This summer I took an almost identical (different strap design) pair of Taos on a two month trip in Europe. They definitely required a long breaking in period. And after having a pair of clark&#8217;s (unfortunately discontinued) with a similar food bed years ago used on a similar trip, I was surprised by how badly the Taos began to smell, not a problem I usually have with shoes. Additionally the footbed would pill which would be uncomfortable under my foot at times. </p>
3285<p>But all things considered, ei. the difficulty of finding all around great travel sandals, they did their job well and looked cute too. </p>
3286<p>Wondering if you&#8217;ve considered trying some of croc&#8217;s cutier sandals (recent releases), I take them as my shower shoe (hostels) and they double as my night out shoe, giving my feet a well needed break. plus they are incredibly/surprisingly sturdy. But I am still weary of using them as my &#8220;only sandal&#8221; because they are rubber and not that crazy supportive look that the naots and toas and berks have for walking. Thoughts?</p>

3307					<p>Hi Syd,<br />
3308Sorry you had some trouble with your Taos shoes. I must admit, after having had (and thoroughly worn) my Taos sandals for three years, I&#8217;m starting to experience similar challenges to you in terms of the footbed pilling and smelling.<br />
3309My solution: I bought another pair of Taos &#8211; this time a different style of shoe to better suit the high-altitude Peruvian climate I&#8217;m currently living in (it&#8217;s a mary jane type of shoe, so not a sandal). </p>
3310<p>I&#8217;ve seen some pretty cute crocs lately, and seriously thought about getting a pair when I need a new pair of sandals. True; they&#8217;re not the same &#8220;crazy supportive&#8221; style of the Naots/Taos/etc shoes, but Crocs did the trick for me for many years. I just wouldn&#8217;t take them hiking off-road or white-water rafting &#8211; but then again I wouldn&#8217;t have done that with the Naots either.<br />
3311It really boils down to where you go and what you do on the road.<br />
3312Hope you find the perfect pair of sandals!</p>

3381					<p>Thank you for this article!  I have been on the search for a perfect sandal for an upcoming trip and I&#8217;d never heard of Taos before.  If I hadn&#8217;t read your awesome review I never would have tried on a pair of these and fallen head over heels for the comfort and style.  I wore them for a 30 minute walk uphill this morning and even with zero breaking-in they were perfectly comfortable.  Plus they are so light and low profile they will most certainly fit in my carry-on which is good because I am not checking baggage.</p>

3403Nice choice of sandal! I think the next time I&#8217;m in a place with decent shipping, I&#8217;ll be investing in a new pair of Taos sandals myself&#8230;.the ones I&#8217;ve had have gone strong for quite a few years &#8211; it&#8217;s time for a new pair!</p>

3471					<p>Hey there,</p>
3472<p>I diligently read your post (and then got lost an most of your other posts) before making a purchase because I love to travel, but have flat feet and when walking around that&#8217;s a problem. After I had purchased my very traditional birkenstocks from Softmoc, my friend came by and she had also purchased some new birks. However she bought the EVA ones. They are waterproof, super light, and come in a few of the different birk styles.</p>
3473<p>I previously had the non-slip crocs (which means the sole, your foot still very much slips inside of the shoe if water gets into it) which were amazing for work (2 pairs over 4 years), but not great for my lack of arch support. <a href="http://www.crocs.ca/crocs-alice-work/11050,en_CA,pd.html?cid=100&#038;cgid=work-shoes#start=7" rel="nofollow ugc">http://www.crocs.ca/crocs-alice-work/11050,en_CA,pd.html?cid=100&#038;cgid=work-shoes#start=7</a> </p>
3474<p>First thing I noticed with my friends EVA birks were they were about as light as my crocs, which is HUGELY beneficial when traveling. I think I&#8217;m going to be getting a pair of them pretty soon! They are about half the price of the price of traditional birks as far as I saw. Hope you are enjoying yourself wherever in the world you are!</p>

3519					<p>I have had 2 pair of Taos sandals and both pair have started pilling on the foot bed within a month of wearing. Could be due to walking in the dewey grass. And they can smell a bit.   I have thrown them in the washing machine after they just got too bad and they faired well.  I found them brand new at the thrift store for a couple bucks each so I am not out the higher end price of these. Love the Naots and Berkinstock foot bed. There are two style of Noat soles on the mules and I found one holds up better than the other.</p>

3564					<p>Thank you Nora for sharing your experience with sandals. Reviews like these give buyers a clear picture on a certain model befor they jump on it. Naots are sturdy and have proved to be reliable and supportive. I have recently written an article about some of the best walking sandals if you guys are interested.<br />

3607					<p>Hi Gate,<br />
3608My Taos took much longer to start pilling (as in, well over a year), but admittedly I managed to keep them dry. They started pilling after I got them really wet once.<br />
3609They started smelling a bit after a couple of years, but by that point I&#8217;d gotten more than enough wear out of them&#8230;they have since gone to the big travel sandals home in the sky, with reverence!</p>

3698					<p>Hey Ryan,<br />
3699Gummies (as in gum boots, if people don&#8217;t know what we&#8217;re talking about!) are okay, and downright necessary in some places, but totally impractical for travel! One of those things you borrow or buy for the duration of your stay and give away before you leave. Unless, of course, you&#8217;re prepared to wear them on the plane&#8230;. 😉</p>

3722					<p>Great article! I started out with keens and they immediately gave me blisters and were too ugly for me to handle on a non-waterfall hiking basis that they&#8217;ve been in my closet now for a few years. I usually travel with shower flip flops and Birkenstocks now.  I have gotten caught in the rain in my Birks and I was pleasantly surprised that they held up really well! I do wish they were a bit more packable as I strap them to the outside of my backpack.</p>

3743					<p>Hey Katie,<br />
3744Yes, the biggest downfall of Birks in my opinion is their weight and bulk. I&#8217;m happy they held up well in the rain; sometimes the footbed can start pilling after it gets wet.<br />
3745If you like the Birks style and comfort but don&#8217;t like the weight, check out their EVA styles (shown above in the post) &#8211; I hear great things, and they&#8217;re totally waterproof!</p>

3768					<p>Oh my goodness&#8230; I am so thankful to know that others struggle with travel sandals as well! I definitely will be checking out some of the suggestions. So far, I&#8217;ve tried Skechers, Viakix, flip flops, and several different &#8220;dressy&#8221; styles. It doesn&#8217;t seem like it would be that hard to check all 3 boxes (cute, comfortable, durable), but it&#8217;s proving to be quite the challenge!</p>

3790Indeed it&#8217;s a challenge &#8211; compounded by the fact that everybody has a different sense of personal style and a different set of criteria they need to fill as well. Good luck in your search! Let us know here if you find something that works.</p>

3813					<p>Hi, some thoughts on the slingbacks? They are classic and I think they fall on full toe sandals as despite their tip, what holds our feet to the sole is an ankle strap which crosses behind the ankle and connets to either the tip or sole instead of going all the way around the ankle :).<br />
3814Do you find the comfier than their full shoed heel versions? Of course it depends a lot of the heel height and shape and they&#8217;re generally lower on average, being these sandals usually more slimming.</p>

3835					<p>Hi Antonymous,<br />
3836Funny you should mention slingbacks&#8230;I&#8217;m on a mission to find some nice travel-friendly slingbacks! You&#8217;re right though &#8211; they&#8217;re not quite sandals, but they can be stylish and still friendly for walking around town. Less practical in all scenarios, but definitely better for dressing up.</p>

3857					<p>Really? Awesome!<br />
3858Exactly, they&#8217;re dressy sandals and can be very comfortable, but in some scenarios are less practical I get, because their ankle strap tend to give a bit less grip, as it doesn&#8217;t go all around the ankle, so to replicate shoe heels!</p>

3904					<p>Hi Nora,</p>
3905<p>How did the Tulum crocs end up working out for you? Did they provide decent support and n
3905o blisters?</p>
3906<p>I am on the hunt for a sandal I’ll be able to walk around all day in, probably miles, in the hot Italian sun this summer — but I am being picky about fashion! I need to be able to wear them all day (and out to dinner etc), but I’d be dressed up in summer dresses and need my sandals to look nice enough. I have been scouring the internet for answers! These might just fit the bill, but any feedback you have would be much appreciated! Thank you so much</p>

3927					<p>Hi Casey,<br />
3928Such a great question &#8211; I&#8217;m glad you asked!<br />
3929I had really high hopes for the Crocs Tulum, since they&#8217;re fashionable, waterproof, lightweight, etc. </p>
3930<p>Regarding support &#8211; the shoe bed is pretty much flat. So if you&#8217;re looking for something with high arches, the Tulum won&#8217;t work. </p>
3931<p>As for walking long distances in summer heat &#8211; I gave this a go in south Florida on a 10k walk. I ended up with a blister on the ball of my foot. And while I&#8217;m okay with blisters as part of a break-in process, I am afraid this wasn&#8217;t a break-in issue since there&#8217;s nothing to break in on the footbed. And of course now I&#8217;m scared to take them on a long walk again! </p>
3932<p>So, I like them for shorter walks, city slicking, and light water sports. But they don&#8217;t quite tick all the boxes as an all-around perfect sandal. The search continues!!</p>

3980					<p>This is my go-to sandal: <a href="https://astraldesigns.com/products/rosa" rel="nofollow ugc">https://astraldesigns.com/products/rosa</a></p>
3981<p>I like thong-style sandals, and with the added strap this sandal goes on hikes with me, and still looks cute enough for casual evenings out. Can&#8217;t dress it up as much as other sandals, but I wear it for literally everything else in the summer. It&#8217;s also made to get wet. I&#8217;ve had mine for around 6-7 years &#8211; the strap wore out and I emailed the company and they just sent me a new one for free.</p>
