I love Skechers Go Walk shoes. I walked all over Tuscany in these shoes even in wet weather, and on slanted marble steps in the leaning tower of Pisa and never slipped. They dry reasonably quickly if they get wet, and you can wear them with or without socks. They are light and pack well.

I'm a dog walker and for the past three years, I would walk through at least one pair of Tivas each summer and then buy a new pair. I have had better luck with Kuru Tread sandals. They have great arch support, are very comfortable and have lasted well. I will buy more as more colors come out, but I haven't worn out either of the two pair that I bought this year.

Laurie - can you (or if you already have) present a video for exactly how the airport process should go? From arrival to the airport through getting on the plane, what should happen in order. I know you’ve discussed TSA check in process. But those of us who rarely fly (and will be solo) this would alleviate some stress… Thank you for considering my request:)

Keen also makes wonderful waterproof hiking shoes. I find the keens fit my foot better than Merrell. It kept my feet dry in down pours in Alaska. I completely agree with the water proof over pants.

Teva tirra are my favorite go to sandal! They were recommended by a shoe specialist for my feet specifically when we were going on a cruise and would be doing lots of walking on cobblestones. My feet did not hurt at all in the evening. I have been wearing them ever since. Algeria shoes and sandals are very supportive and they have the rocking kind where it decreases fatigue with walking. The one problem is the flat bottom does not accommodate well for walking on uneven surfaces. They are a great shoe if you’re going to be in the city and do a lot of walking on sidewalks. Laurie, your recommendations are so important. One year we went on a cruise and I brought soft comfortable shoes with. My feet killed by the end of the day, and I actually had to put my feet on ice. Firm and supportive is so important!

I loved Tevas and Keens back when I could wear them, though the Keen midhikers that I had didn't have enough ankle support for me (I need my hiking boots to go up all the way past my ankles, and those ones didn't) - there were 2 summer trips (2 1/2 weeks each) where I brought only my black Tevas (no other shoes at all) and they were enough for everything from hosing down the driveway to singing at a funeral. For the last 13 months, though, I haven't been able to wear anything with any drop from heel to toe for very long except in deep snow where the heel will sink in enough to counteract that slope (on other surfaces it throws me forward and kills my back because I'm constantly fighting against falling forward), so now Xeros are my go-to - sandals, sneakers, dress shoes (the dress shoes with compression socks, my feet were still perfectly fine at the end of my friends' wedding reception, even though I'd been wearing them literally all day, on my feet for most of the day and a fair bit of dancing at the reception - all the other bridesmaids, their feet were killing them in their fancy shoes by the end of the wedding itself), hiking boots - and I pair them with the 6mm thick NorthSoles: the hiking boots with NorthSoles got me through an entire week of camp walking around everywhere and my feet never hurt. If Altra had a truly waterproof zero-drop pair, I'd go for those as work boots because the sole is significantly thicker, stiffer, and more cushioned than the Xeros (the thin flexible sole of the Xeros isn't a problem when walking around, but it is a bit when riding due to the pressure points from the stirrups), but the NorthSoles help significantly.

ALL the shoes I wear are either Vionic or Merrell From dress shoes to sandals to hikers, these two brands do it all in comfort for me. Thanks for all your great suggestions!!!😊

I bought the Ecco booties in black for my upcoming Alaska cruise (first vacation in 5+ years) based on your review and have been wearing them in the house for about a month - they are awesome. I also have water resistant hiking boots for off ship excursions. I raved so much about the shoes my husband ordered a pair to use for work - the men shoes look nice against dress paints as well as casual but give him the support he needs - he stands and walks a lot. We are attempting to travel with 2 under seat backpacks, 1 22 in carry on and then checking 1 bag. I hope to split our stuff up so in the event that the checked bag is delayed or does not make it we have most of what we need. Wish us luck!

You can now get trail hiking runners which are like a normal runner but good traction and waterproof

Merrell Jungle Macs! Very versatile shoe and super comfortable! I wear them most of the winter in Michigan and they keep my feet dry. I have some Merrell low heel clogs that I wore to Australia. I even wore them to hike up the remains of an extinct volcano. I never really needed another shoe. OOFOS has a slide sandal that I also used in Australia. It was so comfortable and I used it as my shower slippers, house shoe, sandals etc. Because I had the black slides, I could also dress them up and bonus: they weigh virtually nothing and take up very little space in a carry-on!

I used to be a die hard Merrell wearer but lately the inner soles seem harder. I now discovered Skeechers there and there inner soles have more cushion.

Laurie, your videos are always SO helpful! My favorite brand for travel is Merrell. Their sandals (and a pair of Cariuma tennis shoes) got me through our Mediterranean cruise last summer, including LOTS of walking! I plan to get a pair of waterproof hiking shoes for Iceland next summer, and they will likely be Merrell as well.

My Merrell Moab 3 waterproof hiking shoes worked out great during my trip to Alaska. I use many of your traveling tips. Thanks for sharing them!

I have Keen sandals (some waterproof) that are 6 yrs old and still going strong. Great arch support!

+1 for Merrell Moab. I have 3 pair, one waterproof. Super rugged, comfortable, and versatile.

I asked my doctor for my hip what is the best type of shoe for walking especially on slippery or cobblestones and he told me a trail runner because of the tread. He said the new balance were really good and to make sure there were ties so you can somewhat adjust the fit. Thank you for this video it was really helpful. I always like to see what you recommend and link.

Clark's make comfortable ankle boots with excellent arch support.

I love shoes by ARA, so supportive and comfy. Just the best. ❤️

Last year I went on a Christmas Market Rhine River cruise. We had lots of walking with the tour guide in each city or town and I wore Dansko waterproof shoes (not boots). There was plenty of snow and rain and cobblestones. I was very comfortable and with good wool socks I was warm as well. I wear them at home for my daily walks in the winter. We don’t have snow here but it’s wet often.

3 weeks in the Balkans and Istanbul in my Orthofeet Kitas. Easy to take off and put on for temples and mosques.

Merrells are awesome. Both of my hiking shoes are by Merrell, tested on the mountains in WA State. And yes, I do need ankle support.

I almost live in Born brand short boots. I really like Jambu for a non slip tread supportive

I'd been thinking of ordering the ECCO Soft 7 Waterproof Chelsea Boot for eons! After seeing your videos with them, I finally ordered in the color black and I LOVE THEM SO MUCH! I didn't need any break in time. SO comfortable and they will be perfect for our upcoming river boat Christmas cruise through Europe this December! Thanks for all your great tips!

THANK YOU for this in depth video about walking shoes for europe! it took me hours to find it, but well worth the search ;D

Just want to say thanks for all your tips. Found your channel and have watched every episode.

Laurie, I really like your content. I want recommend the Taos Z Soul shoe. I have several problems with my feet and I recently traveled for 2 weeks in Europe. I wore the Taos about 2/3 of the time and my ECCO Soft 7 the rest of the time. They are perfect for going through security because you don't have to untie the laces. There is a side zipper!! Also I could walk in them for hours and never got a blister or sore spot. The ECCO are also very comfortable but I got a blister from my sweaty socks rubbling against the leather insole. The Taos are canvas so not waterproof, just water repellant.

Jambu/JBU brand is my favorite. I usually go with an all terrain sneaker type or all terrain Mary Jane

My chiropractor recommender the Reef for my high arch support. Even the flip flop. Also, Power Step has supported flip flops AND inserts that are about 80 dollars and last about six months of daily wear. Also recommended by my sport’s chiropractor. Another great video idea, so tu Laurie.

For a stylish and comfortable loafer, I recommend Blondo Frey. I bought a pair in Sand. Truly waterproof, and you can walk for miles in comfort.

Perfect timing! Thank you for these tips😊

If you prefer or need a wide-size shoe Merrell is an excellent choice. So is SAS and Munro. These are pricey but they have lasted many years of hard use and abuse. So cost per wear has been much less overall.

I recently returned from Scotland, loved it. I took a pair of Vessi pair of waterproof booties and a pair of Zero shoes that I waterproofed with Merrel waterproof and anti staining spray. Feet stayed dry in both pairs of shoes. Tread on both was really good. I would not recommend Zero shoes to pack on a trip if you are not used to barefoot shoes. I love barefoot shoes and have worn them over the past 5 years, but they take time to get used to. The Zero shoes I wore for several days in a row, which is unusual for me. The other pair of shoes I packed were flat dress shoes by All Birds, also very comfortable and light to pack. For most of my trip we were to dress for dinner, so I needed a dress shoe.

Very comfy, light and minimal elegant hiking are Tecnica Boots or shoes Great for long walks and chores in the city two They are bit narrow Depends on the model even more But its still best shoes i had Prici but very well made

Oh, I love your videos. I am a huge merrell fan. Now I have other ideas to try!! Thanks again.

I have a couple of pair of Chaco ankle boots. Waterproof, good sole, and supportive. I wore them in Italy without any breaking period. Poured rain in Tuscany, my boots were wet, but my feet were not!

I’ll be in Asics. tennis shoes and Skechers slip-ons for my trip to Morocco next year

Thank you for all your helpful videos. I’m traveling over seas between Thanksgiving & Christmas and have gained so much information on how to pack. Also for the shoe information as I need to make sure I don’t fall as a Sr. Your shoes look very stable. Thanks so much.

Laurie, you turned me into an Ecco addict!!! I just love the sneakers and booties! I own many pair now!

Hoka’s, best ever!

Wow,great information Laurie! I downloaded this to refer back to! ❤️

I have been buying Merrill shoes for a couple of years now and am taking them to Australia and New Zealand next year. I'm still looking for a nicer pair to wear when going out to supper over there.

I love the look of the Echo but they don’t come in my big feet size! I do love my Allbirds. It’s the only brand I buy now with the exception of Vio ic sandals. I traveled for 2 weeks in Europe last year, in rain, ice, and snow, and my Allbirds with my wool socks kept my feet warm & dry!

God live you. Your hilarious. We can wear coordinated while hiking. I almost spit my rice out my nose.😅😅😅😅😂 Love you Laurie

We love Lems waterproof leather hiking boots, very lightweight minimal shoes. ✌️

You did a video and suggested some neutral Sam Edelman, low heeled sandals. I bought them and they are the most comfortable shoes. Thank you so much because I have a bad back and a lot of shoes are not comfortable for me.😊 those tall black boots are sold out I would’ve bought those. Hopefully they’ll restock.😊

I’m so envious of people who can wear sneakers all day! (LoL. I take my sneaks off as soon as I finish teaching my fitness classes or finish my run) My feet have a wide toe/ball area, with a high instep AND high arches (although I don’t need much arch support because my feet are super flexy through each stride). Add to that, I need a VERY flexible sole otherwise my heels constantly slide up and down the back of the shoe. I can’t tie my shoes too tightly otherwise my toes get numb from the pressure on the top of my foot (due to dancer’s breaks). I sure miss old school high top Reeboks which were based on dancers’ feet. The search for the perfect “walking on European streets” continues!!! I’m always open to suggestions! My podiatrist and sports med Drs get a kick out me bringing shoes in for us to evaluate. 🤣😂🤣

Wow!!! Great info on what shoes to get for vacationing... or just everyday. Love all the styles you showed. Gonna start shopping, thanks Laurie!

My Sister in law is a Keen dealer. they are the shoes my wife will wear now that she's out of the boot for her foot surgery. Keen has short and tall shoe styles, and sandals. my sandals are over a decade old, as are my black Red Wing work shoes. (the dog we used to have destroyed the Bass shoes she bought for me and I had a very hard time scolding her for getting rid of those horrible shoes - then I rushed out and bought the red wings before she could buy me more cheap shoes) my usual travel shoes are the red wings and my black sandals. Keens are also fully submersible, and the shoes keep water out as long as you don't overtop them. (I wear the sandals if it is going to be wet and not too cold, because then I can just towel off my feet and put on dry socks and shoes)

The gym shoes are great for walking around in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico!!

Man, you have a fortune in shoes there!

the only sneakers i'll ever wear is hokas.

I’ll be taking my converses (dark blue denim colour but not denim fabric with turquoise accents) and I need to find some new sneakers for my trip to New Zealand this September.

Steve Madden platform sneakers!!

I love your travel videos. Thank you. I did purchase the Reef Sandals to wear in Hawaii last May. I wore them only once as they gave me an insane blister. I ended up leaving them at the resort. They were cute but not for me and my feet.

Hi, Laurie, love your channel and have learned so much about planes, travel accessories, clothing, and shoes! I’m going to give the Ecco bootie a try based on your recommendation as I’m looking for something lightweight and waterproof. I really like Dansko shoes for all-day comfort, and Skechers as well. Thanks again for your channel and all the helpful tips! 😊

I love my Kiziks (Vegas style). They’re actually comfortable than my Hokas! 😳😍

Merel are very good i agree i found them the most comfy and lease bolki

I've got extremely wide feet and use orthotics so I've got a pair of water resistant black sneakers.

Just remember waterproof means the chemical pfas. Some companies like Patagonia are moving away from pfas for waterproofing, because eventually it will be on a banned list. Pfas are the forever chemicals.

great tips, I will be looking for some of these shoes

Never thought of this! I sure needed this in Belguim ! Thx ❤

I usually wear nike runners - white in summer and black in winter. Im from europe

You need to try the shoes from the swiss brand on-running you will love them 👍😍

Thank you I have been watching your vlogs. You are in it, I have been buying some of your ideas on Amazon and those boots at Nordy is currently in my queue to buy

How many pairs of shoes do you usually take with you in the fall/winter to Europe? We are heading to Czechia for 10 days over Thanksgiving. So excited!

Fly London for wedge boots you can walk in all day.

I absolutely love your videos! I am a novice traveler and need all the help I can get. What is the brand of waterproof black boots in this video. They are GORGEOUS! Again thanks for all of your travel insite!

The Moab 3 (upper) link goes to men’s hikers? The lower link goes to the women’s. 😊

I love Merrell's Moabs, but Ive had the waterproof versions before and they are NOT worth it unless you're in snow a lot. If you need an actual waterproof boot, the Moab is NOT it. My Merrell Moab waterproof boots got about a pound heavier after every hike in the woods in the PNW where I live, you can't walk through a creek without them holding all the water. You have to dry them upside down in a boot dryer after they get soaked like that. Either get a rubber boot, a full leather boot, or a jungle combat boot if you're actually mucking around in the yuck. I do still enjoy the Moabs, and stick with the non-waterproof ones. They still have a water resistant upper and a great vibram sole.

All of those shoes (all Ecco?) look great, BUT I wear a 9.5/narrow and it’s very difficult to find a good-looking travel shoe in that size. 😢

I love the hat that you are wearing in #10. It looks so adorable on you! Can you please link the website that it, or similar, can be purchased. The website linked to "beach hat" is actually a felt fedora. Thank you. Another great video.

Is there any boots or sneakers you recommend that are much cheaper?

I love ASICS shoes for walking.

The Eccos are deceptively comfortable. That being said from my experience their sizing is terrible. You really need to try them in-store before buying.

LOL Oh yes! My problem is I need a wide toe box. I walked Florence Italy cobblestone in flip flops- got lost a lot so many extra steps. Oy!

The pearls looked so nice. Are these from Talbots? I did not see a link for them.

I like to have two pairs of walking shoes when I'm on a trip with lots of walking. I wonder if I could get by with one pair of shoes and two (different) pairs of insoles. Could be a game changer travel hack.... Sher would save space in the carry on. Thoughts?

Laurie, thank you for the video. Would Cloud 5 (you wear often) but in the waterproof version be a good all day shoe in Europe?

The best footwear for walking on bricks, uneven concrete, rocks, gravel, etc.? Lace-up BOOTS (Lowa) that come above the ankle with good boot socks.

I'm sorry to bother you with this silly question, but do you know the color/brand of the nail polish you are wearing on the old version of #10? I love it! Thanks so much for all of your great videos😄

I love the fushia shirt. May I know the brand please? Thank you for another helpful tip on what shoes to wear ❤

Please share link to the bag.

And the links you have does not work! Can you properly list or name the shoes and boots so one can look them up? Just showing them does not help! Thanks.

What is the make of number 5

Hello-Love your videos! I watch one at least everyday. I’m going to Europe in early June 2024. London, Paris, Milan, Florence then Italy. From Paris on will it be okay to wear dresses? I will be wearing comfortable sandals.

Thank you for all your tips on travel. I will be travelling in the near to the USA and will need assistance. Just wondering how much should I tip the employee pushing my the wheelchair from one gate to another? Just wondering. They do a great job.

I will be traveling to Israel in October. I tried the Echo sneakers that are beautiful. However, I tried the eight which is my size was probably two sizes too big then I tried the seven and I couldn’t get my foot in. I tried a dark brown. Any idea of another pretty sneaker that I can wear with dresses which is what I am planning to wear mostly in Israel. Thank you so much. I love your channel.

What's the use of this video if you don't name the shoes?

What brand are the black booties with zipper?

What brand is the black boots

Hmmm I need a great boot to wear in London waterproof and keeps my feet warm WALKING X 100000000 😆😆😆😆😆

What do you think of Hokas?

What brand was the waterproof beige low heel boots ? I could not find the link ? Thanks !

Hi, I’m going in Sept 2024 on a Norwegian Italy/Greece cruise what would you suggest for evening attire?

What is the brand at 1:50

I'm trying to figure out how you pack all these shoes and just have one carry on.

Would help if you say the brand rather than just talking about “this shoe”

Can anyone please recommend some reasonably priced DUPES for any of these? 🤗

❤❤❤
