MD Podiatrist Reveals What to Look for in a Travel Shoe

If you’re planning a trip to a warm location that involves any amount of walking, you need a pair of walking shoes that can stand up to the task – and your hot, sweaty hiking boots just aren’t going to cut it. “Arch support is important to look for when choosing sandals for walking and activity,” Dan Michaels, DPM advises.
 
 
Shoes with cushioning can also make walking feel more comfortable, but it’s really the combination of cushioning and arch support that you need for all-day wear. “Cushioning can be helpful in increasing comfort, but arch support will go farther in providing long-term comfort than cushion alone.” Dr. Michaels suggests leaving “sandals that are flat without any arch support or cushioning for wearing poolside, or for when you expect to do very little walking.”
