Selecting Your Holiday Walking Shoes

Cautiously chosen walking shoes will make a world of difference on your vacation. Your feet are as unusual as your personality so just any old shoes would not do.

Here are some tips to help you select the appropriate walking shoes for you.

Find an athletic shop that has qualified people who can evaluate your walking pace. They can then point you towards a shoe that will match your style.

Your feet will swell on a walk. So choose a walking shoe that is about a size bigger than you usually would buy. Or, if viable, try on your shoes after a long walk.

Fit your shoes while wearing the same socks that you will be wearing on your holiday.

Consider the type of walking you will be doing. Hiking boots are good for poorly maintained tracks, off trail or cross country hikes. However they are heavy and stiff. Stick with walking or running shoes for walks on paved or maintained trails.

Make sure there is room at the toes and the sides. Even a small amount of itching will produce scalds.

Padded shoes give comfort and are great for non rugged walking surfaces. They commonly have a little less support.

Lightweight is essential when you are walking all day. You can afford to give up a little support for light weight when you are walking on pavement or maintained trails.

Avert flared soles & heels that are more than an inch higher than the sole in front. These types of shoes are not good for a walker’s gait.

You want a stretch shoe that will twist and bend at the ball of the foot.

If you have wide or thin feet make sure that you get a shoe that is sized for you. Do not settle for a standard width shoe. You will regret it.

The success of your holiday can depend on having a comfy pair of shoes to walk in. Take the time to find the right one. It is worth it.
