Don't get caught out when vacation time comes around and you haven't got any suitable footwear... as the boy scouts always say: 'Be Prepared'. I am one of those who like to be ready for every eventuality, but the latter-day restrictions on flight luggage mean that having multi-purpose footwear is a must.Casual quality is the order of the day; something that you can wear all day and that would not look out of place in a fancy restaurant is the ideal footwear for packing in your suitcase. My personal recommendations (and I used to sell shoes years ago) would be something from Rockport, Ecco or Dansko Shoes for holiday wear and for the ladies who still want a bit of glamor, check out Beautifeel Shoes for comfort that does not compromise on style.
Admittedly the task of finding dual-purpose footwear is considerably easier for men, as the constraints of fashion have little effect on the basic form of men's footwear. For holidaying women however, there may need to be some compromise of high-glamor in favor of something a little more practical unless your holiday will only take you to the chicest boutique hotels, fine dining venues and night-life of somewhere like glamorous Monte Carlo or sophisticated London.
