Heading on a European vacation this summer? Here are three footwear types we recommend you bring along to allow you to run from attraction to attraction with great enthusiasm.

1. Comfortable walking shoes: Europe is known for its cobbled streets and uneven terrain, so it's important to have a comfortable pair of walking shoes that can handle long walks and provide good support for your feet. Sneakers, walking shoes, or hiking shoes are a good choice depending on the type of terrain you expect to encounter.
2. Dressy flats: While sneakers are a great option for walking tours and outdoor activities, you may occasionally want to dress up for a nice dinner or a night out. A pair of dressy flats would be a good option as they are comfortable yet elegant and can be worn with a variety of outfits.
3. Sandals: During the summer months, it can get quite hot in most parts of Europe, and you'll want a pair of sandals (men's | women's) that are comfortable and breathable. Choose a pair with good arch support and straps that will keep your feet secure for long walks. Sandals can also be dressed up or down, making them versatile for different occasions, so you may be able to skip the dress shoes.

Remember, the key is to choose shoes that are comfortable, versatile, and suit your individual needs and style. Need help picking out that perfect pair? Consider booking a consultation with one of our pedorthists.
