SHOES FOR ROAD TRIPS

BIRKENSTOCK ARIZONA SANDALS

The have long been a favourite of mine and not just for travelling! On long road trips, it’s inevitable that the temperature will change throughout the journey. An early start in the day can be cold but the afternoons 30+. I solve this change by wearing socks and sandals much to the chagrin of my travel companions. Birks can accomodate a big sock too, which I love and they are easy to take on and off.

TEVAS

Like the , the are good for temperature change as they can accommodate a large sock and can be removed easily. In addition to that, they offer a sport mode and won’t go flying off if you need to run. They’re also great to wear while swimming in oceans / rivers / etc as they protect the bottom of your feet from sharp rocks and dry quickly.

VANS SLIP-ONS

Sandals aren’t for everyone but are. They are truly the easiest to take on and off without hands, they’re comfortable, and they’re cute.
