It's not always easy to pick the right shoe for vacation this summer. Keeping your feet healthy and comfy is extremely important when heading out on vacation.  Of course for some, you want to be stylish as well.  There's no doubt about it, there is a ton of walking in places like Walt Disney World or any other amusement park you may head to this summer.  Majority of your trip will most likely be spent on your feet.  Therefore, it is important to make sure you have good shoes to keep you going.   

My number one suggestion for comfortable shoes is gym shoes.  They're supportive around the ankle, arch and heel.  If you like your gym shoes and they work for you definitely pick those.  Make sure your gym shoes are not too worn out.  You should replace your gym shoes after about 300-500 miles.  Having a good pair of gym shoes will help ensure that you can last the whole day at any park.  If you have them, bring two pairs of a different color.  Perhaps a white or black pair and a crazy fun pair.  That way you can match or spice up your outfit.  

Some people are huge fans of flip flops, especially when heading to a warm weather area like Florida.  If you are going to choose to wear flip flops for any reason (they keep you feeling cool or they match your outfit) pick a pair with arch support.  You don't want knee or arch pain ruining your day.  Also, be sure that you have worn your flip flops before.  You want to make sure that you have no blisters sneaking up on you.  My favorite pair of flip flops this summer has been FitFlops.  (We'll talk about the "Fit" part of it some other time.  If you have a pair how do you like them?) They are gaining buzz all over the place these days.  They have great cushion and feel much more supportive than the average flip flop.  I wore them this past week on vacation with a full day at the parks and my feet felt great! They also come in a wide variety of colors.  They have sporty, trendy and dressy styles.  I have found them at Londo Mondo and Nordstrom Rack in Chicago.  

Have another pair of shoes that you love to wear on vacation? Let me know! 

Have a fun and fit day, Chicago.
