When it comes to planning for a trip, one of the more difficult aspects is figuring out what to pack. While it would be nice if you could pack our entire wardrobe, you're probably going to be limited to only a bag or two. This means you have to be careful when choosing what you bring, especially more bulky items -- like shoes. So if you're struggling to figure out which shoes to bring on your trip, ask yourself the following questions.


What's the Weather Going to Be Like?

One of the first things you should think about when deciding on which shoes to bring is the weather. If you're going to be wandering around the 597 square miles of Oahu, you probably don't need your winter boots. But you should always check the weather when you're packing for a trip. If it's going to be sunny the whole time, you could most likely do without any boots or heavier shoes, especially if you want to keep your feet cool. But if the weather calls for rain or snow, you need to bring some warmer shoes. Making sure you have the right shoes for the weather will help keep you comfortable.

Which Activities Are You Going to Be Doing?

Another factor to consider is the kind of activities you're going to be doing on your trip. If you're going to be doing a lot of hiking, walking around, and other excursions that require durable shoes, then make sure you plan accordingly -- bring a pair of hiking boots or shoes and maybe a pair of durable water shoes if you're going to be doing something like climbing waterfalls. Or if you're one of the 58 million people who go to the gym every year and plan to workout on your trip, make sure you bring your gym shoes. On the other hand, if you're going to an all-inclusive resort and don't plan on leaving the pool area, you could probably do with some nice sandals and maybe some dressier shoes for dinner. All in all, thinking about what you're going to be doing on your trip will help you decide which shoes you need.

Which Shoes Are Most Comfortable?

In the end, comfort should always be the main priority when choosing shoes. Whether you're planning on walking along the 3,000 miles of coastline in Ireland or just to the pool from your hotel room, there's nothing that can ruin a fun trip like sore feet. So choose shoes that will keep your feet a comfortable temperature, won't give you blisters, and aren't painful to walk in. In doing this, you can ensure sore feet will be the last thing on your mind, allowing you to truly enjoy your trip.
It's important to bring the right shoes for your specific vacation. So consider the weather and the kind of activities you're doing to ensure you have the best shoes to keep you comfortable throughout the trip.
