Introduction
Everyone has their own style, but when it comes to traveling, comfort is paramount. You want to be able to walk around easily and not get tired or sore after a long day of travel. Here are some tips for what clothing and shoes you should wear at the airport:
Sneakers are a great choice for travel shoes.
Sneakers are a great choice for travel shoes. They’re easy to pack, easy to put on and take off, and you can wear them through the airport without feeling like you look silly. If you’re flying with a carry-on bag, then sneakers are absolutely appropriate for wearing right up until the gate—no need to change into your running shoes or loafers just yet!
Avoid heels and wedges.
If you’re traveling for work, it’s likely that you’ll be going on a plane and checking your luggage. That means that heels are out of the question—there’s a good chance you’ll be wearing flats or sneakers. If you want something more stylish than an everyday sneaker (or maybe just don’t have time to switch into your sneakers), then go with a pair of flat booties or oxfords instead.
Another thing to consider is whether or not your shoes have thick heels, like wedges or even some stilettos. While these types of shoes can look great when worn on the right outfit, they’re not recommended for airports because they’re less stable than other types and might result in slipping on wet surfaces or other hazards such as ice patches.
Wear supportive socks.
- Wear supportive socks. A good pair of socks can make all the difference between a long day on your feet and a short one. The right socks can support your feet and prevent blisters, while the wrong ones will make you miserable.
- Avoid cotton socks. Cotton is great for keeping your feet cool in warm weather, but it’s not supportive enough to be comfortable when standing for long periods at the airport (which are typically cold inside). Your best bet is to wear wool or synthetic materials that keep you warm but don’t overheat as easily as cotton does.
Avoid shoes that tie more than once.
Avoid shoes that tie more than once. Shoes that tie more than once (like slip-on shoes) are a big no-no because they can be accidentally tied too tightly and cause discomfort or even injury to your feet. To avoid this, look for slip-on shoes with a large opening at the top that allows you to easily slide your foot in and out of the shoe. For example, check out our selection of loafers!
If you’re an avid shopper who likes to switch up their look often, consider buying two pairs of similar color schemes but different styles: one pair to wear on regular days and another pair for more formal events—this way your outfit will always match but stay fresh without being boring!
If you get cold, wear slip-on shoes with socks.
If you get cold, slip-on shoes with socks are the way to go. It’s easy to take off your shoes and put them back on when you’re at the airport, and they’ll keep your feet warm.
Flat sandals are not a good idea.
I know you think your flat sandals are the cutest and most comfortable things in the world. They’re not! Don’t wear them—not even at the airport.
Airport floors are made of concrete, which is hard on your feet when you’re walking around for hours at a time. If you don’t have good arch support, it can cause pain in your feet as well as ankle problems. Flat sandals might be cute, but they won’t make up for all that pain later on down the road.
If you insist on wearing a pair of flats, make sure they have a thick sole and are made of leather or other durable material that will keep your toes safe from blisters. Otherwise, consider wearing sneakers or boots instead.
Finally: DO NOT WEAR FLIP FLOPS!
Wear clothing with a high cotton blend or elastane.
You should also be sure to wear clothing that is made from cotton or another natural fabric. Cotton is a great choice for clothing because it breathes well and can help prevent heat rash, which can be caused by sweating. If you have sensitive skin or are prone to heat rashes, then you may want to only use clothing that is at least 50% cotton.
Elastane is another popular synthetic fiber used in athletic clothing because it helps the fabric stretch without losing its shape. You’ll often see elastane blended with other materials in sports bras and yoga pants where there needs to be flexibility but also support.
When it comes to travel, comfort is paramount.
When it comes to travel, comfort is paramount. You’ll be on your feet for hours at a time and the last thing you want is a blister forming or blisters already present from walking around all day. Of course, there’s also the issue of making sure shoes are appropriate for “smart casual” attire at many airports worldwide, but that’s another topic altogether.
To make sure your shoes are airport-appropriate and comfortable, follow these tips:
- Don’t wear uncomfortable shoes! If they aren’t comfortable now before you get to the airport, they won’t magically become more comfortable once you start walking around in them all day.
- Don’t wear shoes that are too tight or too loose in any way—sadly this means many high heels will have to stay behind with their close cousins (the stilettos). Instead, try flats! They’re both practical and stylish—and they’re more likely than any other shoe type to feel good on your feet throughout an entire day of traveling without needing breaks every hour or so just because they’ve been causing pain since 3 am when you first put them on before bedtime thinking about how much fun it would be wearing them during this whole trip only now realizing OMG WHY DIDN’T I TRY THEM OUT FIRST?!?
Conclusion
