If you’ve ever been city exploring, you probably know that it can be all too easy to completely mess up your feet while walking around for miles and miles. This can put a real damper on your trip if you aren’t careful, so be prepared to keep your feet protected. Don’t forget to put these three crucial foot-protective pieces of gear in your suitcase in order to ensure that your feet stay comfortable.

Orthotics

Did you know that shoes generally do not provide a sole that gives maximum protection and comfort to your feet? Since we all have different gaits and ways of walking, you will find that orthotics, an insert that gives extra support and padding to your soles, will help your feet a lot better.

Socks

A good pair of socks is also a great ally in the fight against uncomfortable feet while traveling. Take breathable ones if you are traveling to a hot place, and be sure to get a pair that’s waterproof and warm if you are traveling to a wet, cool locale.

Footwear

It almost goes without saying, but far too many people make the mistake of using footwear that is not appropriate for heavy-duty walking while on vacation. Sandals and flip-flops are a no, as are high heels and cowboy boots. Whether you want to be sporty, casual, or formal, find something that protects your feet.
