Hotter Women's Tourist Ii Wide Wedge Sandal

Product Information

For the more extreme, and for those who like to push it further, there are the open-type hiking sandals; the sort which are based on hiking boots, but which have many open slits and panels for breathability. These may not be “stylish” but the type of sandal they perfectly suit the intended use, that’s for sure.

It’s certainly a hot topic on our Style and Beauty forum each year. Take this Mumsnetter who laments: “I really struggle to find comfy sandals that don't end up rubbing my feet in various places after an hour or so, leading to blisters and whatnot.” It may be obvious, but what you want to use your new travel sandals for is the – possibly – most crucial part of how you are really going to make your choice. They’ve been designed to be used throughout the day, with a squashy rubber sole that has more grip than your average slippy sandal. The straps, too, are adjustable around the heel, top of the foot and toes, which means you can get the fit just right. Some of the shoes on our list even come with odor control, which is usually only an element of the more closed-in style of travel sandal; however, if foot odor is a problem for you, then you may want to consider sandals that include this neat feature. It can be confusing and very annoying. For most travelers, one pair of shoes and one pair of sandals is the norm.The rugged outside is there to ensure excellent traction, even in damp and wet conditions, and the traditional fishermen-style closed-toe design will protect your feet from pebbles and stones. Sandals, sliders, and slip-on summer shoes should all be super lightweight and make you feel like you are walking on air. Leave your heavy hiking boots at home and opt for sandals with EVA, cork, or rubber soles and durable fabric uppers to ensure that they give you that authentic barefoot feeling in the sun.

Whether you need a travel sandal for hiking that will feel like a comfy and sturdy extension of your own foot, or if you are looking for something that is more tailored to a vacation rather than an adventure in the wilderness, you’re bound to find something on our list that will suit you.They may rub, cause your feet to ache, or slip out of the straps – we’ve all been there and had an uncomfortable pair of shoes. It can totally ruin your trip, let alone your day.
