A bit about travel footwear. I have researched and tested this dilemma at length. I was blessed (ha) with flat feet. This requires that I choose my footwear carefully. My goal when traveling is to walk everywhere possible, for as long as possible.
Enter Ecco footwear. I was able to hoof it through Italy for 21 days with these babies.
They were great for support and comfort. An added bonus is that they do not look like typical American sneakers, as they are a European brand.
