It was in 2004 and we (family), were on a temple visit to Ahobilam (Andhra Pradesh). I remember wearing bright pink heels to the travel as I thought it would go well with all my traditional salwars. The heels were pointed and were not very comfortable for long journeys.
Suddenly, the guide there, told us that we could trek the hills of Ahobilam and discover the sites where the demon king Kashyap was killed. All our family members got ready to climb the steep hills and I too, scaringly, agreed. We took off from the foot of the hills, the rocks were slippery due to waterfall and algae growth. All my cousins seemed so far away like as though they have reached the end point.
I hurried, I wanted to run but my heels almost killed me and that was when I realised that fashion isn't everything and what matters the most in travel is comfort. From then on, the first thing I do is plan my footwear for the place we are to visit. Here are some travel fashion tips exclusively for footwear.
Travel Fashion Tips For Footwear
1. Flip Flops: You may not be informed about these sudden travel plans so always carry simple flip flops. They are cheapest, light weight and can even serve as beach/bathroom slippers. Flip Flop make you look cool and casual.
2. Floaters: I still remember my Nike ACGs, they were, by far, the most comfortable for summer treks. They also look good with sock and are quite gripping. Floaters give you a rough, gutsy, casual and tom boy look.
3. Shoes: Prefer sneakers as they go well with clothes. They are stylish, light and give you a youth look. Sport shoes are also the hot choices for travel. Shoes are versatile for winter as they are practical and travel friendly. For women flat shoes are a perfect choice.
What's In? It is hard to carry matching shoes for every outfit and the best fashion tip for this would be to match your dress with the 'shoe lace' colours. In Germany, I found the youth matching their clothes with different coloured shoe lace for winter, trust me, it is the coolest in thing for now (specially the flourescent colours).
4. Heels: Even if you like to wear heels, prefer shorter platforms and heels. You, then, do not feel very elevated or as though you are straining foot too much. They are good for beach parties and holy visits.
Remember, a 'happy feet' can keep you happy all your travel and simple mistakes like I did can spoil all the fun and excitement you dreamt from long.
