Flats for traveling- Questions regarding swapping

[cransplash]

I know you’re supposed to “swap out” a few pairs of shoes while you’re on vacation to avoid blisters, but would it be ok if you brought a few pairs of the exact same shoe but in different colors?

Just a forewarning- I am an offender of multiples…

Well wouldn't you get blisters in the same spots with the same shoes? If you're concerned about that, then I would think you would be better off with a different shoe all together.

I don't mind owning multiples of things, but for the reasons you are describing, it doesn't make sense for your trip. What about a Puma sneakerina? Its at least a different style?

Color wouldn't make a difference - the shoes still hit in the same spot and would rub in the same spot.

If you don't get blisters in general from them, not sure why you would on vacation though. Maybe if they were heels or flat sandals with no padding, but those are like tennis shoes to me.

So true- thanks for talking me out of it. I own the Puma Zandy and Sneakerina already.

What ballet flats would you recommend?

[karebear304]

No ballet flats are comfortable to me. I even hate the Lucky Emmie that gets highly recommended on here. I much prefer a flat sandal. The Kelly & Katie ones from DSW are great.

I will say that walking around Key West though my feet did start to hurt from all my flat sandals. I had to buy a pair of plain reefs.

Where are you going by the way??

I can't even remember what I wore in LA lol.

I do have a few flat sandals that are open toe that I like, but I was hoping to find a closed toe ballet flat. I love my TB Carolines but the soles are thin too and I am worried about walking a lot in them

I know my feet get super sweaty in warm climates, so I too think sandals are the way to go if you are going someplace warm, and then throw in the Pumas just in case.

I have a few pair of Born sandals- I guess I could wear those. There are very few cute Born sandals in my opinion but I do like the ones I have got. I guess I will pack those and then throw in the pair of Pumas.

I think that's the perfect plan!

ITA about Born sandals too...they are so damn comfy though, I wish they would make cuter styles! I find some of their heels cuter than their flats. For example, I really want them to make this into a flat:

LOL, ITA. Those shoes would be cute if they were flats and you know they'd be comfy being that they're a Born sandal. I have 3 pairs (tried to find the most unlike Born style), and they're super comfy. Guess I will be sticking with those!
