A breathable fabric is a bonus. Sneakers should be your go-to when traveling. A casual sneaker should do the trick without weighing down your bags,\u201d says APMA Podiatrist and spokesperson Dr. Priya Parthasarathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you have to do open-toed, avoid flip-flops and do a more supportive sandal. Something thicker, with arch support and a depression in the heel. My favorite sandals for travel are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zappos.com\/birkenstock\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Birkenstocks<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"related single cf\">\n<h3 class=\"related-title\">Related:<\/h3>\n<span class=\"related-item\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartertravel.com\/white-sneakers-for-travel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The 7 Best White Sneakers for Travel<\/a><\/p><\/span>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Dr. Priya Parthasarathy tells travelers to look for the following when shoe shopping:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The shoe should not be able to fold completely in half.<\/li>\n<li>You should have some flexibility in the toes but you should not be able to have the front of the shoe touch the back of the shoe.<\/li>\n<li>It should also have a firm heel cup and should not collapse when you squeeze it.<\/li>\n<li>A bonus is a removable arch support which will allow you to slide your orthotics or additional arch support in if needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"related single cf\">\n<h3 class=\"related-title\">Related:<\/h3>\n<span class=\"related-item\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartertravel.com\/best-winter-boots\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The 30 Best Winter Boots and Shoes for Travel<\/a><\/p><\/span>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Dr. Kamran S. Hamid, an orthopedic foot and ankle surgeon for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rushortho.com\/doctors\/kamran-hamid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Loyola University Medical Center<\/a> and former team physician for the Chicago Bulls, White Sox, and Joffrey Ballet also weighed in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn general, the best shoes for traveling are those that have adequate support and are comfortable,\u201d says Dr. Hamid, going on to add that Hoka shoes are \u201ctremendously light while still providing great support and cushioning. Additionally, they have a slight curvature in the front and back of the shoe which takes some stress off of the middle of the foot for long periods of walking. These are great shoes for long-distance runners that we have repurposed for patients with foot\/ankle arthritis or pain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hokaoneone.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smartertravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/hoka-sneakers-good-fod-feet-1024x563.jpg\" alt=\"HOKA sneakers on feet (left) and woman walking dog wearing HOKA sneakers (right)\" class=\"wp-image-446277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stmllc.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/hoka-sneakers-good-fod-feet-1024x563.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stmllc.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/hoka-sneakers-good-fod-feet-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stmllc.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/hoka-sneakers-good-fod-feet-768x423.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stmllc.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/hoka-sneakers-good-fod-feet-1536x845.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/stmllc.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/hoka-sneakers-good-fod-feet-2048x1127.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"stia-image-attribute\">HOKA<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"cta-widget cwb theme-st\">\n\t\t<a class=\"cta-button-1\" href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=77778X1528779&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hokaoneone.com%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"img-container \">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"270\" height=\"106\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smartertravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-12-at-2.45.57-PM.png\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-433538\" alt=\"HOKA logo\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\">\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<span class=\"text-container\">\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"cta-button-1__text\">Shop HOKA Shoes Now<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"heading\" id=\"h-podiatrist-approved-footwear\">Podiatrist-Approved Footwear<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a podiatrist-approved shoe, Dr. Parthasarathy recommends the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"heading\" id=\"h-new-balance-fresh-more-v2\">New Balance Fresh More v2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.joesnewbalanceoutlet.com\/pd\/fresh-foam-more-v2\/WMORBP2-B-09.html?&amp;CATARGETID=172000740001189564&amp;CADevice=c&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiA4aacBhCUARIsAI55maH4yv_T9jyyY7zmXvKIskKvnIsXB-C_7fnk4-51eluaXc8w1eSyDBsaAnG9EALw_wcB&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smartertravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/new-balance-shoes-good-for-geet-1024x552.jpg\" alt=\"two views of the New Balance Fresh More v2 in teal with coral detail\" class=\"wp-image-446276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stmllc.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/new-balance-shoes-good-for-geet-1024x552.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stmllc.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/new-balance-shoes-good-for-geet-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stmllc.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/new-balance-shoes-good-for-geet-768x414.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stmllc.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/new-balance-shoes-good-for-geet-1536x828.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/stmllc.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/new-balance-shoes-good-for-geet.jpg 2036w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"stia-image-attribute\">Joe's New Balance Outlet<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joesnewbalanceoutlet.com\/pd\/fresh-foam-more-v2\/WMORBP2-B-09.html?&amp;CATARGETID=172000740001189564&amp;CADevice=c&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiA4aacBhCUARIsAI55maH4yv_T9jyyY7zmXvKIskKvnIsXB-C_7fnk4-51eluaXc8w1eSyDBsaAnG9EALw_wcB&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New Balance Fresh More v2<\/a> is flexible and lightweight, with cushioning that supports the foot and a breathable mesh upper.
