Essential Guide to Summer Vacation Shoe Packing

Hi everyone – happy holiday season!

It’s summer time and we are off on vacation. To the wardrobe we venture – pull out all “necessary” shoes and then realise our shoes alone take up the whole suitcase – argh!!!!

Does this sound familiar?

Not to worry, having been asked by so many friends exactly which shoes they should pack I have come up with the following max of 5 pairs of shoes that will see you through every occasion during summer vacation:

1.  Sneakers

A  pair of converse or white high tops for every day longer distance walking.

ASOS DARCY Bow Flatform Trainers €35.21

ASOS DELICIOUS Embellished Trainers €56.34

2. Slip on sandals/ flip flops

Essential for beaches

Havaianas White Slim Flip Flops €33.80

Ted Baker Ettiea Pink Bow Jelly Flip Flops €54.93

3. Dressy sandals

In case you go out for dinner etc. Limit yourself to one pair if possible – making sure they go with whatever you plan to wear in the evenings.

4. Ballerinas

Perfect for city visits or wearing to breakfast or to alternate with your dressy sandals in the evening.

5. Water shoes

Especially if you are going to a European pebbled beach or somewhere with lots of corals or jelly fish.
