The comfort of your feet can determine how pleasurable the trip will be. We all know that our feet are a gauge to how the rest of the body feels. I will give you five top shoes for traveling in terms of each step of the trip. All these shoes can be bought online or at any department store like Macy's.

First stage is what shoe to wear on the airplane. With the advent of having to take shoes off for x-ray, having a slip on shoes is preferable. The shoe brand Merrell's makes many slip-on styles that are comfortable plus fashionable. Nadia is a leather-suede shoe that comes in three neutral colors, black, brown, and taupe. It is a slip-on with an elastic band that criss-crosses the top of the foot that secures the foot in place. Merrell's are available online at their website, www.merrell.com This style is $95.00 online and roughly that amount at any shoe store. The shoe ranges in size from 5 to 11.

After checking in at a hotel another casual shoe by Merrell is the Pirouette. It is a leather tie up shoe that's a cross between a bowling shoe and Converse basketball shoe. It comes in the three neutral colors and is around $90.00 online. It also ranges in sizes from 5 to 11.

For a more dressy look for lunch or museum walking, Keen makes a casual Mary Jane shoe that comes in a variety of colors such as beet red, iguana green, yellow topaz, brindle (a taupe), and of course black. It is can be worn with pants, shorts, and even a dress. It's real cool looking and made for comfort. It is $80.00 online and range in sizes from 5.5 to 11. Online it's at www.keen.com.

If it's warm at your destination, sandals are very appropriate for walking on the beach or shopping on the boardwalk. The sandals by Merrell are very comfortable and stylist too. The primrose has an inch and half wedge heel for those who detest flats. This shoe comes in black and brown color. The ranges of sizes are from 5 to 11 but only in full sizes. This shoe can go from the walk on the beach to lunch with no problems. It is $80.00 online.

Now for the evening not all women want to wear stilettos while traveling and still want comfort, Sofft shoe brand makes comfortable and stylish high-heeled shoes for evening. They carry a 2 1/2 inch heel sandal that comes in dark brown and black. Very sexy looking shoe built for comfort. It ranges in size 6 to 11 and is $103.00 online. For those who want a higher heel Sofft has 3 ½ pumps and sandal styles. Online it's www.sofftshoe.com.

When traveling it is essential that our feet are feeling well which makes our trip more enjoyable. I have two of the Merrell's that I wear most often. It has changed from a hiking shoe company to an all around casual shoe provider. Check them out and see which one feels good on your feet.
