Sporting brands like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2XVLXgP\">Converse<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2SnOwad\">Superga<\/a>\u00a0(with styles for men and women) will never have you regretting your footwear during travel. These low-cut, comfy shoes match with any outfit from long skirts to jeans to leggings. The canvas material makes them breathable and flexible, so you don\u2019t have to worry about feeling too hot or getting blisters. The only downside to this style of shoe is the laces, which means you\u2019ve got to take a few extra seconds to untie and retie your shoes when you\u2019re going through security.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"balletflats\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2JK72pz\">Ballet flats<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2JK72pz\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16384\" src=\"https:\/\/dailyovation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screen-Shot-2019-06-23-at-10.13.53-AM-300x217.png\" alt=\"ballet-flat-dailyovation\" width=\"500\" height=\"362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailyovation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screen-Shot-2019-06-23-at-10.13.53-AM-300x217.png 300w, https:\/\/dailyovation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screen-Shot-2019-06-23-at-10.13.53-AM.png 515w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Whenever I see any woman stomping through the airport in high heels, I always wonder what in the world she was thinking when she put them on. To me, it seems like complete torture having to wobble down long corridors and cautiously clamor up escalators without getting the heel stuck in the grooves. Bottom line: high heels have got to be one of the worst footwear choices when it comes to flying.<\/p>\n<p>I understand some people may need to dress up if they\u2019re flying for business. But there\u2019s still no need for traveling in heels. Instead, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2JK72pz\">choose a pair of stylish ballet flats<\/a> which can be easily changed out for the more business-appropriate footwear once you reach your destination. Flats are the easiest shoes to take on and off, making them ideal for security checks. They are also some of the best slip-on, slip-off shoes as they don\u2019t have any laces, clasps, or zippers. Sometimes walking long distances in ballet flats will have the bottom of your foot aching, so just make sure to pick a pair that have a cushion-y sole. Additionally, they\u2019re lightweight and flexible, so you can easily take them off and stuff them into your purse or hand luggage if you need to change upon arrival. Just don\u2019t forget a pair of low-slung socks for the plane to keep your toes warm.

Women who are looking for something a little more supportive and sportier may opt for this style, too. Slip-on shoes are easy to take on and off as there\u2019s no laces to contend with. They\u2019re also flexible, breathable, and lightweight, making them an easy choice for long airplane rides.<\/p>\n<p>For guys, try\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/32yaAUk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Converse\u2019s slip-on<\/a>\u00a0style for easy-on, easy-off shoes that still look cool.

Sneakers are always a great fallback plan. I love wearing my running shoes for flying because the material is thick enough to keep my feet warm during the chilly flight, they\u2019re roomie without lacking support, and there\u2019s enough cushion on the soles to ensure I can walk for miles without feeling the pain.
