Give Your Feet a Break

best travel shoes for womenOn our small group tours to Europe with The Traveling Professor, we walk around the streets of Rome, Venice, Paris, Oslo, and other cities.   I wouldn't classify any of our city tours with the hiking we do in Machu Picchu, but we can do several miles a day while traveling to Europe.  At the end of the day, usually the only complaint anyone has is sore feet.  It has taken me a few years to find the solution to that problem, but I think I have.  Take a look at my blog post to find the best travel shoes for women.  And of course, we look at the best travel shoes for men.  Read the travel blog post - your feet will thank you.
