Famous Footwear: Relief for Vacation Feet!
When I packed for Chicago recently, I made one grave mistake…I packed shoes with fashion in mind more than comfort. When I returned to Texas, my dogs were barking! I am the first to admit that you can find shoes which fulfill both needs…fashion and comfort. I just did not take that into consideration when packing. FAMOUS FOOTWEAR, a leading footwear retailer with over 1,000 stores nation-wide plus a large stock at Famous.com, carries all of my favorite beautiful-comfort brands such as boc (Born Concept), Aerosoles, Dr. Scholls, Lifestride, and Naturalizer.
Famous Footwear recently sent me the beautiful CHAMPAGNE LEATHER SANDALS BY b.o.c BY BORN I am wearing in the picture above (so wish I had had them in Chicago) and also sent along these thoughts for vacation footwear:
“For starters, when packing for yourself and the rest of the family, think about practicality and efficiency. This helps you look great without a ton of luggage!
If you’re planning a vacation, you’ll want to consider bringing one pair of vacation shoes in each of these categories:
– Sneakers for hiking, biking or heavy walking days
– Flip-flops for the beach or pool
– Versatile flats for shopping and sightseeing
– Dressy shoes which are still comfortable
When thinking about all family members:
-boys can get away with fewer pairs of shoes — perhaps just sneakers and flip-flops, depending on if your evenings will be dressy or not
-Men and girls can sometimes consolidate the last two categories into one”
This helped me…I will prepare better next time…especially if visiting a city like Chicago where heavy walking is required. Check out their summer line HERE.
Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone!!
the Born brand is so comfy and they can be very stylish

I wear my Easy Spirit shoes everywhere when I travel. Most comfortable walking shoes ever.
PS) I pay $85 a pair and they are worth every penny.
For summertime travel I always wear my Birkenstocks. They are opened toed to they let my feet breath, super comfy, and now come in some great styles.
I made the same mistake in New York last year, took a pair of hi-tops that weren't very supportive & after pounding the streets for days on end my feet were killing me.
Also try Dansko and Beautifeel Shoes – my mainstays.
I LOVE LOVE my crocs (not those ugly chunky ones)!
OOOO–these are some super cute shoes–i need to check them out!!
Love these Pam!
Some of the comfort brands have become very chic & stylish and so no need to always buy couture!

Hi Pam,
