After almost a year of living life indoors, it is perhaps time to revise all the travel essentials that were once at the tip of our tongues. From where to go, what to keep in mind while travelling in the COVID world to the things to pack, it is a good idea to make a list before venturing out for that much-needed vacation. But while we are all very mindful of passports and clothes to buy and pack for any travels, we often don’t pay attention when it comes to the number and kind of shoes to pack. Now, in the current situation as shopping is mostly done online, and rightly so, to avoid crowds and places, today I’m going to talk about the things to keep in mind while buying travelling shoes online.

6 Things To Keep In Mind While Buying Travelling Shoes Online

Know your shoe size

I think it is a given. If you are shopping online, you need to be sure about your measurements. If not, it will only result in a cycle of returns or cancellations. Hence, anytime you decide to buy shoes via the internet make sure you know your shoe size to the t or rather the toe!

Buy from reputed sellers

There are many sellers online, more than you can imagine. But if you are going to invest your money in buying shoes online or anything for that matter make sure it is from a trusted brand so that you don’t end up with an unsatisfactory shoe while on your travel.

Check the return/exchange policy

Even if you know your shoe size, it might happen that the shoe you order might not fit you properly or you might find it uncomfortable. Hence, it is always a good idea to check the return and exchange policies while buying shoes online. 

Buy shoes per the place you are visiting

I remember once being in Kodaikanal without the right shoes. Imagine the discomfort in walking the mountainous trails with shoes that were not at all apt. Hence, choose your shoes online depending on the place you are visiting and the weather there.

Buy comfortable shoes

Comfort should be your topmost priority while buying anything especially shoes. If you are not comfortable you won’t be able to enjoy travelling. Hence, when you are purchasing a shoe online, make sure it doesn’t make you uncomfortable.

Avoid last-minute purchases

It is always good to break into a new shoe before going off for a vacation. You don’t want to be stuck with a shoe bite when you are out travelling. Hence, it is always prudent to buy your shoes online at least a few days before your planned travel so that you have ample time to get comfortable in them or find an alternative if not.

Well, these are the 6 things that I feel everyone must keep in mind while buying shoes online. What do you think? Do you have any more tips to add here? Let me know.
