This summer I'll be spending a week to 10 days traveling through
Europe. We have no set itinerary, other than flying in and out of
Frankfurt. My sister and I will be renting a car and traveling
wherever the mood strikes.

I want to buy a pair of good walking shoes, but not a pair that will
break the bank. I looked at a local shoe store yesterday and the two
brands of shoes that seem to be just what I want (SAS and something
else) were over $120! That's WAY over my budget.

Can anyone recommend a brand that's more budget friendly, and offers
good support, etc? I'm going to get a pair far enough ahead of time
to make sure they're completely broken in before I leave.

Any other suggestions for a T2 traveling in Europe?

Thanks,

BessieBee

I read in several books on walking that it is a good practice to have at
least two pairs of shoes and switch them daily.
That way one is less likely to put pressure on the same areas of the feet
daily and the chances of getting blisters or sores from a lot of walking is
greatly reduced.
