I take it a step further, however, and I now pack with only a carry-on. If I can do a year out of one suitcase, any trip that is under 14 days doesn’t need luggage that large! I love having just a carry-on–it saves me time in the airport, it saves me money, and it helps me feel more organized and put together.

Only Choose Pairs Of Shoes That You Can Actually Walk Two Miles In
The most important test for the shoes that you’ll bring on a trip is this: can you comfortably walk two miles in them? If you can, great! They are a contender. This is especially important if you are visiting any large city where you’ll be spending hours on end on your feet. Do you really want to be taking in the Statue of David if your feet are blistering and sore? Would your bucket-list dinner with an unobstructed view of the Acropolis really be worth it if you were in intense pain from walking all day? Nope. I didn’t think so.
View this post on InstagramOther shoes that I’ve found comfortable versions of are ballet flats and sandals. For ballet flats, you’re going to want to look for brands that offer a thicker sole that is padded, especially around the arch. Make sure to break them in before your big trip to avoid any blisters. I love brands like Vivaia and Sketchers for supportive ballet flats. As for sandals, I have three brands that have never let me down: Crocs, Birkenstock and Teva. All three offer very different styles, but are comfortable enough to walk long distances in and visit the beach in. A win, win.
Make Sure Each Pair Of Shoes Can Be Worn With Most Of Your Clothing
Besides having to walk comfortably in your chosen pairs of choose for 2 miles, they must also fit another criteria: match (almost) all of the clothing that you packed. There’s a way to keep this incredibly simple. Only buy shoes with neutral colors, that way, they can always be mixed and matched with your wardrobe.

To sum it up: pick a pair of shoes that you could comfortably walk two miles in and also matches your wardrobe. If you achieve that, they won’t be a useless pair of shoes that ends up taking up precious room in your carry-on.
