Quick On And Off Shoes Ideal For Travelling Through Airports

 I have two favourite types of shoes for travelling. I mostly wear sandals which have hook and loop (Velcro or touch and close). You can take them off fast. 

I have to take them off at security. Put them in the box which x-rays them. Or remove them when something goes ping because of a meal buckle on my sandals, belt, or bra.

You can put them back on fast. They expand when your feet swell in the heat when going for a summer holiday. Or when your feet shrink, you can tighten.

Synthetic Sandals For Travel

Shein shoes.


Now I have added another type of shoe. Crocs, and similar 2 Surf.  My latest are YY162 from Shein, in red, with a black motif in the centre front. The same flexible bar which goes forward to allow instant on-off,. Alternatively behind your ankle, for more security.

My review

The shoes are slightly smaller than size 4 from brands Croc and 2Surf. Also a more rounded toe. The advantage is that they look more elegant. My husband thought my other similar shoes were clompy. He did not say that about these, just, 'that's the style you like!'

As a travelling shoe, they have the advantage that you can wear them on the beach. Protect your feet from hot sand. Keep at bay anything you might tread on in the sand or water's edge.

In the bedroom 

In the bedroom the footwear protects your toes. The shoes or sandals, or slippers, whatever you like to call them, save you from kicking the bedpost, which could be wooden or metal. 

Incidentally, what the British call slippers are soft shoes for wearing indoors. They are either backless or enclosed. They can be as high as ankle boots, so long as they are soft and slip on and off fast. 

Indians, however, say slippers for any indoor or outdoor shoe which slips on, including plastic type backless and toeless sandals which the British call flip-flops. (Australians call them thongs) .

In Restaurants

 So, synthetic sandals are good because, unlike organic, leather, are safe from disintegrating in water. What kind of water? The rain, or puddles, or the seashore. 

The bulky toe protection also helps when you kick your feet out against table legs and table central support pillars in restaurants.
