Air travel is picking up. With the holiday season upon us and more people vaccinated, travelers are booking flights to warm weather destinations or to see family members they have not been able to see because of the pandemic.

While traveling by plane, comfort is key! This includes wearing the correct footwear. You want to choose shoes that are comfortable and easy to wear. You’ll experience walking long distances, long line ups, minimal leg room among other inconveniences. Popular shoes for travelers are Leguano Barefoot Shoes. These minimalist shoes come in many different styles but in this blog, I will feature my go-to shoe for flying and why I love them so much.

Let me introduce you to the Leguano Scio, a unisex shoe that is perfect for long days of travel. (available in black, mint and rose).

Here are the 5 top reasons I choose these shoes.

1. Comfort

As I said earlier, comfort is key when traveling. These ultra-lightweight shoes are seriously so comfortable! The flexible sole and breathable woven upper allow your feet to move freely, as if you are barefoot. The shoe hugs your foot so there is no slippage or rubbing. The non-slip sole is great for slippery airport floors and when you need to pick up the pace to catch your connecting flight! Ever try running through the airport in flip flops? Not fun!

2. Slip On

The easy slip on-and-off style of the Leguano Scio is so convenient! They make passing through security much easier since you don’t have to worry about laces or zippers. When on the plane, if you must remove your shoes, you can do so easily.

     3. Wiggle Room

Because of the expandable upper and flexible sole, you can wiggle your toes. (you won’t need to remove your shoes!) The flexible soles allow you to flex and stretch your feet, ankles, and calves to increase blood circulation. This will help keep your feet warm and help to prevent swelling and blood clots post flight.

     4. Versatile and Stylish

The Leguano Scio is versatile and stylish, so once I reach my destination, they are a great option for sight-seeing, the beach, or evenings out. They are so easy to pack too! These beauties roll up into a ball and can fit into any travel or beach bag.

     5. Washable

I love a travel shoe that is machine washable! Just think of the things your shoes may encounter in an airplane bathroom!  Simply throw them in the machine on delicate with a mild detergent (no fabric softener please) and air dry. The quick drying shoes will be ready for your next adventure!

Safe travels from Leguano Barefoot Shoes.
