Packing Shoes for Traveling

Shoes are bulky items to pack in luggage. They take up a lot of room, and they have a tendency to get crushed. Here's a few quick tips for packing shoes that will save room and protect your footwear.

• Roll your socks and stuff them into the toe of your packed shoes. This will help keep the shoe intact. It also saves space.

• Place your shoes on the bottom of your suitcase or along the sides, so they don't get your clothing dirty.

• Pack only neutral shoes that go with everything, so you're not taking one pair of shoes for every outfit.

• If you're traveling on a plane, wear a pair of shoes that you can take on and off easily, as you will have to remove them at the security checkpoint.
