I recently bought a pair of slip-resistant shoes. They are low-cut canvas sneakers that bear a resemblance to Chuck Taylors. I like them for how you can wear them on and off work and not feel out of place but most importantly the shoes provide stability and comfort – two things you need when travelling.  

The big deal-maker for this kind of footwear, however, is the treaded out sole, which is designed to repel moisture, water, and oil. With this kind of technology, you won’t be limited to walking on just paved surfaces and, therefore, you will be able to go off the trail for much deeper exploration.

Because slip-resistant footwear was designed for work in the kitchen and being on your feet at all times, these shoes come with a padded insole. This padding is crucial for travel and all the walking involved.

There are some things to consider, however. First is style. Because of a changing global workforce, one that is starting to see more and more trendy millennials, slip-resistant footwear has gotten much better looking than its very basic predecessors. There are many websites that will help you find your ideal shoe. ShoesForCrews.com and Suregripfootwear.com are excellent places to start. Of course, it is important to consider more than whether or not a shoe looks stylish. Where you are traveling to and the kinds of activities that you will be doing should also be considered. In the end, only you can determine if you’ll be okay with a pair of basic sneakers or will need something much more sturdy, such as a thick pair of boots.
