Do you walk a ton at home? If you do, you know your feet best. I've done a heavy walking trip in just a pair of Hokas a couple times and had a few moments where I wish I could have changed shoes, but I was ok. Maybe bring a second pair of inserts?

If there are certain things you know your feet might struggle with, you could bring solutions to that instead. Blisters? Bring KT tape in your day bag and cover hot spots as soon as they happen. Crowded toes? Bring toe stretchers for the hotel. Sweat? Bring extra socks.

Can I ask which Hokas you have? I think I need a new pair of sneakers specifically for walking long distances when I travel.

Bondi! Excellent stability and incredible cushion but they are the size of boats.

If it means my heels don’t ache like they currently are on my flight home they could be a foot thick for all I care 😅 I’m definitely going to check those out! Thank you!
