I’m grateful to be featured in Travel + Leisure discussing what podiatrists actually look for in travel shoes and why New Balance consistently performs well for people who spend long days on their feet.
In the article, I share a guideline I often use in practice: New Balance models numbered 800 and above typically provide the cushioning, stability, and support travelers need. We also discussed styles like the Fresh Foam 1080, which offer even more cushioning while still fitting into today’s fashion landscape.
Footwear doesn’t have to be a trade-off between comfort and appearance anymore. Travelers can find shoes that support foot health and feel current which is a balance that really matters when you’re walking miles a day.
