You’re packed. And, your suitcase weighs a ton. What do you have in there? It may be your shoes.
Think about how much each pair of shoes weighs before you pack them. Do you really need more than two or three pairs? Do you really think you’ll wear both pairs of boots?
Check out travel outfitters if you need new shoes for traveling. Typically, they work with companies to offer lightweight but durable brands.
If you really need to bring a pair that is heavy, think about wearing them on the plane and pack the lighter pair. Just make sure they aren’t a pain to take off in the security line.
