Shoe Friendly Suitcases get your favorite Footwear from A to B Safely!
It’s almost spring and you can probably tell that I’ve got the travel bug, that is, when I’m not complaining about mud! I am currently planning three trips to get me through the rest of the season. And, I’m always thinking of ways to make travel with shoes easier, cleaner and more possible. Honestly, the more shoes I can pack with me, the happier everyone is, and I can’t bring my shoe rack with me, now, can I.
While dress shoes and sandals can be lumped in with the rest of my wardrobe (I literally stuff them in and around the clothes after they are in there to see how many I can fit), for most trips, a pair of walking or hiking shoes is a must have. But, not only are these types of “athletic” shoes bulky (I could probably fit three pairs of sandals in the same space that they take up), they are also muddy and messy…at least they will be after hiking through the Alps, changing flat tires in the plains states and rock climbing in Colorado. So, to make things work, I’ve been looking for a suitcase that deals with these problems. When shoes get really dirty, they can’t go in the suitcase with the clothes, or they will cause stains at the worst time, when I’m away from my tried and true washing machine.
The Heys USA 3 piece luggage set has some incorporated some great designs to help with this troublesome problem. These cases have removable wet pockets, great for wet socks and other items, and they even have a separate shoe compartment. Well it can’t get any easier than that, and this is really nice luggage, too. It is waterproof, great for adventurous travelers, and it has my favorite new luggage feature: wheels! Wheeling your luggage around the airport is a thousand times easier than carrying it on you back and shoulders.

What great shoe packing tips. I myself always pack my flip flops in padded envelopes, the type that businesses use to send files. That way, if I find more flip flops on my travels, I simply address the envelopes with my old shoes back home, and send them back to my house.
