X-train shoes vs. walking shoes for vaca.

[darla723]

I'll be on vaca. in July and will have an opportunity to both walk on deck (a cruise) and at ports. I'll also definitely take 2 or more step classes, and maybe a pilates or yoga class. I'm still up in the air on the spinning class (don't really want a sore bum on vacation!)

I want to keep pack the fewest pairs of shoes possible (weight), so do you think it's necessary to bring both kinds of shoes, or do you think the x-trainers will be ok for walking 1 or 2 miles a day?

Thanks, guys
Doreen

A good pair of x-trainers will be fine for distances that short.

Congrats on having a fun vacation planned! I'd take the cross-trainers -- it'll be fine. I'd also take a good pair of walking sandals (like Keen or Earth) for the port-of-calls and walking on deck, and just hanging out. It can get quite hot walking those ports and your feet will appreciate a good pair of walking sandals. Have tons of fun! Deb
