TL;DR Please fill out this Google survey to share your must-have travel footwear picks for an upcoming story. We appreciate your input!

This summer, we’re stepping out. Literally. Having been cooped up in our cribs for well over twelve months, the wanderlust is stronger than ever. Yep, fully vaccinated people can travel more safely within the United States and here's hoping Canada isn't too far behind with how the vaccine rollout is currently going, so we’re about ready to dip our toes into a vacation (or two). Or at least start daydreaming about one in the coming months. And now that the toes are out, the age-old debate on what shoes to wear to the airport and exactly how many kicks a person actually needs to pack along is back. Ah, it's sweet relief to dwell on the lighter spectrum of life conundrums — shoes.

In the Before Times, the topic of what shoes to slide through security in and exactly how many should be jammed into a suitcase were hot topics in the R29 comments section as well as Reddit style forums and the like. Well, we're here to light this debate back on fire, but this time with a little help from our friends — you. To get us all excited and well-prepared to jump back in the saddle again, we're asking as many people as possible about their traveling shoe style. If you've got opinions or even better, a hot tip on a trusty pair of shoes that never let you down, we want to know! Please take a few minutes to complete our Google survey and share your must-have travel footwear picks.

We’ll be updating this story as your responses roll in, but for now, read on to see how our shopping editors stay light on their feet while in transit. Think we're crazy for some of our choices? Take it out in the survey! We want to hear what you've got for travel shoe recs.
