Hey there sexy readers! As always, when I criticize, I believe in providing solutions. So here are some possible summer travel shoe solutions

#1. Tom's.
Pros: Great for comfort. Great for warmth. Great for almost being barefoot when actually wearing a proper shoe. Great for slip on slip off time in the security line.
Cons: These shoes get super sweaty and smelly. Solution - a little old fashion baby powder. Just don't be that ass who insists on taking your shoes off on the plane.

#2 - Tom's Wedge.
See above for Pros with the additional pro of a few extra tall inches and a little extra dressiness.
Cons: I own these. They cut the living hell out of my toes. I've learned the necessity of band-aiding preventativly, but who wants to do that all the time?
#3 - Gladiator Sandal
Just a terrible idea. For purposes of this blog we are going to assume that you have to buckle all these little buckles. These are Michael Kors, so I assume there's a lovely zipper up the back, thus actually making them quick to get on an off. But let's just pretend that there's no zipper and you have to buckle and unbuckle all those little buckles. Image how happy I will be behind you in the security line while you laboriously deal with your shoe choice.
Basically, please don't wear overly complicated shoes to the airport.

# 5 - Another Wedge
Hey Ali Velez, wouldn't this be perfect for my revisited coral phase? Zipper for easy on easy off. Mostly covered foot. I wouldn't, however, wear these if you have a tight connection. No one wants to see your attempts at a jog in a wedge/heel if you have to properly race through the airport to make your flight.
Yes, #5 would be perfect for a coral phase renaissance. I want them. Now. And I want a nail polish that exact color. (but not on my toes - that would be overkill)

Fearful of sounding super lesbian, I'd like to make a pitch for a sensible loafer. I have a delightful brown leather pair by M.Patrick that are my travel must. Easy on/off and a little footie/sock is invisible in the shoe yet keeps me from having to put my bare tootsie on the floor in security - gross!
