Shoes are always a tricky subject when you are packing for a vacation, because a lot of people want to have different shoes for a variety of clothing they can wear. But a lot of travelers have learned that shoes take up a lot of space in your suitcase. So what many of them do is they'll have one pair of dress shoes, or one pair of casual shoes, and maybe a pair of tennis shoes. Depending on where they're going, if it's a resort maybe they'll have a pair of sandas, which typically don't take up that much space, and then a main pair of casual shoes and tennis shoes in case they want to work out. And the good thing is that when you're traveling you're already wearing a pair of shoes. So think of those shoes on your feet as something you're going to wear throughout your trip, and maybe have one additional pair in your bag so youu're not taking up too much space.
