The Foldable Flats - Splurge

Sick of having to grin and bear it when your shoes give out from too much touring? These foldable flats are the perfect solution and will take up less room than a T-shirt. Just tuck them in your bag before you head out for the day. They'll come in handy whenever you need a quick change of shoes.

Splurge: CitySlips

Price: $24.95

Why We Like it: Slip in to CitySlips on the plane for comfort, pack them as an alternative to wearing your hiking boots out on the town, or just use them when you need a break from high heels. These ballet flats, which come in a variety of colors and patterns, fold up small but still have a solid split sole, making them sturdy enough for the walk back to your hotel.
