Packable Shoes For Business Trips

Business trips punish feet with long days and formal settings. A packable shoe that looks polished while staying comfortable is the whole game.

The goal is a pair that folds into your bag for the evening walk but still looks clean enough for a meeting. Leather looks right, knit packs better.

• Choose a dark leather or coated upper that reads as formal.
• Look for a cushioned insole you can wear all day.
• Pick a low profile sole that works with trousers.
• Carry a second packable pair for evening walks.

I keep one polished pair for the meetings and one packable pair for everything else. It keeps the luggage light and the feet ready for a long day of handshakes.
