OldBoot Posted March 16, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 16, 2014 How many pairs do you pack? Looking forward to a 17 day Med cruise soon, followed by a short stay in Iceland. I'm having a shoe dilemma!

cb at sea Posted March 16, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Well..I do warm weather cruises, so I have no real need for anything but flip-flops, casual sandals, and evening shoes....I bring as many pair for evening as I need....usually 2-3 pair. Even when strolling thru towns, I'll wear either flip-flops or sandals....I don't do "walking shoes"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suefranss Posted March 16, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I suppose it depends upon whether you have any "formal" events. We cruise with Oceania, which is "country club casual" (no formal), so I travel with a nice pair of sandals for evening, a closed-toe walking shoe, and two pair casual sandals. I have to strongly resist the urge to pack more, but these four usually do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CELTICGIRLCRUISER Posted March 16, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 16, 2014 At least in double figures and some for me, pair to match every outfit day and night:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanineM Posted March 16, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Let's see - for a multi climate cruise - Runners dress shoes x 2 Walking shoes (for shore excursions) x 2 Sandals for on the ship Shoes for casual evenings on the ship Slippers if it could be cold in the cabin = about 8?

RedHeadTexan Posted March 16, 2014 #6 Share Posted March 16, 2014 If I am flying to port then it's a total of 4 pairs. Biggest and heaviest on my feet, and three pairs packed. The three pairs will be one casual, one dressy flat, and flip flops. Wearing a size 10 shoe limits the number when flying...take up too much space. If we are driving to port, then I am in the double digits. Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehpride Posted March 16, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I would say 7-8 for a 7 night cruise and 2 nights in the embarkation city. 2 pairs of flip flops Black dress sandals Silver dress sandals Espadrilles 2 pairs of flat sandals My closed toed walking sandals if I'm going to be doing something where I need them I may bring my running shoes this time.

hansolosmom Posted March 16, 2014 #8 Share Posted March 16, 2014 When we did the Med last year I took 4 pairs - 2 sandals I could either walk in or use for dinner, 1 pair flip flops, 1 pair light sneakers ( they were Easy Spirit from the travel collection) additionally I wore a pair of walking slip ons ( another set of easy spirit but more like sneakers) on the plane. I can't wear heels, so the sandals were great multi-purpose shoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MollyFlyer Posted March 17, 2014 #9 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Boots, sandals, evening shoes, and sneakers because I plan on hitting the gym at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldBoot Posted March 17, 2014 Author #10 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I knew I wasn't the only one with cruise-shoes planning ideas. Thanks everyone. I will no longer feel guilty about the shoe luggage. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5326jan Posted March 17, 2014 #11 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Similar problem going to the Norwegian Fjords and Arctic Circle. I plan to take one pair of flat dressy-ish dinner shoes, and several pairs of rubber soled walking shoes.... one of which is water resistant. I toyed with the idea of taking ankle boots for warmth and comfort, but just can't wrap my mind around wearing boots in the summer. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clr315 Posted March 17, 2014 #12 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Shoes equal weight in my luggage when flying to port so this is always a problem but I try to do one pair of flip flops for the pool, sneakers, teva walking sandals, another nuetral color flat sandal and a neutral sandal with heels for formal nights. But then I end up throwing in one more flip flop and another dress shoe and a ballet flat if I have extra weight lol.

Sent from my iPad using Forums I found some great sneakers that weigh less than 6oz!!! They are BZEE's by naturalizer and come in many styles and colors, all with low weight.

mousey Posted March 17, 2014 #15 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Our cruises are mostly warm weather ones for which I take the following: 1 pr. flip flops for pool and to use as slippers in the bathroom and cabin. 1 pair kicks for any excursion that requires closed-toed shoes and for the gym. 4-5 pr casual sandals 2-3 pr dress sandals 1 pr water shoes If I'm flying, I wear my kicks, if driving, a pair of sandals.
