Todays FWP: Do I wear the new shoes for the first time on travel day or do I pack them in my suitcase?

Posted by ty97 Sep 6 '13, 07:50

If packed they will get all squished. But since I have worn them yet, breaking them in while flying walking through airports and flying long distance could be uncomfortable.

(Option 3: "Win lottery, employer shoe breaker-in" is not viable at this time)

I'm starting to get the suspicion that whatever you decide, the particulars of your shoes will prove to be vitally important - prayformojo Sep 6, 08:07
You're high if you're even thinking about wearing the new shoes. -- nm - spamlet Sep 6, 08:05
travel is uncomfortable enough with broken in shoes....nm - x Sep 6, 07:53

      - I've never seen him dressed up in a suit, only casual. But for some reason I thought he was trying to break in shoes for work - Krusty Sep 6, 08:06 1
        
        me too. I was imagining something leather filling with blood at heathrow. -- nm - mafic Sep 6, 08:14

Yeah, all that standing during the flight would be problematic. -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 07:52 2
- Obvs I'll ditch the shoes on the plane in favor of the slippers the airline provides. BUT - ty97 Sep 6, 07:53 1
  - That is the way I prefer to break shoes in. A few bursts of long walking with breaks in between. - Spawn Sep 6, 07:57
Pack them. Be comfortable while you travel and you also don't need them possibly adding an annoyance to your trip. -- nm - Krusty Sep 6, 07:52
