Thanksgiving kicks off a season of holiday parties in which you’re practically forced to squeeze your feet into uncomfortable party footwear for hours on end. So rather than torture yourself during the off hours as well, give your feet a little break by wearing flat, comfortable shoes on the non-party days of the season. Turkey Day is also one of the busiest travel times of the year. If you plan on taking a road trip or hopping on a plane to visit family, a comfy pair of travel shoes will ensure you reach your destination without blisters or the pained expression on your face you only get after trying Uncle Bart’s green bean casserole or hobbling around in painful footwear.
