Africa footwear

For some reason, several people have wanted to know what I packed for my African adventure. A few people in particular have been very specific in asking about the kind of footwear I lugged here with me. When one lady e-mailed as she is about to go on safari, I decided to write a little post about the 5 pairs of shoes I brought.


1. The wear-on-the-plane-and-to-work TOMS shoe in navy. I picked it for it's comfort level (amazing), breathability and especially the elephant print inside. Perfect closed-toe shoe for very warm weather.
2. The everyday-after-work-and-even-sometimes-to-work shoe.
When I lived in Japan, I became a Birkenstock fan. Mainly because they had much nicer designs (and patent leather).

3. The if-I-ever-need-to-do-some-sort-of-physical-activity shoe. (Which has yet to happen, btw.)
4. The week-end-and-evening-and-basically-whenever shoe.
Yep, another pair. What can I say I'm a fan.

5. The it's-raining-buckets-but-I-still-want-to-wear-this-cute-dress shoe. (in black.)
It's a CROC (*gasp*). But in Africa, you need a CROC. You really do.
