If there’s one thing I don’t mind splurging on a few times a year, it’s shoes! But rather than spending a fortune on a pair of glamorous heels I will barely wear, my go-tos are boots and sneakers. When it comes to travel in cooler months, you really cannot go wrong packing these three options: a bootie, a combat boot, and a great pair of stylish sneakers. All three of these will take you from day-to-night, and—short of a black-tie cocktail party—will work for most occasions wherever you are in the world. My exact western bootie in the photo is no longer available, but this is a similar style by the same brand, or choose the below similar pair for a steal at only $54.00.
