I only packed one pair of shoes for my 7 week Europe trip. Yep, you read that correctly. Here’s how.

Last year, I was lucky enough to say bye-bye to winter and go live my Mamma Mia fantasy. If you’re wondering, yes I did make my partner sing Lay All Your Love On Me at a very crowded beach in Greece… he was not impressed.

I had fantasised about this trip for years and I knew I wanted lots of cute outfit moments which meant I had to sacrifice a bit of suitcase space, so the only rational decision was to ditch everything and only pack one pair of shoes, right? And honestly, it was the best decision I made.

I decided to pack The OG in Jane Fondant. I figured a nice neutral sandal would match everything in my case from day to night.

I also brought a pair of Thingys which I could easily add on to my shoes to dress them up for fancier occasions. And an added bonus, they don’t take up any extra room in the suitcase.

My days were filled with over 14,000 steps, and I loved every minute of it walking in my TWOOBS. They have a super squishy base that cushions your feet and makes walking along the cobblestone streets of France a breeze. The ultra soft recycled lycra material doesn’t rub, so I remained blister-free.

I wore them hiking, clubbing, and even rocked them on airplanes with a pair of socks (socks and sandals is a big yes from me).

Now, I know what you’re thinking. How did I keep my shoes looking fresh?! This is where the Blooper Booper became my best friend. This magical soap washed away all the memories of late nights dancing on tables in Spanish bars and gave my shoes new life for adventuring through little alleyways the next day. 

The Blooper Booper also doubled as my little laundry soap bar for tackling all the pasta splats and sploots that inevitably ended up on all my clothes… oopsies. I also sprayed my shoes withProtecty Stuff before jetting off, which made the shoes even easier to clean.

So if you’re looking for shoes to wear in Europe, these have officially been tried and tested, and I can confidently say TWOOBS are the perfect European summer shoe!
