Hands Free Travel Shoes for All Ages

Kizik shoes (this is the Prague model) are so comfortable that you won’t want to slip them off once you get to your hotel. Photo c. Ron Bozman / RKR Media.

The Kizik line of shoes slip on and off hands-free, a blessing for anyone forced to go through TSA without Pre-Check. How does handsfree work when each model has laces and a full profile? “Kizik shoes feature a patented heel design,” explains their PR firm. Slip your toes in and the heel compresses so you can slide your foot under the laces. Press down and the heel springs back into its supportive place. It works! These casual shoes look pretty great, too. Different uppers range from leather (more of a business look) to elasticized fabric (sneaker time.) Other pluses: Enough innersole support to be museum-worthy, very comfy for wider feet, lightweight for travel. Kiziks come in several colors, have EE widths for men and women, and come in children’s models too. From $99; kids sizes from $69.

    You’ve been under lockdown all spring, and summer is finally here. But it’s a COVID-19 summer, and it likely won’t look like any other in modern history. Still, the wanderlust is strong.“People want to travel. It’s a wonderful part of life.If you’re thinking about traveling later this summer, factor in the possibility that your destination may face a new outbreak before you arrive. You can make your plans now for a destination that appears to be relatively safe, but it may not be safe two to three weeks later.

    this is touristy. But there’s a good reason for that. Soar to the top of the Rockefeller Center via an elevator to take in the views at its observatory, Top of the Rock. You’ll be able to take in the many lights of the city from above, including a red-and-green Empire State Building.

    “This is entirely due to airlines reducing space between rows and squeezing passengers into smaller and smaller seats, so small that there is now no longer room for a service animal on some planes,” the NDRN said. “Cramped space on planes is a nuisance to all travelers, but it now prevents some people from traveling at all.”

    Belgium forbade all international travel early in the pandemic, according to the United States Embassy in Belgium. Any travelers who are permitted entry (there are strict restrictions) must self-quarantine for 14 days. The country started easing its strict lockdown on May 4 and will continue to open parts of the country in a phased way, but tourism is not among the phases.
