Hi Folks

Well, we've spent six months in SE Asia, and are now heading to colder places. We all ( mum, dad, and five kids) wear Keens sandles every day, they are all we have.
What shall we do for colder weather?
Just wear really good socks? Or should we get something water proof? Shoes or boots? I think Keens sandles are great, does anyone know if their boots are good?

I'd appreciate any suggestions!
cheers

I would get trainers (sneakers) for the trip and the first couple of days, then buy locally when you get to your destination.

I just kept wearing my Keens sandals with handknit woolen socks down to sub-zero temps in the snow!

If I have been to a climate before, I know what type of shoes to bring and prepare accordingly.

If I haven't (not sure if you have) - I agree with KiwiFamily - wait till you get there and buy locally...just like the locals do surely!

I love buying Puma sneakers for travel for the kids. They are light weight, comfortable and super cute. They have a wide variety of styles to choose from. I just love them!
