I’m an ex-ballet dancer – here are the only shoes I pack for a holiday and you should too
A FORMER ballet dancer has revealed the only pair of shoes she swears by when going on holiday.
Kristie who used to be a ballet dancer, often shares her travel hacks on her TikTok account.
A recent video explained why she only ever packs her Teva sandals.
She said: “Tevas are ugly but I love ugly.
“These are my most worn on my past two summer trips to Italy and Greece.
“You won’t break an ankle on the cobblestone streets or if you go hiking to some beaches, they’re perfect.
“You can wear them in the water, when they get dirty, you wipe them clean.
“They’re very tacky so on uneven surfaces you feel very stable.”
People on TikTok were obsessed with her advice.
One person wrote: “Thank you for giving me the push I needed to buy.
Another agreed: “Tevas make me feel better than everyone else.
A third simply said: “I wear mine everywhere. I refuse to be uncomfortable with shoes anymore.”
Another video shared her “ultimate life hack” for when you get blisters on holiday.
Kristie explained: “If you get blisters a lot, let me give you a pro tip.
“First let me say to prevent blisters, tape your feet when you have a new pair of shoes.
“Make sure you round the corners like a bandaid to prevent it from peeling at the edges. But do this to prevent blisters.”
If you already have blisters, she had a tip for that too.
She continued: “Hydrogel burn pads are amazing. You just want the second skin hydro pads.
“So what you do is if you get a large pack, you cut it to size, place it on your blister after cleaning it. Then cover it with the tape.
“It ends up being a pretty lump bandaid but you will not feel any pain at all.
“It creates this gelly barrier between whatever is irritating your skin. Honestly, this will save your life.”
