quoteWalking, strolling, running, driving, comfy daywear, or just something to wear when going for a shower? Like other essential items of caravanning and motorhome gear, having the right choices of footwear to take on your travels can make all the difference.
Think variety, too. You’ll want different types of footwear for different occasions. As long as you have somewhere to store all your choices!
Here, we look at ideas for leisure footwear for caravanning or motorhoming that could complement your trips. There’s plenty more, of course – from Wellington boots to sandals to slippers – that you might consider essentials.
But we’ve picked some key styles below that have a bit of multi-functionality and are designed to take a few knocks and perform well for their given situations, as well as offering comfort and support.
Top tips for choosing leisure shoes for caravanning and motorhoming
- Look for protection to key areas of your feet as well as support and instant comfort when you’re trying on any footwear. Remember, some models will take a bit of time to get broken in.
- Don’t be put off by the term “walking shoes”. More often than not these are more durable than typical leisure footwear – as well as boasting the factors above. And they can look stylish, too.
- A waterproof membrane will help keep rain and water splashes at bay, but also allows any unwanted sweat to be wicked away.
- Be aware of terms such as outsole (usually rubber and your contact with the ground), insole (often removable, also providing arch support and more) and midsole (layer of cushioning) etc.
- A specialist footwear retailer will help you get the best in terms of fit, comfort, support… and price.

AKU Bellamont IV Plus

The Gore-Tex lining gives a good degree of breathability, complemented by a natural footbed made from coconut, latex and bamboo.
Definitely a superior item of footwear with exceptional comfort levels that can be worn all day long. Also, because you get greater feel through the sole, consider these suitable for driving.

And they’re extra light – typical weight is 1kg per pair. They’re also buoyant – good news if you accidentally drop them in water – and particularly easy to slip on and off.

Don’t buy cheap shoes if you’re walking. They should feel like they were made for you, giving support around the ankles. I love my Hanwags, they are light but sturdy across all terrain.
Good article, nice to see you considering a more varied aspect to write about, keeping it interesting. Thank you.
I found this article a very interesting read . I usually take wellies but I will be buying a pair of the short wellies now
Thank you for your article, as someone who needs to have great walking shoes due to toe joint issues, I would recommend Hoka walking shoes and boots. They are similar in price to the more expensive ones you mentioned, but they have mid sole rocker built in, this reduces tor pressure and they are very comfortable. They are often on offer on line and are highly recommended by many people.
I agree with Andrew Inglis completely and have the same shoes (probably).
Hi Andy, the guide offered a wide range of leisure footwear at various prices… and if you’re happy to shop around you may well find them lower than those suggested; or indeed you’ll likely spot similar styles more in line with your budget/expectations. Thanks for your feedback, and feel free to share more details of your perfect leisure shoes. Liz
I thought this was interesting, thank you.
I found the article interesting even if the shoes are well outside my price range.
Certainly there were some discounts mentioned.
Just a bit like ‘window shopping ‘ really.
I found the article to be quite informative, even if reinforcing some things that I already knew.
Your articles are generally interesting and useful. I am afraid I don’t think this is the case with this one, which is simply an advert for extremely expensive unnecessary shoes. I am currently wearing the perfect shoes for caravanning – a pair of walking shoes that I bought from a well-known high-street outdoor equipment retailer for under £30. I think you should concentrate on providing sensible cost-effective options which are widely available if you look for them.
We’re sorry to hear you don’t like article Andrew. We’ve tried to cover a variety of price ranges and products but welcome your feedback. Liz
