Packing shoes for a vacation can be a nightmare. Not only are shoes are awkward to fit into a suitcase, but they can also be smelly and dirty, which is deeply unfortunate for surrounding clothes. The best way to pack shoes is to position them in a way so they’re nestled together (one shoe’s toe hugs the other pair’s heel). And as for protecting garments against offending odors and grime, there are a range of handy shoe bags and travel cases that are readily available for such situations. Shop these top-rated options from Amazon, below.
