Guys, how many pairs of shoes do you travel with? I'll start: 4. 2 dress shoes (wear one on plane), 1 running/gym,1 flip flop (for hotel). Alternating dress shoes keeps it lasting so much longer!

@D6 I'm able to travel with 4 pairs of shoes without checking any bags; in fact, I don't even need to gate check my bag on the smallest regional jets as I can fit everything for the week into a large weekender bag.

I used to do 2 pair dress shoes but changed to simply rotating pairs each week. So still rotating shoes but less suitcase used each week. Also buying quality shoes is key. I rotate through 4 pairs of AE. Haven't re-crafted for 4 years

You know that if you alternate weekly, you still cut each pair's use in half but don't have to pack both

Only reason I pack 2 dress shoes is to have one black and one brown. Same with two belts, one black and one brown. So I can match my dress pants and shirts to those.

Women probably pack more :D

I pack a pair of brown or black dress shoes, wear the other on the plane, and leave a pair of running shoes at the hotel in the bag I leave.

3-4: 2 dress (wear 1 pack 1, alternate daily so they can rest between wears), flip flops for hotel, and optional gym shoes. Gym shoes stay in the hotel/office over the weekend.

My running shoes, flip flops and either black or brown pair stay at the hotel weekly.. Wear 1 pair home

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.
