Footwear in the evenings

Are trainers suitable footwear around the resort in the evenings. I was hoping not to have to go to the expense of Moon Boots or walking boots as I may not use them again.

Hi susanann, From what I've seen at resorts trainers are a fairly normal sight during the evenings. Before My first ski holiday I faced the same decision as you so I opted for a pair of approach shoes, basically light hiking shoe/trainers that are waterproof/resistant, more sturdy than normal trainers and have much deeper tread for better grip off road in snow.

Brands like Keen, the North Face, etc. make some very stylish footwear that doubles up as fairly stylish casual wear when in Blighty.

Trainers should be fine.

I wore my Reeboks most of my last trip.

Any footwear with a half decent grip should be fine.

Just don't go for the 5 inch heel with an open toe.

Which resort are you going to?
I Agree that the most important rule is good grip.
However trainers could be an issue if you plan to go out exploring and loads of snow has fallen.
I have found that it varies depending on amount of snow and the resort.
Some resorts are purpose built and have lots of inside parts.

in my experience, travel to and from resort in those previously mentioned nrth face type water proof boots (or even better buy the Decathlon own brand version just as good at half the price) then pack your trainers as you will need them incase you go clubiing in the evening.

Hi Susann,
Depends where you are going - could be really wet and slushy or slippery - if in France etc, go to any local supermarche where you should be able to pick up fairly plain moon boots cheaply if you are worried about cost. I have a pair which cost about £12 two years ago and they are still waterproof and warm. Alternatively, if you happen to also be a horse owner as I am, you could wear muck boots - I wear a pink pair in the evenings.
Hope this helps,
