Sometimes walking across the Creighton campus is a breeze, and sometimes it's a near disaster. Either you're walking uphill or downhill, and depending on the weather and other conditions this can be an enjoyable trek or a dreaded one. Sometimes you trip on a loose brick, sometimes you slip on a wet leaf, and other times there's a foot of snow on the ground. Here are some sneaks that won't fail you as you walk across campus.
1. Chacos, Teva, or Keen
Some of you may refer to these as "ugly sandals," but as "ugly" as they may be they have an ideal comfortability and support. These are ideal for hot seasons, but can also be paired with socks for colder seasons. I honestly don't think that these are ugly... maybe it's just me, but I think they're kind of cool looking. Also, if you can hike in these... you can def walk across campus in them.
2. Converse
Converse is honestly one of my favorite shoes. They're comfortable, cool looking, and match just about anything. They do have some traction on the bottom and can keep your feet both cool and warm. Plus, when they get dirty you can just throw them in the washing machine, and set them out to dry as normal.
3. Birkenstocks
Also known as "birks." Some of you may also think these are ugly, but they are super comfy. You'll need to give them their break-in period before trekking across campus, but after that, you'll be good to go. I also think they're super cute with any outfit. However, most importantly, they hold up and last longer.
4. Adidas classic shoe
While these sneaks are super hip and in, they are also ideal for long walks. They're one of the most comfortable shoes to ever exist, in my opinion. They pair with just about anything you wear, which is great for those times you just need to throw something on. They are durable and can get you through just about any condition.
5. Adidas tennis shoes, Nike tennis shoes, or really any tennis shoes
Tennis shoes can do it all. You can workout in them, walk in them, and look stylish in them. With all the tennis shoe brands and styles, it can be a process to find that "perfect pair." Once you find the ideal tennis shoe for you, you'll be on the road to success for walking across campus.
6. Vans
Both stylish and comfy. There are so many different Vans out there that you have lots of options to find your ideal pair. All Vans have a great amount of traction, as a lot of people use them for longboarding and riding motorcycles. If you can do that in Vans, you can do anything in Vans, including walking across campus in whatever situation you may be in.
7. Sperry boots (or whatever brand boots)
I hesitated to get a pair of these, however, they are ideal for cold conditions, and I am so glad I got a pair. You may not like walking across campus sweating, but wait until you walk across campus freezing. These boots are made to keep your feet super warm and cozy, and also have an extreme amount of traction for when there is snow/rain on the ground.
8. Crocs
Crocs. Enough said. Want to wear a sandal? Crocs. Want to wear socks, too? Crocs. Crocs have grips on them to keep you from falling down, and who the heck isn't comfy in a pair of crocs!? Also, they're waterproof... so, so what if it randomly starts raining... you're prepared. Pick your favorite color and show off your fancy shoes as you make your way across campus.
