In preparation for a trip to Italy, I did a lot of research on Tieks. I mean a lot of research. I first heard about the shoes on Pinterest, and then I went on their website and looked on travel blogs to find out more.

Honestly, I was scared to spend the money on them, and then find them uncomfortable. But I really needed some cute yet very comfortable shoes for my trip. So I took the chance and ordered my Tieks online.

When they arrived, they were everything I had hoped for and more. From the moment I put them on my feet, I fell in love. I had time to break them in before I left for Italy, and I would wear them to school and work. They never hurt my feet, so I was so excited to wear them in Italy (I knew we'd be doing a ton of walking).

I wore my Tieks for 10 days straight in Italy, and my feet never hurt, nor did I get any blisters. Plus they look cute with every outfit!

First, I wore my Tieks in Rome. From the Trevi Fountain to the Coliseum, to Piazza Navona, to the Ancient Roman Ruins and more, I walked many miles in Rome in my Tieks — no blisters!

Tieks and gelato in Rome... it doesn't get much better than that.

Next, we visited a place called Civita de Bagnoregio, which is a hilltop town outside of Rome. The only way to get to the town is to walk across a bridge that's about a half-mile long.

Thanks to my Tieks, I was able to walk across the bridge and back with no problems. At this point in the trip, I was so thankful to have comfy shoes! Major shout out to Tieks.

Capri was by far my favorite place that we visited, and you guessed it — I wore my Tieks there too! First, we did a boat tour around the island and then a walking tour. Our walking tour concluded with a visit to a garden, which had beautiful views of Capri. Again, my Tieks got me through the cobblestone streets and gardens of Capri.

Finally, I wore my Tieks to visit the ancient city of Pompeii. Because of the age of the city, there is a lot of uneven cobblestone in Pompeii, and comfortable shoes are a necessity — there is so much walking! Thankfully I had my Tieks!

Long story short, Tieks are definitely worth the money. Whether you're getting them for travel or just to wear at work every day, they are amazing, and you won't regret buying them! I have so many reasons to #LoveMyTieks.

Ciao!
