We’ve all been there — stuck in the security line while the people in front of us struggle to remove complicated shoes while standing on one foot. As 94.5 million Americans prepare to travel at least 50 miles or more this holiday season, according to AAA, we are all looking for ways to ease the hassle of travel.

 

One solution could be Skidders slippers and flats, available for $9.99 and up on the website. What helps make them perfect for travel? They are washable, non-slip, comfortable, flexible, safety compliant and they offer traction and control. Additionally, they allow travelers to save time at security checkpoints. The thin-soled slip-on shoes, as recommended by the TSA, come off easily and typically don’t require extra screening.

 

Skidders line of chic slippers and ballet flats are the perfect choice for the airport, or for traveling by car or train. Hard-soled ballet slippers come in a range of colors, from black to pink, for $18. The ballet flats, in several colors, are also $18. Other options for women include sequin slippers, clogs, quilted slippers, crystal flats, studded flats and comfort flats. Skidders also make flip-flops. MLB, NFL and college designs are available.
