MANILA, Philippines- Summer’s the best time to go on a family vacation.
Sledgers, the iconic French brand for luxuriously crafted men’s leather footwear and accessories, shares tips to help step up the fun and thrill of one’s road trekking journey to your chosen summer destination.
• Long periods of continuous driving puts extra strain on both car and driver. After choosing your dream destination, make a list of your itinerary so that you won’t be inside the car for endless hours doing “marathon” driving. Doing so helps you save up precious time and fuel refills. Maintain a safe distance of close to 90 degrees (a right angle) from your seat. Make sure that the seat is not too far from the pedals. The feet should easily reach or get in contact with the pedals without having to adjust the position of your back.
• Wear appropriate yet stylish summer wear. Also, take into account the need to dress up comfortably — from head to toe. Sledgers spring-summer 2011 casual driving shoes’ main technology, Flex and Move — along with the brand’s trademark super lightweight, maximum sole cushioning and shock absorption properties — provides that much-needed comfort and absolute flexibility all throughout the trip.
• Maintain overall foot health. Sledgers’ casual shoes are custom-fitted with specific shoe widths, cushioning technology, and superior comfort features that provide the right amount of “space” for ease of movement while following the feet contour naturally.
• Boost your overall stamina. Keep a considerable amount of healthy snacks and water in the car. A mini-cooler packed with ice-cold beverages goes a long way.
• Conduct a thorough car check. Apart from taking good care of your trusty vehicle via regular car service. Check the car’s coolant level, tire pressure, and make sure you have a spare tire. As for cell phones and other electronic gadgets, be sure they’re fully charged so you can make important calls — for emergency road-side assistance — fast and easy. But in case things get ugly — like getting stranded in a remote area — a nice pair of Sledgers shoes lets you walk comfortably to find a nearby gasoline station or road assistance unit.
