I wore sandals to walk a million miles in Paris, metro up the stairs, down the stairs, all the art galleries. A black pair of Ecco, or Keds would fit in.

There are many shoe stores in the cities, if for example, you suddenly decide to go to the opera.

Not sure where you are going? If you plan to hike the castles in Scotland I’d wear hiking shoes.

Going to Italy. Cruise and land tour.
