Any advice on stylish shoes that are good for walking?

I'm going on a month-long vacation to Europe, and will be doing a ton of walking. I'm looking for some perfect shoes that will be attractive, but also comfy and sturdy. I'm thinking of getting a pair of sandals as well as a pair of casual shoes that will work for walking lots and possibly minimal hiking. Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

I think flats are probably the best answer if you're looking for both comfort and style. However, since you're probably going to do a lot of walking from sight-seeing, etc, I recommend a sort of sneaker flat. Ked now makes a lot of cute options, such as this one:

and they now make cute, yet comfy, sneakers as well:

these look great with jeans, skirts, shorts, anything.





if you're looking for a different kind of flat, you could also try these:

I own some pairs of ked flats and they are a lot more comfortable than normal flats because of the rubber, sneaker-like sole.





I didn't try the second flat option, so I'm not sure where they stand on comfort level, but the description also says a rubber sole and they look comfortable enough so...





for minimal hiking, I would just advise some sort of sneaker. the keds above could work, except I've never tried hiking in them, but other options could be maybe diesels, which I know could work from personal experience.

these are a pair of diesels, but if the $90 tag isn't in your price range, I know factory shoe stores such as DSW could reduce it to around $50 to $60.





for sandals, I would recommend a type of flip flop, such as these:

hope these helped!
Reply:You can get some Cole Haans with Nike Air in them or buy some Rockports for women (They have just launched a line of nice, comfortable women's shoes that don't look clod-hopperish).


Also Taryn Rose has a line of "foot-friendly" shoes for women. She's a foot doctor and all her shoes are orthopeadically sound but still look cute. They are very expensive @ $300 plus.
Reply:toms shoes for tomorrow they help support people who dont have shoes and they are very comfortable and easy to walk in thier only 38$
Reply:My suggestion is either or both pair of these shoes:


New Balance 992 - They are expensive but support your feet.


Munro's - There are lots of styles and they are all comfortable.


Sandals do not support your feet and do not provide the sanitation that may be needed in another country. Have a good trip...
Reply:depending on how much you want to spend.... Cole Haan (a fashionable shoe line) recently got together with Nike and created a line of stylish sandals, heels, and flats that have Nike Air Insoles. They can be purchased at Saks or Norstroms (tons on Nordstroms website) for $100-$300. They are super comfortable! If that is too much money, buy some of the new stylish flats, everyone sells them: Target, Payless, Nordstroms, Saks, Dillards, Kaufmanns....everyone.





I have provided a link to nordstroms Cole Haan site, FYI the shoes that say something like "Cole Haan Air Grier Sandal" are the ones with the air insoles.
Reply:to be honest.. shoes dont have to be super stylish/fancy to look good. What matters is the matching. It depends on your clothes and pants too! If you are going to wear skirts a lot, then i suggest you wear flip flops. You can wear the ALDO ones with or w/o heels.. they look great. If you are going to be wearing seat pants or jeans, normal sneakers.. like Adidas superstars or Baby Phat look HOT!





Tip: just don't wear stillettos no matter what.. they HURT :'(
Reply:You can try Plain Janes or Anne Clein
Reply:Aerosoles brand. I have some sandals and flats that I always get compliments on. They are cute and very comfortable.
