Will be spending a lot of the time in hipster Williamsburg what on earth can I put on my feet that will see me from day to night? I've got new Chelsea boots that I'm slowly breaking in my bunion is screaming.

All the hipsters are wearing trainers these days.

I've just bought Adidas. It's a bit like wearing slippers. I had a pair on my last trip last May and they were perfect.

Smart trainers? Lots of people here in NY wear flatish brogues / lace ups if that's an option?

I noticed that most New Yorkers wore shoes appropriate for walking and taking the tube - which surprised me, I thought they'd all look like Carrie Bradshaw!

When are you visiting? Right now its 90F during the day but in another month it will drop to the 70s. I wear nice sandals like these:

#1

#2

#3

#4

If coming in a month or so I would just bring shoes that you know are comfortable that you have at home.

I wore flat ankle boots and walked miles very comfortably.

Most women were in black trainers or black flat or low heeled boots.

Athleisure is very hip right now. Get some Nike Roshe sneakers in black for day, and get some good brogues or flattish and comfy boots or heels for night.

Whatever you do, do not take your style inspiration from SATC.

Trainers. My uber hip and stylish DD is wearing trainers. They must be the thing right now if she is wearing them.

Trainers, but please not sketchers they're the trainer equivalent of Mum boots. Adidas shell tops are a classic, New Balance are having a revival.

My name is bunbaker and I am a Sketchers Go Walk wearer Grin

I don't care if they aren't "cool", they are more comfortable than my slippers.

Yes you can wear tights and sneakers. The look is called 'athleisure'.

You will be right on trend.

Trainers.
I wore these ones with A line skirts and tights last October and looked like a native. Black Huarache
When it rained (and it did torrentially and 2 years before in Hurricane Sandy) everyone was in natty little Hunters.
