Going away for 10 nights in Europe ( Mostly Spain) Will involve a bit of sightseeing, bit of driving, bit of beach plus pool and nice restaurants.

To chose from, in order of comfort I have -

comfy flat van type slip ons in silver
comfy canvas pumps in neural khaki
flat fancy sandals in pale pink with pewter sequins on the heel. ,
black plastic glittery Birkenstock things for water,
toe post flip flops in tan and yellow leather
brown leather wedge heels with gold leather ankle strap.

I have packed a few tent dresses in orange white and black. Maxi dresses in brown and bright pink. Shorts in black and khaki and a pair of shiny black jeans for plane/rain/ evening.
I am not taking 6 pairs of shoes …am I?

The neural khaki sounds interesting.

Actually they are special because they have no tongue. Nothing rubs on them and they are leather lined so don’t get smelly.
So these are definitely coming!

I love those shoes! Where are they from?

lightisnotwhite · 01/08/2022 19:54

@greyinganddecaying
Clarks. Many moons ago though.
I wore out my first pair after a couple years and obviously they stopped making them. Unbelievably a pair in my size appeared on eBay, unworn.
I wish I could find somewhere else did tongueless shoes. Really good in hot weather.

Take the Vans as well if you've got room.

Wearing the silver vans to the airport. There’s always so much walking to get to the gate.
Taking everything but the Birkenstocks as I can use flip flops for beach and pool.

DH has dealer boots for long trousers at airport/ restaurant but they look good with longer shorts too and flip flops.
