Honest thoughts on these shoes...?

[LancsLass1]

I want some shoes for an upcoming holiday which will involve a lot of walking around cities, could be rainy at times, could be hot and sunny at other times (Autumn in Japan!)

I'm trying to take the smallest amount of clothes/ shoes possible, so I'm looking for something that's OK for walking in the day but also could be dressed up a bit going to restaurants at night (nowhere super posh).

I'm in my mid-30's. Are these stylish or are they terrible? I like the colour but really can't tell if they are more suitable for someone much older...

If you don't like them do you have any other suggestions that are good day-to-night shoes that can do for walking around and also restaurants?

Make that 80+.
I'm 50 plus and they are dreadful.

They do look a bit like old lady shoes. Here we go again. Are there old gentlemen shoes?

You could do better by getting trainers, like New Balance, Gola, Vega, which can all be worn with dresses in the evening or for loads of walking something by Merrell. Or slip in a tiny pair of slides or sandals for the evening. I agree.

Tbh in Japan you may be taking your shoes off indoors more than you otherwise might so I reckon you could get away with one pair. I'm still going with the white trainers with summer dresses look, they work with jeans too, fairly young looking and a smart pair can be dressed up to some degree unless you're going to a cocktail party... yes I know that trend is probably old now!

This time of year is humid and worst for rainfall, so one pair might not be such a good idea.
I'd use it as an excuse to buy more pairs there.

I am sorry, but I am older and they still look "too old" for my taste. I would buy Merrell walking shoes or some trainers with good support and I'd add comfy insoles too.

I agree. You'd get some interesting stuff in Japan.
