The brief:
Summer shoes, comfortable for lots of walking, preferably wearable with socks (am not British/European, so that rules out sandals ), or comfortable and breathable enough to not need them.
Look ok with shorts and trousers.
We are off to Europe for 3 months in August, and packing space is seriously limited. Two pairs of shoes would be ideal, and I've already decided to take my big hiking boots. I have some birkenstocks, but don't find them comfortable for too many hours.
Thoughts?
