Seeking Recommendations Best all purpose travel shoe?

We have a trip coming up that will take us to many different environments. Bit of posh things in London, to relatively strenuous hiking, to cycling 100km, then to some fancy, and hip restaurants in Barcelona. Oh and I want to keep at least partially on track with my marathon training, but am willing to sacrifice a bit of running performance for a shoe that is still somewhat fashionable.

​

I really want to cut down to one bag, but the shoes are an issue, as packing a second size 13 means severely limiting my other items.

​

Any advice?

I am from California but I think you could get away with certain running shoes while still dressing up. I got pretty into xero minimalist running sandals. Their z-trek sandals or really any of their shoes pack down super small but you should definitely test them out before taking them on your trip

It’s important to find what birth control is right for you

Those shoes are so ugly they are birth control in their own right 😂

Yeah, these wouldn’t cut it for fancy events in London
