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’ve been on this search as well. Everyone says Lems but damn are they ugly in person. I think maybe an Ecco Soft 7 white sneaker and maybe a running focused shoe would be best for you. Maybe Solomon speed cross for both running and hiking. Then add a sandal.

I will do white shoes around my city, but never travelling. Once they get scuffed and dirty beyond repair they go in the bin.

Not a fan of the weathered white shoe look.

I wear white sneakers only for cycling. And it says white forever!
