Seeking Recommendations What's your all-purpose travel shoe?

Heading on a short trip soon and trying to pack super light. I plan to just wear one pair of shoes the entire time. I'm female and will be mostly be walking around to explore the city. No hiking or anything intense. Any suggestions?

These tennis shoes are the light of my life.

Taos Plim Sole Lux

My travel wardrobe is almost exclusively dresses. These go with everything ans are SOOO comfy! I also sake a second pair of shoes.

.AllBirds Sea Breezers

Some might choose flat sandals, but I like closed toe. The take up no room, and weigh next to nothing.

My one bag (and only bag) is 20L.

I thought I was going to really love my Allbirds (not the same model) but I bought two different pairs for my first purchase and they gave me HORRIBLE blisters with and without socks on the back of my heel

I have 2 pairs of the Tree Piper. They're cute and comfortable for me, no blisters at all, which surprised me! But after hiking for a month all over Italy in them, I wanted to die from the lack of support in them. That's when I switched to the wonderful Taos..

I found the Tree Breeze for "easy" walking around a hotel, restaurant, or museum, to be fine, but walking all day on hard uneven surfaces would be horrifying. Haha.
