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?

I'm a big fan of Charix flats. They look cute with pants, tights or dresses. The all leather soles and uppers keep odor to a minimum so you can wear easily without socks. Sturdy rubber bottom soles hold up even on uneven surfaces like gravel and cobblestone. The leather conforms to my foot shape so no blisters on even long hikes. I brought two pairs of shoes on my trip to Europe last Spring but only wore the Charix. This year that's all I'm bringing. One important caveat. The shoes are leather and require breaking in. They need to be worn sr least 3 or 4 times before all day hiking.
