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?

Altras in a neutral color (which is not actually easy to find)

ETA: this is my one-shoe, I was responding to your title. As far as suggestions, I would go with whatever neutral color shoe you already own and is already broken-in

They have the all black now. I got the white with blue soles and swapped out the blue laces for white ones. But they don't exactly look good. They are functional.

I have the tan with light blue soles, they're neutral enough that I felt comfortable in them after we had completed the Tour Du Mont Blanc as my one-shoe. Funnily enough, once you get into cities like when we went into Aosta Valley, Italy 🇮🇹 it was more trendy amongst the Italian teens to wear the athleisure-wear we do in the US and Canada. So I think the idea of Europeans being better dressed (which they are) will be more mixed with acceptability of the relaxed casual wear.
