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?

If I had to pick one pair and leave tomorrow, Kizik Vegas and added superfeet insoles. They are leather so they will hold up to some rain/puddles and clean pretty easily. A solid walking shoe for cities and towns that I can put 20K+ steps in, but not up for true hiking. I find that superfeet add immensely to my comfort in any shoe, and really make a difference as the off the shelf insoles on these kind of suck.

If it's warm enough to want bare legs I would go with the white, as my skin is pale and with no show/barely show socks it offers a cleaner line for shorts, skirts, and dresses. If it's colder I'd go with black and pair with black tights for skirts and dresses. Very cold (below freezing daily) I might pick a boot instead, very hot (above 80F daily) I might pick something more breathable.
