I will be going to Amsterdam and London soon and am traveling with only a carry on bag. I will have one pair of light weight hiking shoes and am considering bringing one pair of sandles. The sandles would be used in hostel showers and for bike rideing. Does anybody have a reconmendation for the brand of sandles I could use? They would need to be light weight and yet secure enough to bike 20-30 miles. Any constructive help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for youe assistance.

SPD clips or no clips for the bike. There are some excellent bike sandals if interested.

Check Keen's out - IMO their sandals are great.
Be sure to copy the web address exactly, or cut and paste. If you type in keenfootWARE instead of keenfootWEAR, you'll be hijacked to the wrong site.

My husband and I like Keen sandals as well--especially the Newport style for hiking and biking. You can purchase them online at www.zappos.com and have them in a day or so!

Keen Newports are great for biking; can be worn with/without lightweight sports socks; waterproof for the shower---you can just slide feet in over the back strap like clogs for a quick trip. And, these sandals are very comfy and sturdy enough for city walking. The rubber toe guards are a nice feature too. I would guess that Bean's has something similar.
