Footwear for walking

The two main criteria are comfortable & gripping/non slip soles. In the summer you will likely want sandals most of the time but not flimsy ones for walking, ones with some support are best, I live here & footwear that fits these criteria are all I own!
The above is just for around towns & villages (you often come across cobbles or marble which can be slippery), for more serious walking/hiking you may want a lightweight breathable hiking boot.

I love wearing the Keen brand Rose sandal style for both comfort & it has a wonderful gripping sole. I’ve worn this style for many years, and they’re terrific for cobblestones, for hiking, and lots of sightseeing.

Thank you both! Perfect

I’m a huge believer in the Keen brand. For decades I wore tennis shoes as a film and tv location manager. Developed a bad case of plantar fasciitis. That disappeared when I bought and wore my first pair of Keen sandals. That was over 25 years ago.

Retired but still wear Keens. Now have 4 different pairs of Keen Sandals including the first pair which look great. They are red.

Pricey, comfortable and durable. Love my Keens.
Have Newports in Red, Uneeks in Lime Green and Light Blue. Have blue lace ups as well as my favorite wear nearly every day Targhee lace ups.

Also a pair of black “loafers.” Wear them on my flights to San Francisco and London.

Various pairs have been to Cuba, Europe, NYC, Florida, Grand Canyon, London, Alabama Footills and Mt Whitney, Anza Borrego desert, Palm Springs, Alcatraz, San Francisco, Yosemite, Ashland, Sacramento and Vegas.

Footwear is a very personal choice. High quality sneakers are my typical footwear when in travel mode.

Another fan of Keen’s.
