I am planning a vacation in Europe and need to know what type of
comfortable walking shoes would look best with capri pants. I will be
walking most of the day so sandals are out. What about plain tennis shoes?
What type of socks should I wear. I want to look nice but comfort is
extremely important. I am 50 years young!--Kathy

There are a couple of different options here, Kathy. There are some
really cute flats out right now that are a cross between tennis shoes and
loafers, and I think those would be perfect with Capri pants for a long
day of walking. You could also wear plain tennis shoes, but I wouldn't
wear athletic (running) shoes.

For socks, I would wear either anklets or loafer socks--you don't want
anything that's going to compete with the hem of your Capri pants (and the
point of Capri pants is to show your ankles and lower calves anyway!) The
flats described above will give you a stylish edge and set you apart from
the typical tourist hordes. Have a wonderful trip and take lots of
pictures--smiling because your feet don't hurt! :)

I hope that helps.

Best Regards,

Kat
