to not look like a total outsider in athletic sneakers. I understand that in order to be good walking sandals they won't be as cute as normal sandals but I still think it's preferable to sneakers, no?
I've looked online at a bunch of Sketchers options. Maybe something like this? Looking to spend less than $100 as I don't know how much I will wear them apart from traveling. |

those seem fine! i wear tevas and platform gizeh birks for long walks (10k plus steps) - both are very comfortable for my feet |

Np They're nice and fit the request exactly. Not sure you can get any less sporty and still find comfort for so much walking. What would you recommend? |

IMO, as someone with plantar fasciitis who needs to wear support shoes, Naot has the "cutest" sandals. I like these, but they also have many other styles.

I have wide feet and love Jambu Helena:
Also found these Sorel Kinetic very comfortable, but not sure they would work with skirts and dresses.

Why do you care about looking like an outsider? You ARE an outsider. You are a tourist and will look like one. Why do you care if someone notices? It isn’t like you will blend in any case… |

I agree that none of these are "cute" but rather than just throw shade, why not post an example of a cute sandal that would be great to do a lot of walking around in as a tourist? |

| The most important thing is that they are broken in and are comfortable for you. I would wear whatever shoes you walked around a lot in last summer, or get similar ones and start breaking them in now. |

Just because you're an outsider doesn't mean you have to look like a schlumpy tourist. I live in NYC and walk all over the place. I've posted 2 Birkenstocks. Here's another brand: https://www.vionicshoes.com/calera-wedge.html?color=860&partnerid=paid_search_google_pla_pmax&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD3M6lELuG1zkVlCg0W2oEYu0t8NJ&gclid=CjwKCAiA5pq-BhBuEiwAvkzVZbCK1jw7wXo81t-mnrMNKosdaP8Z3gx2Lm1GvEXhg2iy1ZaKrMXkmRoCHhQQAvD_BwE |
