For my trip, I ordered a gently used oxford-style Dansko on Ebay. Since the shoes were pre-worn, I didn't have to worry about breaking them in beforehand! They wore perfectly for the full five months.<br /><br />Here's the one, I think: http://www.polyvore.com/dansko_melodie_oxford_shoes_for/thing?id=38690003<br /><br />If Dansko isn't your style (I know some folks aren't nuts about cloggish shoes), I'd recommend looking into Ecco or Born. The Ecco Chase is a nice sneaker option and Born has some simple ballet flats with good arch support for walking. If you're headed somewhere warm, you might be better off with a comfortable sandal. Born & Dansko also have some excellent options in that category. And I'm happy to announce Berks are (surprisingly) huge in the fashion world right now!<br /><br />http://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2014/jun/15/birkenstock-sandals-shoes-fashion-industry<br /><br />Hope that helps!<br /><br />inspirsessionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00579184262738042591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998010807702405527.post-1820385348497647902014-07-25T14:33:21.430-04:002014-07-25T14:33:21.430-04:00I'm about to leave to enjoy a European vacatio...I'm about to leave to enjoy a European vacation in a week and this blog couldn't have come at a better time! <br />I have a white tie performance one night, and a few nights later should be walking cobblestone streets and through the halls of major museums. <br /><br />I have absolutely no good flats for walking. Your post made me want to go out and buy some Docs! What flats would you recommend that are both stylish and not necessarily trendy and go with EVERYTHING? <br /><br />I totally agree with the dresses/leggings/tights combo - although Germany/Austria/Netherlands in August probably won't have me wearing the tights. <br /><br />I loved your "* = PUNS!" lol Kristin Elinehttp://www.kristineline.comnoreply@blogger.com
