Best shoes for Europe

We're bound to do a lot of walking on tour, and there are as many opinions about proper footwear as there are European vacationers. Last time it was on tour, I had girls insist on wearing flip-flops for the first few days. That didn't last long. They soon realized that comfort, not style, is the key while we're on tour.

Check out this link for some current tips from international travelers about the best walking shoes. If you don't plan on buying new walking-specific shoes, consider wearing a good pair of athletic shoes. Be sure they fit well and are a little broken-in before you set off around Rome in them.

My favorite shoe store is Playmakers in East Lansing. I know it's a drive, but they have great service. They'll even analyze your stride to tell you what type of shoe will work best for you.

Whatever you do, be sure you have a comfortable shoe that fits well.
