EUROPE 2023 - SHOES & CLOTHES




I know Europe is considered so fashionable and Paris is considered the fashion capital of the world, but trust me, 99% of the people you see are dressed for comfort. You rarely see a lady in high heels or a gentleman in dress shoes and suit. 

Shoes 

Before we left Florida, I got some new shoes specifically for the trip. These shoes were the most important things I brought with me and I highly suggest making sure you have excellent shoes for your trip. 

Brooks Glycerin 20 

Hey Dude

White Mountain Harley Sandals

I wore the Brooks the most - they were excellent shoes and really saved by feet and knees.  But near the end, I started wearing the Hey Dudes all the time because my feet were starting to swell, so having a less structured shoe was so helpful.  I put the White Mountain sandals for about a half hour and realized that they weren’t going to work for all the walking and hills in the area.  I never wore them again for the entire trip. 

Clothes

Bring things that are easy to wash and dry. Don't bring heavy things that you will have difficulty laundering. Bring clothes that you feel comfortable in, now is not the time to try out some new jeans.

Bring clothes that you can layer. Depending on when you are traveling and what weather you're used to, you will need to be able to put on or take off layers.
