A Really Big Shoe

One of the major packing considerations for this trip has been shoes. I don't want to pack too many but I don't want to find myself wishing I had packed a particular pair. I am considering the following:

My Steve Madden Moccasins are my first consideration for comfort while flying. Although they are useless in rain, snow sleet or any other adverse conditions, these are total comfort. I plan to wear these on my long flights across the Atlantic. They slip on and off easily and feel like house slippers. So these are a GO!

The smooshy black flats by Rocket Dog. I figure I need one pair of quasi-dressy shoes for any event that might require the black slacks. These are so comfortable yet practical. So we have the dress-up department covered.

Of utmost importance is the rain shoe. Considering that it rains two thirds of the month of March, these are a must for those days that we will be sloshing around in the rain. They are warm, they are comfortable and they are waterproof. Yep, these are a definite GO!

Of course, you have to have tennis shoes, especially a pair that matches all your turquoise!

For serious walking, nothing beats Merrell's. So the brown Merrells with the furry lining provide warmth and comfort for those long touring days when the weather is cool. Not to mention they provide some waterproofing for stomping through wetlands.

Back to the hotel room for total comfort, these marvelous Daniel Green's are just what the doctor ordered to rest my weary tourista feet. Not to mention they slip on easily in case of fire!

So now I am trying to sort through my shoes and make decisions about that. I want to take four pair with me, but which ones can I do without? Decisions, decisions....continue.
