Walking Shoes
The best way to enjoy your stay in Italy is to keep your feet happy! Here are two highly recommended brands for good walking shoes: Merrells or Ecco.
When I walked 12 miles one day in Rome, I was wearing my Pesaro Merrell sandals and my legs and feet felt great, maybe a little sweaty, but hey that’s to be expected. They come in all colors!
Another brand of sandals was recommended by my well-traveled friend, Virginia. Ecco sandals:
“We bought our ‘Offroad’ Ecco sandals at Brown's Shoe Store. At full retail of $125, I felt after wearing them for one day in Italy that they were a bargain. We wore them everywhere and hardly took them off. They are so comfortable. And I wore them all summer too. They still look practically new and I know I'll be able to wear them for years. I have a pair of Merrells, but these were really a whole new level in comfort.”
Do you have any suggestions based on your experiences walking long distances? Please share your comments.
