I am the other way, my fussy feet usually wish I had brought one more pair for switching out with.</p> <p>Octavia, I'm definitely bringing tights this trip. I generally avoid them as with my long feet + longish legs they are rarely comfortable, always pulling down. If needed I'll also have the leggings I use for under my ski pants.</p> <p>Astrid, you've made me realize that for someone with a fairly androgynous style, none of my oxfords make the grade for all-day comfort and support! If I had plain black sneakers/walking shoes I'd bring them, but mine are white or beige... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/austra-question-2-boots-and#post-1607423 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 11:47:06 +0000 Staysfit 1607423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think only two, the boots and one other. I usually end up with too many pairs of shoes when I pack and don't wear them. I think you can manage most weather situations in that temperature range with the wedges and the boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/austra-question-2-boots-and#post-1607393 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 10:22:47 +0000 Astrid 1607393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When are you going? Right now the highs and lows for Vienna call for something right between ballet flats and warm boots, in my opinion. Do you have some kind of oxfords you could wear?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/austra-question-2-boots-and#post-1607344 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 04:38:43 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1607344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of having a second coat along for city wear, but if it doesn't fit in the suitcase, I wouldn't worry too much. Especially after seeing the <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2016/01/21/link-love-coat-weather/" rel="nofollow">article Inge provided</a> on wearing parkas with more formal clothes. For a second coat, though, I think the peacoat would suffice (and be smaller to pack, I'm guessing). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/austra-question-2-boots-and#post-1607343 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 04:35:59 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1607343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the boots and wedge shoes sound great. I doubt you'll need more than that. Sounds like a fun trip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/austra-question-2-boots-and#post-1607332 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 03:51:40 +0000 L'Abeille 1607332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Footwear:<br />Will wear on the plane, my bulkiest boots. Either near-knee-high leather&nbsp;winter boots, riding style, lined and a bit stiff but can wear them all day comfortably enough. Or pile lined, high-mid-calf snow boots, plain black (no laces); more comfortable for apres-ski, but I think too warm for the predicted Vienna weather.</p> <p>Second footwear, for city walking: I just picked up the low-wedge black ballet flats I had been eying, as comfy and supportive/solid enough for cobblestone walking. Wore them for an ER shift to break them in, they passed. I hope this will cover both the dressier and warmer-weather needs. Alternatives I had considered include moto boots (too bulky), loafers (falling apart), plain ballet flats (not supportive enough).</p> <p>If there's room I'll pack another flat comfy pair for apres-ski hotel room/hot tub-side. Maybe my Birkenstock lookalikes, or maybe even my oldest supportive house slippers and leave them behind.</p> <p>Am I crazy? Any suggestions? </p>
