It's true though. I stumbled across them after I started this thread. If only they weren't so expensive... Although some of these shoes in this thread weren't cheap either!</p> <p>Thanks Gaylene! I'm not a fan of look of the Wolky. I've seen some nice Naot sandals a few weeks ago and did some research, Naot isn't available here either.</p> <p>Thanks for the link vshp!

That's why I didn't want non leather ones, I'm not a fan either. I rather like the mocassins. I don't have sneakers like the ones you linked to. I have some red converse, but they are high ones and therefore not that great with skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/europeans-and-all-fab-walking-shoes-to-go-with-skirts#post-702169 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 19:26:30 +0000 Scarlet 702169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sorry--I am completely allergic to sporty mary janes. It's just a personal thing. What about some mocassins?<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.de/Minnetonka-Kilty-Suede-Damen-Mokassins/dp/B0009IZWL0/ref=sr_1_3?s=shoes&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1345836312&#038;sr=1-3" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.de/Minnetonk.....038;sr=1-3</a></p> <p>Or I thought you already had something like this somehow:<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.de/Camper-PeuRambla-21490-007-Damen-Sneaker/dp/B005DPEN9Q/ref=sr_1_17?s=shoes&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1345836520&#038;sr=1-17" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.de/Camper-Pe.....38;sr=1-17</a><br /> (ETA: changed the link above to the lady version)<br /> Both of those should break-in in no time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/europeans-and-all-fab-walking-shoes-to-go-with-skirts#post-702165 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 19:22:57 +0000 Astrid 702165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, I hadn't thought of that! Maybe I'll have to search again for some non leather options. Problem is most of them are just so gearish and not all that fab with skirts... </p> <p>I was once on holiday in the south of the isle when I was a child and it was also in fall. I remember that we had some days that weren't as warm (but not cold either!) when I wore jeans and a tee and sweater and some hot days. We also went swimming a lot, the water felt like swimming in the bathtub for someone that was used to go swimming in the north sea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/europeans-and-all-fab-walking-shoes-to-go-with-skirts#post-702155 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 19:11:19 +0000 Irene 702155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I wish I could go with you Can I have a seat in your luggage? lol</p> <p>I think that your options are really nice, but beware because leather might get ruined in the mountains. Were I you, I would go for a gearish ballet flat or mary jane like the ones they suggested at first, or gearish sandals (these are for guys but you get the idea <a href="http://www.mec.ca/AST/ShopMEC/Travel/SandalsAmphibiousShoes/PRD~5018-660/keen-daytona-sandals-mens.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.mec.ca/AST/ShopMEC/.....s-mens.jsp</a>)</p> <p>Also, my parents went to the isles during their honeymoon loads of years ago, and they got married on a 22nd of October. Mom loves to remind me EVERY YEAR that that year it was so hot they actually went to the beach. It's pretty hot right now here in Spain (currently sweating like a pig), and I can't assure you that it will be this hot by October... but it might. Or it might be pretty hot if not extremely hot (think 20-25 degrees). </p> <p>(Now it will snow so that i look like a liar... lol) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/europeans-and-all-fab-walking-shoes-to-go-with-skirts#post-702140 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 18:54:31 +0000 Astrid 702140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Scarlet, the links are all mary janes because that's what was suggested. Although closed shoes are also a possibility. I think the three I posted pictures of are the best from those links because I think I would wear these again later. Not sure about the other ones. I'm not a fan of boat shoes, but I could see some canvas sneakers. Although I find it hard to wear these without socks, I could do that with the Ecco leather sneakers from above. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/europeans-and-all-fab-walking-shoes-to-go-with-skirts#post-702132 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 18:46:52 +0000 Scarlet 702132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would think something Converse-like (canvas material) or boat shoes would be a good option? I haven't checked the links you posted yet... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/europeans-and-all-fab-walking-shoes-to-go-with-skirts#post-702089 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 18:07:21 +0000 Astrid 702089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! I just order the first pair via Amazon. Free shipping and returns and 60% off.

Period. 702084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh! Astrid, I love the first two you posted just above. Those are great! I wore a similar style years ago for a trip with a lot of walking--I hadn't seen anything similar in a while. I love that they have closed toes to keep you from stubbing your toes when you are walking on uneven surfaces. Fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/europeans-and-all-fab-walking-shoes-to-go-with-skirts#post-702076 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 17:43:44 +0000 Astrid 702076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Harmonica! The three above are Ecco and Clarks. The El Naturalista were a bit too expensive at second glance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/europeans-and-all-fab-walking-shoes-to-go-with-skirts#post-702062 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 17:27:41 +0000 harmonica 702062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>short comment: of the options you have listed, I'd go for ecco or clarks. I find the sole of El Naturalista a bit slippery. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/europeans-and-all-fab-walking-shoes-to-go-with-skirts#post-702024 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 16:33:45 +0000 Astrid 702024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Isis, I'm a flats girl trough and through anyway. I'm not sure I would have bought these even for work. </p> <p>I'm not sure all of these are available in stores to look at (certainly not the ones on Amazon, I'm not sure if they are even from current collections), but I can decide which one of these I want to order. </p> <p>I actually just had a look and the red Eccos are mostly synthetic and more expensive than the second pair. These are leather and only cost 38€, with free shipping and returns. I'm going to have another look at these now and compare the prices.</p> <p>ETA<br /> I'm thinking about ordering #1 now, maybe even two sizes, what with free shipping and returns. And I'll try to find #2 and #3 in the store. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/europeans-and-all-fab-walking-shoes-to-go-with-skirts#post-701988 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 16:16:04 +0000 Isis 701988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid, I like all of your suggestions! If you don't have red shoes, the first pair might be the with which to take the plunge!</p> <p>You are smart to not pay international shipping on the Dansko;s---I have these in a different style, but same platform. I can't walk long distances (i.e. miles) in them because the height, despite the platform, throws off my gait. They are great for standing though, very comfy.</p> <p>I hope you can find some of these to try on in person! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/europeans-and-all-fab-walking-shoes-to-go-with-skirts#post-701976 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 16:03:41 +0000 Astrid 701976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the suggestion. I really like the look of these in general (not sure they would be the right shoe for this trip), but unfortunately Dansko is not available here. I don't want to pay international shipping and taxes if I don't even know whether they would fit or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/europeans-and-all-fab-walking-shoes-to-go-with-skirts#post-701971 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 15:58:24 +0000 K. Period. 701971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid, would you consider a very nice mary jane clog? Like this one? I love that these are Dansko clogs, so will be comfortable and supportive, but are also edgy (notice how the back strap wraps around and have a little heel. </p> <p><a href="http://vip.zappos.com/dansko-reeny-black-full-grain-leather" rel="nofollow">http://vip.zappos.com/dansko-r.....in-leather</a></p> <p>It has a 2 1/2 inch heel, but a 1 inch platform, so you only have 1 1/2 inch heel height, which I find super walkable. </p> <p>Honestly, I'm so in love with these that I've just ordered them in brown to wear with jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/europeans-and-all-fab-walking-shoes-to-go-with-skirts#post-701909 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 14:39:44 +0000 Astrid 701909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isis, I also think that's a good suggestion. I've just had a look and here are some I've come up with:</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.de/VIBRATION-047133-Damen-Ballerinas-Chili/dp/B0062ZN0Y0/ref=sr_1_19?s=shoes&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1345817425&#038;sr=1-19" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.de/VIBRATION.....38;sr=1-19</a><br /> (in red)</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.de/ECCO-SCULPTURED-BALLERINA-246003-Ballerinas/dp/B0062ZMQ0E/ref=sr_1_24?s=shoes&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1345817425&#038;sr=1-24" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.de/ECCO-SCUL.....38;sr=1-24</a><br /> (in tan)</p> <p><a href="http://www.clarks.de/p/20352213" rel="nofollow">http://www.clarks.de/p/20352213</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.de/El-Naturalista-N973-Ballerinas-Schwarz/dp/B0047T6YMI/ref=sr_1_64?s=shoes&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1345818826&#038;sr=1-64" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.de/El-Natura.....38;sr=1-64</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.de/El-Naturalista-Estratos-N340-1-Ballerinas/dp/B006AZLXMS/ref=sr_1_112?s=shoes&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1345818861&#038;sr=1-112" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.de/El-Natura.....8;sr=1-112</a><br /> (in black or blue)</p> <p>Or maybe these sneakers?

I think you'll get good use out of them in the city when you return too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/europeans-and-all-fab-walking-shoes-to-go-with-skirts#post-701860 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 14:03:06 +0000 Astrid 701860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the tip, Parsley! Seems like something like that is the way to go. I can see these working well (same for the ones Glory posted), but I'm not a fan of mesh fabric.</p> <p>Thanks Suz! I already like these better than the first ones, because they are completely leather outside. I'm going to have a look at Ecco and Clarks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/europeans-and-all-fab-walking-shoes-to-go-with-skirts#post-701854 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 13:56:56 +0000 Suz 701854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay. Then I recommend something like this, that I took to Banff. I used these shoes with shorts, pants, and skirts. They had good enough grip for the hike down the hill into town (a very steep walk on pebbly ground) and a few other easy hikes, but were also perfectly appropriate and reasonably cute in town. They are leather outside, with an athletic style removable insole. They were super comfy. I wore without socks but I suppose you could wear them with tights or socks or hose, too. <a href="http://store.shoetopia.ca/204303-56930.html" rel="nofollow">http://store.shoetopia.ca/204303-56930.html</a></p> <p>I don't know if that particular shoe is still available, but similar ones would be from Ecco. </p> <p>Another option would be Clarks. </p> <p>I plan to take these shoes to China with me in the fall as well. They proved very useful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/europeans-and-all-fab-walking-shoes-to-go-with-skirts#post-701853 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 13:55:56 +0000 Parsley 701853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to suggest something very similar to what Glory has suggested.<br /> This is what I wear for the circumstances you describe. I can walk for miles in them without socks and they don't give me blisters. They're not gorgeous, but are passable with a casual skirt or shorts. I think of them as a sort of dressier sneaker.</p> <p>They work so well for me that I've ordered a second pair to have when they wear out.<br /> <a href="http://www.6pm.com/privo-by-clarks-p-meridian-stone" rel="nofollow">http://www.6pm.com/privo-by-cl.....dian-stone</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/europeans-and-all-fab-walking-shoes-to-go-with-skirts#post-701846 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 13:51:01 +0000 Astrid 701846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isis, we won't do any real hiking in that we go into the mountains for a whole day (although you can do that there). It's more that we'll have to do some walking in very rocky terrain to reach some sights and for that I'll wear my hiking boots. And then I want shoes I can wear for the rest of the time. My oxfords are really dainty thin leather shoes without a grip sole. And even if we are in the city it will be different to say Paris or Berlin, because it's hilly and you have lots of old cobblestone roads and dusty lanes.</p> <p>ETA<br /> Suz, one pair of the sneakers pictured would be good to take with me as a third pair, but they don't work with my skirts. And I love to wear skirts, especially with the weather we'll probably have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/europeans-and-all-fab-walking-shoes-to-go-with-skirts#post-701839 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 13:44:16 +0000 Suz 701839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm confused, too, Astrid. Which situation are you feeling unprepared for? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/europeans-and-all-fab-walking-shoes-to-go-with-skirts#post-701834 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 13:41:33 +0000 Isis 701834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wearing your hiking boots on the plane is a good idea since they are so bulky!</p> <p>I"m still confused though! You will wear your hiking boots while climbing/hiking. Birks for the beach. And you don't need city walking shoes because your oxfords would work....</p> <p>What kind of situation are you looking for? </p> <p>(I do like the Merrels that Glory posted! They will go with skirts AND pack down lightly in a suitcase!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/europeans-and-all-fab-walking-shoes-to-go-with-skirts#post-701832 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 13:35:45 +0000 Astrid 701832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Glory! Although I'm not sure I want Ballet flats. I have the sandals for when it's really hot, so maybe a closed shoe would be better? </p>
