What kind of footwear will I need in New York?|150581

I am going to New york next week and wondering what kind of footwear will I need. I know people recommend comfortable shoes but I am planning to wear skirts mostly (good option at this time?) and dont want to wear sports shoes.

I would wear comfortable, covered shoes while walking and riding the subway, and something stylish when you reach your destination. The nicer pair of shoes will fit into a large purse or bag, and you can change shoes as you reach the sites you are going to visit.

I_d recommend against wearing flip-flops, as they_re flimsy and your feet will get gross. Anything comfortable and supportive is the way to go (closed-toe or not is up to you). Just in the normal course of events in New York, you end up doing a lot more walking than you would otherwise, so keep that in mind when you_re packing. (Skirts are definitely a good way to go in the summer.)

since you don_t want to wear sneakers (aka sport shoes) then the next best thing are flip flops

My favorites shoes for walking which do not look like sports shoes are Taryn Rose, Mephisto, Arche and Beautifeel... Try zappos.com

you could wear anything you want if u are wearing a skirt bring some comfortable nice sandals and u_ll be ok enjoy it_s a great city

I wear sandals all the time and I just ride the train and go to school, which takes me a second from the station and when I get home, my feet is dirty!! I think you should wear shoes.. like those Skechers shoes.

Wear some nice comfortable ballet flats since you are wearing a skirt and enjoy the city.

anything comfortable!

Take it from me, I wanted to wear shoes that looked good with my trendy skirts as well... if you spend the day out on the town in shoes not worn for comfort, you will mess up your feet, remember you have to keep up the pace walking through the City. I know it_s not your typical choice for fashion but you will see that most New Yorkers wear tennis shoes. However if you_re just going out for dinner or a play, then wear your favorite shoes.

Streets are dirty - wear covered shoes. You will SEE just about anything in New York - but you do not want to CATCH anything in NY! I almost NEVER wear sandals or open shoes, unless I park under Lincoln Center to see a concert or opera, and only am walking IN Lincoln Center!

So - wear pants and a neutral shoe.
