The shoe choices are settled. Remember the Merrell Barefoot Wonders?

I returned them. Because I found these Naots (ignore the pink socks—it’s to show the
shoe more vividly–
Naot Mary Jane
My husband and I went shopping for some shoes for HIM, and I found these! They are
very, very comfortable and I think they’re cute. So I decided to return the Merrell Barefoot
Wonders.
And remember the darling Taryn Rose Bethany flats? They weren’t comfortable and I took them to the shoeman to see what he could do:

Well, they’re still darling———-I should have heeded the shoeman’s sign “If the shoe fits,
repair it”—-the shoe didn’t fit in the first place, still doesn’t. But c’est la vie. We must suffer for fashion’s sake.
So, I think I’m doing very well with 5 pairs of shoes in my suitcase! And I expect I’ll wear a pair flying . . . red Merrell sneakers, black Rieker walking shoes, Naot walking shoes, Taryn Rose patent flats, and Donald Pliner wedgie slings.
Picked up a few accessories:

And DH (dear husband) is getting ready, too:

It’s so easy for a man—–polos, khakis, . . .
Will polish off this string of packing episodes with a finale—stay tuned.
Good to know! I have been checking out shoe options for our backpacking trip – I am still lost! Want something somewhat fashionable (not running shoes), but of course very comfortable and walkable – hmmm.
I think I may have met the challenge. Will let you know after my trip!
I’ve found that Naot shoes are always comfortable right from the start and even on long sightseeing days. I don’t know about backpacking, though — wouldn’t you want hiking shoes for that?
Oh, well, even backpackers want to have cute shoes when they return to the lodge or wherever it is they return—and ok, let’s start looking for cute hiking boots!
The Naot shoes look beautiful. Especially nice with the pink socks, so I say pack them. DH’s choices also look so nice . . . will he be blogging his outfits, I wonder? (just kidding!) Looking forward to the next episode.
I may not be brave enough for pink . . .
