In the interest of packing as light as possible, I'm thinking about just one pair of shoes in addition to my hiking boots and suede drivers to take on an overseas vacation where we'll have five days of exploring one of our favorite cities. The week prior will be hiking in the mountains, hence the boots.
Trousers will be a pair of jeans and a light-colored linen trousers. Jacket will be charcoal fresco. Shirts will range from plain t-shirts to polos to merino sweaters.
Weather could be anywhere from 40s at night to low 80s in the day. Could be rainy, could be fair.
My shoe choices are:
1) Brown suede chukka boots
2) Brown wingtips (I'm wearing them for work this week in Phoenix and they're very comfortable)
3) Light brown non-penny loafers. Smooth and plain.
4) Black cap-toe derby, pretty well worn-in.
Open to any other suggestions too. I have six weeks to break in a new pair...
Thanks in advance,
