brian5 is correct: jeans and puma shoes...

i think a podiatrist designed the diesel shoes to create more business

Ecco and Geox are good walking shoes. I would suggest doing a lot of shopping there. They have shops everywhere. Also, dont walk around with the tourist pouch, leave your documents in the hotel safe. Enjoy your trip.

I think I'll go with the black Pumas and do some shopping in Italy.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

You are going to be doing a hell of a lot of walking! (Just got back two weeks ago). Form follows function! Wear your Nike's!!

Pumas all the way, make sure you get at least 2 pairs so you don't wear the same one everyday.
