I’m trying to understand my obsession with good looking, comfortable shoes that keep your feet dry on wet, rainy days.  I sit here in, in July, Southern California, in the middle of a drought, and rather than contain my thoughts to practical sandals, I find I can’t get enough of these cool weather shoes.  Any of the above selection would also make a great choice for travel.  These boots and shoes will still be comfortable after a day of walking and sightseeing while looking good.  Several of these styles can be dressed up or down so one pair can work with several outfits, reducing what you need to pack. Cole Haan, Aquatalia and La Canadienne are my favorites brands.  They hold up well to miles of walking.  Happy Trails!
