FOOTWEAR / Street Surfaces

Many streets in Italy have uneven surfaces. There is lots of cobblestone and slate.  Wear shoes that fit snugly.  Heels are not a good idea as they get stuck in the cracks between the cobblestones.  Ladies, for dressier footwear, something with a wedge heel is your best bet.

Warning: The shoes in Italy are fantastic. If you love shoes, bring your life savings. If you love shoes and are on a budget, stay away from the shops.
