MissJ, I too have a pair of Tieks. While I like them and wear them around town they don't have enough arch support or insole padding for an a full day of touring walking for me. When traveling, I wear a pair of fashionable sneakers with an insert for support during the day. At night I switch to either a pair of boots (winter) with an insole or some cute and comfy espadrilles (summer) for dinner. I was slow to come around to the athleisure footwear trend until I was in Paris last year and spotted very fashionable french women in their black pants and sneakers. Now I own black sneakers for winter and white/light for summer!
