scokely Posted March 23, 2022 #1 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Going on a May Baltic sailing and looking for good shoes to wear in port. Since it's a bit cooler and likely to rain, looking for a boot with good traction. Something that looks a little polished but wouldn't be destroyed if they became wet. I am on the shorter side, so many of the booties in fashion now cut me to make me look stumpy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mich3554 Posted April 1, 2022 #2 Share Posted April 1, 2022 I don’t look to fashionable shoes if I’m going to be out in the rain. My shoes for excursions (rain or not) is usually a pair of light, waterproof hiking shoes. They have excellent traction (especially on wet cobblestones) and support my foot well. My current ones are Keen, but I have worn Merrill’s as well. I can verify that when it poured in Naples last fall, the only place that got wet was from the bottom of my raincoat to the top of my shoes. https://www.keenfootwear.com/p/W-TERRADORA-II-WP.html?dwvar_W-TERRADORA-II-WP_color=1022345&cgid=merch_shoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slidergirl Posted April 2, 2022 #3 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Also Keen Presidio - it looks more like a shoe than a tennis/hiking shoe. If you want a bootie, Teva actually makes a few nice-looking waterproof booties. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoncom Posted April 4, 2022 #4 Share Posted April 4, 2022 You really need a good pair of hiking boots for the cobblestones and dirt trails. Nobody cares what they look like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody cares what they look like. A good pair of hiking shoes (NOT BOOTS) will work just fine. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2BACRUISER Posted April 5, 2022 #6 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I use Tmberland boots for hiking, they're pretty heavy so usually ttravel in them if flying to destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbyost Posted April 7, 2022 #7 Share Posted April 7, 2022 These are the boots that I wore almost everyday on our Baltic Cruise in the Fall of 2019. Extremely comfortable and keep my feet warm and dry. https://www.magellans.com/itemdy00.aspx?T1=ME8528+BK+39&srccode=NXCMC6&utm_source=google&utm_medium=comparison&utm_campaign=datafeed&source=pla&gclid=CjwKCAjw9LSSBhBsEiwAKtf0nznqCibalyhNn5NtIRou61ci5FY4F2BxplV3BBGxALAnsBBVyBE1yRoCnzQQAvD_BwE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
