If you could only bring one pair of shoes...

[AliPom]

I just had to reply because I got a kick out of this thread. A woman restricted to selecting only one pair of shoes to take on vacation is a horrible thought. If a formal night is on the itinerary I could manage bringing 3 pair: a casual walking shoe, a black sandal that works day-to-evening and a dressy formal pair. If no formal evening, i could pass on the dressy pair.

I realize that you want your DW to pack reasonably, but if she is a shoe-person and can't handle a shoe limit; let her bring what she wants, otherwise, you will be shopping for shoes on vacation!

If you really want to be a tease, remind your dw & dd's that one pair can be worn and not packed!!! Happy packing!

i suppose it depends on whether you're talking about the 7 day or 3/4 day...
we were on the 3 day cruise and only wore our sandals the whole time...
but then again we live in a very hot climate and wear our sandals all year long.....so it was the norm for us...
i'm sure people thought us odd for wearing sandals to dinner, but it's none of their business what i choose to have on my feet...
you should do what makes you comfortable....
besides, on the 3 day cruise pretty much anything goes.....there were people who came to dinner in very nearly formal wear....while most others were extremely casual......you are on vacation after all.....
my daughter wore jeans to dinner (because that's what she wanted to wear and i learned long ago to pick my fights with her....designer jeans at dinner is not one of them)....
she didn't feel at all uncomfortable or out of place...

so....do what makes you feel good....don't worry about what other people think.....

Alright! I must know! What are Tevas? We must not have them in Michigan! Either that, or am I out of style???

When people say "Tevas" they are most likely referring to that brand of all-purpose type of sandal. They do make other kinds of shoes too though.
