(newcomer) needs advice on shoes!

[nicola]

Hola expats!I have just arrived to the area from the US (the land where we drive everywhere) and I am very happy to be in a place where I can walk all the time. My feet, however, are not as happy. Anyone have reccomendations of shoe bands/stores that carry comfortable walking shoes that aren't sneakers (aka a bit stylish)? Any ideas much appreciated!!N

Do they make an ATV version? The roads and walkways are appalling, My wifes heals can barely survive (wrecked one set on our last visit) never mind skating.

Merrells are always a safe bet although I haven´t seen them sold anywhere here as yet (mind you, having only been here two days myself I´m no expert expat).

I have seen merrells, though I cannot remember where. I will consult with my wife and let you know if she remembers.

There is a shop in Alto Palermo that sells Merrels, hope this helps.
