OK, Sharp Dressed Man...

I'm going to Italy for 2 weeks in June. I will certainly do a lot of touristy sightseeing, however I don't want to look like the ugly American with new white Nikes.

Gotta have sharp looking shoes that are comfortable enough to walk in all day. Whatta suggest?

I suggest two pairs of shoes:

Keen sandals for the beach towns. I lived in mine when I went to Italy in the summer.

And Puma shoes for the European look.

well, from the looks of the Euro tourists in NYC every summer you're probably good to go with black socks, running shoes or any flavor but at least 5 years old, check shorts and some ridiculous inappropriate shirt, most likely 1 that says I heart NY

you'll fit right in over there in that outfit

oh, and make sure that you walk 4 across on all the sidewalks, slowly, staring up at whatever catches your eye, during rush hour

I'd go with a pair of Nike Air Max 360's for walking or if going out to eat I have a pair of Gucci Driver's I wear

I love Diesel Shoes but their not all that comfy, my Gucci's plain hurt but my favorite Walking Shoes that are NOT my "going running" Nikes are Kenneth Cole's with the Liquid Gel Insert.
