Recommend me some shoes/boots for Italian walking honeymoon

[Remington92]

I'm starting to gather things for me and my fiancés honeymoon to Italy in November and the big thing I need right now is decent shoes. My wardrobe mostly consists of cowboy boots, or kenetreks at the moment. I imagine we'll put on a fair amount of miles each day walking cobblestone around places like Rome so Id like something comfortable and supportive. I'm currently leaning toward a mid hiking shoe/ low hiking boot but cant seem to find many options that aren't waterproof. ( I imagine goretex/waterproof wont breathe nearly as well and would be less that ideal?) I've got a bad knee and ankle from an old sports injury so the higher support would be nice also have pancake flat feet.

Does anyone have recommendations for an application like this? About the only decent nonwaterproof ones I've found so far are Salomon forces but no one around here carries them so Id have to order them in. Also am I blowing the waterproof thing out of proportion?

I think you could go lighter than a mid hiker and just go with a light hiker/trail/approach shoe. Salewa Wildfire, options from Altra, La Sportiva etc. They'll breathe much better.

I spend a week in New Orleans every Spring and I've definitely observed there is a local preference for Hokas -similar type of walking environment. They are ugly as hell, but there's got to be a reason for that.

Two Paris trips for us. I bought black leather OnClouds and put in a better insole. Great for 20,000 steps/day and look decent for a nice dinner out with black EB type pants and a shirt.
There are many good leather sneaker type walking shoes out there.
Have fun!

I would look at black Hokas, Brooks or Altras.
