Rome in February shoes

[Miss Phryne Fisher]

I am going to Rome in February. I know it will be pretty chilly. My go-to travel shoes are Dansko Mary Janes (they aren't work shoes, kind of like an athleisure type of walking shoe). These will not work for Rome since those are the kind of shoes you wear socklets with instead of actual socks. 

Any suggestions? I would prefer to not wear boots.

I'd wear booties. I have a pair that are hella comfortable and go with dresses/leggings and jeans alike.

My go-to is a pair of shooties (I hate that term, but it's probably the most accurate). They're high enough that I can wear them with full socks when I'm wearing pants, but they're low enough that they look more like a slip-on shoe when I'm wearing them with a dress and tights. ETA - Kind of like these, but with a lower heel (which makes it easier to walk around in all day).

I also have a pair of waterproof leather ankle boots that are great for rainy wet weather, but I'm not really a boots-with-dress girl, so I usually only wear them with jeans/slacks.

I would do a lightweight hiking or sneaker type shoe that is waterproof. The Dansko Paisley is a good one - but there are many. Not easy to dress up, so you might want a second pair, but this kind is great for walking all day in a variety of weather.

What about a pair of oxfords? Colehaan has some with a rubber shoe that look almost like cross between an oxford and a sneaker.

I would suggest Tieks or black tennis shoes
