What Are the Best Travel Shoes That Are Actually Worth It?
Based on your needs and wants, blessed answer I could up with is: + Paraboot “Michael” + Clarks “Wallabee” in leather. Boths styles look ‘dressier’ than a sneaker, but are generally more comfortable than more classic shoe styles; making them great all rounders.

Winter Boots for a Lot of Walking (France)
You’re not dealing with deep winter, so boots plus wool socks will be fine. There are a few ways to go. For walking comfort, Blundstones are amazing, but they’re difficult to resole and repair. Red Wings are good boots, but pay careful attention to the soles. The cork nitrile on old school Iron Rangers is not safe on ice and wet metal. Virbram and crepe are OK. Paraboot and Heschung are great if you want something French. Boots are best bought in person, and they last for life when they’re rotated rather than worn every day.
