It doesn’t have to be a rule, but I highly recommend, when you go to a new city, new shoes are in order.

You can bring them, newly bought (but broken in), buy them or borrow them (okay, maybe not borrow, unless you are bowling or skiing.) Then, just enjoy walking through the streets, seeing the sights and blending in as much as possible.

I mean, who wants to look like a tourist? (The answer is no one.)

If you forgot to bring them, you can go shopping and bring back something special from each new city. New shoes are definitely on this list, but boots are even better. Certain destinations may lend more to this option, than others, but you can decide. And, then, you will always remember the experience just a little bit more.
