We live in Colorado, and my 58-year-old husband has never been the most fashion-conscious guy in the world, to say the least. He owns one pair of tennis shoes, a few pairs of western boots, hiking boots, and sandals. His dress "shoes" are dress boots!

We are now, however, planning a trip to DC and it is going to be hot, but we want to know what kind of shoes would work well with shorts and Dockers and be comfortable enough to walk around all day on hot concrete and still be nice enough to wear out to dinner at a nice (but not really fancy) restaurant.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Rockports would be good. Brown shoes to go with khaki or navy pants or shorts. Buy them now so he can break them in before the trip, although Rockports don't usually need much breaking in.

Just came across this thread but I was going to recommend Sperry Top siders as well (they sell them at DSW if you have nearby?)

WTF is that. I would go with sandals. I wore them to dinner in Montreal, which IMO is a lot dressier than DC.

The humidity sucks, and 95 will feel like 108 F.

Any ideas? dress up! You are in the Nation's Capital so wear proper attire! If your hubby isn't fashion-conscious now is the time to dress him up!
Get him a proper pair of dress shoes and make sure his attire matches it. Why am I thinking you would love to see him all "decked out"?
Good luck & enjoy DC!
