What kind of shoes should I travel with to South America?

I’m traveling to Colombia. I’m not going backpacking or anything, but I imagine that I will be walking a lot. What type of shoes should I wear? I’m thinking about purchasing some teva flip flops (the women’s olowahu style), but I’m wondering if anyone out there has had any experience with this sort of thing. Thanks!

I would recommend Tevas, or some other sturdy sandal. You are going to want the sporty bottom, but for your feet to be free in case they get wet, and to keep then feeling fresh. I usually also travel with a pair of flip flops for the beach and showering, and tennis shoes just in case I am in a chilly, or really buggy area. It also might be a good idea taking bug spray if you wear sandals so your feet don’t get super bug bitten.
