Tennis shoes are for the "old country". Yep, nothing makes you stick out like a sore American in France more than a comfortably clunky pair of tennis shoes - especially when worn with Chino-style pants. Don't get me wrong, now. They'll wear tennis shoes here - just not practical ones. The girls, especially, go for those tennis shoe-style shoes that are more like leather dress shoes than anything you'd ever want to run in. I do have a pair, and I wear them most, but since the kids make sure that only half of most any pairs in the house is available at any given time, I went out in these. Gasp! That's right, I actually went out in these. And, I'll be wearing my shorts this summer, as well (most girls don't wear shorts here, either)! Just call me a rebel.
