Are open toed sandals allowed in churches and museums?<BR><BR>Today is my last shopping day before the wedding, and I want to make sure I don't need new shoes. <BR><BR>Thanks so much for your help.

I guess the females will have to answer this one but my experience has been that the big prohibitions in churches in Europe are on bare shoulders and bare legs, i.e., no shorts. I'm not sure shoes are an &quot;issue&quot;<BR><BR>BEWARE: the self-appointed &quot;fashion police&quot; who hang out here will soon swoop down on your post and if you aren't careful they'll try to plan your wedding AND the clothes that EVERYONE should be wearing if you allow it!

Thanks Bootman. I welcome all fashion advice, as fashion is something that doesn't come naturally for me. But alas, there is not enough time to change my wardrobe before the big trip.

I always travel in my Ecco open toed sandals and have never had a problem in churches or museums in Europe. But you do want to have your knees and shoulders covered as should your husband.<BR><BR>Congratulations!

I've never had a problem with bare toes anywhere I've been. Even in Greek Orthodox churches, where they hand out shawls to cover your arms and/or legs before you go in, they don't seem to worry about what you have on your feet.

No, in Bangkok at the Palace. But anywhere else, just fine.

Yes- That is all I wear when I am NOT wearing my walking shoes--<BR>So OPEN TOED Sandals are fine==<BR><BR>

<BR>ELAINEE<BR>It's been a couple of years but as I remember it we had to take OFF our shoes in Bangkok!!!

That was my experience in Bangkok as well - having to take our shoes off.

In summer I always wear open toed sandals everywhere...
