Just a word for the wise: Don't wear white tennis shoes when traveling in Europe! It is one of the quickest ways to let everyone know you are a tourist. Instead, pack shoes in neutral colors such as brown or black. This will also help with the increase the amount of potential clothing options you have while abroad. Try to avoid bringing only tennis shoes and pack a few nicer pairs as well.
Oftentimes, Europeans will judge you by what you are wearing. On occasion, you may even be denied entrance to a restaurant for wearing something that would be perfectly acceptable in the United States. With that in mind, pack lightly and efficiently.
Birkenstocks are always a comfortable safe option. However, keep in mind that it rains a lot in Europe. So, you will want something a little more water resistant as well. (Another reason you would want to avoid white shoes.) I personally bought black Puma running shoes.... but I'll let you know how well that goes over after I arrive.
Travel Safe,
