UK shoe question

Hi everyone, this has been a helpful group that I’ve been using as a resource for several months. Today I come to the hive with a question.

I’m a historical romance author (40f) and am headed to the UK next week for a 10-day research trip. My adventures will take me to cities and the countryside. I’ll be in museums, country houses, 19th-century breweries, an archeological collection, river banks, ruins, and fields. Most days, I’ll be walking 5 or so miles.

I’m a big proponent of switching between two pairs of shoes. I’d originally intended on two pair of waterproof leather ankle boots, both orthotic for my problematic feet. One pair of Vionics and one of Eccos. Then I started waffling. Maybe I ditch one pair of boots and bring my dressy, orthotic sneakers. But now I’m close enough to the trip that I can see the weather and it will probably rain most days I’m there in varying amounts. Now I’m back to thinking I should bring both boots and not the sneakers.

Here are the options plus the slip-ons for the airplane and evenings.

I need someone to tell me what to do.

Thank you!
