If you’re wearing capris, your shoes should be flat and not too high. You don’t want to wear anything that’s going to make it hard for you to walk and keep your balance.
Flip flops are a bad idea because they can be uncomfortable and risky if they have a platform or heel. Sandals are also a bad idea because they’re likely to hurt your feet if they aren’t made of soft material and have a proper arch support.
The best shoes for capris are ballet flats, loafers, oxfords, mules, sneaker wedges (like the ones pictured above), and loafers. The best thing about these shoes is that their soles have enough cushioning to help absorb shock but not so much cushioning that they look like they belong in the closet instead of on your feet!
