Whatever you usually wear for doing that in the UK.
In this country I'm either at home (slippers) or I'm in an environment suitable for a decent shoe. I can't imagine in 30 degree heat I'll be that keen on wearing proper English shoes. I can't see how it's so difficult to grasp that people will likely wear different footwear when on Holiday abroad to their usual attire.SebastienClement said:

What do you wear then?

Okay, whatever you usually wear on holiday in a country a bit warmer than the UK.
Hint: we do occasionally get pretty warm weather here too. What do you wear then?
I find it difficult to deal with 20'c heat, so I tend not to go to warmer places. I am looking for advice, as I don't expect my usual Barker Derby shoes which I wear for casual situations will be the best for potential 30'c heat. I assumed that something like deck shoes might be more appropriate?Hint: we do occasionally get pretty warm weather here too. What do you wear then?

I do not understand these posh, expensive shoes? Some of the shoes in here look hideous too (Monk shoes I'm looking at you!).
I was also once chastised for wearing brown shoes because I did not have a brown belt on, is this still the way of the world?
The Belt should always match the shoes, anything else is just slovenly I was also once chastised for wearing brown shoes because I did not have a brown belt on, is this still the way of the world?

Too right it is, never mix black shoes with a brown belt or vice versa!!I was also once chastised for wearing brown shoes because I did not have a brown belt on, is this still the way of the world?
Schoolboy error!!

Just go and buy a pair of shoes that you like the look of and that you feel would be suitable for such an application.
If we're being pedantic surely deck shoes should only be worn on the deck of a boat....

It's not the law, you can choose not to appreciate good shoes. It's only the same as watch/car/wine/etc enthusiasts, some take pleasure in appreciating nice ****.I was also once chastised for wearing brown shoes because I did not have a brown belt on, is this still the way of the world?
My 'posh expensive' shoes are likely to last twenty years, so a sound investment. Good Oxford's and brogues are likely to suit most occasions requiring little thought about what's 'fashionable'.
Then again, I may be talking **** to justify my purchases.

Mrs Johnny has now insisted she has some to match, so ordered her some too. And a new t shirt, obviously
We're going to look awesome
