As we told you earlier, Melania Trump accompanied President Trump on his trip to Texas this morning to survey the damage, but it appears some reporters aren’t happy with her shoes:
@FLOTUS's stiletto heels aren't exactly disaster friendly, but there's time en route to Texas to change shoes. https://t.co/FBNCtm84p9 pic.twitter.com/Ob5NPCLvqM

Caroline Baum, @MarketWatch:
Melanie might want to bring a better pair of walking shoes.

Kate Bennett, CNN:
I remain hopeful she packed a change of footwear. However, for @FLOTUS, the 5-inch heel is her sneaker, so ??♀️. https://t.co/6ODKIraei4

Well if @FLOTUS toes get wet in the floodwaters at least her heels should remain dry #sensiblefootwear pic.twitter.com/MGO38XAwwS

Robin Givhan:
I'm assuming @FLOTUS has a change of shoes in the chopper. Also guessing the sunglasses won't be needed in Texas. pic.twitter.com/3OmxuGCaxl

Everyone can relax, however, as she has a change of shoes:

Update. She’s now wearing tennis shoes:
Melania changed into tennis shoes while aboard Air Force One. Not getting hurricane briefings in stilettos. https://t.co/EzxzjEWBE0
