 When I go back, I don't care if the Europeans don't like my sneakers - I'm not getting blisters just to look cool.

 You obviously didn't buy quality shoes.
It's not an either/or proposition.  Why do you think European Comfort Shoes are so popular?
I just wouldn't want to look like an American right off the bat.  It could be uncomfortable and make you quite a target for theft and animosity.  And, ugly tennis shoes worn off the tennic court are a sure way of screaming AMERICAN!
I have these and 
LOVE them.  Comfy, Euro-styling, Fashionable. They look great with everything.
