Melania changes her unsuitable stilettos for some sensible sneakers before she and Donald land in Texas to witness the deadly havoc unleashed by Hurricane Harvey

President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump are on their way to Texas to survey the storm-ravaged Gulf and meet with relief providers. They'll make two flights, one to Corpus Christi and one to Austin, this afternoon before their return to Washington. In both cities, they'll receive briefings on the storm's impact from area officials. At their second stop, in the state's capital city, the president and first lady will tour the Texas public safety department's emergency operations center. The president and first lady left the White House this morning just after 8:30 am for Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, he in a windbreaker sporting the presidential seal, tan pants and brown boots and she in all-black attire, save for an olive green windbreaker. Unlike her husband, Melania Trump did not wear boots. The first lady went with classic black 4inch $595 Manolo Blahnik stilettos for the trip to Texas' flood zone and cropped pants - commonly known as high-waters - that left her ankles exposed to the elements.When she deplaned in Corpus Christi she had changed into a hite shirt, POTUS cap and sensible white sneakers.
