Update: The First Lady arrived in Austin, Texas wearing a pair of white tennis shoes.

A First Lady is always prepared.

To be fair, they are very good shoes. But are high stilettos really the best footwear for visiting an area that is experiencing massive flooding?

Maybe she waterproofed them before leaving the White House. Maybe her real hurricane footwear was already on the aircraft.
