I guess I don't see that as unusual? I don't generally walk in my running shoes because it's just unnecessary wear. They only last about 6 months as it is. So I can see packing/wearing walking shoes (Keens, usually?), and bringing running shoes, Chacos, and maybe dress flats, depending on the vacation. It's possible to pack lighter, definitely, but why restrict yourself if you have the space? A trip to Italy is a much different experience than kayaking the Everglades or something - you might as well be prepared to experience everything available.
