Melania Trump put his words into action on Tuesday, seen traveling to Texas in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, where communities are under water and the devastation has been declared a national emergency.
For her arrival, the first lady’s choice in footwear became a trending topic on Twitter — igniting a torrent of comments on the practicality of her styling. The shoes feature a pointed-toe profile on a sexy 4-inch stiletto heel. They’re available in several styles for $595 on neimanmarcus.com.
Chelsea Handler tweeted a quip: “Melania taking off for Houston on AF1…in stilettos.” Another Twitter user wrote: “Melania Trump be like ‘When there is 30 inches rain, a lady always wears 31 inch heels.'”

She teamed the heels with a black top and matching trousers that cut just above the ankle, and a green bomber jacket.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump was dressed in sturdy boots by Caterpillar footwear.
Later Melania changed into white sneakers and a more casual outfit to complete some more onsite visits with President Trump.
