Can you wear sandals hiking Cinque Terre?

Yes you can wear sandals to dinner, but on a rocky trail they could be a problem. A quick google search indicates that no flip flops, sandals, or pumps are allowed on the trails between the towns (fines range from 50-2500 euros depending on the intensity of a rescue mission).

Sandals are much more comfortable than thick boots if you're going on a more or less even path. This means that rocky, slippery, and/or uneven trails shouldn't be hiked in sandals because they have less grip on the surface. However, if it's not a difficult path you can easily go with sandals.
