Defying the fashion scolds who expressed horror at her footwear earlier in the week, Melania Trump chose a pair of snakeskin Manolo Blahnik pumps for her stroll to Air Force One on Saturday as she headed once again toward the Hurricane Harvey disaster zone.

The first lady accompanied her husband for a do-over visit in the aftermath of catastrophic storm — this time, with a focus on its victims and heroes.

The Trumps took harsh criticism Tuesday for not greeting displaced Texans during an initial trip to the disaster zone, when they met instead with state and local officials in Corpus Christi.

And the first lady was savaged for leaving the White House in a slinky pair of black stiletto heels — even though she changed into more sensible white running shoes before her arrival in Texas.

Trump explained that he avoided Houston and its hard-hit surrounding areas earlier in the week to avoid taxing local resources needed for first responders and immediate aid, when flooding was still ongoing.

His wife did not defend her fashion decision Tuesday, but her office hit back.

“It’s sad that we have an active and ongoing natural disaster in Texas, and people are worried about her shoes,” her spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said Tuesday.

The first lady swapped her Manolos for a pair of sneakers when she and her husband emerged from the back stairs of Air Force One in Houston and greeted Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and other state and local officials.

She had also changed out of the dress she had worn on departure into dark slacks, a blue button-down shirt, and a baseball cap with a “Texas” logo.

The deliberately informal air of the arrival underlined the administration’s intent to signal empathy with storm victims and gratitude to its first responders and volunteers.

The Trumps were scheduled to stop at a relief center at Ellington Field, 15 miles from downtown Houston, to talk with storm survivors — and try to bridge the empathy gap that they were slammed for displaying earlier in the week.

They also planned to visit Louisiana to greet Cajun Navy volunteers, National Guard members, and emergency operations workers who have been on the rescue and recovery front lines since the deadly storm hit last Friday.

Trump planned to speak in both states.

Trump sent out an encouraging tweet to storm victims as Air Force One left Washington on Saturday morning.

“Departing for Texas and Louisiana with @FLOTUS Melania right now,” he posted. “We will see you soon. America is with you!”
