Ok I am in desperate search of some comfortable shoes for Disney. I was wondering if anyone has tried the Air Walks at Payless. Are they comparable to the famous Crocs? :cheer2:

I wear my airwalks practically everyday they are so comfy, squishy, soft and extremely lightweight. I can't imagine anything feeling more comfy. You could try both but I can't imagine the difference is appreciable.

I didn't want to give $30 for crocs, so I bought airwalks. Like mamaprincess, I thought they were wonderful.

Found a sale on crocs, tried them on & hated them - thought they were hard. Mom bought me some anyway. :rolleyes:

Turns out that for me the crocs are way better, especially for long periods of time. The airwalks also seem to feel "sticky".

Crocs are the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. :)

Luckily I've been able to find more on sale, because I still don't want to pay $30.

I prefer the Crocs. I stand on my feet at work and find the Crocs are more comfortable than the Airwalks.

This was helpful... I'm definitely getting a pair of Crocs before our next DW trip. :thanks:

I have tried the Crocs on and they seem too wide for my boney feet. I am afraid I will loose them when I am running to get on a ride or something. :confused:

I have a pair of the navy blue airwalks and I really like them a lot. They are very lightweight. I will be trying them out at WDW for the first time in July. My one foot must be slightly larger because the one felt a little tight so I put it in the dryer for about 10 min. then I put on a heavy sock and wore that for the day and now the shoe fits perfect! Another thing I like is that I don't think the airwalks look quite as big on the foot, but maybe that's just my opinion. I don't think you can go wrong with either one, just try both and go with what feels best to you! Have fun at WDW :wave2:

Airwalks are awesome! Wore mine last month on our trip. Loved them every minute, my feet never hurt a bit when I was wearing them. However, the one day I wore my Croc Niles (open toed sandal model) my feet were throbbing, and full of blisters within hours. talk about a disapointment.
