Keens or sneakers

[blum74]

Do you think new, but broken in sneakers or Keens (Venice H2) are better for WDW walking?

[TxRabbit]

I think it depends on what you are most comfortable wearing. Both would be good, supportive walking shoes.

I am a sandal wearer myself. When we first went to WDW I heard about all the walking and thought that I should wear sneakers, but I was miserable wearing them. The next time I brought a variety of sandals (all athletic, supportive styles) and was so much happier.

I was there for a week in March and I wore croc flip flops the whole time. No problems.... great foot tan lines!

I finally broke down & bought a pair of keens before our trip last year and I will never ever take sneakers again! Totally comfortable, fast drying, light.... I can't say enough about them. Worth every cent!

I wear both.

I did notice on my last trip that black from the inside of the Keen Venice was rubbing off onto my pedicure and then I couldn't get it off so I'm thinking my Keens may need replacing.

I have worn both and prefer the Keens.....but I do also bring moleskin. The Keens are supportive but I do sometimes get Hot spots so putting a bit of moleskin saves the day.

I just bought the Keen enclosed support sandals. I am wearing them in the house because I always need to wear something with support all the time. I am taking the Keens and New Balance sneakers for our trip in June. Because the Keens are so sporty and enclosed I am wearing little booty socks with them. Yes they do leave black marks. But they are great for comfort and support for anyone they suffers from heel pain.

I wore Keens for six days on our last trip. Brought the sneakers "just in case." Never needed to take them out of the suitcase. Have fun!

I think Keens are great, but especially in the summer when you might be more apt to go on waterrides, get wet near fountains, etc. I suffer from heel pain and need good arch support so they really were a great find for me.

Note - even though these are sandals w/ ventilation, hot spots are still possible! I use "body glide" in conjunction w/ wearing Keens.

Keens are great! So are croc flip flops! :rotfl: I would also bring a pair of tennis shoes and alternate! :laughing:

I'm a Keen's girl- they can get wet. That blows my sneakers away. And I alternate with my Croc Flip Flops. I Think switching off your shoes every other day is a plus.

My vote KEEN'S!

I haven't found many keens in local stores so I was thinking of ordering them online.

Are they true to size?

[AmberHeartsDisney]

i never wore keens but i love crocs hah it sound close

[GoonieBride]

it depends what you feel comfy in. but keep this in mind. if it rains while your wearing sneakers.... wet shoes and socks all day.

I found them to be true to size. They are a bit wide though, I have narrow feet and it doesn't bother me, I just pull the straps tighter. I LOVE EM'!
