I have two pairs. My boat style ones- I do not wear socks.
I do wear thin socks with my lace-up one.

Anyone tried Skechers GoWalks at WDW? They look pretty comfy and fairly "cushiony", but wondered if anyone has first-hand experience with them at WDW. I like the fact that they're really lightweight, but wondered if they have any kind of support at all.

I've done this several times. However we only hit the parks for a few hours at a time (we live nearby). I've found that after ~4 hours I'm wishing that I had more support.

I took a pair of GoWalk 2 to WDW this past summer and while they were great for about 6 hours, after that I had to change shoes. I have very flat feet and they offered no support. What really worked for me and I was walking 8-9 miles a day, were my Clarks sandals. After a full day with no break at Epcot, it was the first time I had done WDW without foot pain.

I just bought a pair of gowalks 3 and they were NOT comfortable. I just don't think they fit my feet correctly. They were a little big. The sizes fit me weird- the size 8 was tight, so I got an 8 1/2 and they were a little big. The insoles are not memory foam they are yoga mat material. I don't know what it is about them that made them uncomfortable. I have worn them a couple of time out shopping and my feet and ankles hurt by the time I got home. I was very disappointed.

I took both Go Walks and regular tennis shoes last year and found Tyne Go Walks more comfortable. This year I'm going to skip the tennis shoes and take 2 pair of Go Walks.

I wore a pair of GoWalk 2's for 3 days at Disneyland. I bought them after having my hip replaced because I could just slip them on. I walked 10+ miles a day and had no issues. My feet felt great and the shoes held up well. I don't wear socks with mine. I do agree that they get stinky, but they are washable. I air dry mine and haven't had any issues with the fit.

I have two pair of Go Walks that I wear to work a lot. I have worn them both socks and without. I haven't tried them at WDW. I may try them out in December but will take my regular tennis shoes, as well.

Go Walks are my go-to Disney shoe. I wear the lace-up version in the parks and I put drug store arch supports in them- the perfect touring shoe in my opinion

I'm breaking in my new Go Walks... they are giving me blisters on both heels. Love them otherwise.
