Best Shoes for Walking

[Trishtack]

Hi - I will be going to Disney with DH, DD (3) and friends in Sept/Oct. My feet hurt very easily as I carry extra pounds and have diabetes. I am hoping someone has suggestions for shoes that don't leave the feet feeling (scorched). I know they have to be well padded or composed of absorbing material.

I imagine we will be walking tons as DD has more energy than most.

I would love any suggestions.

I love my Crocs Capri sandals. Went 8 days in them.

I really like my Columbia and Teva sandals. The Columbia one are similar to this: http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/42707545/c/182443.html and the Teva ones are similar to this: http://www.zappos.com/product/7373972/color/58481

Mine are a couple of years old. I find they give me great support and I like the adjustable straps as my feet tend to swell in the heat as the day goes on. I alternate them every other day and haven't had any issues with lots of walking in the parks.

Thanks so much!

Since you are diabetic, I would suggest something like Keens that are sandals, but still provide a little extra protection.

I am also diabetic and carry excess weight. For me, flip flops do not provide the appropriate support for all day wear. I have had good success in the parks wearing both Crocs (the traditional ones) and ECCO sandles. It works best if I alternate days so to give the pressure spots relief on the off days.
