Hi I keep reading over and over again how many people recommend crocs for the parks. I have been rather hesitant because I am one of the people that find them quite ugly. My other problem is every shoe I wear without socks has given me a blister. My question is I find the Malindi style to be alittle cute so I was wondering if its just as comfortable as the original ones that everyone recommends? I have no arch and that style doesn't seem to have much support but my feet are probaby going to hurt no matter what because of that. What do you think?
 
I LOVE MY MALINDI'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i have them in blue. i NEED them in black. immediately. They're SOOOO comfy!! i always wear them with knee-high's or something though, but that's just because my feet get sweaty. i don't have regular crocs so i can't make a comparison, but i highly highly recommend them. :thumbsup2
 
I have blue Malindi's as well and I wear them all the time without socks and have never had a blister from them. I've always gotten blisters from non croc shoes so I've been well impressed with crocs so much that I just got myself another two pairs of Malindi's in pink and black for my August trip. So I think it's worth a try for you as well.

I actually do better in flip flops. I have some Sanuk flip flops and some Yellow Box flip flops that are wonderful. My feet hurt in sneakers or other types of shoes. :goodvibes
 
I have the Malindi, several pairs beach/caymen as well as many pairs of Croc flip flops.

I love Crocs, and nothing is as comfortable as they are, and I honestly can't imagine wearing anything else but Crocs to a theme park. I agree the Beach style is ugly, but they feel so much better than anything else, I just don't worry about how they look. And I think the flip- flops look fine.

I got the Malindi to wear to work -I am on my feet the whole time- and I don't have to dress up for work, but regular crocs aren't really appropriate. So the Malindi is perfect. They are way more comfy to me than any non-croc shoe (even athletic shoes or Clarks). But, honestly, I don't think they would work for me all day in a Theme Park. I don't know how to explain it, but they just fit my feet in a different way, like they could come off if I walked too fast or something. And they don't seem to breathe as well as the more open Crocs. They are perfect if I am going somewhere where I need to be moderately dressy/presentable but not rushing about or walking miles. For real park touring I wear my Croc Flip flops or Caymens.

I love Crocs, but I do find that several of the more "regular looking" styles are much harder to fit. At least for me.
 
I love crocs and have the malindi, beach, mary jane, adara, and capri (flip flop). I hate wearing sneakers so I was thrilled to discover that crocs are great for Disney! While they are all comfortable, for park touring I'd have to recommend the Mary Jane, they have a good amount of support, are breathable and not completely ugly. The flip flops hurt my feet after a while, and the malindi while good for errands are not really a walk for miles type of shoe. They do not breathe as well and my foot feels constrained in them after a while. Right now I'm loving the Adara's, they are more like a flip flop but the top crosses over so they are more comfortable. I'm going to try them out when I go in June but I'm going to bring my mary janes too!
 
I love my Mary Jane Crocs. I wear them all day, I'm working at home with kds. I have one pair for inside, and one for outside.
