Disney Birkenstocks

[karice2]

I am watching QVC right now and there are the kissing Mickey & Minnie birkenstock clog. They are $119. Has anyone brought or worn these in the park? They are not as unfortunate looking as Crocs.

If you go to QVC.com, you can read reviews. That pair is rated highly. I don't have Disney ones, but I have two pairs of Birkis and love them. Very comfy. I had on my QVC logo pair earlier today (yes, they make them, lol!).

Birkenstocks are not for everyone. They have a very hard sole that takes some getting used to. If you decide to buy them, be sure to wear them for a couple of weeks before bringing them to Disney. Also, you are not supposed to get the cork (sole) of the Birk's wet, so they may not be best for Disney in the rain or on water rides. QVC has a great return policy. You can always try them and send them back if you don't like them.

They're only hard until you break them in. Then they're molded to your feet.

It's all I wear. I must have a zillion pairs - and the only issue I have with them, is the wet thing. I've taken them off, stuck them in my purse and ran to my car barefoot a few times. It absolutely ruins them.

Like Birks but would be sure they good an broke in before wore them all over WDW..or it could be week for the feet...IMO
crocks about killed my feet down there...and love them around home

I have regular birks and they're great. They take about 2 weeks to break in and then you feel like you're hardly wearing shoes

I've been wearing the kissing mickey and minnie shoes for most of the past year... they are my favorite.
Everybody says you can't get them wet, but I've totally ignored that with dozens of pairs of Birks and never noticed a difference.

i bought these for 1/2 price at the GF last fall...my feet are really miserable at WDW and these were great! I would buy them full price!

Well, maybe not...I AM kidna cheap...no..REAL cheap...

I love my Birkenstocks, but I have to share my Disney experience. I wore them during a June trip and got caught in one of the flash downpours that are common in the summer. It flooded in front of the MK and we had to wade through knee deep water to get from the monorail to the bus area (we were actually coming from Chef Mickey's on the monorail to get to the MK to get to a bus back to our resort).

By the time we got back to the bus, the tops of my feet were rubbed raw from the wet leather. I had to wear socks and tennis shoes the rest of the trip... and then it rained again and wet tennis shoes were even worse than the wet Birkenstocks.

I like Tevas for disney now. If they get wet, they may chafe, but they're not going to literally tear up my skin the way the Birkenstock leather did.

I don't have any experience with these shoes but I was at the QVC outlet in Lancaster, PA and they have several of the disney ones in different sizes. They were $98 and then you could taken an additional 30% off.

My birks have gotten drenched in Disney downpours, State Fair downpours and on a Universal water ride. All have survived and I still wear them. I did however, have my Teva's rub a hole in each of my feet two weeks ago at CC, they are still there!
