Anybody out there ever warn a pair of these shoes to the theme parks? Good Housekeeping just gave them the top rating for walking shoes.

I have never worn these but don't think they would be for me - not enough support, also won't wear anything that might be slippery in rain.
What I do wear, and love, are my Easy Spirit (Romy) walking athletic shoes. They are very comfortable for all day, and no problem with them slipping when it rains. Have worn them for years with no problems.

I went ahead and order them, Im going to see how they work for walking BEFORE I get down there I'll update incase anyone is courious

Just got the shoes. They are super light and feel like you are wearing a sock. There is absolutly no pressure points in the shoe. They are so flexable and breathable. I havent worked out in them because unforunately I need to get them a half size smaller so Im sending this pair back. But Im sure they will be great.

They do have one negative there is not a lot of arch support. But I have some inserts Im going to see if that helps

Got the correct size. Spent all day in them. All kinds of walking. They feel awesome even without inserts. Again not a lot of arch support. Doesnt seem to be a problem for me. They are SUPER light, bouncie and I wore them without socks. My feet did not get hot.

Glad your shoes seem to be a great fit for you. They sound really comfy I have to have good arch support for all day walking, also shoes that will not be slippery in rain. Our feet are all different, definitely not a "one shoe for all"

Hey I just bought a pair of these from Bealls (FL). I got the taupe color and they are much cuter IRL than the pictures. Mine were laced with white laces, but they also had a spare pair of taupe laces with them too - nice idea. I already have a few pairs of the Easy Spirit Traveltimes so I hope I like these as much.

But I also wear a lot of Orthaheels and hope my feet don't mind me switching from one extreme to the other all the time.

Did you end up trying them with your inserts? I was wondering if they fit nicely inside, without being too thick for the shoe. I find that sometimes my inserts (I use SuperFeet green) are thicker than the original insole and make the shoe too tight on the top of my feet.

Thanks for the info! I bought mine last week and I have been wearing them a lot! I got a grey pair with navy stripes. They are extremely comfortable...like a fitted pair of crocs! My only complaint is that they make a squeaking/popping sound at the toe area when I walk on tiled floors. I am hoping that this stops with wear. I also bought them a half size bigger since I have a wide foot, so it may be my fitting? I am taking them to Disney with me in Tuesday, so I will let you know how they hold up for park wear

I guess whether they are slippery will depend on what the surface is that you are walking on. They dont have a very rugged sole.

I got the silver with the lavender sole and they came with lavender laces and grey laces. I have the purple laces in them and they are so cute. Ive already gotten complements.

I have a light weight dr scholls that is made to add support to casual athletic style shoes. And they are pretty thin. I hadnt noticed much of an improvement. Im not sure Im going to need any extra support. I think time will tell. I plan on wearing these as much as I can before our trip in Nov.

One of the reviews I read at the Easy Spirit website mentioned this, was that you? Absolutely update with your results. We have no fancy dinners this time Im hopeing to get away with bring this one pair of shoes. But I keep thinking what if something happens to the one pair I bring and I dont have another pair to wear My daughters strap broke on her knock off keens last year and she couldnt wear them anymore I had to safety pin them together. Im really glad they didnt give her any trouble with the safety pin on them. So I may not mentally be able to get over that.

9 hours at the county fair and I think these shoes are a winner. Im now sure they will hold up for me at the theme parks.

It was not me who reviewed the shoes, so it may be an issue. I did buy them a half size larger because my feet are wider, so it may be the extra toe room? I am wearing them to MK today, so I will keep you posted! Hoping it doesn't rain too hard on them....might pack the crocs just in case!

 

[mrstomrice]

I wore these to MK yesterday and Sea World today. They are perfect for the park! They got wet at SW and dried very quickly. I have been to Disney every year for the past 11 years and as an adult I have never had a better walking shoe for the park on a hot day! I am so glad that I heard about them and that I bought them!

This is very exciting. I have been wearing mine every chance I get and I love them. Thank you for updating this thread. I like mine so much I honestly am going to get another pair in one of the other styles they have maybe the maryjane.

They sound like the "perfect" walking shoe. The two main things that concern me (hate to order before trying on!) is that online it mentions there is a lack of arch support, also may be slippery on wet surfaces. Did you find this to be so?
Sometimes you have to move pretty fast on wet surfaces at Disney, and I sure don't want to slip and fall BUT, I sure would like some ultra lightweight comfy walking shoes
Also, did you order the same size that you would have bought in regular athletic shoes?
Sorry for all the questions, but TIA

I ordered my normal size and ended up returning them for a half size smaller. Mrstomrice said she ordered a size up for wider feet But they do have them in a wide width. The soles are a little sponge like I'm thinking they won't be slippery and no they don't have a lot of arch support which worried me but so far so good

I have the easy spirit riptide slip on and love them! They look really similar to the shoes you have except that they don't have laces, they slip on. I have been wearing them since May and have nothing bad to say about them! I like that they are a little more youthful in appearance than some of the other easy spirit shoes, I get lots of compliments on them! I am going to the world in December and I will be bringing them with me.

I don't have that specific style but I love Easy Spririt. That is all I have worn for the past several years.

I'm thinking about getting those in the pink and orange. Youthful is s good word. Most of their shoes are not my style at all. But they sure are comfortable shoes
