Footwear for the rooms?

[Disneykim]

I never like to walk barefoot in a hotel room, but I know when I get back from the park after walking all day.......I can't imagine not wanting to take off my shoes, but what does everyone put on then?

 

[Tigger113]

I bring my slippers!

 

[Tinkaroo]

I live in my Isotoner slippers - at home or on the road. They're lightly padded on the bottom, so they even feel nice for tired feet!

You can buy them at major department stores - no more than $15 for a pair.

Buy a pair of cheap flip flops for $3.50 at Old Navy and then just throw them away at the end of your trip.

Socks.

Nice soft comfy ones.

 

[Nolcrest]

It's flip flops for me.

Ok, I am going to die.....of WDW foot fungus. I prefer naked pigs and I take my shoes AND socks off as SOON as I hit the room! God help me!

 

[sleepyone]

Thick cushy socks

 

[beth_cam]

Do you wear pool shoes in the shower too?

 

[CoolDisneyCat]

I take my bedroom shoes, but only cause those bathroom floors are cold! It never occured to me not to walk barefooted on the carpet. Was that on 20/20 or something??

I'm with you on this one. There are so many situations ,that are not so obvious, where you can come in contact with something not sanitary. I just think about a swimming pool. I don't care how many chemicals are in the water. You are still floating around in water that comes in contact with EVERYONE'S genitals. Whether clean or not.....it's still a body and water gets to it. You really have no idea what someone did in the hotel room before jumping in the pool. Your mouth comes in contact with that water. Walking around on the hotel carpet in bare feet just does not worry me as much. I don't put my feet in my mouth.

Oh dear God in Heaven!!!! This is the 2nd post today in which I read that I have put my family's health at risk while in my hotel room in WDW! First, we found out that yes, we HAVE slept in the beds with the blankets and all their bodily fluids and God only knows whatever else! And now I find out we have walked on the fungus laced floors with bare feet! EWWWWW!!!! I guess I am a very naive person because I believed that if I pay an arm and a leg to go on vacation I am entitled to at the very least, clean linens! I cannot tell you how sick I feel after learning about the lack of cleanliness there is in ALL hotel rooms-not just disney! I think I am going to stop reading these two threads because I may never go on vacation again! At least not without my own set of complete bedding including pillows and a ton of lysol and bleach!
As for the pool and jacuzzi, well I never go into to either of them cause they have always seemed like everyone is taking a big bath together. Call me a germ-o-phobe I guess!

Watch next time how many people go from the pools into the bathrooms with bare feet....it will gross you out!

You can't think of everything to keep from the germs..........just like a home
you go the grocery store....and touch everything........go the gas station use the gas pump (how many hands have touch that pump). I could keep on goin
but I might have to put myself in a plastic bubble LOL

Tiggersmom - I LOVE YOU.....I hate shoes and love naked feet, I feel much better that someone else is with me....Hello, my name is Cindy's Mom and I go barefoot in hotel rooms

 

[DebbieB]

I have a pair of isotoner slippers I keep in my travel bag (mostly so that I don't forget them next time). I don't really like to walk around in socks at home, not because of any germ thing, just don't like to. I do walk around barefoot in the summer at home.

 

[EsmeraldaX]

Slippers. With Mickey on them, of course.

I also enjoy soaking my feet in the tub before bed. It really helps and I think prevents blisters etc. I also take foot massage gel and rub that on my feet and some other stuff to prevent my feet from getting too dry and calloused.

 

[SpecialK]

Flip-flops or socks. I don't like to walk around barefoot at home either - I like to have more cushioning.

 

[MinnieM3]

Naked piggies here too, Tiggersmom.....we live the wild life!

Chris actually walks around with nekkid feet too. I'm pretty sure it's safe. I just like slippers because I have weird feet...high arches. If I don't have some support it hurts. I'm not really germ-phobic.
