How many pairs of shoes do you take?

[OKW Lover]

Only 2 pair for me. But then I'm a guy.

My wife on the other hand usually takes at least 4 pair.

Last year I brought 4 pairs of shoes...
slip-on sneakers
walking sneakers (in case the slip-ons gave me problems)
flip flops (for the pool and Kali River Rapids)
nice sandals (for a dinner at Cali Grill without the kiddos!)

The four pairs of shoes I brought worked out great and I'll probably do exactly the same thing when we go next month.

Hi there. Well, My family and I just got back from Disney World. We went for 10 days and I brought 5 pairs: 2 tennis shoes and 3 flip flops. Flip Flops were for water parks, dinners, and to let my feet breathe for a few days. Also, if you get blisters from tennis shoes, were more 'roomy' or 'airy' shoes. It helps.

always 4 pairs sometimes 5.

 

[Eeyore Excitement]

I think I answered the poll 1 to 2, but actually I'd bring 3. Two pairs of walking shoes to switch off in the middle of the day and a pair of sandals for the resort and pool. I just don't do pool shoes. Too ugly.

I am ashamed to admit that I brought 8 pairs with me last fall. 1 Crocs, 1 flip flops for poolside, 3 Birks (all sandals, but different styles), 1 Clark's athletic style sandals, 1 tennis shoes, and 1 nicer dressy sandals.

Didn't wear the tennies at all, only wore 1 of the 3 Birks, wore the flip flops around the pool, wore the dressy sandals once, and practically lived in the Crocs and Clark's.

Next time, I will bring 4 pairs- flip flops, Crocs, Clark's and more Crocs!!

Thanks so much everyone! I think I will stick with this:
2 pairs of Crocs
2 pairs of Tennis Shoes
1 pair of rugged Nike sandals

Hope this works!

I only take 1 pair of Crocs and 1 pair of sneakers.

 

[disneychickforever]

3-4 pairs I usually bring 1 sneaker, 1 flip flops, 1 slippers, and this time if I get them in time, 1 Crocs.

I usually only bring 2 pairs and they are both sandals but my feet were killing me on our May trip and even for like 2 weeks after we came back. This time, I'll be bringing a pair of sneakers, too!

I could have wrote this one.

Love switching off in the middle of the day, gives the feet a nice break in the action.

In less than a month, I'll be gone! So any last comments are welcomed!

i bring one pair of sneakers (that are definitely broken in), one pair of loafers (i wear them all day every day at work and even bike in in them, so my feet are used to them), and one pair of flip-flops. i have a shoe for every occasion that way (parks, semi-dressy, and pool!). i've debated buying a pair of keen sandals for the parks, (they seemed to be real popular down there when we went) they look real comfy and at least i can wear them if it rains.

 

[tomerin]

uisually i take 2 psirs of sneakers, one always gets wet between the water rides and the unpredictable wdw summer storms and one pair of sandals.

 

[Todd&Copper]

For 6 days of in-park fun, I brought one pair of walking shoes, well-worn; one pair of Tevas, which I wore only 2 times, and a pair of flops for the airplane and walking around the hotel room.

 

[disneyfanfamily]

Last year for 9 days I took.....ummm.....10 pairs. All flip flops. They are what I am most comfortable in. You know, red tank, you need red flip flops. Black shirt, black flops. This is why I need to start packing weeks ahead of time...

 

[Glendamax]

Thanks for your votes, and responses. I leave next week! I still think the finally count is 5.

Thank you!

 

[Redbudlover]

I am with you - I like to change for dinner at a signature restaurant and put on a nice pair of sandals. So for me I would bring cross trainers, casual sandals and nice sandals. My casual sandals are the best, most comfortable pair I own. I can walk in them for hours.

 

[mikesdisneymom]

4 Pair seems to work nicely,

Remember that you might get rained on (I experienced a torrential downpour just before Hurricane Wilma last October) and your shoes might get totally soaked. We were sometimes nearly ankle-deep in rain. It took about two days for my shoes to totally dry out.

I recommend taking at least three pairs of shoes (I wear sneakers). Whatever you decide, though, make sure that all of them are very well broken in. I brought one pair last year, and thought they were well broken in. Wrong! Got a terrible blister before I realized it.

Remember, you can always wash your clothes (so it makes sense to take less of them), but you might be sorry if you don't have enough pairs of comfortable, well-broken-in shoes.
