Memory Foam Shoes - thanks for the tip!

[GiftTrip]

In researching for our first ever Disney trip (squee!), I saw a common recommendation was comfortable shoes! Alternating between two pairs was also recommended. Even though our trip isn't til Dec, I shopped now in the Summer months for the best selection of jogging/tennis shoes and chose ones with memory foam. Thanks from the bottom of my feet for the tip!

Yes. Comfortable shoes are a must at WDW. You were smart to shop now so you can get them broken in prior to your trip. It's no fun to have bad feet at Disney, either blisters or soreness. Cheers!!!!!

Hope you like your memory foam sneakers as much as I do! I got a pair of Skechers memory foams the week before my February 2014 trip. No time to "break them in," but didn't have a single issue with them! They were super-comfortable right out of the box. I have some significant foot issues, so these shoes were a godsend.

One thing I realized, though, was that they might be too hot for a summer trip - I went in February, and thought they felt a little too warm on the hot days during my trip. Would definitely be hot on a summer trip! If I get another pair, will go for a style with more breathable/mesh-type upper, if possible.

One more thing - I don't think my Skechers Go Walks have enough padding/memory foam for a WDW trip, at least for me. I got a different type of Skechers with a very thick layer of memory foam for my trip - you can push it down with your finger and it "dents" like a memory foam mattress pad. My Go Walks are okay for casual wear, but don't have enough memory foam for WDW. These are the ones I got:

Love 'em!

My favorite brand is Asics! they are amazing! I bought one pair and never even had to break them in! so, I have two pair I will be alternating between when I go to Disney World in October.

Sorry if this might be considered a little off topic..but I recommend Sanuk Yoga Mat Flip Flops. Although I have not tried memory foam shoes or flip flops, I've been addicted to my yoga mat Sanuks for the past few years. Besides being really comfy, I can get them at a reasonable price online & one pair lasts me several months. I live in S FL so I get a lot of wear out of them & can wear them for a full day (open-after close) in the parks with no complaints whatsoever (especially when it rains)!
