We leave this Saturday. I have a pair of mephistos and a pair of Joseph Seibels. Do you all have anymore shoe suggestions?
 
I have no clue what you are talking about. Wear the most comfortable and broken in shoes you have
 

I wore my mephisto sandals/flip flops last year and was very comfortable and happy with them! Have fun!
 
I worried a lot before our September trip about what shoes to wear that wouldn't kill my feet. I have heel spurs and I usually wear orthotic inserts in my New Balance sneakers. As I was packing, I worried about how some of my outfits would look with sneakers. Not that flattering! I have 2 pairs of crocs but couldn't wear them all day in the parks. I also didn't want to get my only pair of good sneakers soaked in the rain. My best option then was to try the new Croc Athens flip flops. I was very sceptical about wearing them all day. Would I have to pinch my toes to keep them on ? Would my feet kill me?
Well all this was answered after our first day there. Day 1 was at Magic Kingdom. I wore my sneakers as I do everyday with no problem. I was going to carry my Athens in a backpack in case it rained and then would switch.
The 2nd day arrived and as we were headed back to MK, my feet hurt quite badly. As soon as we stepped off the bus I said I was going to do an experiment. I was going to switch to my flip flops just to see how they would work. I still had my sneakers as a back up.
Well... I couldn't believe how my feet INSTANTLY stopped hurting. They also never started hurting the entire day.I was scared about how they'd feel the next day though. Also no pain ! It felt like walking on a cloud.
When I first bought them. I wondered if the little ridges around the thong part would irritate between my toes, so I took a razor and scratched them away. They didn't bother me once.
I'm writing this on November 13th at home and I'm still wearing the Athens. In fact the whole trip I didn't take them off. I'm SOLD !!!
I hope you find something that works for you. Elisa
 
I'm definitely going to try to the athens on my next trip. On my last trip to Disneyland, I wore some Keen trail running shoes (rain wasn't going to be an issue so I wasn't worried about my feet getting soaked). They are mary jane style tennis shoes. I found them rather comfortable. I would recommend, however, no matter which shoes you wear, you go buy some band aid advanced blister relief bandages. Those things are simply amazing. I had blistered on the back of my heels from a pair of new shoes I was breaking in. I put on the bandages and I no longer felt one iota of pain. You can also keep them on for a few days at a time (they survive showers quite well). When I took off the bandages, you could see no signs of blisters on the back of my heels. So do bring some of those just in case! I know I plan to never leave home without them now.
