New shoe that might just be a good Disney shoe!

Here's a link

They're a sneaker, from Land's End that's designed to wear as a walking shoe that doubles as a water slipper I'm going to try them for my honeymoon. I think they'd be PERFECT for Animal Kingdom to go on kali River Rapids and not deal with nasty water-logged socks and sneakers!

LOL, last week I got a Lands End catalog with these shoes ... my first thought was "gotta get a pair of these for Disney!"

 

[SnackyStacky]

Well, I ordered a pair of them, and they just came in today. Now, we just got almost a foot of snow here in Buffalo, so I haven't worn them out, but I have to say that just wearing them around the house, they're REALLY comfy! They really are that light, and the support isn't bad either. An arch insert would make them even better, but WOW! I can't wait to wear these suckers around Disney!

How's the arch support in these sneakers? Thanks

 

[SnackyStacky]

For anybody without arch problems, it's decent. If you have an arch problem, I would either buy some inserts, or skip these.

i cant seem to find child sizes for this shoe. Sounds perfect for the parks! I hate trying to dry their sneaks after a wet day in the parks.

Anyone see them for the kids?

The name is different, but they look like exactly the same shoe.

 

[curlyjbs]

Thanks!!!! That's them!


Ok now for the stupid question: Socks or no socks with these?

Well.... all the models in the catalogs had no socks on, but I think it's probably a matter of preference. I don't think I'll be putting socks on. But to prevent a heel blister, I'll be putting on some moleskin.

I would treat them like any other sneaker, and wear them somewhat to break them in before leaving. During that break in period, inspect their feet and if you see blister hotspots, put some socks on.

Not a dumb question at all!

How about women's?

 

[crz4mm2]

I was going to order a pair of these but all the colors I want are backordered until after our trip
I think they look very comfy.

Cathy, call the center, or place your order anyway.

I ordered for both my fiancée and myself, and she wanted the Clear Blue ones. I got the message that hers would be backordered, but they shipped within a few days of placing my order!

PS - my fiancée enjoys her clear blues ones! The color's great!

I think we're going to buy some for the whole family... and I already got my Disney walking shoes! They look perfect and I want to get them broken in before we leave.

 

[BrerMama]

Bumping to see if anyone has gotten these for women or children and how they liked them. We're ordering next week.

 

[SnackyStacky]

Hi Brer Mama! My fiancée enjoys her. She basically has the same things to say about the women's that I said about the men's. I can't help out with the kids though!

 

[Soupermom]

Our Sears store now sells Land's End, but I haven't been in recently. Has anyone seen them there? It would be a great way to try them on for size/comfort!

 

[SnackyStacky]

Soupermom, I looked at our Sears here in Buffalo, and they didn't have them. I wanted to try them on before I ordered them. But it might vary by store, so I would check before you take my word for it.

hey guys... how do these run? i can wear either a 10 or 11 in women's (i'm 5'11" tall so give me a break... i hate having big feet but they help me not fall over since i'm so tall). anyway do they run true to sneaker sizes or tight/loose?
