Payless Airwalks vs Croc Niles and 6 days at WDW

[lynlam]

okay, So...We just came back from our trip this weekend. 6 days in the parks. I took with me TWO pair of the Payless Airwalks and one pair of Croc Niles. I wore the Airwalks the first three days and LOVED them. Not a single blister, my feet felt as fresh at the end of the day as they did at the begining. So...on day 4, our first full day at MK, I decided to wear my Niles, since they went really well with the outfit I was wearing . BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE
Within Two hours, my feet were positively KILLING me!!! They were throbbing and I was starting to get rub spots on the top of my right foot and a blister on the pinkie of my left. Unbelieveable. I did wear them around the house a lot before we left, put them in the dryer to stretch them just a bit, etc. Thought they were good to go. Was i wrong. Put a huge damper on the rest of my day at MK. The next day it was back to my Airwalks, but I had to put bandaids all over the spots on my feet where the crocs had rubbed. I felt much better, but was so mad at myself for changing shoes mid week! Never again. My airwalks will be my constand companions for the rest of my life! LOL.
Gonna go buy up all they have tomorrow!

Huh! Interesting, I think Crocs are too ugly to pay $29 for just to wear at WDW. I might not mind paying for Airwalks if the price is right. So did you wear them with socks?

 

[lynlam]

NO! No socks!! I have worn them around OH with Socks, but not at WDW last week.

I almost bought myself a pair of Airwalks a couple weeks ago and now I'm regretting it a little. My only question is if it's too hot and humid for those shoes in August? I can't picture myself ever wearing them in public with socks, but I've heard that they can make your feet sweaty and someone wrote that they can actually make a noise when you walk in them with sweaty feet. Are any of these things true?

i just bought mine (the croc clogs~ the slip on kind)this past weekend, and i don't think i will ever need my other shoes again!
we went up north to great wolf lodge (indoor water park), and they definatley squeaked when my feet were wet. people could hear me coming from a mile away! i got to the hotel room, and slipped them off, rubbed my feet on carpet to dry them a bit, and the squeek was gone. but i didn't care! they are sooooo comfy! i finally found my dd a pair of the airwalks (payless) and she loves them too. when she stops growing so fast i will get her the real crocs.

i love them!!
