Shoes for Guys

[eeoconne]

I've been reading some of the posts regarding shoes, but I haven't really seen a ton on the kind of shoes that men wear. My Dad is going with us to Disney and is wondering what kind of shoes he should get. Any suggestions on what guys wear (other then Crocs). Thanks much!!!

The key to selecting the right shoes is to listen to your feet. It doesn't matter what works for others. It only matters what works for your (or your dad's) feet. There is such as variation in each person's size, weight, gait and foot structure that the answer to this question is a highly individualized decision.

Best suggestion is to go to an athletic shoe store in your local mall and try on a large variety of shoes to see which feels better. Be sure to do this later in the day because feet "spread" as you walk around all day. Once you find the pair that feels comfortable as soon as you put them on, you're home free. The only other thing to do is buy two pair and break them both in before you leave for WDW.

I know you said besides crocs, but!! I struggled with blistered feet for several trips to disney trying different types of athletic shows and walking shoes with no success.(newbalance, adidas, reebok...)

I finally caved in and tried a pair of crocs with ankle socks on my last trip in April. This was my first trip that I had ZERO blisters. Yeah I probably looked like a geek, but my feet thanked me and hey, I'll never see these people again right who cares what they think BTW croc also makes some real comfy sandels that have the same sole as the clogs but look just like regualr sandels with velcro closures. I wore these in August to Orlando, (not a disney trip) and had no problems.
