Shoes in Disney for heel pain?

[dismom9761]

I have Sketchers lite material with a memory foam worked great last week. Also Clark's sandals I got off HSN but they have hem in the store with a cross Velcro strap and slight foam. I added heel pad. Then, I have my Crocs Mary Janes. I need to switch off shoes mid day. Even the Nike with the memory foam were great, but any one of them all day killed me.

I should have worn the sneakers with memory foam a few weeks before. I wore them but not long periods....they rubbed at the top of my ankle. I put a moleskin in the back heel and blister bandaid with over the ankle sock the next time I spent he day in them.
I love gel pads in the heels, but the memory foam n sole conquered the heel impact or me.

I have broken all the metatarsals in both feet as well as both ankles in a car accident in '85 and have had lots of trouble with my feet ever since. Birkenstocks are about the only shoes I can wear, they are excellent for heel pain, they have what is called a heel cup and it pushes the natural fat pads on your heel under the bone for natural cushion. If you do try some, be sure to wear them at least a month before your trip because there can be a break in time.

Do yourself a favor and get some keens!!! We went to the local shoe store in search of Teva's and were advised by the salesman to try the Keens. I was not thrilled that he wanted to change my mind, but could not thank him enough for talking me into Keens. Our entire family now wears keen sandals every trip!!! We also take our I Sqeeze massager from brookstone. My feet were hurting so bad I had to roll out of bed on to my knees until I could stretch them out enough to stand. The I Sqeeze fixed that problem as well. Hope this helps! Whatever you go with, will feel better in Disney!!! Have a blast.

Thanks everyone!
