Anyone wear these for a full day at the park? I'm having feet problem with burning and numbness and trying to find best shoes. I also bought a pair of sauchony shoes a bit big to give toe space but they are a bit snug on the side so concerned the numbness will start. The sketchers feel ok but am wondering if they are enough support.
 
I am wondering about those shoes as well. I've tried them on and they feel great but not sure how they would hold up after a full day in the park. I wore Keens most of the time on my last trip but I need some new tennis shoes for my upcoming December trip.
 
My husband has a pair of the Sketchers Memory foam shoes and absolutely loves them. He has spent a weekend at Mall of America ,where my pedometer logged 8 miles each day, without a foot pain or sore shins. We are planning to buy everybody a pair about a month before our WDW trip so we have time to break them in before we go.
 
I have a pair for work and bought a new pair for our trip. I didn't break them in (risky I know) and my feet never hurt. My husband got a pair as well and loved them. I wish I could find them for my kids.
 

They felt comfy in the store. However, I tried wearing them in the house and not sure they're working for me. But my feet hurt in general now (feet /nerve issues)...so will probably be returning them.

I've been wondering how your feet are feeling :scratchin No improvement?

No...:headache:

I've been running around buying shoes, trying them in the house, and then returning them. So only pair of shoes I have are the Go Walks (although I have yet to return the memory foam ones...may pack them as a back up). Went back to podiatrist yesterday and we're back to square one...ditching the orthotics and starting with regular insert (in my 3 year old runners...which hurt my little toe). So frustrated and hoping my feet are ok in the Go Walk for the trip. Thanks for checking in.

My husband and I each just bought a pair for our trip this weekend. I'll let you know what we think!

I dont have feet issues but after 10 years in the military I have horrible knee issues ( i am not even 30 :sad: ) anyhow.. I own both the Go Walks and the memory foam shoes.. I plan on bringing both to Disney, but right now I think the Go Walks might be the ones I wear for most of the time in the parks. While the memory foam shoes are nice, I wore them in Rome sightseeing and my feet and knees still hurt at the end of the day. Now granted we walked 25 miles that day so that might have had something to do with it... lol but still I am bringing both just in case. I want the memory foam as a back up to my Go Walks in case of water rides, rain storms, or other shoe blow outs.

Hope you find something that works.
 
Thanks. Good idea to bring both, but sounds like the Go Walks are comfier.
I can't decide if I'm going to keep the Memory Foam (I still have the tags on). They still feel odd. SO far, it'll be the Go Walks and we'll see how they last.

Ugh :worried: So sorry to hear that! Crossing my fingers the Go Walks do work for you pixiedust: Whenever you're back in your room at a decent time, fill up the tub and soak them for a bit.............

You leave tomorrow!!:cheer2: I hope you and your family have a wonderful time, best of luck with your feet, and please either write a TR or just come back and post how it all went!

Thank you so much. You've been very supportive with great suggestions.
So I've decided to return the Sketchers Memory Foam. Although soft, they put pressure on the wrong spots. Have replaced the orthotics in my 3 year old runners with regular insoles, but think it'll be mostly the Go Walks. Little toe sore today, but hoping I can ignore it and focus on the fun.
 
Frozen, have you tried Clark's? I got two pairs in anticipation of our Disney trip. My feet bother me a lot, they are often uncomfortable/painful after typical days, so I was worried about what I would find to wear at the parks. I got two pairs of Clark's Wave shoes a couple of weeks ago and love them. I wore one pair (Clark's Treks) to the fair last week and walked all day and my feet weren't even tired afterwards. Every time I put them on, I just can't believe how good they feel.

I hope you find something comfortable!
