Summer shoes for the parks

I have no idea what forum I should put this in, where’s the one for clothes and shoes?? Lol

What other waterproof sandals do you like besides Keens? I have too high of an instep for Keens to work, they are too tight and so uncomfortable. I want something similar though. I’m at a loss!

If you wear the Keens Bali, you may want to try Vionics. They have a heel cup, arch support and are actually an orthotic type but have a very feminine feel and look. I literally live In them year round. I have many pairs/styles/colors. I Wear them to Disney, with no issues. ( tho they do say that someone that is not used to arch support may need a bit of break in time. ( I get some online at Qvc) or local stores. Be sure to read the “ fit”. Most often the 1/2 sizes, size down.

Comfy and pretty! I prefer the non sueded footbed, thong style sandal.
Good luck!

I moved you to the Disney Word Tips forum.

But to add my advice per DW.... "Merrills are the most comfortable park sandals on earth, followed by Keens."

I wear Choco sandals at times, but wow, make sure they are broken in and adjusted right.

YMMV!

I love Sanuk flip flops. They are soft on the heel but have good arch support because they mold to your foot. As someone with plantar fasciitis, those are two important things.

I've tried wearing Keens and Chacos before and for me, I think they're really uncomfortable. But my feet are pretty flat. I had a pair of Birkenstocks once (never wore them to a theme park though) that I was never really able to get used to because the arch support was too high for my foot.

However, I love the new Tevas that I picked up recently. I haven't worn them all day in a theme park yet, though. I'm going to practice with some longer distance walking in them to see how they do.

We're diehard Keene fans at my house, but my sis swears by Chacos for her high arches.

Bought Columbia drainmaker sneakers 2 years ago for our trip. Worked amazing and they are still holding up.

I like my Teva Zirras,( especially in the rain) my Merrills and I just got some Vionics that seem really comfortable

 

[DizneyMommy]

What Merrills are you guys wearing?

My kids live in Keen Newport or H2’s at the parks and they work awesome for them, just not me. I did WDW in really good flip flops last time, which I’m tempted to do again. I have a few nice pairs of Olukai that feel amazing.

Chacos for me. After 11 years of trying many different shoes those are finally my favorite.
