I am looking for a very supportive slip-on shoe to wear while in the parks. What have you guys found that works well for you?
 
My Disneyland flip flops are the Reef Fanning. I have had this one pair for 5 years, and they still look and feel great. I pretty much only wear them in the parks, but I am sure to pack them for EVERY trip. They are extra cushioned so I can wear them ALL day long in the parks with no problems! My feet, knees and legs in general still feel great at the end of the day. Now that I was looking at them online to give you a link, I noticed they have the Luxe which has GLITTER! I may need to upgrade to those. I think these are the most supportive comfortable flip flops you can find.

...recommened these to me...says they are the only ones he will let his family wear. My daughter is on her second pair...

She has the sport flips... We will be bringing them to the park...

Love my Mickey Fit Flops, also like Tevas but they don't hold up quite as well.
 
My DH and I are huge fans of Montrail Flip Flops.

Oh, I have to agree with Disneylandfanatic: Fanning Reefs are the only way to go! Love mine and always wear them to the Park. No problems at the end of the day.
 
I also vote for Reefs! Love mine and feels great all day!! We're going in Nov so I'll have to wear warmer shoes :(. But I live in AZ and live in my flips!
 
I love Chaco flip flops, plus they come in lots of cute colors. I have two pairs that are on their 3rd year of use and they still look new. I have plantars fasciatis and get tendonitis in my knee if I don't wear something with a supportive arch, these have really done the trick for me.

These! All summer these are the only shoes I have worn (have an interesting foot tan) and my feet have not hurt from long days. One day when we did a lot of walking my legs hurt but not my feet. I cringed at the price but decided to try them and I love them.

ETA - they will be getting a DL test starting on Sunday. Can't wait.
 
Chacos and Orthaheels are my favorites. However, my husband finds both very uncomfortable because of the high arch. He likes Reef and Keen. Merrell has some good ones, too.
 
I have Echo sandals and they're pretty supportive and comfy. My mom has Keens sandals and really loves them. I've heard good things about Merrell, but the ones I tried on didn't work for me.
 
I love my Chacos, been through everything with them before they finally gave out last year (but I had them for 10). I just recently got some crocs, after years of absolutely hating any croc product, and I love them. They don't look goofy and are very supportive.
 
I just went shopping for athletic flips........I ended up with the Reef Fannings. We will see how they work for me in 2 weeks. I plan on wearing them in the house and as much as possible before we go. Fingers (and toes:rotfl:) crossed........

After about half a million phone calls I could not find a single place within 30 miles of my house that sold Reef Fannings. I did NOT want to but them online seeing as we leave in just over a week and I wouldn't have time to exchange them and get new ones before we left. I HAVE to try on a shoe before I'll drop $50+ on them. So I ended up getting some pretty cute crocs flip flops from the crocs stand at the mall. From wearing them around the mall and the house they seem pretty supportive and I will alternate them with my sneakers.
 
I know people bash Crocs, but I got a pair while at DL this summer and they are great! They are the Mickey-head flip Crocs and so comfy. I got one blister between my toes on the first day I wore them, but that was it. I get plantars fasciitis sometimes, so I know good shoes for my feet and these do the trick!
