Teva Stratums or Spoiler 2 ? Best for walking?

[daisylove]

I dont want to be a nudge because I did ask this inside another thread but I think it was a little ot there and did not want to bother them.

Does anyone have opinions on these sandals? I need support for walking - Plantar facissitis (sp?) in right foot. The hurricanes hurt when I tried them on - forget walking around. The stratums seem ok but not sure of WDW long term type walking. Just got at our local Ross store Spoiler 2 (not III) for $19.99. (Ross eems to have quite a bit of TEVAs now at that price) Since it seems Spoiler III are the type being sold now by TEVA itself I cant get any information on what the 2s are like. Anyone??? Are these good walking sandals or should I just take my CROCS?

PS Is it just me or do we need a smilie w ith shoes on for all these shoe threads?

anyone?

The only Tevas I'll wear for the parks are the Kenetics. The hurricanes are not comfortable at all. I've never heard of the Spoilers.

Thanks for replying. I already have the two listed and I am hoping to get info on them. Hopefully good news that one of them is great for walking so I do not shell out more $$.

daisylove,
I wish I could be of help but the only Tevas I have (love 'em!) are the Pretty Rugged Leather ones.

Need a shoe smilie? Try one of these!

Thats so funny. I have been thinking lately that I need a shoe smilie with all the shoe threads. Thanks! Now I just have to figure out how to copy it.

Did you ever purchase them? I'm thinking of getting the Spoilers but was unsure.....

I did get the Spoilers. $19.99 at Ross. Then I waited until the end of the day after wearing heels teaching all day. My feet were miserable. Then I tried my Stratums on and they hurt the area near my heel wihere Plantar Facsitis(sp?) acts up and where I now apparently have a cyst. No way would I wear them at the parks. Then tried my Spoilers and you know that they felt pretty good. Did not make my tired feet worse and no pain. So there you have it. My very Scientific test to answer my own question on Spoilers v. Stratums. Hope it helps.

Thank you and yes that helps. I'm going to get a pair and hopefully I'll have great luck with them in the parks!

I finially broke down and tried another pair (the leather ones I tried before hurt my feet). The new ones hurt at the ankle! I tried wearing them today and after 20 minutes I had a sore ankle. Is there a thread somewhere that told how to fit them???
