Tevas vs Crocs

[aubriee]

I just returned May 22nd from ten days at WDW. I carried Teva Pretty Rugged Leather sandals, Teva Mush flip flops, Croc Beach, and Croc Nile sandals. The first day I wore my Croc Niles and got two small blisters (one just below the big toe on my left foot and one on the tip of the middle toe also on the left foot. For the next two days I had to wear my Teva Pretty Rugged Leather sandals and Teva Mush flip flops. Over the next eight days I tried to alternate the shoes. In order of comfort I have to rank them as follows: #1 Teva Pretty Rugged Leather, a close #2 Teva Mush Flip Flops, a distant #3 Croc Beach, and #4 Croc Nile. I couldn't believe how much more comfortable the Tevas were than the Crocs. To be fair though, I didn't use antiperspirant on my feet the first day like I normally do. The funny thing is that I had been alternating the Tevas with the Crocs at home to walk my dog a couple of miles every day and had no problem with either the Tevas or Crocs. I talked with a lady at my resort who was wearing the Croc Beach model and she told me her daughter had also gotten a blister under her big toe with the Nile model because of the horizontal ridge just under the toes. I only tried the Nile model again on the next to the last day, but thankfully carried the Teva Mush flip flops, because I had to change less than an hour later.

Thank you for the sandal review!!!! I have a pair of Croc beach knock-offs and Mush flip-flops. I was hoping that the Mush worked well because they are comfy as I wear them around...they did ok for me during a 3 mile power walk, but I got two big hot spots about the last 1/2 mile....nothing a little mole skin won't fix! Plus, I won't be walking that fast continuously.

So overall, your Mush handled well? Any other Mush suggestions or comments? THANKS!

I also alternated between Teva leather Pretty Ruggeds, Clark & Champion thongs & Croc Niles in WDW...
I wear Croc Niles & Beaches all the time IRL, but still wound up with a blister on the top of my foot on a day I was wearing the Niles. It was in a spot that all the sandals I brought with me but the Tevas hit, so I was hesitant to blame it on the Niles.... I found it odd that a shoe I wear constantly IRL would cause a blister in WDW

I love how light the Crocs are, but am worried about blistering again. I'll alternate in Aug again & see what happens.....

After a recent trip to Myrtle Beach which involved lots of walking on the beach in my Croc Niles I've decided to take my Tevas to WDW instead. The niles are extremely comfortable at home, but I also got a hot spot from them on the top of my foot when walking for hours at a time - and when they got wet they were slippery 'inside' the shoe - my foot was slipping all around - I had thought they would be great for walking in the parks when it rained, but now I don't think so - just going to depend on my faithful old tevas this trip.

Got to say, though, my Croc clogs have been the best for gardening and outdoor pool work!
