The best shoes for boys?

[*WeLuvDisney*]

We are heading WDW for our second trip in June. I have ordered Crocs for myself and my 2 dds. My ds will not wear them. Last summer he wore his Nike Shox. They were ok, but I would like to get him something really comfortable to wear. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Although I have not tried them, I have heard great things about Keen Sandals. I am going to get my son a pair of them and also try to get him to wear a pair of crocs. I have a feeling he might not like those either though.

I have Keen's and they are awesome. My boys usually wear Teva Sandals, but next spring I am getting them Keen's.

We always get our ds2 shoes at Stride Rite. He has extra wide feet. He did WDW with his Stride Rite sandals and never had a blister or complained that his feet were hurting!

Our entire family wears Teva sandals during the summer months with great success.

The Keens are nice but I & DD ( when not wearing her crocs) have SOLOMEN water shoes They are great very light with great support .mesh for water dispersement and the Heal in the pairs we have convert to a mull type shoe.I also have Teva watershoes as well and they are also nice.

I was considering buying Keen's, as well. Do the kids' feet sweat in these? Do they wear them w/ socks or barefooted?

Both depending on weather and if they are prone to blisters.But barefoot is fine.

As for the sweating no different then other sandle type shoes they are just better build and have toe protection.

I guess I should have asked if the Keen's are made of leather which absorb the sweat. They look to be similar to Crocs which are more of a light foam rubber material. Zappos seems to have pretty good prices w/ free shipping. If anyone has found better prices, PLMK.

Thanks so much for your help.

My son (9) had a pair last summer. We live in TX so he wore them without socks. he hated them and wouldn't wear them because he said his feet sweat in them. I wished he had liked them because they were like a tennis shoe and sandal all in one.

I just got a pair of Keen's from my DH. I think I will like them. But in the past we have always worn Tevas- the entire family(except DH who always needs to be the oldball....he knows better ect... so this year I have to wear "his" shoes too. I hope they are comfy) I think I will get the kids Tevas again- or maybe the Merrel shoe I am pretty sure they make a summer jungle moc
