Walking shoes, Tava??

[goosedwn]

A while ago, I remember people are recomanding Teva shoes for the parks. I looked up Teva and there are so many different styles. Do anyone know which stores carry Teva sneakers that I can try them on to know what size I wear and how they feel on me? Thanks.

I know that everyone recommends tevas, but I have found a sandal that is much more comfortable!!!! KEEN... they come in various styles and are by far the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned!!!! My whole family wears them now and we won't be switching anytime soon!!! Look them up on zappos.com

Another big vote for KEEN!!!! I LOVE them! I wore them everyday for 10 days on our trip last August - no sore, achy feet. I talked my husband into them, too. My girls love them - wore them straight out of the box with no break in on our weeklong Feb trip to WDW.

Also love Zappos.com!

Just bought some Birks, but they need a breakin, it seems.

I have a pair of tevas (sandals - the teva sneakers/closed shoes are VERY heavy, not good for the parks) and a pair of keens. I like both, but they are different. I can get a pair of good tevas (with the pieces of rubber to guard your feet from the straps rubbing) for $50 or so. Keens are $80-$100. I think Keens are more comfortable, but I will be wearing both on my upcoming trip.

My strategy is to take several pairs of walking shoes (third will be sneakers) and change shoes every time I go back to the hotel. This way you don't get sore or get blisters from wearing the same shoe repeatedly.

If you want to talk to someone who knows about the shoes, I'd go to REI or EMS or some such store to get the proper fit and style you like, even if you order them online later. Just about any outdoors or big athletic type store will sell them both.

Oh, and Tevas are specifically for hiking/canoeing/kayaking, so are made to get wet and dry and still keep you comfortable!

Good luck!
