Which of these shoe brands?

[CaryHaven]

Which of these brands is your favorite? I've read a lot of DISers like these brands, but there may be others that you suggest. I understand crocs run a little bit narrow, and that's not good for my feet, having recently had bunion surgery and surgery for plantar fascitis.

*third option should say Teva. IPad is acting wonky, can't edit.

This October, I had my newer Sketchers Go Walk (broken in) and a pair of Keens I had worn on a previous visit. I wore the Sketchers once & the Keens for the rest of the trip. I found the Keens gave me more support. My husband also wore his older Keens. I recommend you bring more than one pair of shoes you've broken in and see which one works best for you.

Can't go wrong with Keens!!! Even when we were there in August and I was 19 weeks pregnant, they were the most comfortable of the 3 pairs I brought. Love my Keens! My whole family has them and loves them.

I started having feet issues just before our trip....little toe rubbing, side foot pain and burning in my feet. Very stressful having these issues just before Disney will all the walking! I had heard of the Sketchers Go Walks from here so I bought a pair. Also tried to find a good supportive running shoe since I didn't know if the Go Walks would work for 5 days in a row. But with my issues, I bought 5-6 pairs, tried them at home and returned the them all (over a period of 3 weeks). The only shoe that was comfortable were those Go Walks....and they did wonders on our trip. Love them! (But everyone is different so what works for one may not work for another)

REEFS all the way!

I voted other. As ugly as they are CROCS are the best thing for my feet at Disney World.

I'm a nurse and wear Brooks running shoes. They are the best shoes! I am on my feet from 6:45 pm until 7:30 am and my feet never hurt after a shift! They are quite expensive (at least $90) but more than worth the price! I have 4 pairs and haven't been disappointed yet.

I love the GoWalks. They're pretty much all I wear anymore. I have 5 pairs or some ridiculous amount.

 

[Alesia]

I have wide feet and have never had a problem with crocs being too narrow.

You really just need to try shoes on. What works for one person will be miserable for another.

 

[linzjane88]

My vote is for Crocs. I got the Huarache style sandal and they are amazing for Disney. I have fairly wide feet but the TPU material is stretchy so it never rubs. They don't have a ton of arch supportand are more in line with a nicer flip flop but I swear everybody should have at least one pair.

Mine have spent 22 days this year so far aggresivel touring Disney/Florida and they have yet to leave me with a blister.

I like Asics for lots of walking. This last Disney trip my mom and I both wore Asics and really felt a difference. Our feet felt better than normal at the end of the trip.

 

[Planogirl]

I'll go with Te a. I love their flip flops and sandals.

 

[MomofKatie]

For me, the key to keeping my feet happy is to switch it up. I bring at least 3-4 different pairs of shoes for each trip and never wear the same pair for longer than a full day. Most days, I switch shoes in the middle of the day, just so I don't develop hot spots or achy places.

The brand/type of shoes that come with me on every WDW trip:

Crocs classic clogs (usually 2 different pairs, and I wear them with moisture wicking ankle socks-ugly but effective)
Yellow Box flip flops
Rocket Dog flip flops
Crocs flip flops

Skechers. Not the Go Walks (they don't have as much memory foam as other Skechers sneakers). I wear Go Walks a lot, but not for all-day walking like a WDW trip.

I tried this pair for my February trip this year:

http://www.skechers.com/style/11792/synergy-a-lister/nvbl

They have a really thick layer of memory foam in the footbed - probably 3 times the amount of memory foam than Go Walks. They're amazingly comfortable, right out of the box! I have a number of foot problems (surgeries on both feet over the last four years). With these Skechers A-Lister sneakers, I wore them every day, all day, at WDW, and didn't have a single bit of foot pain.

 

[ilovebassets]

None of the above.

I'm a Clarks and Ecco person myself. No reason you can't be comfortable and reasonably stylish

 

[WDWFan06]

I really like Merrell.

 

[ArwenMarie]

These are the best sneakers for WDW (IMHO)

They only come in youth sizes so they won't work for you if your foot is over a certain size.

I wear the Youth 4 U.S. in these and I wear a 6.5 in regular women's. I think I have the Speed.

You can get them on Amazon and I think Zappos.

 

[lisah0711]

I really like Merrell.

Another vote for Merrell! They come in wide widths and together with orthotics took care of my plantar faciitis. Good luck to you!

 

[W.E.D.]

I voted for Other.

I always get a new pair of Merrills before we visit and they have never failed me. They stretch, breathe, and dry out really fast after water rides.

I just got my first pair of Skechers about 2 months ago. They are the Athletics line and they also have the thick memory foam. I really like them so far. Next week I will be trying them out at the parks.
