Your favorite shoes for the parks?

I wear Sanuk yoga mat flip flops. I am a weird person, and athletic style shoes hurt my feet. I have worn them for multiple trips, for weeks at a time, and have never had issues. (I am on my feet 90% of the time at work, however, so I am really used to walking and being on my feet.)
 
I alternate Clarks flip flops with brooks running sneakers in different days. I never have sore feet this way.
 
I really really wanted to love my Chacos but my feet hate them!! The arch support and textured footbed was too much. I love sanuk yoga mat flip flops but not sure if I could survive a full day in the park with them. I'm looking for something other than tennis shoes for December. Right now I'm debating Born sandals. Want something cute but very comfortable too which is hard to find!!
 
Keens sandals. They are as comfortable as sneakers and if they get wet (from a sudden rainstorm, or splash mountain, or an unexpected wave on PotC) they will dry quickly and still be comfortable.
 

I just got my first Keens to break them in way in advance of our October trip and I love them! Now I'm looking for a second, non-Keen shoe to swap out- I've seen a few people and sites suggesting that, and besides, I want a second shoe color for my Disneybounding :laundy:
 
I wore sketchers walkers and wife wore flops .. kids wore flops and sketchers go walks.. we had no issues with our feet
 
I alternate between cheap flip flops and Clarks sandles. Pretty much all of my family wears flip flops.

I wore Reef flip flops in the parks. They are awesome! I also wore Sketchers Go Walks. It's like walking on a cloud :)
 
I alternate between a retired pair of running shoes (well loved and broken-in) and a pair of Birkenstocks Gizeh style. They're pricey, but came at the recommendation of a podiatrist who advised if you're going to wear sandals, these offer fantastic support. I've seen them on sale a few times at Nordstrom Rack (and outlet style place) and also online at a few places... even Ebay.

I wear my Sketchers with memory foam. I have three pair and they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn!
I just bought my first pair of Sketchers Gowalks due to reading these forums and can't believe what I've been missing. I absolutely love them and will be definitely buying a couple more pairs.
 
Keens are very good and I wear Kadee Crocs (I have 3 different colors: Brown, Navy and Wild Cheetah)
 
Keens, Tevas or any good walking/waterproof sandal with a tennis shoe sole.
 
I wore New Balance 990 series last time (I think they were 993s). As a bonus, if you're into American-made products, these shoes are made in the USA!!
 
Another vote for Keens. Our whole family wears them all day long without issue, rain or shine.
 
I switch it up between my Skechers Go Walks and my Sanuk yoga mat flip flops. Both are super comfy but the sanuks get kinda gross if they get wet.
 
My sandals are Keens and Merrells. Anything that has good arch support and comfort. You are on your feet a lot, and sometimes walking up to 10 miles a day... I never understand how people can wear flip-flops at the parks!
 
I wore Keen Bryce shoes during our last trip, and still had blisters. We went to the Orlando outlets to buy Crocs. Probably should have packed them from the start. In a fit of blistered frustration, I ordered a pair of Tieks after a recent trip to Washington DC. Looking forward to trying out the Tieks in WDW this January.
