    Default Year of 100 Questions: #90

    Time for a shoe question, and no, I'm not putting high heels on the list. Sometimes I see high heels on Main St. and just don't get it. Oh well...

    While in Disney Parks, do you wear sneakers (basketball shoes, cross trainers, running shoes, etc.) or sandals (Teva's and clones, flip-flops, Crocs and clones, etc.)?

    I'll try to post #91 (Theme Parks) and #92 (accommodations) over the weekend...

    The true answer for me is "both". For years, I wore exclusively sneakers. Over my last couple of trips, I've switched more to sandals - easier on the feet if you get wet!

    I always wear flip flops. Usually I don't even pack sneakers.

    I hate wearing any kind of shoes. If I had my choice, I would go barefoot. Since that is not allowed, flip-flops or some of those new hiking type sandals may be what I will be looking into.

    I always wear tennis shoes. My feet get way too tired in just an hour with sandals.

    What about both? Two trips ago, I wore strictly sneakers. Last trip I wore Rainbow flip-flops and sneakers. I love the sandles but after about 2-3 days of that much walking, my feet begin to need a little more support and comfort so I resort to the sneakers. It really is a toss up for me.

    Crocs for me!!!

    I find sneakers to be too hot & make my feet feel heavy and flip flops hurt the space between my toes. The Crocs are light, yet supportive - my feet never hurt no matter how many days I wear them or how much walking I do!

    I really don't get the high heels, either. Who are they trying to impress? I mean, Mickey is already taken! Seriously, I wear sneakers at every park except AK. I KNOW my feet are getting wet at AK. I also have to admit that I really, really hate feet, too. Another thing I have in common with mrsgaribaldi!!

    We were always wearing our sneakers until we discovered the love for crocs. I wear crocs at work and never thought about at WDW until they came out with the new disney line, so we bought them. I love them. My legs and feet do not ache at the end of the night. LOVE THEM!!

    I went with sandals, and this was a big change for me. We did a nice leisurely strolling vacation this past trip, but when we are in the comando type mode, we go with sneakers without a doubt.

    Sandals always rub blisters on my feet if I wear them for a long period of time (no matter how comfortable they may be). I can't imagine walking around the parks in them.

    I agree about the man feet, and think men shouldn't be allowed to wear sandals under penalty of death. (Just joking about the death part.) I'm on the other end of the spectrum with women's feet, which I find strangely attractive. Weird, I know, but not uncommon.

    New Balance walking shoes/sneakers are the way to go. I wouldn't wear any other brand to WDW.

    I put sandals, but really I wear both. You all will think I am crazy, but most of the time I am in flip flops. I bring sneakers and WDW is probably the ONLY place I wear them outside of the gym. My feet just get so hot that I am more comfortable in flip flops - and honestly, regardless of footwear, my feet hurt at the end of the day!
