Can anyone recommend good walking shoes for WDW and Universal
I would welcome any advice as to what kind of shoes people have had good luck with at Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando. We are going in a few weeks and we have been before but now our kids are all into the water rides where as they weren't before. My DH says our good old tennis shoes and socks worked last time and they should be OK this time as well. However, we never had to worry about getting wet before and I really am not looking forward to walking around all day with wet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], squishy feet. Also,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we are not staying on site so it wouldn't be feasible for us to go back to the hotel and change. We are especially go to be at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure because we got the 7 day passes and they have the most water rides.
Has anyone worn Crocs or similar shoes with success there? We all have them (except DH!) and I find them not so attractive but very comfy and breathable-not to mention waterproof! Any thoughts?
I have been going to WDW and Universal for 11 years straight. I go during the christmas season so you know the parks are chaotic with people. I have even gone twice in August so I know about the sudden showers that pop up in the spare of the moment so believe me when I tell I know what shoes work and what are a nightmare! Please do yourself a favor and get yourself the nike or new balance walking shoes. Get them in the next half size because your feet are going to sweat and swell up because of the heat and the amount of walking your going to do. Whatever you decide get the best shoes for your budget because you will be spending alot of time in them,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. As far as the water rides there are some great water shoes I saw in the Eddie Bauer catalog that were about thirty dollars. The look really comfy and have good traction,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Enjoy your trip,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]!
Having been at WDW just 2 weeks ago, and experiencing the wonderful water parks in July heat,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I would recommend some type of water/hiking sneaker that becoming popular. They're similar to sneakers or lightweight hiking shoes, but have holes cut into the sides for breathability, and even drainage holes in the sneaker-padded soles. You can wear these types of shoes with socks, but the point is to keep your feet from staying wet all day,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and socks defeat that purpose.
Before we went, we purchased some from Lands' End, and they have a great selection for both adults and kids. They had specially treated insoles to prevent odor,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and were very comfortable. While there, I saw several families wearing crocs, and WDW even sells some with tiny Mickey patterns on them for airholes, but I am not a croc fan. It seems like water and or perspiration could cause blisters in crocs, but I don't wear them so that is just a suspicion.
Whatever you end up wearing (and I highly suggest the water sneaker type!),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], try to break them in a little before you wear them. You will not want to have ill-fitting shoes on your feet with all the walking ahead of you. Have a great time!
I worn my normal every-day sneakers at WDW every time I gone. I always go on the Water Rides, and haven yet had the squishy shoe problem. On Splash Mountain, the water tends to come at you horizontally, and so it really just your face and stomach that get wet. On Kali River Rapids, there is a bar in the center of the raft that you can (and should) put your feet on as you go down the big drop. And that really about it as far as water rides at Disney.
Unfortunately,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I haven been to Universal or IoA yet, so I can offer any advice on water rides at those parks.
I have seen many people walk the parks with their crocs, so if you go that route, you won be alone at the very least. I would rather strongly suggest you not worry about the "fashionable" aspect of the shoe - remember that (1) you never going to see any of the people you meet there ever again, and (2) You will frequently spot 30-year-old tatooed biker dudes wearing Mickey Ears on their heads.

Disney is not a place to be concerned with how you look. Smile
