To Flip Flop? Or not to Flip Flop?

Heck no to flip flops - my feet would be killing me! I remember hearing somewhere (maybe on a WDW Today) that someone had a pedometer on at Disney and they average over six miles a day. No way will I do that in anything but sneakers!

I cant stand flip flops. The noise they create is like nails on a chalk board to me. Dont know why... but oh man they annoy me. I just use my normal shoes... lol

I have to admit, I am one of those flip flop people. It is just to darn hot to wear anything else in Disney. I have tried sneakers but can not stand more than one day in them. Now regarding the noise flip flops can make....I have heard that noise but not all flip flops or maybe the wearer makes that noise when wearing them. I do not or at least I do not think I do.

Sports sandals and flip flops (croc flip flops are awesome)

They always look comfortable when other people wear them. For me the kind where they go between the toes makes my toes hurt. I do have a lovely pair of beach sandals, but they're reserved for when I visit Hawaii.

I always wear trainers (you'd call them sneakers) with mesh fabric uppers. A friend swears by crocs and won't wear anything else.

I won't even wear flip-flops round the pool, they just never seem to stay on my feet!

I just wore my sport sandles during the day and if I went to the pool in the morning or evening I wore my flip flops.
I dont think I could wear sneakers in florida. It just gets way too hot for me.

Normally I'd say sneakers all the way, but having had major ankle reconstuction in Sept '09 I had to find flip flops with major support just so I could stand in the shower.

Orthaheal makes great flip flops that have a bit in arch support, are a thicker sole and are super comfortable. Theu also have a footbed that is longer than most flip flops and round up around your foot so they don't slide off. I haven't done wdw in them yet, but wear them (and their clog version) all the time. All of their shoes have the same footbed so you can switch up the style, but not the comfort. For a long time my heal hurt too much to wear shoes with a back so I wore those flip flops everywhere, including to the Boardwalk in Wildwood, NJ. If you've ever walked it, you know it's a LONG boardwalk (It has more rides than Disneyland.)My feet felt great (well as much as the reconstucted one can as it's still healing).
I think I'd try them in wdw.

I am a flip flop lover but my feet get sore if I wear them for to long so I wear tennis shoes at Disney

Agreed about the heat! I always wonder how people don't overheat in their running shoes. I have 2 pairs of Havaianas (a Brazillian flip flop) and they're fantastic.

I also recognize the need for a sandal with more support. I also own a great pair of sandals by ecco, but other great brands are Mephisto, Birkenstock, Clarks, Naot, and Keen. Those sandals are wonderful and are often used by people with orthotics.

I think all flip flops should be illegal. I HATE feet! I cant stand seeing them! I hate the summer because people wear sandals and flip flops.
I hate that people dont get the right size, and their toes hang over and grip on to the front of the flip flop. I hate that people dont take care of their feet and I can see their scaley and cracked heels. I hate that people dont see a podiatrist when they have a thick ugly black or yellow toenail. I dont want to see all that mess!

yuck.

Do you hate feet or just badly taken care of ugly feet?lol

pretty much all feet. I will find something to complain about on any foot. "eww that 2nd toe is way longer than the big toe!!" or "ewww their toes look like foot fingers!" or "why do those toes curl up like that??"

yuck.
