I always carry a pair of flip flops in my backpack to change into before the water rides, then back into the tennis shoes after.  It prevents blisters, and having to walk in wet shoes.  Thought I'd share with my new freinds.

I just wear comfy water shoes.

I wear Keens for the arch support but always pull them too tight for Wildfire and then forget to loosen them, ha!

I wear whatever I feel like. Usually cowboy boots, which makes me really glad I bought those pad/gel things you put in your shoes to keep you from wanting to cut off your feet by the end of the day.
And I bring a pair of flipflops just in case I decide to do ride water rides.

If I'm not wearing cowboy boots, I'm usually barefoot, just sayin' lol

I wear Crocs. I swear by Crocs. I swear by Crocs so much, that even in the winter, I have the un-holed, fur-lined Crocs to wear.

But seriously, I wore Crocs the entire week that my friend and I were at Disney World, and we did all four parks, with two of them (Magic Kingdom and Epcot [the biggest!]) two days. And we spent all day at them. So six days of walking who knows how many miles, and I maybe had two blisters, but only because my toes rub against each other after I broke them a few years ago.

But, yeah, I love Crocs SO much.

I wear the tried and true Chuck Taylors. I heart my hi tops!

I also wear cowboy boots (big suprise, huh) but I wear Ariats that are built with running shoe technology.  A little pricey (I think I found Ariat ropers for about $150 but your feet will appreciate them after walking on that asphalt all day!)

Yep! That's why I have to do the flip flop thing on the water rides and then back to a high arch support afterward.  Hope your dogs stop barkin' soon!

Someday when I'm older my feet will get back at me for wearing flip flops so much (aka at least 9 months out of the year or as long as there isn't snow on the ground--I just hate shoes!). >:(  I've been wearing flip flops to the city for years now, but I'm thinking about getting some water shoes this season. I won't have to worry about taking off my shoes for WF and I'll feel more secure that they won't get kicked off randomly any other time.

Yep that's why I have to change into them I'm 36 and most of my life went barefoot or in flip flops.  Buy a pair of Keen's they are waterproof and VERY comfy.  They are pricey but mine have lasted five + years.  Enjoy!

I've been in ballet and dance my whole life, so I have become immuned to pain in my feet for the most part. That's my excuse when all my friends are like, "How can you handle those boots all day!?"

I just recently bought some Keens but I am also going to pack some Teva's.
They are great sandals that will be secure on your feet all day (and very comfortable) but will also be completely fine in any water!

I wear OlaKai Ohana flip flops. They are expensive but they have arch support and are very good if you have foot/back problems. I have just this year grown used to wearing Nike running shoes, but the OlaKai are my favorite shoes. I wore them for 2 solid weeks at Disney last year and had no problems with them. I have had a bout with plantar fascitis and one with sciatica and need arch support. (The sciatica was during a time I solely wore the Nikes, by the way.)
