Husband and our two sons all wear skechers trainers. They take several pairs, different styles and have never had blisters ever.

Buy them from Sports Direct as they are far cheaper than the Skechers shop. Once you know your size just order them online either Sports Direct or Amazon as there is far more choice.

Dh's last ones were about £38, he is a size 11.

I always find it amusing when people talk about things not looking fashionable for Disney, a place where people wear mouse ears on their heads and bum bags round their waists

Skechers go walk's will be great for the parks,

I personally just wear my usual trainers (Nike) and have no issues, but the DW swears by her go walks for the parks.

I tend to wear lightweight trainers and small trainer-liner socks.

Any decent lightweight running shoe is good, I wear new balance ones with trainer socks and not had any problems.

I made the mistake of going to MK for a couple of hours to watch happily ever after in flip flops last year after we had had dinner at Olivia's at okw and as the bus was there I couldn't be bothered to go back to our room and change I certainly wouldn't recommend going in flip flops.

My husband finds the most embarrassing pair of trainers he can and wears those. The more garish, patterned and out of fashion, the better. I think it's hilarious but the teenagers don't

Did you know that the holes in crocks actually serve a purpose. It’s so you can watch your dignity run out. Sorry to all crocks wearers.
As for keeping trainers in the fridge. NO. Can’t just be me surely. Come on , people keep beer in there. Please don’t put your footwear in beside it. Even if you put it in a zip seal bag it’d need two people so as not to contaminate the outside of the bag with whatever hand handled the shoes. 🤭

I think that socks and sandals is a peculiar British fashion statement.

New balance trainers, never normally wear this brand except on holidays when walking is involved.
