My husband and I are runners, but I love flip flops. Is Disney World doable in flip flops? If not I can break out my gear but otherwise would prefer not to...

Most importantly no new anything, that is just asking for blisters. I usually go with my incredibly ugly crocs because I never get blisters and they dry so quick and easy. They are however very ugly.

Personally, I like to have flip flops on too...however I can't wear them all the time or my feet would be destroyed. My last trip, I bought the New Balance m890v4's which were fantastic during the day. They were super light, really breathable, and offered me a lot of support. I'd wear them for most of the day (morning to afternoon).
If I was going to go back to the resort for a couple of hours to change, go out for dinner, and then to a show like fantasmic, for example... and just have a slow relaxing evening, I would wear my flip flops.
I like being able to take off my shoes and wear something like a flip flop in the evening cause it just feel so good for my feet personally.

My mom still calls them by another word...which is a form of extremely small ladies undergarment. Every time she talks about wearing them, I say, "Flip flops! They're called flip flops now! You can't call them that anymore!"

I like wearing flip flops to, but wear them at the park all day and you're likely to get blisters on the bottoms of your feet. I'd recommend something more solid, the only advantage of flip flops is on wet rides

Sketchers GoWalk have my vote although Sketchers, in my experience, tend to wear out or flat out fall apart quicker than other brands.

Walking into a shop after your 'flip flops' broke and ask for a new pair.... can bring an unique look or two to staff members faces. It may take a day or two while traveling but then boom im in the habbit of calling them flip flops.
the difference amuses me while traveling abroad.

Would never consider flip flops. No support, not enough padding. I always wear well broke in sneakers with a new pair of gel insoles and usually wear two pair of socks. The extra socks, for me, help prevent blisters, a trick someone told me years ago. Yeah, it's kinda hot, but I'll take hot over blisters.

We average 10 miles a day. I have extremely comfortable reef flip flops I can wear, but there is no support. I have aching feet if I go too many days wothout shoes. Best thing I've found is to alternate shoes and comfy flip flops.

memory foam flip flops are fine, not if you are going park-commando though
I guess I'm bringing my running gear. Thanks everyone. I really want to avoid buying new shoes for this trip.
