I just read an article that indicated that CROCS are actually good for your feet http://diabetes.webmd.com/features/crocs-healthy-shoes-just-comfy?ecd=wnl_prg_022407

I brought and wore a variety of shoes. I do have feet issues -- several of them: I get extremely hot feet when they are closed up in sneakers for long periods of time. I have plantar faciliatis or whatever it is when your tendon gets to feeling like it will snap and you feel like you've stepped on a stone with your heal. I have to say that I wore TEVAs to Sea World and that worked out really nicely. Most days at WDW, I wore sneakers and socks. That worked fine for me -- I guess that since we went in October, the hot feet weren't so much an issue. I don't actually own crocs -- I'm not a huge fan of them looks-wise. My DD had and wore a knock-off pair for the first several days of the trip. Then she ended up with a small sore just under her ankle from some part of the shoe rubbing. So from then on it was sneaks.

Good luck!

On my last trip I wore Crocs my first full day and they killed my feet. However, I had just purchased them for the trip and hadn't really wore them before. I bought the "Nile" style (open sandal type) and I loved the style thinking my feet could "breathe" all day since it was in the 90's. This time DH and I are going in December but I plan to wear my Crocs all summer and will break them in. I still plan on taking one or two pairs of sneakers with both of my crocs (Khaki and Pearl Nile's).

We switch between sneakers and sandals and crocs. Sneakers and socks are HOT after awhile. So we usually change them for our second 1/2 of the day. It feels so good to put something lighter and cooler on later!
