They work with socks or without.</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/product/7507058/color/76899" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/product/7507058/color/76899</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yet-another-shoe-question-#post-58562 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 02:11:12 +0000 Dani 58562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brianna, unfortunately, I can't picture the Eccos with socks and I don't think it would be wise for me to do that much walking without socks. Converse (I've been told) aren't to be worn with clams or shorts at my age. Unfortunately, for me cons are not comfy enough, even with an insole, to do that much walking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yet-another-shoe-question-#post-58561 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 02:04:22 +0000 Ariadne 58561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with everyone else, although if you could afford the Ecco skimmers I'd totally go for those above the Merrils (I love the yellow ones). Are Cons really not comfy enough if you wore them with an insole? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yet-another-shoe-question-#post-58555 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 01:41:09 +0000 Dani 58555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No worries, Maya!! You make complete sense and I didn't take your post to be too harsh at all. </p> <p>I'm planning to wear walking shorts/clam diggers and knit or mesh sweet pea style tops so hopefully my shoes will be the only thing that I wouldn't wear at home on an excursion out and about on a regular basis. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yet-another-shoe-question-#post-58499 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 20:46:38 +0000 Maya 58499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I would never encourage that Dani! But like Merry said, wearing clothes that actually fit will keep you miles above the rest from the get-go. Some well-fitting jeans, knit tops (ideally sleeveless), a stylish bag for all your stuff, and some shoes like the ones Kendra wore, and you'll be right where you need to be.</p> <p>I re-read my post and I suppose I spoke more harshly than I meant to: definitely don't chuck fashion all together and look like a slob, I just meant you might have to dress down a lot from what you're used to. As long as you look put-together, clean, and well-groomed (which I know you will), you'll look great. You may not be fashionable, but you'll be stylish. Does that make sense? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yet-another-shoe-question-#post-58490 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 19:34:09 +0000 merry77 58490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another one here saying go with trainers. Comfort is of utmost importance on an excursion like Disney. And for the style quotient, if you are wearing clothes that actually fit you, you will be better dressed than at least half the people there If the rest of your outfit is fab, you'll be far ahead of the rest.</p> <p>Like Maya said, you can switch to something nicer for dinner in the evenings or any side excursions you might take during the trip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yet-another-shoe-question-#post-58489 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 19:33:04 +0000 Lee Hovey 58489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, now THAT certainly is a challenge. Especially with children in tow, you always have to carry so much more like bandaids, sunblick, snacks, etc.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yet-another-shoe-question-#post-58484 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 19:14:46 +0000 Dani 58484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks guys. Maya, I will wear socks (very low cut ankle socks) with the second one's I posted where they completely didn't work with the very first pair. I can walk for miles in Merrells. </p> <p>Thanks for the perspective check! This really is a time to be concerned about gear and proper footwear. I don't think I'll be chucking all my fashion sense out the window, but I didn't want to end up on one of those do's and don'ts websites either. I'm definitely not going to be wearing a fanny pack!!! My next goal is to find a bag that will allow me to haul stuff and ride rides without succumbing to the dreaded fanny pack. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yet-another-shoe-question-#post-58473 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 18:19:38 +0000 Maya 58473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually don't see much of a difference between the first shoes you posted and the second two. Wouldn't you be wearing all of them without socks? </p> <p>I'd just wear sneakers. It's Disneyland, an amusement park, so I don't think the style quotient is going to be all that high. You're going to be doing lots of walking and activities, which tells me now is not the time to be concerned with style. It's like working out--you need to wear the right gear.</p> <p>Don't ruin your trip with blisters and painful shoes. Sometimes fashion is an inconvenience (sorry Angie!). I think Kendra has the right idea with the shoes she chose. They're not overly athletic but not as nonfunctional as Cons, and you can still probably keep the rest of your outfit looking cute and casual without having to resort to sweats. You might get a chance to wear something nicer in the evening, out to dinner perhaps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yet-another-shoe-question-#post-58407 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 14:29:48 +0000 Lee Hovey 58407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would also just go with function and just wear trainers, but maybe to make yourself feel better buy a new pair of trainers that are a little more stylish than basic running shoes but still have alot of support.</p> <p>Like pumas:<br /> <a href="http://www.famousfootwear.com/product.asp?product_id=1017948&#038;variant_id=72077" rel="nofollow">http://www.famousfootwear.com/.....t_id=72077</a></p> <p>Ked's Tennies:<br /> <a href="http://www.famousfootwear.com/product.asp?product_id=1015998&#038;variant_id=69390" rel="nofollow">http://www.famousfootwear.com/.....t_id=69390</a></p> <p>Nike Air<br /> <a href="http://www.famousfootwear.com/product.asp?product_id=1017279&#038;variant_id=72084" rel="nofollow">http://www.famousfootwear.com/.....t_id=72084</a></p> <p>Skechers<br /> <a href="http://www.famousfootwear.com/product.asp?product_id=1017735&#038;variant_id=72708" rel="nofollow">http://www.famousfootwear.com/.....t_id=72708</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yet-another-shoe-question-#post-58401 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 14:08:19 +0000 Laura 58401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and the Eccos also come in a Mary Jane style:</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/product/7500424/color/182788" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/product/7500424/color/182788</a></p> <p>Here's the Ecco skimmer:</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/product/7500384/color/182764" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/product/7500384/color/182764</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yet-another-shoe-question-#post-58400 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 14:02:33 +0000 Laura 58400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you looked at the Ecco skimmers that Tara bought (they were in my momwear post)? They are expensive, but Tara said they are really nice. Eccos are such wonderful, comfortable shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yet-another-shoe-question-#post-58399 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 14:00:48 +0000 Debbie 58399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually wore trainers the whole time in Disneyworld and was glad I did. No one could care less what I was wearing there and I HAD to be comfortable to last all day.</p> <p>We seriously walked for 10+ hours a day. I had to have my socks, orthotics and gear shoes---(sorry YLF!) to keep up with my teens!</p> <p>Even my stylish teen daughters wore cute trainers.</p> <p>I obsessed over this before the trip and was glad I went with function once I got there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yet-another-shoe-question-#post-58369 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 03:40:20 +0000 anne 58369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn't attempt that much walking with socks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yet-another-shoe-question-#post-58357 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 02:18:36 +0000 JewelryGirl 58357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you're going to be walking all over Disney for hours on hours I'd definitely go for function. Any of them should do the trick (as long as they are comfy for you) &#38; you'll likely find other casual places you can wear them once you have them. Have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yet-another-shoe-question-#post-58351 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 02:05:52 +0000 Dani 58351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I promise to get my mind onto other things besides shoes! I have a problem...I'm going to Disney and will be walking all over creation and am looking for a shoe to look decently fashionable but still be comfortable. I have these:</p> <p><a href="http://www.onlineshoes.com/productpage.asp?gen=w&#038;pcid=142117" rel="nofollow">http://www.onlineshoes.com/pro.....cid=142117</a></p> <p>I love Merrells for the comfort factor and I didn't think these were too bad but then I started to consider walking for hours on end in these shoes without socks and started to have nightmares about possible blisters and other problems.</p> <p>Should I throw fashion out the window (somewhat) and go with something like these:</p> <p><a href="http://www.onlineshoes.com/productpage.asp?gen=w&#038;pcid=132965" rel="nofollow">http://www.onlineshoes.com/pro.....cid=132965</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.onlineshoes.com/productpage.asp?gen=w&#038;pcid=132871" rel="nofollow">http://www.onlineshoes.com/pro.....cid=132871</a></p> <p>Thanks!! </p>
