Promising review: "I wore these sandals walking all over Southern Italy for two weeks, where a versatile shoe was a must! These allowed me to walk long distances while also having a shoe that was ready for the beach. I’d recommend this shoe as it requires zero breaking in, has ample support/cushion, and I was able to dress it up or down based on the days activities." — Colleen
Promising review: "Got these light weight sneakers for my vacation and love them! So comfortable and it feels like you’re actually walking on air. I just bought myself another pair for my job!! Highly recommend if you’re looking for something light, comfortable and easy to put on/take off." — Oncloud9
Promising review: “My husband was looking at Clarks shoes so I was looking around and tried these on. They were so comfortable, like walking on a cloud. We were headed on vacation to Rome and I have a hard time finding shoes to walk around in that don't hurt after a few days. These shoes were comfortable every day of the 2 week trip, lots of walking, steps and hills. They also have a soft exterior so they accommodate foot swelling. I was wearing black pants most of the time and they were perfect. plus they are lightweight.” — cindy
Promising review: "Honestly the best white sneaker. These things traveled with my to Disney, to Greece, to the Bahamas. They took at least 20,000 steps a day with me going to work, to dinner, to walking home. I am also not a 'gentle' person so I beat these things up and they still looked great. Also added bonus I can wear them on rainy days. And another added bonus, I returned my old pair to get recycled and recycled clothing so my new pair was discounted!" — Lea
Promising review: "I love these shoes! They are extremely comfy and make great shoes for people who are on their feet a lot. I wore them through the airport and they are so easy to slip on and off. I’m excited to wear them to Disney world!" — Cody Brown
Promising review: "This is my first pair of Tevas. I bought these sandals for my vacation to puerto rico. I spent 6 days walking all over San Juan, hiking and playing in the waterfalls in el yunque and walking all over vieques and these shoes carried me through all of my activities. They are extremely comfortable. I took an extra pair of shoes just in case and they never made it out of my suitcase. I will definitely be buying another pair when they need to be replaced." — Bev
Promising review: "I love this shoe. I ordered a 5.5 which is my regular size. Fit is perfect with or without a light sock. Very comfortable for every day wear. I was just vacationing in the south, temperatures 96 degrees +. Going in and out of historical sites, and lots of walking, hot pavements and some slippery wet conditions, I was amazed at the coolness, the traction ,and the lightness of these shoes. No sweaty, tired, or aching feet at the end of the day for me." — Bonita B. Bossert
Promising review: "Wife persuaded me to get some great walking shoes for an extended sightseeing vacation, and after a bunch of research, I ended up with these. I am pleasantly pleased and surprised with these shoes. I walked an average of 8 miles each day, and my feet were always comfortable. No break in and no blisters. I highly recommend this shoe." — Patrick T. Barone
Promising review: “Love these crocs!! Family planned a vacation to Disney and we heard that to avoid blisters we should purchase a pair of crocs. Needless to say, they saved our vacation. I wore nothing but the cros while we were there. I didn't want to take the chance of getting blisters walking 25,000 steps a day for 10 days. They are quick and easy to dry after getting wet, can be worn with or without short socks, are very comfortable to walk in, cushioned and arch support. Toe width has enough room for comfortable spread with no rubbing on sides or top of toes. I wouldn't recommend any other shoe for Disney or for sore tired feet. Just love them!" — Doreen
Promising review: "I wore these on a very hot vacation where I was walking 20-30k steps/day recently and they were so comfy and cool! I typically don’t do shoes without socks but tried it out with these and they felt great. Highly recommend!" — Desirae K.
Promising review: "I bought these shoes in the spring of 2019 to wear on vacation to the Grand Canyon. I did a lot of walking on that trip and my feet never hurt and I still looked cute. Then a few months late, we went to Durango, Co and did a ton of walking and again, my feet never hurt. I washed them and let them air dry several times over the next year and they came out great every time. They soon became my daily shoes to wear around the house. I have already bought a second pair to replace them so I can still look cute and be comfortable and wear the first pair when I water the garden. I would definitely recommend these shoes!" — J. Perkins
Promising review: "I wore these almost everyday on a two week vacation and never had sore feet or tired legs. I have had numerous compliments on the unique style everywhere I traveled. I plan on buying them again in one of their other beautiful prints." — B. Barry
Promising review: "Went on vacation and hiked almost every day in rough terrain. They held up well! The waterproof works because I crossed a shallow creek and my socks stayed dry." — Megan K. Usko
