J-rap Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 My teen daughter needs a pair of shoes for a trip she's leaving on in a week, that are nice enough to wear with a casual skirt but could be worn with jeans/shorts, and don't need breaking in. I'm thinking some of the Toms styles, or something along those lines. She'll be doing tons of walking and it will be hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jann in TX Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I've always been able to wear Teva sandals right away for long periods. I'm getting ready to go on an extended trip to Uganda and will be wearing skirts all the time--and walking alot on dirt roads... I will be getting a new pair of Teva's and will be set! -- I must add that I have chronic foot problems and Teva has been the most supportive sandal that fit.

Hikin' Mama Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I second the Tevas. I also like Dansko clogs. I wear them with no show socks. If it's going to be cold she could wear tights. Dansko also has sandals with good support, although I've never owned a pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 This thread isn't the first time I've heard of Teva. I usually wear Birks because I hate closed shoes but need sandals with arch support. I thought I'd see what Teva is all about so I went to the store locator and put in my zip code. Know what came up as a local seller? The nearby Ace Hardware store! :confused1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-rap Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Thanks for the Teva idea! We'll definitely check them out. (That's funny that your Ace Hardware store supposedly carries them - ha! -- Maybe Teva is also a brand name for tools??) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnificent_baby Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Skechers GoWalk line are like walking on a cloud. So light and comfy. They do have a few styles that are non-tennis shoe looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraryLover Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Keens. Lots of cute (very casual) styles. I have a pair of black Mary Janes that might not be sexy, but have seen me through many years and many comfortable miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen in CO Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Keens. Lots of cute (very casual) styles. I have a pair of black Mary Janes that might not be sexy, but have seen me through many years and many comfortable miles. Yes - Keens are great. My dd wears the Mary Janes with her school uniform, and they've been very comfortable since the first day she put them on. They look cute with a skirt.

Brenda in FL Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Oh my - I must be a fashion misfit - no one else mentioned crocs? I just bought two new pair of sandals yesterday. I don't care though - I can wear them with a casual skirt/dress and also spend all day in the theme parks. (Oh and if anyone isn't familiar with their styles - I am not talking about the clogs!)

Isabella Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I like the nicer styles of crocs, too. But for hotter weather, I tend to get too sweaty in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathkath Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Keen Chacos have even more support than tevas. I prefer the chaos that don't wrap the big toe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 (That's funny that your Ace Hardware store supposedly carries them - ha! -- Maybe Teva is also a brand name for tools??) I thought I'd better come back and explain. I went there today because it was on my errand route and I was curious. There's a surf store next door that's owned by Ace? The franchisee? Anyway, that's what the Ace helpful hardware man told me. The store was closed today, but at least the mystery is solved. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why Ace would sell Teva shoes.

prairiewindmomma Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I have the sketchers mentioned above; they are awesome. Keens and Tevas are also great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
