Ship footwear ----new cruiser

DH is a 16, and he mostly wore his steel-toed boots, but maybe once or twice had on his sneakers.

Not kidding.

I like new balance or reebok during the day

Hubby wears SAS shoes which he wears near bout everywhere everyday. They come in widths which he likes. We both wear SAS and I've found them extremely comfortable.

Ok so I am a big guy and I have a pair of crocs and some sandals Just wanted to make sure they will be good enough

I've read several threads in the Fashion and Beauty board about how Crocs can be slippery.

Don't wear anything with a smooth soul.

I don't yet know how smooth my "soul" is:eek: Anyway, if you must wear something with a smooth sole, it is advisable to rough up the sole with sandpaper to rid of the slipperiness or not wear the brand new shoes. And bring shoes that are comfortable. I've seen many people with obviously sore feet or blistered heels just for the sake of fashion.

Avoid flip flops. Or any shoe that does not have good traction on its sole. Going from the heat to the cool the humidity plays havoc with the floors. Pools decks are wet and slippery

Thanks you! I was beginning to wonder, as I read, if I was the only one! I guess it is growing up in GA. I am always barefoot if I can work it! With the exception of the dining room and eating areas, I basically live without shoes. :D

The muster drill or safety drill - during this definitely wear shoes that can do stairs well. People. Ay step on back of sandals, and just this once double tie laces for safety. The drill may require many levels of stairs.

:confused: Pretty sure you can take the elevators to get to muster drill.

I wear sanuk flip flops... They have a non-slip sole on them and they last forever.

No, you can't. If disabled they will help you get where you need to go. After the drill the elevators open again. Good luck getting one!

LOL I do NOT wear shoes unless I have to. Inside the house and even out I the yard, barefoot for sure. Managed to live to a pretty good age that way. Drank water from either the outside spigot or those green garden hoses. :D

You can wear whatever you like, just be careful. I prefer a sport sandal (teva, keen, Merrill) with a bottom that grips. These are great for the beaches too.

This. I don't wear Crocs, so I can't speak from experience, but there has been quite a bit of discussion lately about alternatives to Crocs because some have found them to be very slippery on board, especially a wet Lido deck. If you are concerned about this, then you want to be sure that you have a sole with some grip...usually textured rubber.

I spend pretty much the entire cruise in Sperry Topsiders, usually without socks. But for the flight (where the TSA makes me take off my shoes) or if we're going off of the ship in a port and we're going to be walking around extensively, I'll put a pair of socks on with them.

 

The only time I'm not in Topsiders is on "elegant night", and I've tried to talk my wife into letting me wear them then....

I agree with this. I wear Eastland deck shoes which are similar. First cruise I wore my sneakers on the Lido deck and almost slipped several times. Now I just wear these everywhere, they are comfortable and look good. :D

Regardless of what shoes you wear be very careful in the Lido restaurant. The floors on the Breeze and Magic are the slipperiest I have ever encountered in a public place. I did not have any shoes or sneakers that were slip proof. I had a couple of falls and won't go inside the Lido restaurant on either ship. Thankfully, the Breeze has Guys and the Blue Iguana outside.

I wear just regular tennis shoes or sandles/flip flops. Just be careful around the pool when the deck is wet.

The slipperyness of these floors cannot be overstated. In 18 cruises I had never slipped or felt the need to wear specific kind of shoes to prevent falling however on my 19th cruise on the Breeze it all changed. The floors in the lido restaurant were so slippery one night we saw children running and sliding on purpose like on an ice rink.

Dh & I wear runners which Americans call sneakers & Brits call trainers. Good traction especially on recently washed floors like the lido or wet areas around the pool or the walking decks that get rain or seaspray blown onto them.

I pack flip flops for poolside & in the cabin where I use them as slippers. Too trippy elsewhere. I've had some near falls with them so I'm careful now.

I often pack some Rockports for secure footing when I want my feet open to the sun, toes flapping in the sea breezes. Evening I wear some dressy light sandals.

My son wears size 17 shoes, and because of this he can't pack too many pairs of shoes when he travels! He always brings a pair of black slip-on Vans, which he wears day and evening!
