I'm going to be going to a theme park next week and will be doing a lot of walking. I don't know what kind of shoes are best to wear. I really don't want to wear sneakers, and I hate crocs. Which would be better flip-flops or ballet flats? Any experiences or suggestions? Thanks.

Well, since they're thin it won't be too comfortable if you're going to be walking on rough terrain (bumpy sidewalks/roads, whatever).

I f I were going to a Theme Park, I would not wear new shoes...I would wear sneakers with breathable socks, like the ones from the Running Room, seriously...you will be doing a lot of walking and the flip flops and other stuff just won't cut it...ballet flats are made just that, flat...wearing super flat shoes is hard on your arches and the last thing you want to be thinking about is your feet...trust me, no one will be looking at your shoes...it is fashion violation central at most theme parks so, don't worry about how it looks...

I wont wear flip flops to a theme park again. I lost one on a ride once and had to walk barefoot from one store to another until I found a place that sold them. Not fun.
They say the average person walks 5 to 7 miles when spending a full day at a theme park. So unless your legs are used to that much walking, they are going to hurt and ache no matter what shoes you wear.
But tennis, walking, or running sneakers are actually the best. But if you are like me and hate wearing sneakers...go with the ballet flats. I've done theme parks in them and havn't had any problems other than normal muscle aches I get even when wearing sneaks.

Definetely wear the ballet flats. Flip-flops aren't good for crowded areas like theme parks.
I wear heels every day to school and when I go out in the evening with family or friends ballet flats feel very comfortable.

Yes u can wear ballet flats cause if u wear flip flops and u want want to go on rides u won't be able to go on. The best thing to wear is sneakers though, just comfortable ones. U can also consider wearing those clogs that people wear.

Don't wear flip flops to a theme park cuz when you go on crazy fun rides you'll have to worry about them slipping off. Ballet flats are comfy but I would'nt suggest them for a theme park either. Go with sneakers.

Depends on the pair of ballet flats--some are really comfy and some can give you blisters. I don't advise the flip-flops: from personal experience, they get icky and always give me blisters where the flip-flop strap rubs. When in doubt, wear jeans with ballet flats and a pair of cute trouser socks--you'll be blister-free and be able to enjoy yourself. Have fun!

my story is, i have these KILLER ballet flats- leopard print and everything - and they match my outfit perfectly.. only dilema is, i was going shopping. my mom warned me not to wear them but, i did- blisters all over the place. by the end of the day, i just wanted to take them off.
the moral of the story is, ballet flats are cute, but DEF. not practical for walking a long time.
flip-flops are a muchhh better option, they keep your feet nice and cool and dont hurt. atleast, they dont hurt me because i've become used to the feeling of the thing b/w ur big toe and first small toe.
in my opinion, no cheap flip-flops.. but a nice pair of sporty (yet fashionable) flip flops are the way to go! i got mine at a nike outlet for 15 dollars canadian..
:] good luck<3

You need something with some cushion and support. If you're walking a lot and on hard surfaces, the ballet shoes won't be good. You will hurt your knees. Wear cross-trainers or some shoes with a sneaker-like sole.

u should wear tennis shoes bc i when i went to the carowinds where i live some1 was wearing flip flops and while she was on this roller coaster thing, where ur feet hang down, her shoes fell off. i would suggest wearing tennis shoes, but bring a pair of flip flops in case there are rides where you'll get wet.
HAVE FUN!!
happy holidays!

soft ballet flats are good, if you wear thongs they may ban you from some rides, the best thing to remeber is that some ballet shoes will give you blisters
