Adidas Samba vs Birkenstock Arizona

“I would definitely *not* do Birkenstocks. I think your feet would be in open revolution against the rest of your body by the middle of Day 2, if not the end of Day 1. I would recommend bringing 2 of your comfiest sneakers and rotating daily so your feet get a break. I've alternated between this pair of weather-resistant [Nike Pegasus 35](https://stockx.com/nike-air-zoom-pegasus-35-shield-wet-fly?country=US&currencyCode=USD&size-conversion=us+m&size=9.5) and a pair of [Nike Killshot 2s](https://www.nike.com/t/killshot-2-leather-mens-shoes-72M7D1/432997-107?nikemt=true&cp=98549970627_search_--x-20451925136---c-10107447-00883153780483&dplnk=member&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwna6_BhCbARIsALId2Z2-FA-ZduwmqvHvU-H1KjQ3VsQvj5-s3c8w3lqKcnwl8Sreo9qeTl4aAlfuEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds). Probably not the most trendy MFA pieces, but, for clothing, I've done Birddog shorts and Rhoback polos for my last 2 WDW trips. Both items kept me nice and comfortable throughout the Florida humidity and heat. Only downside to the Birddog shorts is the built-in liner (which limits re-wearability).”

“Just for your edification, Sambas get holes in the heel because of the sole construction. They have a very thin outer rubber layer that's bonded to a honeycomb rubber section (for comfort), and it doesn't take much for that outer layer to wear through. [Here's](https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/How+To+Fix+a+Hole+in+the+Sole+of+a+Adidas+Gazelles+Shoe/40148) an example showing Gazelles, but Sambas are essentially the same.”
