This shoe has a great arch for support the last three times I went to Disney and I wore tennis shoes my feet were swollen sore and it was Aggie need to put pressure on my foot this trip I wore the shoes and it was perfect by day five my feet were not even hurting my feet felt perfect to the point I didn't care if I wear the sandals in the rain or not.  Speaking of the rain if you need to wear the shoes out and it does rain they're super absorbent I didn't find them to be slippery at all and I literally walked around an hours worth of rain it didn't damage the shoe it didn't take away from the Velcro the shoes are very sturdy and very strong
