Ahall2015 Posted March 6, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 6, 2015 We are planning on doing a snorkeling adventure in Cozumel for one of our excursions. I have read some on things to bring with you on excursions. Obviously swimsuits, and coverups along with a waterproof lanyard to hold sea card, ids, cash, etc. The one thing I haven't heard any input on is shoes. I was leaning towards bringing water shoes anyway since they would be good for walking around the pools on ship. Would you suggest wearing them on our excursion as well? What footwear do you all bring with you onboard and/or on excursions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted March 6, 2015 #2 Share Posted March 6, 2015 We wear sandals that can get very wet, if needed. Found most of the "swim" shoes don't have any padding or support. Not good for aging knees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are used and abused and still as good as new, albeit a little battered. http://www.teva.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted March 6, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) I just wear my flip flops...but NOT into water! That's dangerous! I don't go in water if it's rocky, anyway, so the flip-flops are fine for dry areas....I wear them on the ship, too! I don't want that "tan line" from water shoes on my feet!!!

TrqoisWtrs Posted March 6, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Agree with not wearing your water shoes as the shoes for your excursions. No support. Save them for the snorkeling. :) I love a Keen type. Have multiple pairs. Great for wet/dry excursions. (You can usually find generic versions at Target, etc., so no need to pay the big bucks.)

srlafleur Posted March 6, 2015 #6 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Comfortable! Go with tried and true, not brand new! Sneakers or sandals, depending on exactly what we'll be doing. If there's a bit of a trek through a rain forest, probably the sneakers. Otherwise, probably sandals or Crocs (yes, I said it - my hubby swears by his "dress" crocs - NOT the original fluorescent orange or the like. He has some nicer ones that are brown with suede. Sort of the original style, but not.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSN-Travelers Posted March 6, 2015 #7 Share Posted March 6, 2015 My wife and I both have these. They are very comfortable for walking in all environments and the can get wet. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JenMarie33 Posted March 7, 2015 #12 Share Posted March 7, 2015 My husband and I both have water shoes from Land's End that are comfortable enough for walking around in so they are great for the pool deck and excursions/ports. Mine are Mary Jane style and his are tennis shoe style sot hey look fine with my swimsuit cover up dresses and his shorts & tshirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUT2407 Posted March 8, 2015 #14 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I have a pair of black leather sneaker type shoes, I take them and wear them on excursions and they do double duty for dinner even with a suit they pass muster. But if they weren't comfortable I wouldn't take them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlescruztoo Posted March 8, 2015 #15 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Is your excursion off land or a boat. If its on a boat your shoes will have to be put into the basket. We are planning on doing a snorkeling adventure in Cozumel for one of our excursions. I have read some on things to bring with you on excursions. Obviously swimsuits, and coverups along with a waterproof lanyard to hold sea card, ids, cash, etc. The one thing I haven't heard any input on is shoes.

Ahall2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Author #16 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Is your excursion off land or a boat. If its on a boat your shoes will have to be put into the basket. We are doing a snorkeling excursion. Boarding a smaller ship to go to different coves. It is a 5hr excursion so basically that will be the only thing we will be doing at that port.
