Will I melt in denim capris in mid May?

Here is a similar pant to ones I have. (Mine are a few years old, so slightly different design.)

They are pricier than the Target ones I linked, but have numerical sizing, so I think the fit is more flattering, and I can often find an Athleta coupon. Look in the descriptions for their “featherweight” fabric-perfect for capris or pants when you don’t want to melt in the heat.

I LOVE Athleta, but I am in the process of getting rid of the excess junk in the preverbal trunk, so I am waiting until I hit my goal to purchase any more of their items.

I have similar pants from JC penny and love them

I am Pooh-sized and wear denim capris or denim shorts no matter how hot it is. I find that they absorb sweat, I avoid the dreaded chafing, etc. As long as my shirt is lightweight, I’m fine. So I think you’re wise to take your favorite pair along; you might find they are the best choice for you.

I’d shop for some lighter weight capris if possible. Denim is heavy and also slow to dry if you happen to get caught by an afternoon shower. Linen, travel pants, athletic material - something like that - I always buy with pockets though! BUT - if they are a fave, I’d definitely pack them b/c you will likely be fine in something that is comfortable to you.

Update: I got my l.l.bean camp crop pants today and I am super happy with them! They are very light weight and will be easier to pack than several denim capris. I am just taking a carry on, so this will give me more space. Thank you for your input.

I looked those us and they look great! Glad you like them and can’t wait to hear how they work for you in the heat!

I always wear cheap flip flops there! All day every day for 2 weeks. Never had a blister, aching feet or any other issue.

You’re so lucky. I have falling arches, so I have to wear orthotics every day. It makes finding cute shoes nigh impossible! Enjoy your flip flops. I’ll just sulk in the corner in a green jealous heap :wink:

Are we talkin’ just basic flip flops with flat thin soles? I could understand walking around WDW orthotic flip flops. Need that arch support and generous cushioned sole

I suppose the soles could be thinner but they are flat. I just picked them up at the seaside. They were about £5? Not a brand.

Wow! More power to ya!

This will probably be the year when on day 2 I’m on chat begging for shoes recommendations :joy::joy:

I often wear my average Walmart sandals. I had sore feet one day ever in all my trips and that was Epcot. Think was more about no resting.

Not sure that they’re “cute,” but I too wear orthotics in all of my shoes except Birkenstock sandals. Excellent support!

Nothing wrong with Birkenstocks, but I wouldn’t call them cute. They certainly would look odd with the dress I recently bought to wear to the Cali Grill to celebrate with DH! (Anniversary.) Unlike @ryan1, I don’t go barefoot with my dresses. :stuck_out_tongue:

Here are the shoes I’ve ordered most recently to see if I could get my orthotics to fit in them:

Clarks Gracelin Maze Flat (I’d have to rip the current insole out, but that looks doable)

And the Toms Alpargata Slip-on (which should have a removable footbed, bonus!)

Wish me luck!

I just bought something similar, the linen ballet flats from plae. It has a removable footbed, if that is what you are looking for.

That’s a big part of it, yes! Thanks for the tip. I’ll check them out.

Absolutely good luck. I, however, wear Birkies with everything - including vestments. (I’m an Episcopal Priest). I just make sure my toes look cute!

I am a child of the 90’s and remember Birkies revival! Everyone at my high school had a pair. I always thought they were cute, but unfortunately they don’t work for me. I trip in them too much (natural born klutz). I think it awesome that you wear them with your vestments!
