What shoes would you recommend bringing for use about the ship? Sneakers, Topsiders, sandals. Tell me your thoughts. Oh and this is for a Western Carribean trip. And thanks.
I'd stick with the sneakers and Topsiders (read: comfortable) for the day time.
Personally, I find sandals and flip flops cumbersome.
As for men in sandals...I'd rather not see them in places where food is served.

Well, to be more specific.
I meant sock-less feet ...and men's feet, as a rule, are usually a wreck.
But, now that you mention it, I've seen some women with tree roots for toes.
So....

I think its safe to assume that our friend here does NOT have a foot fetish.

Yellow nails with toe jam so thick they can't spread their toes...

Geez! . Ok, first off I certainly wouldn't be wearing sandals to dinner fer crying out loud! I've been reading all the debates over what is Formal Wear. And second off, the Lamisil cleared up that nail problem in no time at all! So no worries about yellow toenails. But around the pool etc. I sure can't see any problem with sandals. But for strolling the decks, or shopping or whatever, I'm thinking the Topsiders would be best and comfortable. And I promise, I'll wear real shoes to meals!

My DH and I both just bought some Keens. A very cool shoe that is water resistant, you can get them wet. They are super comfy and they have several different styles. Some have less shoe tops than others, some are much more open. I guess you will just have to see them to see how cool they are. They will give you comfort and styl and yes suppor in other words, if you are zip lining across the river, you don't have to worry about losing your shoes. check them out, I think they are cool

Of course not, but gross cannot be overlooked.

I hope we never cruise together. On my recent cruise I had a problem with my feet swelling the entire cruise and the only thing I could get on them were sandals.
(Fortunately the sandals are almost entirely enclosed.)
4 pairs total
sandles you can wear in the water (Teva, like)
top siders for casual
sport shoes for lots of walking
dress shoes for dress up night/aka formal night
Im wearing the perfect black dress for formal night and I was thinking black heeled strappies would look great with it. Is this not a good Idea? Or should my dress be long and sown to my feet? Oh wait I gave one of those to but the shoes for it are strappy, wore them to my daughters wedding. First time crusier not sure what to do. Men have it so easy, but us ladies like to look good for our mates.

I usually bring (1) a pair of dress shoes for eveningwear, (2) a pair of moccasins with rubber soles for general daytime wear, and (3) a pair of flip-flops for poolside, the beach, etc. If you plan to work out in the fitness center, you may also want a pair of sneakers.
On a cruise to Europe, bring a good pair of dress shoes that are very comfortable for walking. And you might want hiking boots if you are planning a shore excursion that warrants them.
Be careful with dressy shoes with very high heels. Remember that you are on a moving ship. While modern ships are designed to make that motion barely there...a cocktail or two, a walk up some stairs and even a tiny lurge in the ships's movement can be a problem. Doesn't happen often, but be careful!

Thanks, Marty - I was actually thinking about posting a question on that very subject.

One pair of dark Merrell type shoes.
One pair of sandals
One pair of black sport (tennis) shoes.
If it's a cruise with a formal night you need to add a pair of black dress shoes. I have never added the "patent leather" shoes for a tuxedo. A well polished pair of black dress shoes will be just fine.
I have become a fan of Freestyle and CC casual cruising. This eliminates the need for the tuxedo or dark suit, the black dress shoes and accessories. You can still look good without a suit.
Take care,
Mike

1 pair of nice shoe's period. It has taken my wife 30 years to stop brining a variety. 1 pair of sneaker for walking or the gym, another pair of comfy shoes for beach, pool. Keeping it simple will free up luggage space, weight and in the end not affect the great time you will have.
