The BEST Shoes for Your Next Disney World Trip

It’s something that truly isn’t talked about enough… .

The amount of walking done over the course of your Disney vacation! Let’s face it, Disney World is HUGE and you’ll be clocking some serious mileage as you’re walking throughout the parks. All of that walking in the wrong pair of shoes can truly be detrimental.

We asked our readers on our Facebook page to share with us their favorite shoes to wear in the parks. As usual, they did not disappoint! We’re sharing the top answers so that you can avoid foot pain and heartache during your next Disney vacation. Sit back and relax, ’cause we’re going shoe shopping.

1. Running Shoes

Okay, so our readers provided us with a plethora of running shoe options. However, you’re in luck, because behind the scenes here at AllEars, there are some marathoners who’ve been around the track or two with this topic. (See what we did there?)

If you’re going to buy running shoes, we highly recommend going into a store and getting specially fitted for a shoe! This will ensure that you and your shoes are a match made in heaven and that they won’t cause you unnecessary pain. If you’d rather avoid that and order online, here are some solid options for relatively neutral shoes that our readers love.

First, we have the Hoka Bondi 8 available on Amazon.

This is a very neutral shoe, meaning it doesn’t provide stability for over-or-under-pronation. It also provides a maximum amount of cushion for cozy heels and joints!

Next, we have the Brooks Ghost 14 which are on sale on Amazon.

These shoes provide slightly more stability but less cushion.

For our final running shoe, we have the ON Cloud 5 sneaker that are also now on Amazon.

These shoes provide some stability and quite a bit of cushion, plus they’re a bit more low-profile than the other two.

Tevas

If sandals are more your style, these might be the shoes for you! Tevas come in several trendy styles and colors and still provide comfort. We found some on Amazon, but there are plenty of sizes and colors that fit every style and budget.

What our readers love about these is the minimal cushion and how lightweight they are. Plus, they’re waterproof and quick drying, so you won’t be uncomfortable all day if it rains!

Crocs

These are a fan-favorite for our readers! We found some Crocs on Amazon, and Disney tends to make several pairs of Crocs as well.

Our readers love that these are lightweight and cushioned and that they have a comfortable strap so that they don’t slip off.

No matter which shoes you choose, the most important part is that they’re broken in before your trip. Trust us, you do not want to be breaking in a new pair of shoes while you’re walking around Disney. Either way, you might end up with some blisters, so here’s some bonus material!

The Bandaid Hydro Seal bandages are on Amazon and can be worn for multiple days in a row — protecting you from blisters or allowing current ones to heal.

These are hydrocolloid bandaids, so not only will they stay on — but they allow your body’s natural healing process to occur underneath. Friends don’t let friends get blisters!
