What are the best shoes to wear to disney world?

Our Virtual Magic Maker team has a lot to say when it comes to choosing the best shoes for a visit to Disney World. Our Private VIP Disney World Tour Guides say it’s essential to ensure comfort during long days of walking and standing. Here are some of the best types of shoes our Disney World Virtual Private Tour Guides say to consider:

1. Running or Walking Sneakers: These are ideal for the extensive walking you'll be doing. Look for shoes with good cushioning and arch support. Brands like Nike, Adidas, Asics, and New Balance are popular choices.

2. Sports Sandals: If you're visiting during warmer months, sports sandals like those from Teva or Keen can be a great option. They provide good support and are designed to handle lots of walking. Plus, they're breathable and can handle getting wet, which is perfect for water rides or sudden rain showers.

3. Athletic Cross-Trainers: These shoes offer good support for a variety of activities, making them versatile for walking, standing, and even catching a parade or a show.

4. Lightweight Hiking Shoes: If you prefer more coverage than what a sandal provides, lightweight hiking shoes are a good alternative. They offer support, durability, and comfort.

5. Comfortable Flats: For those who prefer not to wear sneakers, certain brands offer flats that are specifically designed with support and cushioning suitable for extended walking.

6. Slip-Resistant Water Shoes: If you plan on enjoying water attractions, consider a pair of shoes specially designed to be in the water. These shoes offer good grip and are quick-drying.

Key Tips:

BREAK THEM IN! Whatever shoes you choose, make sure to break them in well before your trip to avoid blisters and discomfort.

-Avoid new shoes: Don’t bring shoes that haven’t been properly worn in.

-Consider the weather: If you're visiting during rainy seasons, choose waterproof or quick-drying shoes.

-Pack multiple pairs: If possible, bring a couple of different pairs to switch things out. This can help prevent blisters and foot fatigue.

-Be Style-Conscious: While comfort should be your priority, feel free to choose shoes that you feel good wearing, as you’ll be taking lots of photos!

Comfortable shoes are crucial for making the most of your Disney World adventure, keeping you and your feet happy from morning to nighttime shows and fireworks!
