You’re headed to Disney World, and for most of us that means we’re planning on doing a serious amount of walking!

You’re definitely get your steps in at Disney World!

It is not uncommon to walk a half-marathon or more every day of a Disney World trip!

And that means that your SHOES are a serious issue! It’s Florida, which means it can be HOT much of the year — and you might want to wear sandals. So, what are the best sandals for Disney World? Let’s take a look.

First off, let’s eliminate a category of sandals right off the bat. We just don’t think flip flops are a very good idea.

These are really cute, but honestly, we can’t recommend them for a Disney World trip!

At least, not the flat ones with the plastic toe bars that you can pick up pretty cheaply at almost any store. While these work great in a pinch, and might suit your needs on a pool day at Disney World, they just don’t offer the support you’re going to need to walk all those miles. And many people (including my Dad — hi, Dad!) will tell you that flip flops can be a safety risk — they can make it easier to trip.

If you still love the ease of slipping on a flip flop, we recommend looking for one made for walking, like this FitFlop iQushion.

This shoe comes in more than 20 colors and has 8,000 5-star reviews!

Pack MULTIPLE pairs of shoes! One key to staying comfortable when you are walking all day, every day, is to rotate the shoes you wear. Be sure to have a couple of different options for Disney World!
If you are concerned about sandal straps rubbing on your feet uncomfortably, use an anti-chafing balm — like this BodyGlide stick — on your feet before putting your shoes on, and toss it in your park bag to re-apply.
And just in case a blister pops up, we like to carry a roll of moleskin that you can cut to whatever size you need to protect and pad a sore spot.
