If you’re looking more for sandals, these Chaco Women’s ZQ Classic Sandals are an excellent choice and are on sale for multiple sizes and colors. The sandals come with adjustable and durable high-tensile webbing heel risers, are customizable to the foot, and contain an anti-stink property for odor control — perfect for long park days.
Another good sandal option is the OOFOS OOriginal Sandal. This sandal comes in several different colors and sizes on Amazon. Advertised as lightweight recovery footwear, this sandal is meant to reduce stress on the feet, joints, and back.
On Men’s Cloud 5 Sneakers are another solid choice if you’re looking for ultra comfort. Despite the high price tag, many of the customer reviews praise the shoe’s comfortability, lightweight feeling, and sleek design.
Birkenstock sandals are so hot right now, and Amazon has a ton of different Birkenstock Women’s Arizona Sandals in multiple styles, colors, and sizes right now. Adjustable and stylish, these sandals could be a great pickup before your next trip.
New Balance joins the fray with the New Balance Women’s 574 V2 Essential Sneaker. These sneakers have several different sizes and colors and are lauded for their durability and ability to look good in most outfits.
On the lower end of shoe pricing, these Teva Women’s Original Universal Sandals are currently discounted on Amazon with many different color stylings. These sandals are advertised as ideal for all-day wear, festival wear, getting around town, water activities, as well as quick drying.
Running shoes are typically a safe bet at Disney World, and these Nike Men’s Revolution 5 Running Shoes fit that bill. Moderately priced and ideal for comfort and physical activity, these shoes have a good buzz around their comfort, quality, fit, appearance, weight, value, and performance.
These Hoka Bondi 9 Sneakers are another great running shoe if you’re looking for cloud-like comfort in the parks! They come in several colors and are a fan favorite for a reason.
Another favorite of ours is these New Balances for men and women on Amazon! These are a favorite of Emma’s when she is in the parks and at home.
