We have several former Cast Members on our team at AllEars, so we know that the shoes you wear at Disney World really matter.
When you’re walking miles and miles around the four Disney World parks, your Disney resort, or Disney Springs, you want shoes that will hold up and support your feet. Here are our team’s top two shoe recommendations for your next Disney trip.
We love our HOKA Clifton 10s! Several members of our team, who are former Cast Members, wear these shoes to Disney World almost every time! We love that these are great for people with high arches, plus they have a wide toe bed that won’t squish your toes. They also fit well and don’t rub at the ankles.
They have a LOT of cushioning in the sole of the shoe, meaning that when you’re walking in them, they feel bouncy when you step. Instead, it’s like walking on a cloud. Even our diehard flip-flop wearer, Myranda, was comfortable in these shoes all day long.
If you want something that is going to support you walking from rope drop to fireworks, these are the shoes for you!
Emma loves wearing her New Balances to the parks. The New Balance Oxford Sneakers are comfortable and supportive for those long park days.
Featuring a wide selection of colors and sizes on Amazon, this shoe provides tons of comfort and support, and (depending on the color you get) will go well with many of your Disney outfits!
These shoes have enough support to keep your feet from aching, but they aren’t too heavy to walk around in, which we love!
In the meantime, we’ll be keeping an eye out for the latest Disney deals, so make sure you stay tuned to AllEars for more!
I hate to say it, but shoes are the one area of Disney outfits you want to put your pride aside and go with what works over the look… If you are the person blistering up because you risk going fashionable over practical, you let your group down.
While New Balance and Hoka are great ( I used to run in Clifton 10s and Rincons 2s and 3s), you need to understand your feet before going with what sites recommend for specific shoe models… or you could mess your feet up. Specifically with 30,000 steps Disney days. My advice is go to a local running store (or even a podiatrist if you’re having foot pain) and get checked out and properly guided. For example, if you over pronate (estimates say around 64% of people do), a Clifton, while it is a great neutral shoe, could cause pain on the outside of your foot. A stabilizer shoe like an Asics Gel Kayano or Brooks Glycerin may be a better option… Also make sure to break in your shoes before the trip…. Just wear them around your house, so you don’t mess them up and can return them if you are uncomfortable.
