Few things are more important during a trip to Disney World than wearing the right shoes.
We’ll never stop in our pursuit to find the PERFECT shoes to wear to Disney World. Our latest efforts have us trying out a pair from New Balance and were we so won over by them, we have to share our experience!
We wear several different shoes during our visits to the Disney Parks, but New Balance’s 530 sneakers have quickly become some of our favorites!
The New Balance 530s Are FANTASTIC Shoes to Wear to Disney World
The New Balance 530s are unisex sneakers that really prioritize comfort and functionality.
In our experience, they seriously negate foot pain! Especially when paired with shoe inserts, these shoes are great when you have to walk long distances, as is usually the case at Disney World. One of our reporters has plantar fasciitis and said these shoes make the job a lot more comfortable while being trendy.
Speaking of trendy, New Balance over the past few years has made strides in bucking the notion that the brand simply makes “dad shoes”. While that’s a tough stigma to get past, this pair in particular goes well with most outfits.
The 530s are also easier to keep pretty than many other shoes we’ve worn, as we’ve found them fairly easy to clean. These sneakers are also a lot less expensive than comparable shoes, making them a good bargain.
You can find these shoes online via New Balance’s website. This pair comes in White with natural indigo, Moonbeam with sea salt, Raincloud with shadow grey and silver metallic, or White with pink sugar and silver metallic colors, as well as several different size options.
As per the official listing, this particular pair of New Balance sneakers combines turn-of-the-millennium aesthetics “with the reliability of a high-mileage running shoe. The reintroduced 530 applies a contemporary, everyday style outlook to this performance-minded design.” All in all, we love our 530s and can’t recommend them enough!
