When you’re going to Disney World, it’s extremely important to make sure you have the right shoes.
You’re going to be walking thousands upon thousands of steps each day, and if you’ve worn the wrong shoes, your feet will kill you after day one, and instead of having fun, you’ll be busy thinking about how much pain you’re in for the rest of your trip. One of the most highly recommended shoes for the parks, or for physical activity in general, is HOKAs. We tried out two of the most popular styles and put them head to head, and let’s just say — one EASILY came out on top!
HOKA Rincon 4 Womens Shoes
The first shoes we tried were the HOKA Rincon 4 Womens Shoes. While these were comfortable, we had an issue with the back heel riding up on our ankle and it gave us a blister after the first day of wear. They were comfy and so squishy it was like stepping on a cloud, but we MUCH preferred the second pair we tried!
Hoka Women’s Clifton 10 Sneaker
The second pair we tried were the Hoka Women’s Clifton 10 Sneakers and these were much more comfortable on our feet. Our reporter has a high arch, which is where her problem with wearing tennis shoes stems from to begin with. The squishiness of the bottom of these as well as the soles is much more present in these than the Rincons, which we appreciated. They also fit our feet better and we didn’t feel like we were using the outside bones of our feet to walk on — we were able to flatten our foot completely in the shoe and still have a springy step!
