Even if you’re used to walking around for hours at a time every day, there is something different about a trip to Disney World. Maybe it’s carrying theheavy backpack with everyone’s water bottles and souvenirs in it, or the bright, humid, Florida weather, but more likely than not, your feet are going to hurt at the end of your trip — especially if you choose the wrong shoes.
When we’re looking for what shoes to wear to the parks, we try to find ones with the right amount of cushion and support, but also breathable and lightweight to handle all the different hard grounds throughout the parks. We pulled a few of our favorites that are on sale, so you can find the perfect shoe to wear to Disney World, because trust us, if your feet hurt, your whole vacation, you’re not going to have a good time.
Brooks Women’s Glycerin 22
Coming in at 30% off, these shoes provide maximum cushioning with every step. They’re great for road running, which makes it perfect for Disney World since it’s almost all cement with different textures. There are larger cells in the heel to provide soft and plush landings, with smaller cells in the forefoot for pushing off with your toes.
On Women’s Cloudswift
These are 11% off and are specifically designed for hard surfaces. They have the Helion Superfoam with supportive side panels for plenty of cushioning, but also a responsive push while walking. We love the mesh design to help keep our feet cooler during the super hot Florida summers (which is basically all the time).
Brooks Women’s Launch 11
We keep going back to Brooks because our team really loves them that much. These are 17% off and super lightweight and breathable. They’re great for smooth transitions, so when you’re walking on different ground textures, like the bumpy feeling in Galaxy’s Edge to the smoother streets on Hollywood Boulevard, the shoes provide the enhanced traction you need, even in the rain.
New Balance Women’s Fresh Foam
You can never go wrong with the classic New Balance. This pair is 14% off and is designed to provide midsole cushioning paired with a lightweight ride. It’s made of synthetic material and breathable mesh (again, you will be thanking yourself when you realize how hot and humid Orlando really is), and they have an extra lace hole up top so you can tighten them to your liking.
New Balance Men’s Fresh Foam
For another New Balance option, these are 38% off, and only $50! It has an integrated rubber outsole for enhanced underfoot comfort in every step and uses renewable resources to bring ultra-cushioned support and reduce New Balance’s carbon footprint. It also features a no-sew construction for a sleek fit and feel. Just keep in mind that these are sometimes returned for being too tight, so you might want to go up in size.
Picking shoes for Disney World is no joke, so you’ll want to make sure you find the right pair to keep you comfortable for your whole vacation. Keep following Disney Food Blog for more tips and tricks for the best Disney World trip ever.
