The Most Comfortable Shoes for Disney World (Hokas vs. On Clouds)

When you’re deciding what shoes to bring to Disney World, you may have done research to hear what other people have said about the shoes they brought.

On Cloudswift Sneakers

For months now, we’ve heard people raving about both HOKA and On Cloud sneakers, and seen them tons in the parks. There are lots of other brands out there, but these are the shoes that consistently get top reviews. If you’re deciding between the two, though, you’re likely looking to only purchase ONE pair, instead of spending money to buy one of each, since they’re both EXPENSIVE. We’ve tried both of them out in the parks extensively, and can now confidently say that ONE of these shoes is clearly more comfortable than the other.

Now, it’s important to note here that this is largely based on personal preference, and everyone’s feet are different! For one person, there may be a brand of shoe that’s super uncomfortable, while it’s the only choice for someone else. We had one reporter try out BOTH of these shoes, and now we’re sharing our findings.

On Clouds

On Cloudswift Sneakers

We see people wearing On Cloud sneakers in the parks ALL the time, so we figured it was time to try them out ourselves. We grabbed the Women’s On Cloudswift Sneakers, which currently run about $189 on Amazon. The truth is, these are fine, but they’re nothing to write home about. They felt like any other tennis shoes to us, and that’s not great for how expensive they are.

On Cloudswift Sneakers

These are supportive, don’t get us wrong, but the cushion and bounce just wasn’t really there, and when you’re walking on ground as hard as Disney World, especially for how LONG you’re walking around, you need something that’s really going to support you. Now, we see TONS of people walking around these in Disney World all day, so we think it’s absolutely worth a try to test these out in a store, and see how they feel for you — they may be a perfect fit!

HOKAs

HOKA Clifton 10

And now we have HOKA shoes, specifically the HOKA Clifton 10s. These currently cost about $156 on Amazon, and these are the shoes you’ve likely heard people talking about over and over and over again. Are they really worth all the hype, though? In our opinion, YES, majorly so! The cushion and bounce here are unmatched, and it really made us feel supported. In fact, our reporter happened to be 20 weeks pregnant when she tried these shoes, and her feet didn’t hurt any more than on a normal trip (when NOT pregnant, that’s a big deal), and she feels that’s all due to the HOKAs.

We love our Hokas

In fact, our reporter went as far as saying that when she tried the On Cloudswift sneakers, she just couldn’t wait to put the HOKAs back on. We didn’t have any blisters with these, which is a huge win, especially after days and days of walking multiple miles each day. There’s a reason we see both guests and Cast Members in these — they haven’t let us down yet!
