Here at Disney Food Blog, Disney World is our job. We’re at Disney all day, every day, sometimes walking up to four or five miles a day. Which means that our feet hurt a lot!
We’ve tried almost every pair of sneakers for sale to find the best shoes for Disney, and we’ve finally done it. And the best part? Our favorite shoes are on sale!
Brooks Women’s Ghost 17s
The Brooks Women’s Ghost 17s have a balanced feel. It’s a blend of soft and dynamic cushioning that offers a smooth feeling with each step, and a comfy grip around the toe and front of the shoe that hugs but doesn’t squeeze too tightly. The cushioning makes you more bouncy and feel like you’re gliding as you step, rather than sending a full-on impact to your body with each foot drop.
They’re a little heavy at first to get used to out of the box, but after you walk around in them, you can start to feel them conform around your foot and give you extra cushion and bounce in the heel where you’ll need it most. These shoes have nitrogen-infused cushioning in the heel and forefoot, which makes you feel like you’re walking on a cloud!
The air mesh around the upper part of the shoe has been redesigned with a kickback collar and a breathable structure, so there’s great airflow, and you’re not super sweaty just from walking around in them. The updated midsole works with the flex grooves in the outsole to continue the support throughout the step and not just the initial impact.
If you’re not someone who likes a firm grip around your foot, you might want to err on the safe side and size up a half or full size. These have extra cushioning everywhere, including the inside of the heel, which might feel a little restrictive if you’re not used to having your foot snuggly in your shoe. The only con to these shoes was that we struggled with sizing, but once we sized up, we could walk for miles at Disney with zero foot issues!
The Brooks Women’s Ghost 17s are typically marketed for runners, but anyone looking for a well-fitting, comfortable shoe that supports long walks will love these. These shoes are pricey, there’s no denying that, but they go above and beyond on comfort and ease on your feet. Brooks offers a 90-day test run if you order them directly from the manufacturer. If you don’t love them, you’re able to return them for free! So what are you waiting for? Get our favorite shoes for Disney while they’re 20% off!
