Disney and Brooks running shoes have teamed up on some brand new designs that marry the magic of Disney’s iconic characters with Brooks’ industry-leading athletic equipment, and you can access them EARLY!
We talk about shoes a lot on this site, but that’s because we’ve all been there…we’ve all worn the wrong shoes to Disney World and ended up with sore, blistered feet. What you put on your feet matters.

That’s even MORE true if you’re a runner and participating in runDisney events. Well, if you want to score a great new running shoe (that would probably be good for walking around the parks, too), you’ll want to check out a new Disney collection by Brooks (yep, that’s a brand we talk about a lot here).
The 2025 Walt Disney World Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend is just around the corner, and Disney just teased something special coming for the run this year!

This runDisney race runs from October 23rd to 26th, 2025! The race usually brings some pretty big crowds, so you know you need to come out with the most fire shoes to show off. Brooks x runDisney has created limited-edition shoe designs exclusively for this year’s event. They are inspired by Disney favorites and the spirit of this flavorful weekend. Let’s take a look!
Doing something so wrong has never felt so right — especially at Disney World!
Busy day in Magic Kingdom
We don’t usually advocate for illegal activity, but for this one, we’ll make an exception. Bear in mind, the kind of “illegal” we’re talking about isn’t quite what you’re thinking. We’re talking about illegal shoes — the kind BANNED from competition. So while these shoes are a no-go if you plan on competing in some kind of race, rest assured that these illegal shoes are totally LEGAL at Disney World!
Oh, no. Y’all this Target sale is NOT what I need right now.
Target
So, quick story: I just moved apartments, and in the process of moving, I found out that I have a LOT of clothes. I kept opening boxes and it kept being more clothes. How many sweaters does one woman need? But then I found out that Target is having an AWESOME sale on its athletic clothes and shoes, and I’m seriously tempted. I mean, how often are running shoes almost 60% off?? And really I don’t have that many athletic clothes — maybe if I donate a few sweaters, it’ll make room for all these new clothes I’m about to buy. ‘Cause these would be AWESOME for my next trip to Disney World, so really, it’s an investment!
There are so many decisions to make when planning your Disney World trip.
EPCOT
Where do you stay? How do you pack for the weather, and what if it gets chilly and you need a jacket? Which park are you going to on which day, and do you know what everyone’s top “must-do” is? Not to mention, you may be wondering what you should wear on your feet. Don’t worry, we’ve got the top recommendations straight from the source — our readers!
One of the LEAST magical things about Disney World is how much your feet can hurt at the end of a long day in the parks. Each of the four parks is pretty big, so you’re likely to walk a long way, no matter where you’re visiting.
Expect a LOT of walking
Our reporters — who are in the parks every day — walk about 10 to 12 MILES every day. On busy days, and especially if they’re park hopping, they’ll walk up to 15 miles. 😱 Needless to say, you’re going to want some high-quality footwear for your Disney World vacation. But how do you know which shoes to choose? Here’s what the DFB readers said when we asked them which shoes they wear to the parks. [Read more…]
