The Most Uncomfortable Shoes We Always See People Wear in Disney World

Okay, so we’re here to talk about shoes, and trust us, this could make or break a Disney World trip.

Main Street, U.S.A.

Here’s the thing: the shoes you and your family wear to Disney World MATTERS. Why? Because if you wear the wrong shoes, you’ll end up limping through the parks with sore feet AND blisters, and who wants that? Now let’s talk about kids’ shoes, too. Sure, your child might want to wear some cute plastic princess shoes, but we’re going to warn you: do NOT let your kids try to wear those all day.

So what kind of shoes are we talking about? Do you know those cute little plastic costume princess shoes that look great with princess dresses? Kids LOVE those shoes. But they are just not that practical when it comes to tackling a full park day in Disney World.

But don’t worry because we’re going to tell you about some fun shoes for kids that will keep their feet happy at the parks. 

Buy the Girls’ Frozen Sneakers

If your kid wants to dress up as Elsa at Disney World, that’s fine, but give her a pair of sneakers instead of heels. These fun sneakers are still pretty and have that Frozen feel and feature both Elsa and Anna on them.

DFB readers love Crocs for their comfort, but they’re also waterproof, and if you’ve ever been caught in one of those random thunderstorms in Disney World, you’ll appreciate that. These Crocs have a cute Mickey and Minnie design on them that’s sure to please kids.

A running shoe is PERFECT for hitting that hard pavement at Disney World’s parks (it’s all pavement in the parks, and that can be hard on the feet). These ASICS have a gel cushioning that keeps feet comfy all day.
