7 BEST Shoes for Walking Around Disney World (2024)

Are you looking for the absolute BEST shoes for Disney World?

One of the few things we fail to consider when we prepare for our visit to theme parks is the footwear.

I personally average 13-14k steps during one theme park day where on a normal day, I hit 9-10k steps.

Safe to say, leg day will be every day during your Disney visit.

When visiting the Sunshine State, you should be mindful to make sure your hydrated in order to adjust to the Florida heat and humidity.

What you will most likely not get told is to get comfortable shoes. You will have to be ready to stand in long lines and walk for several hours.

Comfort and care for your feet should be one of your biggest considerations.

The question remains then, “What kind of shoes should I wear to Walt Disney World?”

You will want to consider a shoe that will give you sole support, especially in your arch and heel.

Also, you will want something with some sort of cushioning and not too tight. You wouldn’t want to get any pain or injuries that could do damage.

I have compiled a list of some appropriate footwear from Amazon that would best fit the needs of a theme park visitor!

Links will be included for easy access and some in fact I own and have been given the theme park test and seal of approval.
