Ugly Shoes at Disney World

The following advice is kind of hard for me to give because I’m a person who has no problem choosing form over function. I wore four-inch stiletto heals to my college graduation because I though they looked amazing. I didn’t care if they made it hard to walk across the stage. There is one place though that I will always choose function: Disney World.

It can be super tempting to buy a pair of cute Mickey themed shoes to wear on your Disney vacation. While I encourage you to buy those shoes to show off your Disney side around town, I think you should probably reconsider taking them to Disney World.

Insta worthiness should not be your top priority when packing shoes for your trip. Instead, focus on shoes that are comfortable, even if it means wearing a pair of ugly, old gym shoes. At Disney world, you will be on your feet almost all day and can easily walk over ten miles.

This is especially important if you are planning on being at Disney World for more than a couple of days. You will probably be fine for the first day or two in less than comfortable shoes, but by the end of your vacation, you will regret your footwear choice.

I encourage you to reconsider packing flip flops, flats, heals, or any other shoes that you wouldn’t wear to the gym. If you’re unsure if a pair of shoes will work, test them out. Go someplace you have to walk a lot like a museum, zoo, or hiking trail.

If you can find a pair of cute Disney shoes that are also comfy, please tell me where to buy them! If you can’t, then go for comfort. Your feet will thank you.
