Best Shoes for Disney World

Finding the best shoes for Walt Disney World and Disneyland is difficult. In our pursuit of perfection, we’ve learned that there’s no one-size-fits-all ‘favorite’ footwear. Nevertheless, we’ve gained tons of experience and worn out dozens of soles at the parks and share our findings with you here. (Updated July 11, 2025.)

Again, there is no such thing as “perfect” shoes for Walt Disney World. Like footwear itself, there are two parts to this. The first is that personal preference, individual comfort, and the unique contours of your feet and body are huge factors. If they weren’t, the scientists would’ve just perfected footwear decades ago and there’d be one pair of shoes everyone wears. Instead, there are thousands.

Second, it’s all about tradeoffs. This has been a difficult lesson that I’ve learned when chasing my other theme park white whale, which is photography. No lens, camera body, or tripod is perfect–they all come with compromises. With shoes, those include weight, cushioning, responsiveness, breathability, support, dryness, and so on.

What are some good sandals to wear around Disney instead of sneakers? We are going beginning of August and I would much rather wear sandals. I see on websites they say crocs, oofos, sanuk, etc but the amazon reviews all say they are so slippery when they obtain wet and lets face it… it’s going to rain some while we are there. Thanks!!!

Keen are really comfortable. There are cuter sandals, but nothing more comfortable. Though I think they’re better looking than crocs or oofos.
Also not slippery.

My favorites are my Birkenstock Mayari & my Keens (maybe Newport or Whisper?)

I like my Teva Terras. Good arch support. Reveal toes. Adjustable straps across the top of the foot close the toes, and also around the ankle, so they fit my narrow feet. I can go all day, lots of pavement pounding, but my feet don’t hurt. I’ve worn them during very wet, rainy days at WDW this week, and they’re not slippery. They don’t take long to dry.

Edit: Teva Verra, not Terra.

Teva Tirra are great and lightweight and Keen Newport are more rugged like sneakers. That said I wore sne

Best Sandals? No Crocs or flipflops allowed.

Thanks all for the advice, but I actually just did a quick impulse shoe buy during my lunch break...and they aren't Tevas. Sorry, I do appreciate all of the advice though. Promise! While I was looking online at the Tevas reviews, which were pretty decent, my feet started to SCREAMat me after writing this post, more so than usual.

It's like they knew I was talking about them

So I went to the mall during my lunch break and bought Earth Origin sandals, because they were the only pair there that were my size out of every brand. I've had these before, and still have a pair from like 10 years ago (I don't like throwing away shoes), but they are so worn down. Good shoes though! These are good too but more so the style I need, and will be breaking them in at work before the trip.
