Shop the best shoes for Disneyland.
Not to mentionstandingin lines for rides and watching parades or fireworks.
Thats a lot of standingbut thats also exactly what will happen during your Disneyland day.
I average at least 12,000 every time I head to Disneyland and California Adventure.
It stands to reason that the shoes Im wearing had better becomfortable.
Additionally, I broke my ankle seven years ago, and still have residual pain from that.

So my sneakers need to take that into account, too.
Our feet are our foundation and serve as our bodys shock absorbers, says board-certified podiatrist and foot surgeonDr.

What are the top factors to consider when choosing a pair of shoes for Disneyland?
In between snacking on churros and riding Space Mountain, youll doa lotof walking at Disneyland.
Arch support
The archprovides both support and balance.
Good cushioning
This helps your feet absorb shock and avoid further tissue irritation and damage.
But Dr. Schaeffer cautions that your shoes shouldnt overcompensate.
Sometimes, too squishy means less or replaced support, he says.

Proper size
The right shoe size should take both length and width into account.
You dont want your heel or foot slipping around, Dr. Schaeffer warns.
Below, discover a few of my favorites.
They come in 19 different colors, my favorite being the pretty pastel Pink Lemonade.
And, for anyone worried about a break-in period, that was my first day wearing them!
No blisters, no tightness around the toes, just a full day of Mickey-loving fun.
Allbirds won by a mile (pun intended).
This disappeared within about an hour, and then they were incredibly light and comfortable.
The Hypoknit mesh upper makes them supremely soft and breathable throughout long days of waiting in ride lines.
(People who are into #DisneyStyle, like me, will definitely appreciate this.)
These sneakers feature a comfortable, breathable mesh and synthetic upper, and a removable cushioned insole.
Reeboks signature Floatride Energy Foam helps provide additional lightweight and ultra-responsive cushioning.
They also feature very modest logo detailing, which is nice if you dont like large emblazoned logos.
Id say that makes them Mickey-approved.
And especially when the weather is warm, you may want something open-toed.
While that pair is long gone, the Midform Universal sandals are still my go-tos for long-distance comfort.
Whenever I know I have a long park day in extreme summer temperatures ahead, I opt for these.
The colors continually update, too, so it’s possible for you to find new ones to love.
They feature two adjustable Velcro straps and a treaded rubber outsole that keeps you moving without tripping or sliding.
Something tells me Minnie and Daisy would love them, too.
It almost feels like youre rocking back and forth, which admittedly can take a little getting used to.
One of my friends who runs many Disney races also loves them as apost-run recoveryoption.
However, they are a great option for water rides like Splash Mountain and Grizzly River Run!
If Crocs are supportive and comfortable enough for you, theres no reason you cant wear them to Disney.
