Betcha didn\u2019t know that there are some RULES you need to follow for your shoes in Magic Kingdom<\/a>!<\/p>\n

You\u2019re going to walk thousands upon thousands of steps<\/a> in a single day at that park, so choosing your shoes well is VITAL to your comfort. We\u2019ve rounded up the biggest dos and don\u2019ts for Magic Kingdom footwear<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tomorrowland Is a Big Flood Point<\/p>\n

The first tip we\u2019ve got for you is actually a WARNING. Tomorrowland<\/a> is a huge flood point in Magic Kingdom, where you\u2019ll often find larger puddles just hanging out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Rainy days can be tricky<\/p>\n

If it\u2019s going to rain and you\u2019re not prepared with the proper shoes, you might want to save this part of the park until after things dry up. Otherwise, you\u2019ll be spending the rest of your day in soggy socks.<\/p>\n

\nAvoid the Splash Pads<\/p>\n

Speaking of wet socks, you\u2019re going to want to avoid the splash pads if you don\u2019t have a backup plan for soggy shoes. In Magic Kingdom, there are two splash pads. The first is the Casey Jr. Splash \u2018n\u2019 Soak Station<\/a> in Storybook Circus.<\/p>\n

The other splash pad area is what we refer to as the \u201cleaky tikis\u201d in Adventureland, across from Magic Carpets of Aladdin. While you\u2019re there, you might want to avoid the spitting camel, too!<\/p>\n

\nWear Reusable Shoe Covers<\/p>\n

Now, I know we\u2019ve talked a lot about wet socks and soggy shoes already, but there\u2019s a really great way to avoid that problem\u2026reusable shoe covers! They may seem bizarre, but we promise they WORK. We\u2019ve tested them ourselves on many days in the parks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Not what I imagined my first draft pick packing for Disney World would look like<\/p>\n

These Silicone Waterproof Shoe Covers<\/a> have grips on the bottom and unzip on top to fit over your shoes. The seal is excellent, and we were able to wear them in heavy storms to keep our feet completely dry.<\/p>\n

CHECK THEM OUT ON AMAZON HERE!<\/a><\/p>\n

If You Don\u2019t Want Shoe Covers, Wear Outdoor Sandals<\/p>\n

Okay, maybe shoe covers aren\u2019t your thing, or you don\u2019t like having your feet contained in socks and sneakers. If so, we have several people on our team who prefer to wear some form of outdoor sandal to the parks. Tevas are one of the popular choices\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Quincy in her Black Chacos!<\/p>\n

\u2026but Quincy and I both prefer to wear Chacos! These Chaco Women\u2019s Z1 Classic Sandals<\/a>\u00a0are designed with hikers, kayakers, and general outdoor activities in mind, so they\u2019re great for the parks. They dry fairly quickly, so they work well on rainy days, too.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Forget the Socks!<\/p>\n

Of course, when you\u2019re choosing your footwear, socks matter too! We often recommend bringing a backup pair of socks if you\u2019re wearing sneakers \u2014 you can change into them if your first pair gets wet or sweaty. It\u2019s also nice to just put a fresh pair of socks on partway through the day; you\u2019ll be surprised how much better it\u2019ll make your feet feel.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a9Amazon<\/p>\n

But the REAL trick here is to get some compression socks to help your achy feet! This 3-Pack of Compression Socks for Women & Men<\/a> on Amazon are a great option for your vacation, particularly if you\u2019re doing multiple parks, running a\u00a0runDisney race, or just need a little extra support.<\/p>\n

Do NOT Break in Your Shoes in Disney World<\/p>\n

Last but not least, we\u2019re going to warn you \u2014 DO NOT break in your shoes in Disney World. If you get a new pair of sneakers before your trip (like the HOKA Women\u2019s Clifton 10s<\/a> that we tried out in the parks recently, pictured below), make sure to walk around in them a bit at home before you take them on vacation.<\/p>\n

Breaking in new shoes in the parks is just a recipe for blisters, sore feet, and chafing galore. You\u2019ll be regretting your choices halfway through the first day. Get used to your shoes first,\u00a0then\u00a0pack them in your suitcase.<\/p>\n

If you follow these footwear guidelines, you\u2019ll be feeling a lot better at the end of a long Magic Kingdom day!<\/p>\n
