what does everyone wear!??
I'm not a trainers girl at all, so need some comfy alternatives please! ::) ;D ;D ;D
I really wanted to wear my crocs but I'm going December so that's a no go but depends when your going..? Xx
As I saw the topic, I immediately thought 'sneakers'. But if you don't want to wear those, I'd say anything comfortable and water proof?
we're going in may, so no idea what the weather is like then?

I practically live in my crocs from March to October but they are a bit marmite, you either love them or hate them. They are extremely comfortable though

It's Paris, so pretty hard to predict. May can be anything between 10 and 20 degrees Celsius and rain is always possible.
I ony use sneakers when I'm out. Gives your feet good support.
I always choose walking/training shoes like these (http://www.shoxsneakers.org/loadpic/Men's%20Nike%20Free%20Running%20Shoes/Nike%20Free%205.0%20Running%20Shoes/Mens%20Nike%20Free%205.0%20cross-training%20shoes%20black.jpg)
It all depends on what you find comfortable, we went in May one year & it rained quite a bit but we also managed to get a tan! I wore trainers, one summer I took my backless trainers & it rained so I got wet feet (absolutely hate wet feet) but still comfy. In winter I wear walking boots, you could still wear these in May.
We usually wear waterproof hiking boots as we predominately visit in colder wet months. I think a comfy pair of trainers is best as you will do more walking than you would expect. Don't buy a new pair...Disney is not the place to be when you find your new shoes rub and give you sore feet and a blister! Tried and tested shoes are best. I don't think I could wear plastic crocs all day as they dont really offer much arch support and in crowds for parades you could find yourself with trodden on toes. Each to their own tho, as the previous poster said, some people live in their crocs and manage fine. I think the main point is to wear something comfortable that you would wear to a uk day out.
I'm not a big trainer fan either, so normally wear a pair of either comfy flat boots (if winter) or comfy pump type shoes in the summer.
Just to reiterate what others have said however make sure that whatever you wear are well worn in before you go. Disney with blisters and uncomfortable shoes is not pleasant! Don't underestimate the amount of time you will be walking and standing! :)
I would agree something with a nice comfortable bottom .... Blisters are not fun so nothing new ...
I will be interested to see how many steps per day I have on my fitbit lol
I'm not really a trainers person either but after a day in my Doc Martens killed my feet (even though they were as comfy as slippers) I soon switched to trainers whilst in the parks. I'd also invest in some decent insoles as well for extra cushiony comfort. Do not underestimate the Disney Feet ache! :o
I wear flip flops for Summer (Nike Solarsoft are unbelievable and come in loads of colours) I'd recommend getting a size larger than you normally are. I wear flat boots the rest of the time (ankle for Spring/Autum, over the knee for Winter) I wear anti blister socks with the boots and use an anti blister stick for when i'm wearing flip flops. I also bring memory foam insoles and flat court shoes in my bag just to change into if the need occurs. There is nothing worse than Disney Feet, especially WET Disney Feet! So always be prepared!
My go to footwear for Disney park visits are hiking boots. ;D You'll be racking up a fair number of miles every day and shoes that you can comfortably walk in for extended periods of time are a must in my opinion. :)
Contrary to what I was expecting I just amount managed 5 days straight in my Vans shoes haha. It depends how much you're doing too, and I suppose o my the weather. In the cooler weather I was fine but in warm weather I imagine sore sweaty feet may occur in vans...
Thanks everyone!
Crocs are unfortunately not for me, or trainers like I said before, but I remember doing the Florida parks as a newbie and the foot arch pain of doing them in flip flops.....frankly i'd never want to experience that again lol!
sooooo I'll buy some new boots or trainer type shoes soonish and get them well worn in before May, but just so hard to know what the weather will do so will take something to cover both rain and sun!
Will have to get my daughters feet measured the month before and get her some good supportive shoes too!
Argh! so much to think about for this trip lol! but am enjoying every single minute of the planning!! ;D ;D
Im going in my sketchers with the memory foam insoles, they are like wearing your slippers (even if they are a bit ugly!) I'll spray them with waterproofing stuff before I go!
I always wear leather shoes or boots in Disneyland. I would never wear trainers.
In Tokyo Disneyland a lot of women wear highheels unfortunately in Europe people don´t dress properly anymore.
I normally take trainers or pumps that have I have owned for a long time! Ankle boots can be good too!
We have recently bought Disney Vans for our trip (Mum insisted :P ) so we have been breaking them in just so we don't get sore feet.
Hope this helps!
Literally wear whats comfortable! You will be walking a lot so don't worry what you look like its not a fashion show, plus I can honestly say you won't see your feet in photos. I always pack a nicer pair of shoes for meals if it's somewhere posh the rest of the time its my trusty memory foam sketchers.

I'm not quite sure what is meant by that comment but it appears to read incredibly sexist and rude. Women don't need to wear heels to dress properly and men don't need to have a suit to dress properly either. Disneyland is a holiday venue people want to wear relaxed clothing plus you are going to be getting on and off rides somehow a short skirt and stilettos won't be appropriate.
Why would formal wear be suitable for a theme park? The last thing I think about is dressing fancy or girly whilst spending the day in the park. A meal in a restaurant is different but still wouldn't do stilettos but it wouldn't be trainers either. I would need to be comfortable. If this is your preferred footwear then that is your choice but be advised of the distance covered & time spent on your feet. Everyone is different.

Wow, a troll on a Disneyland forum?! Is there any need? Disneyland is about fun, magic and love not about fashion or whatever sexist views anyone holds.
It is entirely irrelevant what anyone (of any gender) wears while in the park. As long as they're comfortable (and decent ;) ) they're free to do as they wish. ;D This is a holiday after all.
