best footwear to wear with a sundress to the parks?

[Disneytrippin']

Hello. Its been awhile since I have asked for advice. We usually go to DW in the late fall so I wear go walks. We are going next month and so I am going to wear some sundresses. What do you wear with your sundresses? I would love to find comfy sandals that won't hurt my feet.

I swear by TEVA Kayenta's. They have them in lots of colors. And I have never had an issue wearing them all day at the parks. They dry quickly if they get wet.

I have 2 pairs of Teva Tirra hiking sandals (they're not as cute as the Kayenta's mentioned above, but I have very wide forefeet and need to be able to adjust the sizing at that spot), a pair of Vionic Farra strappy slingback sandals in faux suede/snakeskin, a pair of slip-on Crocs sandals (style no longer made, but similar to Kaydee or Swiftwater -- they have a Crocs foot bed, but with slim straps instead of a clunky clog), and some Clarks Breeze flip-flops, all of which have proven themselves worthy for walking miles at WDW, without aggravating my tendinitis.

Crocs still make non-clog styles! I was a long time Teva diehard but I now swear by what I jokingly call my Crocs that don’t look like Crocs, ever since I bought them for last year’s trips to replace my ancient Clarks. They’re the LiteRide 360s.

Typically what I do is swap sandals after we go back out after our long midday breaks, it does wonders for my feet.

I will check out the teva shoes for sure.

Where do you buy yours? I have a hard time finding that specific sandal

I have to buy them online. Having a pair (or two or maybe three or more lol) makes it easy because once you find your size, they all run the same. They do run true to size - I wear a size 6, I buy a size 6 in these. Sometimes you can find them at Zappos for decent prices. I've gotten most of mine on sale for under $50. I haven't shopped for any recently so not sure if they are still a "thing" to buy or not. (I just did a quick search and actually didn't find any ). Good luck!

I've bought some trainers from Rocket Dog but will also bring sandals. I've been wearing them in before our trip.

I wear Teva Mush flip flops or OluKai Paniolo flip flops. Have worn them for years. My lower back is wrecked but these are super comfortable and I can walk in the parks all day.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned Birkenstocks yet. I have Mayaris and I love them. The only problem is that they aren’t great when wet, but otherwise they make my (bad) feet feel so good.

Jumping on the Teva train but I wear Hurricane XLT 2 sandals - they're maybe the comfiest pair of shoes I've ever owned, not just sandals!

Whatever brand you opt for don't skimp on the thicker/padded sole. You can find Teva's for half the cost but they're thin and offer no sole support.

I saw the Olukai while looking for Tevas. Glad to hear feedback on those too

I wear Birkenstocks with my athletic dresses in the parks - I have the white Gizeh's with Mickey and Minnie on them in black (a collab from several years ago, I believe) so they match everything and are so ridiculously comfortable. I also wear the EVA style (plastic/rubber) style along with the traditional Arizona style when I know we are in for some rain. My 83 year old mom is joining us on our upcoming trip and that's all she is bringing - she wears Birks year round here - comfortable and they do not cause any back, hip or foot pain for her.

I have Princess feet—plantar fasciitis and I get blisters.
I have at least a dozen pair of Bzees , with styles that change constantly.
I look for the cloud footbed, and fabric uppers.

These are my go-to for WDW - wear them every day with my sundresses. They may not be the cutest, but when you’re walking 35k steps, cute isn’t as much of a priority

OMG THESE!! I wear these nearly everyday and where all the time with my sundress, both at home in Hawaii and at the parks! I have very high arches and neuropathy and my feet love these! I also have a pair of Merrell Terran post sandals I love (have a one of every version). They’re great for if they get wet since they have neoprene.
