Comfy shoes for walking long distance

Help.

I am going to euro Disney in August for 4 days (yay!) and getting nervous about what to wear on my feet. Last 3 days I have spent standing, and walked around 5 miles - my feet are agony. I've been wearing toms and the bottoms of my feet ache and the backs of the shoes have rubbed.

I've previously walked distances in fly boots (massive blisters on underside of my feet) and converse (blisters upon blisters to the point where my little toes were bigger than my big toe). All my shoes are well broken in.

So what can I wear that won't break the bank? I'd love a really comfy pair of trainers or something...but what could I get. Any recommendations would be amazing as I'm worrying! I have a feeling it's likely to be very warm.

These may not win style awards but they are incredibly comfortable www.fitflop.com/uk/en/shop/womens-sale-uk#@silhouette=sneakers I've got the sporty leather ones and have pounded the streets for miles and miles and they feel like slippers. Ecco, Geox and Clarks Trigenic all very good too for city breaks.

Can't recommend Sketchers strap sandals highly enough. Just worn them for 3 days in New York doing 20,000+ steps each day and they were great. Soft and comfortable and no issues at all. Happy to put them back on each day and wasn't in a hurry to take them off at all. Love them (even if they are a bit old lady ish)!

New balance trainers.

Go walks. Not the most alluring, but like little clouds strapped to your feet

Adidas gazelle's. I've had 2 pairs and they are like slippers. I hated trainers,always wore heels until I had these. And now I love them. Still wear heels too Smile

Sketchers the ones that arent quite like trainers but the ones without laces, slide on but with a back, soo comfy! Not the most stylish but not too bad at all!

Hi, a nice summer trainer that you know will be light but comfy. I have Birkenstocks which gave me a savage blister..also sketchers gl walk are fine..I think a runner that isn't to runnery IYKWIM is a nice option...comfort, wear trainer socks, no blisters 😉

Another vote for firflop - I have a wide range of theirs and they are incredibly comfortable- look for their baller flats

RumTiTum · 31/05/2018 22:36

I'm really fussy about having comfortable shoes, Softinos are really comfortable, I have their loafers and trainers but you can get other styles too, they were great from the moment I put them on.

I find Nike internationalists perfect. Right balance of lightweight, supportive and look ok too.

Skechers are very very comfortable. But not supportive enough for me unfortunately.

I wore sort of sports sandals when I did Disney. No prizes for style

I love my Skechers. I regularly walk 6-10 miles a day in them. They can get very sweaty and smelly through.

I also just bought these. They arrived this Monday and I walked about 4 miles in them the first time I wore them. They were so comfortable I forgot I was wearing new shoes.
