The Ultimate Guide to Comfortable Sandals

HERE.WE.GO!! Summer and warm days are on the horizon, and since we're back to theme park visits, it seemed like the perfect time to talk about comfortable sandals (the perfect warm weather shoes).

Comfortable Sandals: the ultimate guide to summer shoes

Now that we are back to visits to Disneyland, Legoland and more…..it's time to talk comfortable shoes.  In the warmer months, comfortable sandals are a key element to any Disneyland outfits.

A few suggestions when you're on the hunt for comfortable sandals:

  • Break them in: most sandals do need to be broken in before a long wear. If you are planning on wearing them for a long day on your feet, do a few shorter days first.
  • Beware of Rubbing: the hardest part for me when looking for comfortable sandals? Rubbing.  I'd suggest bringing bandaids for longer days so that you are prepared.
  • Think Support: sandals are notoriously NOT supportive.  If you're walking all day, you probably want SOME form of support.  For me? That means a slightly thicker soul.  That way I get SOME support.

The Ultimate Guide to Comfortable Sandals

Now that we've gone over the basics, these? Are some of my favorite tried and true comfortable sandals.

Comfortable Sandals: the ultimate guide to summer shoes

Birkenstocks: Now, I know.  It's predictable.  But Birkenstocks are popular because they are…..SUPER comfortable.  In fact, any of my Disneyland friends can tell you….I wear platform Birkenstocks during most summer visits to Disneyland.  I've had the same broken in pairs (one in tan and one in grey) for about five years, and they're absolutely worth every penny.  Birkenstocks are high quality, and you can be sure you'll have them for years to come. I'd suggest a tan or a brown color and a black or grey color.  I've gotten a ton of use out of both.

Slide Sandals: Let's talk slide sandals.  If you are looking for flexible, easy to break in sandals…..a slide sandal is a great option.  I have a few perfectly broken in pairs that I just LOVE.  The only thing to be aware of? Most slide sandals have very thin soles.  So, not a ton of support.  Take into account how much walking you'll be doing.

Platform Sandals: Personally? I'm all about the platform sandals when it comes to the absolute BEST comfortable sandals.  The support makes a HUGE difference for me when it comes to long days on my feet (aka Disneyland days).  Looking for the best? Look for an inch or so platform.  Tall enough to provide support, but not so tall they hurt your arches.

Jack Rodgers Sandals: Jack Rodgers sandals are a recent comfortable sandals addition to me.  I was definitely apprehensive, but I'm sold. They are SO comfortable.  These are perfect day to night sandals, and a classic style that will be useful for years to come.  I'd definitely suggest breaking them in first!

🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨⠀⠀🛑 Learn from my mistakes, 3 things you should NOT do if you’re running Disney races this year (trust me):⠀⠀1️⃣ Passing Go and Heading STRAIGHT to the parks: I realllllyyyyy wanted medal pictures.  In my running outfit.  So, instead of taking the buses straight from the finish line back to the hotel……we went to the Magic Kingdom.  Took photos.  Went to lunch.  And felt…..terrible by about 1 pm.  So take it from me, finish the race.  Go to the hotel.  Shower. Take a nap.  THEN go to the parks. ⠀2️⃣ Breakfast: ok, mistake number 2.  WHAT WE ATE.  We booked a very cute, very on theme lunch.  It was also very rich and creamy food.  And…..was NOT IT after a race.  Some of us may have gotten sick.  It might have been the food.  Or the lack of sleep.  But, breakfast food (waffles / eggs) would have been a MUCH better choice.  Now bonus points if you can guess where we ate.  Love it, but….not for the first meal after the race.⠀3️⃣ Park Tickets: I spent WAY too much.  I didn’t buy my park tickets in advance and paid full price.  On a race weekend, you’ll probably want tickets for race day and the day after if not two days after.  So….buy them NOW.  While you can get a deal. ⠀⠀🎟️ Which leads to……when I say buy those park tickets now, I mean it. Big News! Undercover Tourist is offering their best ticket deal at BOTH Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort…for a VERY limited time, get Adult Theme Park Tickets at Child Prices.  So whichever race you are running (or races in my case)……snag tickets NOW.  I’m grabbing mine for Wine and Dine and Princess weekend……..⠀🎟️ want a link to the deal? Comment TICKETS PLEASE and I’ll send it your way! ⠀👟 Are you running a Disney Race this year? Which one? ⠀⠀🥇 And if you’re an experienced Run Disney person….what tips do YOU have for first timers?⠀⠀@themeparkfrog @disneyland #FrogHopDLR #rundisney

Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off another year of family halloween costumes.The thing is, I tried to talk Lydia out of these costumes.  It was a cooler day on Saturday and I kept telling her we could just wear jeans and the hats.  Until, I realized…….we may not have that many Halloween seasons left of cute family costumes.  So pink witches we were…..for the kickoff of Legoland’s Brick or Treat. We love Brick or Treat (this is our 3rd year doing it). It’s got some new activities this year, and I L-O-V-E that it’s included in your regular @legolandcalifornia ticket (bonus it ALSO will be included in Kids Free October here in SD).Our favs this year:- the wacky witch trail near the water park entrance- the zombie cheerleaders- halloween themed apple fries- the monster security checkpoint- Jam Out with the Rockers (this meet and greet is HYSTERICAL, scroll for the footage)Brick or Treat takes place on Saturdays in September and then Saturdays and SOME Sundays in October (dates are on the Legoland website).Welp, this makes it official.  Summer has come to an end. Bring on the Halloween fun!#sponsored #LEGOLANDcalifornia
