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!

🎉HAPPY REOPENING DAY TOONTOWN!!!!!🎉⠀ ⠀ W 🎉HAPPY REOPENING DAY TOONTOWN!!!!!🎉⠀⠀We loved visiting yesterday for a preview of this reimagined area.  It’s absolutely perfect for getting your wiggles out, having a picnic and yup……..getting your Disney feels fix.⠀⠀My top recommendations when visiting this new area?⠀⠀1) mobile order from Cafe Daisy…..we loved the pizza options and the cold brew⠀2) play play play in Goofy’s How-To-Play Yard, and inside his house…..⠀3) take the time to walk through Minnie and Mickey’s houses, you’ll probably see a surprise friend or two!⠀4) absolutely yes to the picnic basket from Good Boy! Grocer.  It’s a STELLAR price and a really fun experience to pick out your own snacks.⠀5) Mickey’s and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is a perfect full family ride.  I’d suggest trying for this earlier in the day if you can.⠀6) Keep an eye out for Pete, it’s so much fun to see him wandering the area.⠀⠀#Disneyland #Toontown #Mickey #Minnie #MMRR @disneyland @disneyparks invited guest
✨There’s something in my eye…….oh it’s j ✨There’s something in my eye…….oh it’s just pixie dust.⠀⠀When I think of Lydia’s earliest visits to Disneyland….I think of Toontown.  I think of Minnie’s House and meeting Mickey and playing next to Goofy’s House.  I think of the adorable landscape and the magic that the area creates for the youngest and the young at heart.⠀⠀✨Today we visited Toontown for a sneak peek before it’s reopening tomorrow…..and yup, that pixie dust definitely got in my eye.  More than once.⠀⠀Toontown is even more magical than it was (partially thanks to the addition of a cold brew on the menu at Cafe Daisy (good call Disney food and beverage team). ⠀⠀✨My favorite moments from today’s sneak preview?⠀1️⃣ we saw Pete. He’s even better than I’d hoped.2️⃣ I love love love the food options in Toontown! Highlights: the picnic basket snack option Good Boy! Grocers, the cold brew and a delicious gluten free fold over pizza (regular looked great too)3️⃣ the new play areas are amazing! Goofy’s How to Play Area is phenomenal and filled with a ton of new interactions. ⠀Happy reopening Toontown.  Can’t wait to see you again real soon. ⠀⠀Have you visited Toontown? Are you planning to come see all updates?⠀⠀#Disneyland #Toontown #Mickey #Minnie #MMRR @disneyland @disneyparks invited guest

There are people cheering you on…..and you don’t even realize it.I learned a LOT during the 7 months of training for this race.  I learned that I should stretch and warm up (thanks pulled muscle for that life lesson), I learned that small progress over time leads to achieving big goals.  I learned that sunshine and being outside makes me a happier person.  I learned that I’m more of an athlete than I thought I was. But most of all? I learned……there are a whole lot of people in your cheering section and you might not even know they’re sitting there.  After I pulled this muscle, I was amazed by the sweet and kind messages while I tried to prepare to run my first 10k with an injury.  But NOTHING prepared me for the ovwhelming amount of kindness and support that flooded into my inbox when I crossed the finish line.  From the early morning you can do this messages to the ones that came in throughout the race to the inspiring amount of support as I iced my pulled muscle…..it brought me to tears.And the amazing thing? When Jennifer and Lashawn and I found each other at the finish line….they said the same thing.  It’s not just me.  We all have a cheering section.  And wow, do they show up when you may not be expecting them.Got a big goal? Working on something new? Share it in the comments.  I’d love to join your support team.#medalmonday #rundisney
