6 Comfortable Sneakers to Wear on a All-Day Amusement Park Trip
As amusement park enthusiasts, we'll be the first to tell you that nothing is worse than making it an hour into your trip and realizing your feet will be crying before the end of the day. It's even worse when you're somewhere like Disney World or Universal Studios and the park is humongous. How will you beat the Tower of Terror or VelociCoaster lines when you can barely take a step?
It's a rookie mistake, but when you've experienced it once, you'll quickly learn you must invest in a good pair of shoes. To make your search easier, we've gathered a list of six of the most comfortable pieces of footwear that will easily last you hours.
Crocs Classic Clog: $49.99
Crocs might not be the most fashionable, depending on who you ask, but they are an underrated shoe, especially for an amusement park trip. They're lightweight, and the light support provides "360-degree comfort." Plus, that heel strap gives you extra protection during intense rollercoasters, while the rubber material and ventilation ports make it possible to conquer water rides without dirtying your footwear.
Chaco Z/2 Adjustable Strap Classic Sandals: On Sale for $69.99+
Again, Chaco doesn't sell the most glamorous sandals, but they work very well. You can see its intense arch from the image, which is a must if you have flatter feet, like us. The adjustable strap also promises security, so no need to worry about shoe flying off on a ride.

Converse Chuck 70: $90
Some people would probably argue that a pair of Converse isn't the shoe you'd want to wear for comfort. However, their '70s edition promises longer wear with an OrthoLite cushioning. Now, you can get the style and the flexibility you desire.
Nike Motiva Walking Shoes: $110
Most athletic shoes fall under the running category. Since these Nike Motiva's are a "walking shoe," you know the brand designed them for longevity. The rocker sole allows your foot to roll through every step with ease. But if you decide to pump up the pace, it's also fantastic for jogging and running.
On Cloudnova Shoes: $159.99
We've noticed a pattern: everyone we knows swears the On sneakers are the best on the market. Hearing these features, it might be true. They have an "engineered mesh upper" next to an "extrenal TPU heel stabilizer." You know it's good when they start whipping out the scientific terminology.
HOKA Bondi 8 Running Shoes: $165
Harry Styles wears HOKA shoes, so we bought a pair of HOKAs, and it was the greatest decision of our lives. You will feel like you're walking on clouds. They're springy, lightweight and created with the softest polyester. Honestly, we think they might be the most stylish gym shoe out there.
