Everyone is talking about what Gen Z and Millennials wear to the Disney World parks, but grandpas vacation, too!
Main Street, U.S.A.
I’ve been going to the Disney parks with my grandfather for many years, and although certain shoe trends have changed over time, comfort has never gone out of style. If you want to be in on the trends or you’re just looking for a pair of reliable shoes to take thousands of steps in, we’ve got you covered!

If we had to pinpoint ONE trend that we see with grandfathers in Disney World, it would be slip-on shoes. I get it — the easier to get a shoe on, the better! Recently, we’ve seen dozens of people wearing these Hey Dude Shoes in the parks. Between that and the fact that they are a #1 best seller on Amazon, they’ve got to be popular for a reason!
This Skechers Slip-in Sneaker is everywhere right now.

Looking for a different slip-on option? Skechers might have just the pair! The Skechers Men’s Summits High Range Hands Free Slip-in Sneaker is another #1 best seller on Amazon, and for good reason. These are made with an air-cooled memory foam insole, a heel pillow to hold your foot in place, AND they are machine washable. What’s not to love?
We love the Hoka Bondi 9 Sneaker!

Hoka shoes are popular among every generation, and I totally get why! I own the women’s version of the Bondi 9 sneaker, and these shoes feel like walking on a cloud. It makes taking thousands of steps per day feel like a breeze! Plus, with an all-black pair, you can match them with any outfit.
Or, you can grab a pair of Nike Pegasus Running Shoes!

Nike is one of the most famous brands for a reason, and our reporters spot them every single day in Disney World. These are made with mesh so they are breathable, and since they are running shoes, they are supportive for lots of impact (AKA walking around World Showcase or “running” to a ride during rope drop).
And finally, the Cole Haan Shoes can keep your secrets…

Heading to a fancy restaurant like California Grill or the brand new Bourbon Steak? Nobody has to know that these Cole Haan shoes are actually sneakers! These look nice enough to dress up, or you can wear them on a typical park day. I’m a huge fan of the versatility!
