We are drawing closer to the 2025 Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend! To celebrate the major Disney World event, Disney and Brooks have teamed up again for a new pair of out-of-this-world shoes.
Perhaps the most important part of your outfit in Disney World is your footwear.

Seriously, wear the wrong shoes and you’ll be legitimately miserable by the end of the day. You want to make sure you’ve got something comfortable that can withstand literally thousands of steps in the theme parks. Many Disney fans swear by Brooks brand for their visits to Disney World, and we’ve compiled a list of shoes that we often see people wearing.
Get ready, get set, and GO because the NEW Disney x Brooks collection has officially dropped online!
runDisney x Brooks
This new collection celebrates the love of Disney characters and runDisney races all while looking cute and comfy as you’re racing to the finish line. There are four different styles — each one with its own special theme — and you’re going to want to HURRY because the collection has already sold out once. This restock won’t last long, so grab a pair (or two!) while you can!
Okay, so, yeah, we talk a lot about shoes here at Disney Food Blog.

It’s not that we’re obsessed with shoes (okay, maybe a little), but we’ve learned that when you visit Disney World, the shoes you wear on your trip MATTER. You’ll be walking miles and miles and MILES each day on concrete and your feet will take a pounding. The right shoe can make all the difference. Well, one of the shoe brands we often recommend is Brooks, and we’ve got some BIG news: Brooks is collaborating with runDisney for some new shoes!
One of the most-asked questions we hear is, “What shoes are best for Disney World?” Well, as people who go to Disney World every day, we feel uniquely qualified to answer this.
Magic Kingdom
Disney World requires a lot of walking, and if you haven’t been in a while, you might be thinking, “Well, I walk around a lot every day,” but Disney World is different. With four parks plus Disney Springs, Disney hotels, and water parks to conquer during your trip, your feet will need support and structure to survive. We are telling you the shoes we think are best for your Disney trip in hopes of helping you have the best trip possible.
We are in the parks EVERY single day! In addition to knowing A LOT about the Disney parks, we also know quite a bit about what products work and don’t work while you are in the parks.

We have tried out so many different brands to find the best Disney essentials, and now we are sharing some of our favorite brands with you!
Disney’s marathon events happen throughout the year at parks around the world.

These events are lots of fun for participants and their friends and families. You get to dash around the parks before they open, see lots of your favorite Disney characters, and enjoy special events specifically for the runners and their guests. Disney World alone holds several of these events each year. Now, runDisney has made a special announcement for 2025!
One of the LEAST magical things about Disney World is how much your feet can hurt at the end of a long day in the parks. Each of the four parks is pretty big, so you’re likely to walk a long way, no matter where you’re visiting.
Expect a LOT of walking
Our reporters — who are in the parks every day — walk about 10 to 12 MILES every day. On busy days, and especially if they’re park hopping, they’ll walk up to 15 miles. 😱 Needless to say, you’re going to want some high-quality footwear for your Disney World vacation. But how do you know which shoes to choose? Here’s what the DFB readers said when we asked them which shoes they wear to the parks. [Read more…]
