We’ve all been there – you rope drop Disney World, so excited for the day, just to have to leave before fireworks because your feet are so sore. And if you’re on vacation, imagine that four or five days in a row! Your park shoes really can make or break your Disney trip.

We LOVE these!
Here at Disney Food Blog, we’re Disney experts who are at the parks all day, every day. We’ve tested every sneaker under the sun to see what holds up and stays comfortable all day long at Disney World. We love HOKAs for their durability and comfort, but a viral HOKA dupe is said to be just as good as the real thing. We put them to the test to see how they compare!

Nortiv 8s
These NORTIV 8s are super comfortable, but don’t have as much cushioning as HOKAs. We weren’t able to walk all day for multiple days in a row without foot fatigue. With HOKAs, we can easily get multiple ten-hour-long park days without soreness, but these shoes aren’t a good choice if you’ll be walking for long periods multiple days in a row.

Nortiv 8s
Like HOKAs, these NORTIV 8s have great arch support. They have a comfortable heel support and conform to the grooves of your feet. They felt very stable and aligned after a long park day! Plus, this pink color and all seven color options are just as stylish, if not more than, our HOKAs.
Hoka Clifton 10
The Hoka Women’s Clifton 10s are one of our favorite shoes ever. They’re ultra comfortable with so much support from a bouncy heel. They’re springy to the heels and soles of your feet when you step, but not in a way that makes you feel like you’re going to leap into the air with each step. It’s a gentle give that greets your foot as you walk.

One of our favorite shoes!
These HOKA Clifton 10s look chunky, but they’re so lightweight that we could barely even feel them. These babies are built for long-term wear – we’ve had them for years, and they’re still going strong!
The shoes you wear in Disney World are so important, which is why you can count on us to give you our honest reviews so you know what shoes to buy for your next Disney World vacation. We’re always on the hunt for the latest and greatest Disney souvenirs and essentials, so don’t forget to stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for more!

Sorry Nortiv, these Hoka Women’s Clifton 10s still win gold!
