I love my minimalist sneakers BUT had a major fail on my last trip to WDW. I had a pair of the VERY minimalist New Balance minimus shoes. They were my absolute favorite Disneyland shoes because they were super lightweight and airy. They had mesh on the sides and were very cool on hot days. Some people wear them without socks but I hate sneakers without socks so I always wore them with socks. I wore them to Disneyland many many times (annual passes) and was always happy so naturally I took them to WDW last September.
They were a disaster at WDW. Two minutes into my first morning at Magic Kingdom my feet were soaked to the bone. My husband was wearing normal sneakers and his feet were perfectly dry but my socks would be soaked even if there was just a wet sidewalk (which was every second of that week). It never rains at Disneyland so I didn't realize how the water would get in the shoes so easily. My feet were wet for an entire week. I had to throw the shoes out on the day we left.
So whatever you get, make sure they have enough of a sole for the rain. I now have the sketchers Go Runs and I like them a lot and stay dry in them.
