Does anyone always buy new shoes for Disney

[MsDisney23]

Today I bought a new pair of Reebox's for my trip to Disney. This seems to be the norm for me, I was wondering if anyone else buys new sneaker's for their trip. I got a great deal today $39.99 So I put them up for my Disney trip in May. Yes I am obsessed with planning.........

We do. I don't know why but we always have. And now we have a legit reason for it. Someone always ends up having to take off their shoes at security. As my stepdad says "they're not going to let you through if the inspectors pass out looking through your shoes". So we've continued the trend of always getting new shoes before we fly anywhere.

Always. We do a great deal of walking when we visit Disney and nothing helps out like a new pair of shoes. Actually, I usually take two new pairs and switch them late in the day. We usually return to the hotel in the late afternoon. I switch to the nice cool pair before heading back out for the evening.

I usually wear my old broken in pair. New sneakers sometimes hurt until properly broken in

 

[cinmell]

We do.

When I first saw the heading I said no. As Debbie said new shoes can hurt. However when I read your post and it said you bought them now for your May trip that makes a lot more sense. Gives you time to break them in. DH just got a brand new pair for our May trip.

Dear WDWLVR, I will not wear these until my trip in May, I have put them up....... LOL

 

[jvas]

yes....we are going next week to get some..............
anyone need any?

I would definitely only wear shoes that were broken in on a trip to WDW Taking two pairs is a good idea...gives one pair a chance to "rest"

We buy new for the whole family generally, as we usually go in January and the kids new back to school shoes are beat up by then. But I make sure we all wear them for several days before we go. And I always bring along the old standby comfy broken in shoes for spares...................P

We do buy new shoes (actually sneakers), but wear them a few times before we go just to make sure they'll be okay.

OK, I have a confession - not only do I buy new shoes I usually start collecting new clothes for my trip. For out trip to WDW last year I bought new clothes, new underwear, new shoes etc and kept them in my wardrobe in my study so I would not wear them!!!! When I went on the trip I took a spare suitcase so I could buy more clothes and things there (OK clothes are so much cheaper in the USA especially 'lable' clothes e.g. Tommy Hilfiger, DKNY etc.) I actually managed to fill my spare large case which then weighed in at .2kg under the limit for the flight. I was very proud of that, my friends and DH thought it was hilarious!! My firnds 2 cases combined weighed less than my 2nd case!! However I am so determined for my trip to DLP next month I will pack as little as possible. The only new thing I have bought for the trip is a hat and I have been wearing that a lot since I got it!!

New shoes + Disneyland = major blisters!

I always wear nicely worn shoes!

 

[skiwee1]

I buy a new pair of tennis shoes at least a month before my trip and wear them daily. I would never bring a brand new pair to WDW. My shoes have to be broken in before I will attempt to wear them for that much walking. OTOH, I do buy all new undies and socks for my trips.

 

[helenabear]

Nope... I always bring an old pair of Tevas or sometimes tennis shoes (if it is cooler). I just buy shoes when I need to for other reasons.

 

[Disneyland_emily]

Its become a tradition to buy new shoes before Disney-

It started of as a need (my only pair broke the night before I left so at 2am after work I was in the shoe section buying shoes) 2nd time was almost as bad, 3rd I was addicted

I never get really expensive shoes (usually payless canvas) so the break in period isnt bad at all- Course they dont stay white much once down there..)

I already know what kind of shoes Im getting this year (I just hope famous footwear has a buy one egt one half off sale before may)

Honestly I would break them in first.

 

[disykat]

I would never wear new shoes on a trip where I would be doing lots of walking! If I needed new shoes I'd get them a few weeks ahead to get them broken in.

 

[Kallison]

Yes new sneakers and socks! I like everyone to have nice white socks in the pictures. DH always points out all the new sneakers on our transportation rides to the parks.

 

[thatchicktrish]

Yep, we buy new sneakers too. I just got mine about 2 weeks ago and have been wearing them while I do my work out and walk on the treadmill so they're all worn in and comfy by time our trip rolls around. I got Nike Accelerators, they are so comfy! I've worn them almost daily since I got them and they are very lightweight and soft sided so I haven't been bothered by them once! DS got a new pair of Iverson's around x-mas that he will be wearing, he is breaking his in now also. DH will be getting his in a week or so and will break those in before we leave. I would never buy a new pair and not break them in though. We also bought a lot of new clothes and socks and all that stuff. I hardly have any summer type clothes so it was a must, plus, I just love shopping
