How Many Pairs of Shoes Do You Bring to Disney?

A laughable number...that’s how many. I like to have lots of changes - probably wear 3 pairs a day that way my feet stay “fresh” and I rarely have any issues walking the 10 miles a day. I don’t bring a single pair of running shoes though. Something about my body chemistry and running shoes for a long time makes for blisters and sweaty/stinky feet despite having shoes fitted at the running store (my shoes are great for a 4 miler) and the moisture wicking socks. No body wants to sit next to the lady with the stinky feet on transport and rides.
 
Usually 4. Running shoes for working out, 2 pairs of skechers for the parks and a pair of flip flops for the pool.
 
For shoes, I suggest at least two pairs for walking around the parks. Make sure you break them in and that they do not slip in the heel. Also make sure the front of your foot does not scrunch. Wear one pair one day then give it a rest the next. If you're going water parking or using your hotel's pool bring a pair of water shoes or flip flops also. If you wish to bring a dress pair for a dress code dinner than bring them too. For socks I suggest something other than cotton. The new dry max polyesters, merino wool, acrylic, whichever you like. Make sure it is snug, but not tight.
 

One pair of comfy flip flops (or if it's especially cold one pair of tennis shoes). If I were planning a nice dinner out I'd bring a pair of heels for that.
 
Usually three - flats, sneakers, sandals - maybe a second pair of one of the above. We often visit a friend in West Palm Beach after we drive to Disney so I might take a 4th pair as we go to nicer places there. But all of the above must be comfortable for walking even though I don't do that much walking anymore as I am disabled.

My DH on the other hand has been known to take an entire suitcase of shoes - basically every pair that he owns.

That’s funny that he takes an entire case! Just like my DH
 
Two pair - one pair of sneakers and a second pair of sneakers if the first pair gets soaked.
 
1 - my flipflops

why in the WORLD would you need multiple pairs of shoes!

I only OWN one pair of shoes!
Guess I’m afraid of blisters & we have a lot of ADR’s so some are just dinner shoes, although they are all comfortable they vary in colors too.
 
I take every pair I own... So 2 :D. The regular sneakers I wear every day and a pair of flip flops whose sole existence is for when my feet are wet after swimming. I'm the weirdo who will wear sneakers with a dress and have zero shame.
 
I like to wear my sneakers on the plane, then have a couple different pair of Skecher Go Walks, and maybe a pair of slip on croc knockoffs for the pool area. So, I guess 4.
 
For Disney- 4. Two tennis shoes (in case one gets wet), chacos sandals, and flip flops for the pool and room. We don't ever dress up at Disney so no need for nicer shoes.
 
2 - flip flops and croc sandals.
I wear the croc sandals to our one nice dinner.
Way too hot to wear runners and socks.

ETA- when we went in January I did have runners on my feet when we left home due to the snow here but never wore them down there.

Sorry but 6 pairs is ridiculous.
 
2- my teva flip flops for the parks and my cheapie flip flops for the pool
 
Let’s see, for our next trip—two pairs of sneakers for alternating for days in the parks, Sanuks for nights in the parks (less walking than days) and travel, Havaianas for the pool/room, low wedge sandals, and a high pair of wedges for our planned Springs bar crawl night. 6.
