I am 5'3" and I hate being this short, too. I normally wear wedges or platforms. You rarely see me in less than a 3-inch heel. That being said, I wear sneakers or comfy (1"-2" heel) shoes when I am at
Disneyland. It's better than having sore feet at the end of the day. Just ask yourself what you would wear if you were going to walk for 5-6 miles...
