We speak from experience when we say that finding the right pair of shoes for a day at the Orlando theme park can be a challenge.
You want a pair that’s comfortable enough to wear all day, but also sturdy and supportive enough to withstand long periods of walking and standing.
Of course, depending on the time of year you’re visiting Orlando you may also want a pair of shoes that’s able to cope with various weather conditions too.
