Protecting your feet

I have written about the Seven Tips to Avoid Sore Feet at Disney because you will likely walk ten miles per day.  You should consider whether or not you will need some new shoes for your Disney trip.

I see it every year: people go to Disney wearing flip flops, crocks, heals, or dress shoes. Those are terrible ideas! After walking for ten miles in unbearable heat, your feet will be screaming in pain!

(1) I have my 2017 Disney Sneakers. Sneakers are only designed to last about a year, so, if you have had your shoes longer than a year? It may be time to invest in a good pair of walking shoes.

(2) When you get the shoes, wear them around the house or on a treadmill and break them in. Make sure they are going to be comfortable for the entire trip.

(3) You may want to consider a good pair of insoles for your shoes. The insoles that comes with sneakers are barely adequate. I have been fitted for Superfeet. They are expensive, but it feels like I am walking on a cloud. I went to a runner's store to get fitted for the insoles. 

(4) I wear a pair of Dri-Power 360 socks. These athletic socks help keep feet dry.

(5) As always, keep toe nails trimmed well and maintained

(6) No matter what you do, it is likely you will get a blister. You'll want to deal with blisters as soon as you can. I usually take moleskin into the park with me.

I hope these 2017 suggestions, along with suggestions from previous years, you can have a fun trip without experience the 'pain of de-feet'.
