You know…sometimes we see things, and we kinda wish we could unsee them.
Main Street, U.S.A.
But at the same time, we’re happy we saw it because it means we can un-influence you from it to save you some trouble on your Disney World vacation, OR, on the flip side, it helps us recommend something that will truly make your trip easier. We try a lot of different products around here to see what’s really worth it on your Disney World vacation, and these new shoes…well, these new shoes are a disaster waiting to happen, and we’re begging you not to wear them to the parks.
A fashion show is on its way to Disneyland Paris on October 1st, and people from around the world can watch it live at 10:30PM CET! Coperni, the brand hosting the show, will be showing off its Summer 2025 collection. But why are we talking about a fashion show, you ask? Well, because these shoes were featured to be part of it, and we had a visceral reaction to them.

Listen, we are never one to judge what you choose to wear to the parks, HOWEVER we feel it’s of utmost importance to tell you that these are NOT a good fit for Disney World for a multitude of reasons. But the number one reason is easily those trolley tracks on Main Street. Those are ankle twisters for people in sandals and tennis shoes; we can’t imagine how easy it would be to step your high heel into the track, and oops, down you go.

Now, seasoned park goers may be looking at these and going, “Duh, I would never wear those to the parks, I know what I’m doing.” But we’ve been seeing these EVERYWHERE, meaning that we’re expecting to see a trend pop up soon where people are wearing them in the parks, and we’re here to tell you now that no matter how cute you think they are, they are probably NOT a good idea. Your feet will likely start to hurt in 0.2 seconds, and you likely won’t be able to truly enjoy any of the park because you’ll be in so much pain — and that’s if you DON’T twist your ankle on the trolley tracks.
Especially if it’s slippery from rain? Game over in those shoes
Trust us, we’ve been there — you have the perfect outfit planned, and you feel it’ll be ruined by your comfortable, supportive sandals and/or sneakers. Yes, we’ve been tempted to make that mistake more times than we’d care to admit, and some of us DO make that mistake and regret it 1/3 of the way (or sooner) into our park day. If you’re planning a fast-paced, move it and groove it Disney World day, we don’t recommend wearing shoes that aren’t broken in, have any sort of heel, or you know are uncomfortable. The good news is, most Disney World photos can be taken from the torso up, or you can crop your feet out, so no one will ever know that you weren’t wearing those super cute shoes.

Instead, bring those cute shoes along for a table service dining reservation in the evening! Then, you won’t be wearing them for too long and aren’t spending all day walking around, but can still get some great photos in them. You can also utilize a locker inside the parks if you want to bring the other set of shoes with you to change into without going back to your hotel or car.

Comfort trumps style when it comes to walking around Disney. My cheap velcro Wal-Mart shoes that I’ve been wearing for the last few decades are old-people comfortable when *not* walking, but left me with a sizable blister on one foot. Next trip, arch support and Hoka shoes. (and kudos to the Disney store that actually had blister pads)
Why would anyone buy this is beyond me! It seems to be very uncomfortable!
I have seen over the years of visits, women wearing heels, a couple of times stilettos, it made my feet ache when I saw it, but there again saw a young lady trying to walk on the beach in the sand with high heels. I would bet they would never do it again. Different strokes for those different folks.
Oh, as far as those ugly mouse shoes, I myself being clumsy would trip on the ears,
On top of that, these shoes have heels! Why would anyone be walking around the park all day in heels? Your feet will be sore by the end of the day, leaving you exhausted and terrible until you take them off in your hotel room! No thanks!
I am a pretty big Disney fan, not as big as many, and I’ve seen lots of items and experiences I envied, but these shoes are beyond me. They seem like something created on a dare or a bet, and I’m fairly open minded about what’s ‘cute,’ but I can’t get there with these. Even if I was going to Disneybound for a special occasion, I can’t see choosing these. Maybe for an entire Mickey-ear themed fit? I think I’d rather put Mickey ear clips on a pair of patent or felt pumps. But it’s still hard to understand high heels in a theme park unless it’s for a photo op and then back into something reasonable.
Having been to Disneyland Paris twice, not sure which part they are pretending to be in, but I can assure you that those shoes would not make it past the entrance. That park is made for tennis shoes.
My daughter had lots of unkind things to say about them and she is most likely their target demographic.
Those shoes should only be made for plushies, not humans.
