Theme Parkist Shoes Gift for Disney Fans
When you’re walking 8+ miles per day at a Disney theme park, your feet take a beating. Every Disney fan is always looking for the best kicks for their theme park days and their outfits. Theme Parkist is new on the scene and is aiming to make a huge mark in the theme park fan space.
Not only do they have designs inspired by your favorite theme parks and attractions, their zero-inventory production facilities use eco-certified textiles and inks to deliver made-to-order shoes to your door. This focus on the planet with a theme park twist had me eager to try their shoes.
I ordered the Spaceship Freestyle Sunrise, which was sent to me to test by Theme Parkist. It was especially a hard opt in for them because I am known for sporting my flip flops in the parks year-round. I am still breaking these babies in for their spin at the parks but love the light-weight and flexible feel.
I used their at home sizing guide to ensure correct sizing and picked the design that spoke most to me. I love bright colors and how this design echos theme parks without being too over the top.
