Disney World is our favorite place ever and we go to the parks every chance we get.
Luckily, my in-laws are members of the Disney Vacation Club and they take us along!
Fun at the parks involves a lot of walking and my daughter and I like to do it in style
wearing our Tieks. We are huge fans of Tieks ballet flats and we wear them all of the
time. They are the most comfortable shoes that I own!
Madison and I both have wide feet and finding flats that fit us properly was nearly
impossible until we discovered Tieks ballet flats. Tieks are built to mold to your feet
and flex with you as you walk. The bottom of the shoes have thick, non-skid rubber
patches that provide traction and act as shock absorbers, allowing the shoes to be
wearable all day, every day! The best part is no more rubbing or blisters on our feet
wearing flats!
Before I discovered Tieks I tried many different brands of flats, but by the end of
the day my feet were blistered or sore. Tieks are the only flats that I can wear all
day and night and my feet still feel great!
I realize that the price of a pair of Tieks can make you second guess yourself
before ordering, but to me they are worth every penny in comfort alone! I would
rather own a few pair of shoes that are comfortable and stylish than have a closet
full of inexpensive shoes that I can't or don't wear.
Part of the fun of any Disney trip is planning what to wear. I love wearing Disney
inspired clothing at the parks and matching my outfits with Tieks ballet flats makes it
even more fun! With 58 prints, patents, classics and more, there are Tieks for every
outfit and occasion! I love that they look just as good with my work clothes as they do
with jeans and shorts!
Mustard yellow Tieks match this super cute I love Dole Whip tank perfectly!

A crafty friend added a Minnie Mouse pocket to this gray t-shirt, which looks great with
cardinal red Tieks. I also got crafty and made couple of pairs of mouse ear headbands to
wear on our trip.
We can walk around Disney in our Tieks all day and our feet feel fine. We love how
the shoes fold in half for easy packing too. They are so small that you can carry them
in your purse, which I have done a time or two because I couldn't decide which color
I wanted to wear!
On this trip we stayed at Disney's Saratoga Spring Resorts. Saratoga Springs is one of
our favorites, but you can't go wrong when you stay on Disney property. We also love
the Polynesian, Grand Floridian and the Boardwalk!
Tieks ballet flats are so versatile! They look great with jeans, leggings, shorts, dresses
and skirts! I bet Cinderella wishes she had a pair too :)
I love that they can go from work to play and still look fabulous with any outfit.
Tieks hold up really well too. I bought my first pair over a year ago and they still
look and feel great. If they get dirty, just wipe them clean with a damp cloth and
you're good to go! The color selection is amazing - so many choices! Silver Lake
Tieks are next on my wish list. I would own every color if I could!
Tieks customer service is the best! Each pair of Tieks arrive in the prettiest little
blue box with a thoughtful, handwritten note from the Tieks team. Shipping is
super fast too!
We love eating our way around Disney almost as much as the rides and entertainment!
It's always fun to discover new treats. We found the strawberry macaron ice cream
sandwiches in France at Epcot and they were delicious!
Tieks are the perfect shoes to wear anywhere, but Disney World is the place we love
to wear them most of all! It's our happy place!
If you're on the fence about ordering your first pair of Tieks read this post.
If you're wondering how Tieks hold up over time, read this.
I love my tieks! I have the black pair, but currently trying to figure out which color I want next! I was sold on fuchsia, but your red and yellow pairs look SO cute! Now I think I'm between fuchsia and yellow lol.
ReplyDeleteAren't they they best flats ever Carley! My fuchsia pair was my first pair of Tieks and also my favorite - I wear them all the time! Thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteI love my Teiks too! But, I'm saying this from personal experience, wearing them to Disney when it's the hotter months is not a good idea! They are fine in the winter, but Teiks are leather and leather and sweat don't mix. Your feet will be blistering and in a lot of pain from rubbing all day if you wear them during the hot summer months, I learned this the hard way when I wore mine at Disney in September! They were great in December though! Also, it is well known in Florida to get caught in sudden rain storms. It should be noted that Teiks shrink a bit when they get wet, so not the best shoe in a rain storm either.
ReplyDeleteHi Tracy! Thanks for the advice. The temperatures have only been in the 80's when I've worn them at Disney, so I haven't experienced wearing them in temperatures above 85. Enjoy your Tieks!
DeleteI wear my Tieks year round down here, and a annual pass holder ��. To help with the sweating, I have put in thin inserts that help absorb and you can then wear them all day. As for getting wet, which is everyday right now, I put another shoe on top of them to dry flat. They will be a little stiff for the first 15mins, but then back to normal. I have about 15 pairs, and won't stop there ��. Awesome article!
DeleteThanks for the comments about summer. I was wondering if I could wear Tieks comfortably in the summer at Disney World. I will hold out on wearing my Teiks until the cooler weather sets in again. Love the pics in your blog!
ReplyDeleteHi Yvonne! I wear my Tieks all year long and thanks for the nice comment about my photos!
Deletei wish i could afford a pair..i searched for "knock off`s" can`t find any..had disabling illness affect my feet ..aways looking for comfort..i don`t walk gracefully ..but thankful i can walk..was hit with "guillian` barre` syndrom..like (m.s.( 35 years old..then..take care of your health...it can be taken away in a second
DeleteI just bought my first pair in ballerina pink to wear in Europe on vacation next week. I'm breaking them in and wearing them around the last few days but they are not super comfy. : ( did it take you awhile to break them in? They are super cute though! ❤️
ReplyDeleteNone of mine have had a break in period. Are you sure you have the right size? It took me a couple of tries until I hit the sweet spot with which pair fit my feet the best. They have free shipping and returns, and they will ship the new pair out immediately, eve. If they haven't gotten the first pair back yet. (Just don't wear them outside, or they won't let you return.)
DeleteI had to break mine in. I wore socks with them to stretch them out a bit and to get the top of my foot used to the area it rubs. Now they are perfect!
DeleteMy pair was comfortable after wearing them around the house for a day!
DeleteI didn't have a break in period for any of mine - they felt good right away. I did have one pair that made a squeeking sound when I walked for a little bit, but then it stopped after a few wears.
DeleteI have three pairs of Tieks (matte black, cardinal red and classic navy) and all three had a break in period for my left foot only due to the way my foot is made, I guess; I almost returned the first pair I bought but am so happy I did not; after a few weeks of daily wear, they fit like a glove...I did go up a half size to an 8 since they are only available in full sizes. But Tieks was gracious enough to allow me to try both the 7 and 8 at the same time without charging me. I then returned the size 7 pair at no cost to me. And like Me and My Pink Mixer, I have not been compensated in any way by Tieks~other than providing me with great customer service! LOL
DeleteDoes the elastic around the shoe feel tight or dig in your skin?
ReplyDeleteNo I have 5 pair and non of mine dug in!
DeleteHi Jeanne! My Tieks do not feel tight or dig in.
DeleteI have admired tieks from a distance. I'm afraid to take the plunge because in addition to having wide feet I have plantar fasciitis. Is there adequate arch support in them?
ReplyDeleteThey don't have arch support per se, but I have the same problem, and my feet feel great all day in them!
DeleteHI Eileen! I have wide feet and Tieks fit me and my feet feel great in them all day too!
DeleteI did an an insert to one of mine when I developed plantar fascitis and it helped tremendously. It did not show and I bought the removable insert at Target. After a couple weeks, the pain went away and I was fine.
DeleteI have a high arch and the lack of support in my Tieks dont bother me at all! My first pair was Fuchsia and then i had to have navy, them ballerina pink, then golden glitz...i only wish i had discovered these years ago.
DeleteI actually have wide feet and bunions, and I think my Tieks are great! They also have more arch support than all my other flats :)
ReplyDeleteThey don't dig into the bunion? That's my issue with ballet slip-ons, but if these don't dig, I may just but a pair.
DeleteHi Jennifer! I think Tieks have really good support for a ballet flat style shoe. Mine don't dig into my feet at all.
DeleteWould an arch support fit in Tieks? I can't wear flats without support and I have very wide fee. I would love to try a pair but I'm worried.
ReplyDeleteI haven't used an arch support, so I'm not sure, but I also have very wide feet and they fit me.
DeleteMy daughter has very thin, long feet with long toes. Would these shoes work for her?
ReplyDeleteI don't see why not. If your daughter has any problems - Tieks customer service is great!
DeleteI also have multiple pairs of Tieks. I live in a very rainy climate and think nothing of wearing them in the rain, heat, even snow by accident a few times. I recommend Kushyfoot foot covers. I wear those and they soak up sweat and rain. When my feet are drenched, I take them off and swap them for a dry pair. I too have worn these shoe to Disney for days on end. I also wear them nearly everyday at work, where I'm on my feet and working with kids who step on me for about 10 hours at a time. Like the author of this blog, I have shared my joy with many and likely brought them countless customers. Love, love, these shoes. I have some pairs over 5 years old now, and I simply build polishing into my routine about every 4 months.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all of the comments! I will have to try the Kishyfoot foot covers sometime and hello to a fellow Tieks fan!
Deletewhat do you use for polishing?
DeleteI love those kind of flats... were do I get them?? I usually by flats like that by another brand.. but I would like to try them...
ReplyDeleteThey sell them on their website - tieks.com!
DeleteHi Miroslava! You can purchase Tieks from their website @ Tieks.com. Happy shopping!
DeleteI have Plantar fasciitis and I want cute comfy shoes. Will these help?
ReplyDeleteNot sure, but I've heard great things from my mom who has bad feet. Also, Tieks has a great return policy if they don't work out. So I say give them a try :)
DeleteHi Lisa! I'm not familiar with Plantar fascitis, so I really don't know.
DeleteI have plantar fasciitis and I wear Tieks all the time because they feel so good when I wear them. I can get out of bed with my feet hurting, put on my Tieks, and it is as if I do not have any pain. For this reason, I bought my second pair. Love them and wear them nearly every day... even in the Oklahoma summer heat! I first bought the Metallic Silver and just recently bought the Mustard Yellow. They both go with SO many outfits. I am currently saving up for my third pair... which I am looking at the Poppy in hopes that it will go with all my Oklahoma State orange. ;-)
DeleteI love my tieks! I have a few pairs and wear them to Disneyland as well! I wanna get the leopard print one but it's outta stock right now. Hopefully they'll come in before the school year starts!
ReplyDeleteHello fellow Tieks fan! It looks like the leopard print is back in stock - just in time for back to school!
DeleteDo they make your feet atink overtime?
ReplyDeleteI have five pairs and none of them smell! I always try to air it out after a long day of wearing them though :).
DeleteI haven't had any problems with mine smelling yet.
DeleteVery pretty shoes and they had better be great for that price.
ReplyDeleteHi LaRica! They are pretty aren't they! To me they are definitely worth the price!
DeleteThank you for this post. My husband and I love going to Disneyland, but shoes are always a sore subject for us, pulling sometimes 17 hour days! Finding the right shoe is a huge part of making the day a success. You have convinced me! I also like looking nice at Disney, and these are just adorable. Is your daughter wearing the Ballerina Pink Tieks? I think those are the ones I want.
ReplyDeleteHi Rosie! Isn't Disney the best! Yes my daughter is wearing the Ballerina Pink Tieks - she loves them!
DeleteHi, do you wear them with socks or no?
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking about getting a pair or two or three!
Hi Tammy! No I do not wear them with socks. I think you will love them!
DeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteDo you need to wear any socks or foot covering? Or, can you just stick your naked feet into the Tieks? I live in Florida and any foot covering just makes me hot.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
I just stick my naked feet right in!
DeleteSeriously? $200 for these shoes!?
ReplyDeleteThe pair I bought was $175 and no shipping costs; and I thought a long time, saved my pennies and invested in a pair of matte black Tieks. I have worn them every day (except for a few special occasions) for the last year....so for 365 days of wear, I would say less than a dollar a day, it's worth it! I have tossed all my other flats away and have recently added two additional pairs to give some variety to my shoe wardrobe. I do not wear high heels, open toed sandals, boots or tennis shoes...just Tieks!
ReplyDeleteThe Tieks I have purchased were $175 as well and I wear mine all the time because they are the only comfortable flats that I can find. Well worth it to me.
DeleteI just purchased my second pair. Only complaint I have is that I have to break the right shoe in more. Its hurts the heel of foot when I am wearing them. However after about a few weeks of wear. They fit better. Looking forward to getting my third pair soon.
ReplyDeleteI wear my black and navy Tieks all the time. Now I want red and yellow!
ReplyDeleteI find I wear my bright colors more so than the black ones because they're so fun!
DeleteI just cant see spending that much for a pair of flats... Dont get me wrong, i love them and wish i could have every pair.... But ive had cancer for 4.5 years and seem to spend all my money trying to get well... But i love them my pintrist page is covered in them. .. But im not working right now due to dr appointments and radiation. So i guess i will just love them from afar
ReplyDeleteGood
ReplyDeleteHi fellow Tiekers! Hi pink mixer! I finally figured it out with my Tieks. The full grain is the way for me. So, I sent back the top grain and ordered pink ballerina (so I thought) and cali navy. I received the navy but fushia also was sent ( not the ballerina pink) The full grain is a dream! Do I keep the fushia and do I get the black instead of keeping the navy. That's my dilemma.
ReplyDeleteThe brighter pink is fun and I'm wondering how much brighter they are than the ballerina.
I wear jeans constantly and I'm kinda 'old school' with the matchy matchy thing.
What are the comments?
I appreciate all of you. Thanks
Maureen (or Moe for short) :)
Ah... another rich white woman on the internet who can afford to throw away $200 on shoes and thinks I should, too.
ReplyDeleteDo you wear the little footies (that’s what I call them) with them?
ReplyDeleteNo I don't Charlotte - I just wear them with my bare feet.
DeleteI prefer my regular crocs. They can get wet, my back does not hurt with them on...love them. Oh and did I say they are not expensive? My dh has had foot problems from an embolism going to his toe and doctor prescribed crocs!
ReplyDeleteI've never worn crocs, but I know friends that love them. Maybe some day I'll give them a try. Thanks for stopping by Debra!
DeleteIt's so funny that I saw this blog post! I will be going to Disney next year and I was recently thinking if I were going to walk around the park with sneakers or Tieks. LOL Tieks it is! Cute post.
ReplyDeleteIsn't Disney the best! Have fun no matter what you decide to wear and thanks for commenting.
DeleteThis must be a post sponsored by Tieks in some way. I bought a pair of Tieks last year for a trip to Paris. I tried them several months before my departure...ouch. They were most uncomfortable, but I was still determined to wear them around Paris, as I had seen posts relating to how great they are. Wrong! They are so uncomfortable! I haven't worn them since, and feel like just throwing them away (I do not wish the pain on anyone else if I donate them.
ReplyDeleteI feel ya. Chronic pancreatitis here. I LOVE a comfortable shoe but we all they aren’t the cutest choices. TEIKS are so cute and trendy and even though I don’t get to get out much I’ve always been a lover of the newest trends! How on earth am I gonna pull 200 for a pair of shoes? And I’ve never had a pair that didn’t bother my feet SOMEHOW. So I guess I’ll start a change jar and maybe I can afford them before they are outta style in 10 years!
ReplyDeleteOk, so I did get a ballet pink pair about a year ago. Cute, NOT comfortable after the first hour. They dig into my rather large right big toe bone after an hour. I should have sent them back. However, I am keeping them for "short wearing" times. I have worn much, much cheaper shoes from Ross that I can and have worn at Disney World all day.
ReplyDeleteThat's so weird! Mine were comfortable right out of the box. My husband and I just took our two little boys to Disney World last month and my Tieks were comfortable the entire week we were there. Maybe yours will be comfortable after a short break-in period :).
DeleteSorry to hear you didn't find Tieks to be as comfortable as I do. All of mine are comfortable from the beginning, but I know everyone is different. Have fun at Disney!
DeleteI love mine for shorter walk abouts...just my weird right toe...have a great summer!
DeleteThanks Yvonne! I hope you have a great summer as well!
DeleteI love my Tieks! Logged many, many, many steps in them on a trip to Disney World last year and my feet never complained!
ReplyDeleteMe to Alicia! Disney is a fun place to wear our Tieks!
DeleteI envy you Alicia and Anonymous! My Tieks are adorable, and I don't think the problem is the shoe, per se. I am convinced it is the almost bone-spur like protruding bone on my right big toe. : ( I am glad that I kept my ballet flats for shorter days on my feet. Skeechers and other name brand walking shoes that I have found at Ross have been working quite well. We have a 3 day trip to Disney World coming up at the end of this month (July)
ReplyDeleteto celebrate our daughters 18th birthday. So excited! Happy summer all!
This is great! I've been eyeing Tieks for a while and this convinced me to order my first pair!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope you like them as much as I do Jessica!
DeleteI'm a total Tieks fan! I wear them to work all the time. When we took the kids to Universal Studios I wore my mustards all day with no problems :)
ReplyDeleteI wear mine to work all of the time to Christina. I just can't do heels any more! I must get to Universal sometime soon - I've never been!
DeleteCute blog! Thanks for making this review. I own two pairs of Tieks and one of my friends still isn't convinced. I'll show her this! I love Tieks!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kelsey! What color are your Tieks? I'm thinking of getting another pair, but can't decide on the color - so many pretty choices!
DeleteI just wore my Tiek’s at Disneyland last week! My feet were the only part of me that wasn’t sore. I have 3 pair so far and just love them!
ReplyDeleteDisneyland is on my bucket list - I hope to get there some day soon! I just love Tieks too! What colors did you choose Kim?
