You may think you have comfortable walking shoes, and you'll need them. You might be used to walking 5k – 10k steps a day in them, but I recommend really stress testing them with 25k – 30k steps at least once to see how your feet hold up in them. Most days we were walking 15k – 20k+ steps in Japan.
I found my normal dog walking shoes that get about 5-10k steps per day absolutely failed me once that first day at Tokyo Disney hit and we did 29k steps.
Most of my 3 week trip, I was bleeding and blistered out somewhere of my toes. I had New Balance 1080 v13s which are supposed to be amazing walking shoes, but after miles and miles of walking they caused huge blisters on my pinky and big toe. This is something they never caused before because I had never walked more than a couple miles or 3 at a time in them.
My Nike Jordan Low OGs ended up being more comfortable to walk around in all day because of that.
So, before you come, talk a long 2 hour walk/hike in them to see how your feet really hold up in them.
