There are great shoes for Disney World, there are “meh” shoes for Disney World, and there are also downright awful shoes for the parks.

You need the right shoes for Disney World

The choice is different for everyone, as some people have higher arches and need more support, and some are the complete opposite and need something totally flat. We don’t often tell you that there are any shoes you absolutely should never wear in the parks, but we’ll be honest, if any of us choose to wear Crocs into the parks, we ALWAYS avoid escalators for a very serious reason.

Planning guide for the ultimate Disney vacation

Crocs in Disney World can be great — they dry easily, you often don’t have to worry about wet socks (unless you choose to wear socks with your Crocs), and this is especially great if you plan on going on lots of water rides. However, you’ll want to make sure your Crocs are very well broken in before your trip!

Crocs

However, Crocs and escalators don’t have a great relationship. We’ve seen far too many times just how easy it is for Crocs to get stuck in escalators, especially with kids who are still learning how to easily get off and on. Don’t believe us? Well, we’ve got pictures to prove it.

Uh oh

Yep, this is just ONE of the many times we’ve seen this happen. Thankfully, no one was hurt in this scenario, but not only does it mean that your shoes are now totally ruined and you have to buy new ones, but it also completely stops the escalator and puts it out of commission for a while.

No Crocs allowed on Disney World escalators

In fact, no Crocs are ALLOWED on Disney World escalators, but many people disregard this rule anyway, and that’s how situations like this happen. Abide by the signs and make sure your shoes don’t meet this same fate!
