Swim shoes on Aquaduck?

[Jillikins]

Can my kids wear their swim shoes on the Aquaduck? I prefer to have them wearing their shoes around deck whenever possible.

I wore mine. The deck is slippery and the stairs are hot. I have heard others who weren't allowed to. I guess it depends on the CM maybe. Make sure they fit well, if something falls off on the ride and stays in the tube, they will have to shut it down and drain it and you will not be popular

I wore mine... my kids complained that the steps were burning hot in the sun! They also allowed me to keep my glasses on, made my daughter take hers off... enforcement or lack thereof seems spotty...

Have to ditto all....they made us take our shoes off....and it was HOT on the feet.
Kept my glasses on, though.

If I went again, I'd insist on leaving my swim shoes on....or tell the CM's to go walk barefoot on the hot deck and stairs to test it for me first.

I asked and they said it was fine to wear my swim shoes (Fantasy).

I had to LOL to the part about them testing it out - my DS truly did "burn" his the one time he didn't wear them and it was THAT hot! If we are cruising in the Caribbean during the peak hot months, for sure he'll be wearing a pair of them! He also wears glasses and I don't think they've made him take those off.

I thought the "rule" was that you could keep your water shoes on if they were the type that "enclosed" your foot (shoes that couldn't fly off during the ride) --- and that flip-flop types were Not allowed....you'd have to take them off and sit on them. Is this wrong info??????

What about a pair of sandals?

This...what about things like Keens?

Sandals, flip flops, crocks are all no's.... I believe the closed toe water shoes that don't fall off are fine, sunglasses are not allowed, but prescription glasses were, I suspect that if someone's vision was really bad and got hurt going up the stairs they would be responsible, curious what they do for prescription sunglasses

I was thinking of ones that you strap on to your foot, not the ones you just slip on.

something like the above.

First question I would ask is why would you wear this to the pool?

I doubt it

To avoid burning your feet.
To provide protection against debris.
To provide traction to avoid slip and fall accidents.

To each there own but leather sandals and water don't seem like the best mix... You could technically wear rain boots for the Same purposes described but probably not the best idea

I just grabbed the picture more as an example of the type, I would definitely not were leather in water of any kind.

Ditto I'd never walk around around the ship barefoot

They made my son take them off. My friend said they let her DS keep them on. Speedo surf walker type, all enclosed. Kids had same ones- they are in same class. So I really think it is up to CM, but they aren't supposed to allow it. My friend said that they made guests with flip flops, crocs, and open sandals were asked to take them off.
Ours was on Fantasy, January 2013. My friend did Fantasy in September 2013.

One pair of mine are identical to that, only they aren't leather, and they're made specifically to wear in and around water.

If I were to do it over again, I'd wear my flip flops and stuff 'em in my swimsuit bottom when I got to the top of the line. It's insane that no one in the design department thought about how hot it was going to be, standing in that line.

They typically aren't real leather. They are river sandals intended to be worn in and around water.
This is what I wear.

We wore the shoes on the Aquaduck last trip and no one even noticed them---

So if you are wearing flip flops, etc. that they make you take off, are you allowed to sit on them, put in a pocket or something?
