WDW Lifeguards... A Question for you!

[Main_Street_Merch]

What kind of shoes do you need? Obviously sandals, but how strict are they on the solid black thing. I found a pair that are affordable, but they have some Grey on them. I'm transferring to Typhoon Lagoon in 2 weeks and I'd like to get shoes before I start training.

You have two options, from what I hear: All black sandals, or white tennis shoes. From what I understand, the all-black rule is applied the same way they do it with shoes for everyone else. That's the experience my wife has had, anyway. All black and a heel strap. Black Crocs are also acceptable.

Also, I notice that once on the stand, most of the lifeguards, at least at Stormalong, are barefoot most of the time.

You can quote me on most of that.
