Does Disney allow open toe shoes?

A lot of first-timers ask whether there is an “closed-toe policy” regarding shoes at the Disney Parks. The answer is no — there is no closed-toe shoe policy. Open-toe shoes, like flip-flops, are just fine. The only shoe restriction at Disney World is that you can't roll around on skate shoes.
