When you go to Disney World, there are rules you have to follow to ensure everyone stays safe.

Most of these rules are self-explanatory and familiar rules you’ll find at other theme parks — no running, no horseplay, no fighting with other guests or workers. Disney, however, does have some additional rules. For example, anyone over the age of 14 is banned from wearing a Disney costume to the parks, and no masks are allowed to be part of any costume. But is it possible that another interesting rule could make it to the parks due to shoe safety, effectively BANNING a popular shoe?

According to Today, an anti-Croc movement is beginning around the country, but not because of the controversial style (which has honestly been a debate since they were released in 2002 — you either love them or hate them, for the most part). No, the concern for Crocs here stems from a potential safety hazard.

Specifically, dozens of schools in 20 different states have banned Crocs in their dress codes, citing them as unsafe. Some students at Bessemer City High School in Alabama have worn Crocs in protest, stating that their shoes are just as safe as any other shoe, though districts are holding firm with their new rules.

Some podiatrists like Dr. Priya Parthasarathy told Today that Crocs easily get caught in equipment around schools, causing the student to trip and fall, twist their ankle, or rip a toenail off, which she stated are things she sees every day in the office. She went on to say that there’s a time and place for Crocs, and while school isn’t one of them, they can be worn in moderation or in recovery after a workout.

A Crocs spokesperson told Today that while the bans are unfortunate, they haven’t affected sales. They went on to say, “Classic Clog is a comfortable, casual shoe that is appropriate for everyday wear. We are not, nor do we market ourselves as, a specialty or performance brand.”

We’re interested to see if this ban will be implemented elsewhere. Honestly, we can’t tell you how many times we’ve seen accidents happen with Crocs in Disney World. Most notably, this photo below still haunts us.

Can you imagine the fear? What if the Crocs had gone any further and actually gotten to the person’s foot! We shiver just thinking about it.

Seriously — it happens more than you might think!
