Anyone who's visited Walt Disney World during Florida's rainy season knows the misery of spending the rest of the day squelching around in soaked socks. The team at Disney Food Blog thinks they've found a surprisingly effective fix — and it costs about as much as a Mickey pretzel.
The product in question is the Shiwely Silicone Waterproof Shoe Covers, a stretchy, zipper-closure slip that goes right over your existing footwear to create a water-resistant barrier. They come in several size ranges, and Disney Food Blog recommends sizing up if you fall near the top of any given range.
In testing, the covers proved genuinely useful on a wet park day — keeping socks dry even as Florida's skies opened up. Non-slip grips on the sole help with traction, though some reviewers have found them slippery on smooth surfaces, so a little caution is warranted. They're not a perfect seal — a few drops of water reportedly snuck in through gaps — but they're far better than nothing, and the team also flagged them as a smart option to wear over sneakers on water rides.
At roughly $17, they're a low-stakes addition to your park bag, especially for families who'd rather not buy last-minute ponchos or suffer through soggy afternoons at the Magic Kingdom. If you're looking to keep your whole Disney World trip as comfortable as possible, a pair stashed in your backpack is hard to argue with.
