I agree w/Minxy. Best to wear sneakers not just for go karts but also zip line; you might lose them.
Not recommended but if they will let you, you can. Truth be told its best to wear sneakers for the castle.
My wife was told it was not recommended because they don't have a good grip on the pedals in adverse situations. Then again, my wife chose to wear flip flops one day when hiking.
