Black. Some have mentioned that the school said to wear white but that may be before this notice was out.  When in doubt, check with your school

3. What type of material is allowed for shoes?
Canvas or other synthetic material like nylon and polyester. 
4. How many pairs of shoes should I buy?

For a start, minimum of 2-3 pairs. In our kind of weather, you need to be prepared for shoes soaked in the rain or shoes that take time to dry after a wash. Note that, if your child has extra-curricular activities, he or she may be required to wear a different pair of shoes with his extra-curricular uniform.

5. How to quickly dry wet shoes overnight?
Stuff some newspaper in the shoe and wrap the shoe in newspaper to soak up the moisture. This should speed up the drying process
