FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?

No, these shoes are specifically designed for water activities and wet environments. While comfortable, they are not intended for prolonged dry-land use or as everyday footwear.

Can they be used in chlorinated pools?

Yes, these water shoes are suitable for use in chlorinated swimming pools. Always rinse them with fresh water after pool use to prolong their lifespan.

How do I choose the correct size?

Hot Tuna Aqua Water Shoes are available in UK children's sizes. It's recommended to measure your child's foot length and refer to a standard children's shoe size conversion chart for the most accurate fit. > Info needed: Specific size chart if available.

Do they provide sun protection for feet?

Yes, the textile upper provides a barrier against direct sunlight, offering some level of sun protection for the top of the feet during water play.

Will they protect against sharp objects like glass or sea urchins?

The flexible TPR outsole offers a good level of protection against common beach hazards like small shells, pebbles, and hot sand. However, extreme caution should always be exercised around very sharp objects or marine life like sea urchins, as no water shoe can guarantee complete protection against severe punctures.

Are they machine washable?

It is recommended to hand wash these shoes with cool water and mild soap, then air dry. Machine washing is not advised as it may damage the materials or affect the shoe's structure.

What materials are the shoes made from?

The upper is made of Textile, the inner lining is Textile, and the sole is made from flexible TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber).

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel slippery on certain surfaces

While designed for grip, extreme algae or slime can still pose a risk. Use caution on such surfaces. Ensure the multi-directional grip pattern is clean and free of embedded debris for optimal traction.

Sand or small pebbles get inside the shoes

This can happen in very fine sand or gravel. Rinse the shoes thoroughly with water while wearing them to flush out debris, or remove them and shake/rinse them out. Ensure the fit is snug to minimize entry.

Shoes are difficult to put on or take off

Utilize the pull tab located at the heel to assist in pulling the shoe onto the foot. If the fit is consistently too tight, check the size to ensure it's appropriate for your child's foot.
