FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, they can be worn daily. However, they are designed specifically for water activities and might not offer the same support as traditional shoes.
How do I measure my child's foot for the correct size?
Measure your child's foot length from heel to toe. Use a sizing chart from Columbia to determine the correct size. Consider leaving a bit of room for growth.
Can these shoes be used in saltwater?
Yes, but rinsing them thoroughly with fresh water after use in saltwater is recommended to remove salt residue and extend their lifespan.
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended. Hand washing with mild soap and air drying is best to preserve the shoe's structure and materials.
What is the warranty on these shoes?
Columbia offers a limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Please check Columbia's website for specific warranty details.
Do these shoes provide any arch support?
The Drainmaker XTR prioritizes drainage and flexibility. They do not offer significant arch support. Consider using supportive insoles if your child needs more arch support.
Can I use these shoes for hiking?
While the Omni-Grip LT outsole offers good traction, these shoes are primarily designed for water activities. For serious hiking, consider dedicated hiking shoes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight.
Loosen the bungee laces to adjust the fit. Ensure you have the correct size. Consider ordering a half size up if the child's foot is wide.
Shoes are difficult to put on.
Adjust the bungee laces to fully open the shoe's opening. Ensure the child's foot is properly aligned before tightening the laces.
Shoes are not draining water quickly.
Ensure the shoes are not clogged with debris. Rinse the shoes thoroughly after each use to clear any obstructions.
Poor traction on slippery surfaces.
Check the outsole for wear and tear. If the grip is compromised, the shoes may need to be replaced. Ensure the surface is free of excessive algae or slime.
