Full details
These Regatta Kota Drift sandals are designed for active kids who enjoy outdoor adventures. Their key benefit is providing a comfortable, supportive, and grippy footwear option for park play, garden exploration, or beach trips. A potential caveat is that they are primarily designed for lighter-duty adventuring rather than intense hiking. The sandals feature a sporty, lightweight mesh upper with a hardwearing sole, spandex-lined uppers for a smooth fit, and three points of adjustment for a secure feel. The grippy TPR outsole offers reliable traction on varied terrain.

FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for hiking?
The Regatta Kota Drift sandals are designed for active play and light walking. While they offer good grip, they may not provide the necessary support or durability for demanding, long-distance hiking on rugged terrain.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the UK sizing guide provided by Regatta. Ensure there is a small amount of growing room, but the adjustable straps should allow for a secure fit without the foot sliding forward.
Can these sandals be worn in water?
Yes, the sandals are water-friendly, featuring a water-friendly EVA footbed. They are suitable for use in and around water, and the materials are designed to dry relatively quickly.
How do I clean the footbed?
The EVA footbed can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For more persistent dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse lightly with a damp cloth. Ensure it dries completely.
What is the weight of a single sandal?
Each sandal weighs approximately 176 grams, contributing to their lightweight feel for children.
Are there other colors or sizes available?
This guide focuses on the 'Blue - UK 3' variant. Other colors and sizes may be available from Regatta; please check product listings for further options.
Troubleshooting
Straps not holding securely
Ensure the hook and loop surfaces are clean and free from lint or debris. Press firmly to secure the straps.
Sandal feels uncomfortable or rubs
Adjust the hook and loop straps for a more precise fit. Ensure the spandex lining is smooth and not bunched.
Soles appear worn quickly
While the TPR sole is durable, excessive use on abrasive surfaces may accelerate wear. Check for any embedded debris that might be causing abnormal wear patterns.
Sandals smell after use
Allow the sandals to air out completely after each use, preferably in a well-ventilated area. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap can help reduce odors.
