Hot Tuna Aqua Water Shoes - Pink - Size 1

While primarily designed for water activities due to their quick-drying textile upper and multi-directional grip, Hot Tuna Aqua Water Shoes can also be comfortably worn for light activities on dry land, such as walking on boardwalks or around campsites. They offer good foot protection in both environments.

After each use, especially in chlorine or saltwater, rinse the shoes thoroughly with fresh, clean water. Allow them to air dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and water, then rinse and air dry.

Hot Tuna Aqua Water Shoes are designed with a flexible TPR outsole to promote natural foot movement and provide protection and grip. They offer minimal built-in arch support, focusing instead on flexibility and adaptability to various surfaces.

Yes, these shoes are designed to withstand exposure to saltwater and chlorinated water. However, it is crucial to rinse them thoroughly with fresh water immediately after use in these environments to prevent material degradation and extend their lifespan.

It is recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it to standard UK children's shoe size charts for Hot Tuna products. The shoes should fit snugly but comfortably, with enough room for toes to wiggle slightly. They should not slip off easily when walking.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. While the flexible material offers comfort, an overly large size will not provide proper protection or stay securely on the foot. Check that the shoes are snug but not tight. For slightly loose fit, consider wearing thin water socks.

Always rinse the shoes thoroughly with fresh water immediately after use, especially after exposure to chlorine or saltwater. Allow them to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area before storing. This prevents bacterial growth and odor buildup. If odor persists, hand wash with mild soap.

Check inside the shoes for any trapped sand, small pebbles, or debris that might be causing irritation. Ensure the shoes are worn on clean feet. If the issue persists, the size might be incorrect; they should fit snugly without pinching or excessive pressure points.

Ensure the TPR outsole is clean and free of mud, sand, or other debris that might reduce grip. On extremely smooth or algae-covered surfaces, even multi-directional grip can be limited. Always exercise caution on slick surfaces.
