FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances on land?
They are designed for beach and water use; they lack the arch support of standard trainers and are not recommended for long-distance land walking.
Can these be washed in a machine?
It is recommended to hand wash them in cool, fresh water to protect the neoprene material and the integrity of the sole.
How do I choose the correct size?
The TWF Snapper Wetshoes follow standard UK children's sizing. Choose the size that matches your child's current footwear size.
Do they provide protection against sea urchins?
The sole is designed to provide a protective barrier, but please exercise caution and avoid stepping on hazardous marine life.
Will they keep my child's feet warm?
Yes, the 2.5mm neoprene material provides insulation in the water, though they are primarily for protection rather than thermal performance.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels loose in the water.
Ensure the toggle is pulled firmly to close the gap around the ankle. If it remains loose, the shoe may be a size too large.
Sand is trapped inside the shoe.
Turn the shoe inside out after use, rinse thoroughly with fresh water, and allow to dry before the next outing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your TWF Snapper Wetshoes, rinse them thoroughly with fresh water after every use in salt or chlorinated water to remove sand and mineral buildup. Allow them to air dry naturally in the shade; avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as high heat can degrade the neoprene and the sole adhesive. To wear, simply slide the foot into the shoe and pull the toggle cord until the ankle opening is comfortably tight against the skin. Ensure the shoe is the correct UK size for your child to maximize comfort and prevent chafing.
