Product Information
Full details
The TWF Snapper Wetshoes are designed for young children who need reliable foot protection during beach trips or water activities, offering a comfortable 2.5mm neoprene build that keeps feet warm and shielded from sharp hazards. While they are perfect for rocky surfaces and hot sand, users should note that they are intended primarily for water-based activities and may feel less breathable than standard sneakers for extended dry-land walking.

FAQs
Can these shoes be worn in a swimming pool?
Yes, they are suitable for pool use and provide extra grip on slippery tile surfaces.
How do I choose the right size?
The TWF Snapper range uses standard children's UK sizing; opt for your child's regular shoe size, keeping in mind the material is flexible.
Will these protect my child from sea urchins?
They provide a physical barrier, but should not be considered puncture-proof against sharp spines.
Are these machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash them with fresh water to preserve the integrity of the neoprene and the grip sole.
Can they be worn with socks?
While they are designed to be worn against the skin, they can be worn with thin, synthetic moisture-wicking socks if desired.
Troubleshooting
Sand trapped inside the shoe
Loosen the drawstring toggle and turn the shoe inside out to rinse thoroughly with fresh water.
Toggle slipping during use
Ensure no grit or sand is trapped inside the toggle mechanism; clean with a gentle stream of water to restore grip.
Material feels stiff after drying
Gently massage the neoprene fabric with your hands to loosen the fibers and restore flexibility before the next use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, ensure the drawstring toggle is tightened snugly around the ankle but not so tight that it restricts circulation. After each use, rinse the shoes thoroughly with fresh, cold water to remove salt, sand, or chlorine, as these can degrade the neoprene over time. Always air dry the shoes in a shaded, well-ventilated area; avoid direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators, which can cause the neoprene to become brittle or lose its elasticity. Store them in a dry place once completely devoid of moisture to prevent odors.
