FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for swimming?
Yes, the quick-drying materials and drainage ports make them ideal for swimming and other water activities. However, they are water shoes and not designed as flotation devices.
How do I adjust the bungee laces?
To tighten the laces, pull the toggle upwards. To loosen them, press down on the toggle. You can then tuck the excess lace under the webbing for a cleaner look and to prevent snagging.
Can these shoes be worn without socks?
Yes, they are designed to be worn comfortably without socks due to their quick-drying and breathable materials. Wearing thin, moisture-wicking socks is also an option if preferred.
What is the best way to clean these water shoes?
Rinse with cold water after use and clean with mild soap and a soft brush. Air dry completely away from heat.
Are these shoes true to size?
It is recommended to refer to Columbia's sizing chart and measure your child's foot for the best fit. Kids' shoe sizing can vary between brands.
What activities are these shoes best suited for?
They are best suited for watersports, beach play, hiking in wet conditions, and general summer outdoor activities where quick drying and good drainage are beneficial.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel loose even after tightening laces.
Ensure the bungee laces are pulled taut and the excess lace is secured under the webbing or tucked away to prevent snagging.
Water not draining effectively.
Check that the drainage ports in the midsole are not blocked by debris. Rinse the shoes with water to clear any obstructions.
Discomfort or rubbing.
Adjust the bungee laces for a more personalized fit. Ensure socks, if worn, are thin and moisture-wicking. Break in the shoes with short periods of wear initially.
