Full details

Designed with a practical pimple-grip sole and an adjustable fit system, these shoes provide comfort and safety for active kids, though they are primarily intended for water use rather than extended walking on dry, abrasive pavement.

FAQs
Can these be worn in chlorinated water?
Yes, they are designed to withstand exposure to pool chemicals, though you should rinse them with fresh water after each session.
How do I determine the correct size?
These follow standard UK children's shoe sizing; choose the size that matches your child's current everyday footwear.
Are they machine washable?
Hand washing is recommended to maintain the integrity of the grip sole and the drawstring toggle.
Do they provide arch support?
These are minimalist water shoes intended for protection and grip rather than structural support.
Can I wear these for walking on the road?
These are optimized for water-based environments. Extended use on asphalt or pavement will cause the rubberized soles to wear down prematurely.
Troubleshooting
Toggle is slipping during use
Ensure the toggle mechanism is free of sand or salt build-up; rinse thoroughly and allow to dry.
Sand trapped inside the shoe
Loosen the drawstring fully and rinse the interior of the shoe under running water to flush out debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a proper fit, insert the child's foot into the shoe and pull the rear drawstring toggle until the heel is snug against the back of the shoe. Avoid overtightening to maintain circulation. After each use, rinse the shoes thoroughly with fresh, cold water to remove salt, chlorine, or sand. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the synthetic materials over time. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
