FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking on dry land?

These Hot Tuna Aqua Water Shoes are primarily designed for water activities and wet surfaces. While comfortable, their specialized grip and quick-drying textile are optimized for aquatic environments, and they are not intended for extensive daily walking on dry land.

How do I choose the correct size for my infant?

It is best to measure your infant's foot length from heel to toe and compare it to a brand-specific sizing chart if available. If in doubt, measure both feet and use the larger measurement. Remember to account for natural infant foot growth.

Can these shoes be worn in saltwater?

Yes, they can be worn in saltwater. However, it is crucial to rinse them thoroughly with fresh water immediately after use to prevent salt buildup and material degradation, which can lead to odor or damage over time.

Are the shoes machine washable?

No, these shoes are not machine washable. Machine washing can damage the materials and compromise the shoe's structure. It is recommended to hand rinse them with cool, fresh water and allow them to air dry.

Do these shoes protect against sharp objects like shells or rocks?

Yes, the flexible TPR outsole is designed to provide a protective barrier against common hazards found on beaches or riverbeds, such as small sharp shells, pointed rocks, and hot sand, offering excellent foot protection for your infant.

How do I ensure the shoes don't slip off my infant's feet?

The multi-span textile upper is designed for a snug fit. Ensuring you select the correct size is key. A proper fit will prevent the shoes from slipping off easily during active play in water, providing security for your infant's steps.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose on my infant's feet.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Infant feet grow quickly, so re-measure periodically. The shoe should offer a snug fit without being restrictive, allowing for a small amount of wiggle room for the toes. Consult a sizing guide if unsure.

Shoes retain water or take a long time to dry after use.

While designed to dry quickly, ensure they are placed in a well-ventilated area, preferably not in direct sunlight. Gently squeeze out any excess water from the textile upper before hanging or placing them to air dry.

An unpleasant odor is developing in the shoes.

Odor typically indicates incomplete drying or bacterial buildup. It is crucial to thoroughly rinse the shoes with fresh water after every use and ensure they are completely dry before storage. For persistent odors, a mild antibacterial soap solution can be used for cleaning during the rinsing process.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the hygiene of your infant's water shoes:

  1. Rinse Immediately: After each use, especially after exposure to chlorinated water, saltwater, or sandy environments, rinse the shoes thoroughly with fresh, cool water. This is crucial to remove chlorine, salt, sand, and dirt particles that can degrade materials or cause odor.
  2. Air Dry Completely: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Allow the shoes to air dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight or excessive heat, as these can cause the materials to shrink, crack, or lose flexibility.
  3. Storage: Once completely dry, store the shoes in a cool, dry place. Ensuring they are fully dry before storage is vital to prevent the growth of mildew and unpleasant odors.
  4. Spot Cleaning: For any stubborn dirt or stains, gently hand wash with a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly afterwards to remove all soap residue.
