FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for swimming?

These water shoes are designed for use in and around water, providing grip and protection. While they can be worn while swimming, they are not specialized swim fins or water socks.

How do I choose the correct size?

Refer to the UK sizing provided (UK 13 in this case). It is recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to a sizing chart if available, or consider trying them on if possible.

Can these shoes be worn for hiking?

These water shoes are best suited for wet environments and light use. They do not offer the support or durability required for hiking on rough terrain.

How long will they take to dry?

They should air dry relatively quickly, typically within a few hours in a well-ventilated area, depending on humidity and temperature.

Is the grip pattern effective on all wet surfaces?

The multi-direction grip pattern is designed to enhance traction on a wide range of surfaces, including pool decks and wet sand. However, effectiveness can vary on extremely smooth or oily surfaces.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is made of TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber), known for its flexibility and grip properties.

Troubleshooting

Shoes smell after use

Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after each use and ensure they are completely air-dried. Store in a well-ventilated area.

Difficulty putting shoes on

Ensure the heel pull tab is fully utilized and the foot is positioned correctly. For very swollen feet, try a different size or a shoe with more stretch.

Poor grip on very smooth surfaces

While designed for grip, extremely smooth, wet surfaces may still pose a risk. Supervise children closely. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris.

Material feels stiff

This is normal for new water shoes. The flexible TPR outsole will soften slightly with use. Ensure proper drying to maintain material integrity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides good grip on wet surfaces, reducing slip risk.
  • Easy for children to put on and take off themselves.
  • Flexible sole allows for natural foot movement.
  • Designed for comfort during water activities.
  • Durable construction for regular use.

Cons

  • May not provide sufficient support for intense athletic activities.
  • Primarily designed for water and not as a general-purpose shoe.
  • Sole thickness may be minimal for rough terrain.
  • Breathability might be limited during very hot weather.
  • Limited cushioning for prolonged walking on hard surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These water shoes require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: Suitable for use in various wet environments including beaches, swimming pools, water parks, and around paddling pools. They are designed for children's feet and are compatible with general kids' sizes.

Care Instructions:

  1. Rinse the shoes thoroughly with clean, cool water after each use to remove sand, salt, or chlorine.
  2. Allow the shoes to air dry completely, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage the materials.
  3. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  4. Wipe the upper and sole with a damp cloth if cleaning is required for stubborn dirt. Ensure the inside is also dry to prevent mildew.
