FAQs
Can these shoes be worn in a swimming pool?
Yes, they are suitable for pool use and provide extra grip on slippery tile edges.
Are they machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash only with fresh water to preserve the integrity of the neoprene and adhesive.
Do these provide arch support?
These are designed as protective water shoes and do not feature orthopedic or arch support.
Will they keep feet warm in cold water?
The 2.5mm neoprene offers thermal insulation, but they are not intended for long-term immersion in very cold water.
Should I wear socks with these?
They are designed to be worn against the skin for the best fit and grip.
Troubleshooting
Toggle keeps loosening during activity
Ensure no sand or grit is trapped inside the toggle mechanism; rinse with fresh water and clear any debris.
Shoes feel slippery inside when wet
The shoe should be worn skin-tight; ensure the toggle is tightened securely to prevent internal movement.
Sand trapped inside the shoe
After use, rinse the shoes inside out in fresh water to flush out fine sand grains that can cause chafing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, pull the shoes on and adjust the drawstring toggle to fit snugly against the ankle. Avoid over-tightening to maintain circulation. After each use in salt or chlorinated water, rinse the shoes thoroughly with fresh water to remove mineral deposits and sand that can degrade the neoprene over time. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or high-heat sources, as extreme heat can cause the neoprene to lose elasticity and the rubber soles to delaminate.
