FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking on sharp rocks?
Yes, the 2.5mm neoprene and protective sole are designed to guard against sharp stones, shells, and rocky surfaces.
Can I use these in a swimming pool?
Absolutely. The grip sole is ideal for providing traction on slick pool surrounds.
How do I choose the correct size?
The sizes refer to standard UK children's sizing. We recommend selecting your child's usual shoe size for a secure fit.
Will these shoes keep feet warm?
The neoprene material provides insulation, which helps keep feet warmer in cooler water, though they are not full thermal boots.
Should I wear socks with these?
These are designed to be worn against the skin. Wearing socks inside may cause rubbing and decrease the effectiveness of the grip.
How often should I wash them?
Rinse with fresh water after every use to prevent salt or chemical buildup, which can degrade the materials.
Troubleshooting
Toggle is difficult to slide
Rinse the toggle mechanism under running water to remove salt crystals or sand that may be obstructing the internal spring.
Shoes feel slippery inside
Ensure the feet are free from heavy oils or sunscreen before wearing, and rinse the inside of the shoe to remove any grit or sand.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the right fit is crucial; the drawstring toggle should be tightened until snug but not restrictive. To ensure the longevity of your TWF Snapper Wetshoes, follow these care steps:
- Freshwater Rinse: Always rinse the shoes thoroughly with clean, fresh water after every use, especially after exposure to saltwater or chlorinated pool water.
- Air Dry: Allow the shoes to dry naturally in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the neoprene and weaken the adhesive.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place once completely dry. Ensure the shoes are not folded or crushed during storage to maintain their shape.
- Inspection: Periodically check the sole for wear and ensure the toggle fastening mechanism remains clear of sand or debris.
