Hot Tuna Aqua Water Shoes - Black - UK 7

Yes, Hot Tuna Aqua Water Shoes are suitable for use in saltwater. However, it is highly recommended to rinse them thoroughly with fresh water after each use to prevent salt buildup and prolong the life of the materials.

While comfortable for short walks on dry surfaces, these shoes are primarily designed for water activities and wet environments. They may not provide the same level of arch support or cushioning as dedicated walking shoes for long distances on land.

The shoes are designed in standard UK adult male sizes. We recommend selecting your usual shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next size up for comfort, though a snug fit is often preferred for water activities. This specific pair is UK 7.

Yes, the multi span textile upper material is designed to allow water to pass through and drain effectively, contributing to quicker drying times and comfort during and after water immersion.

The sole is made from a flexible TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) material, which provides excellent grip and durability for various wet surfaces.

No, machine washing is not recommended. It's best to hand wash them gently with mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly and air dry.

Inspect the TPR outsole for excessive wear or accumulation of debris. Clean the sole thoroughly to remove any lodged particles or residue that might be reducing grip. Ensure the shoe is dry before assessing grip.

Thoroughly rinse the shoes with fresh water immediately after use. Ensure they are completely air-dried in a well-ventilated area. For persistent odor, a mild shoe deodorizer or a mixture of water and baking soda can be used for soaking, followed by a rinse and dry.

Verify that you have the correct size. Water shoes should fit snugly but not be too tight. Ensure there are no loose threads or internal debris. Wearing thin, moisture-wicking socks designed for water activities can sometimes alleviate rubbing.

Ensure proper care, especially rinsing off saltwater/chlorine and air-drying away from direct heat or sunlight. Harsh chemicals or prolonged exposure to extreme conditions can affect textile and synthetic materials. If degradation persists, consider the typical lifespan for water footwear under your usage conditions.
