Product Information

Full details

The adidas Altaswim 3 Sandals are designed for infants and young children, offering a comfortable and stylish solution for summer activities like beach trips and pool play. Their key benefit is the quick-drying EVA upper and adjustable straps for a secure, easy fit. A minor caveat is that while they are designed for outdoor use, they are primarily summer footwear and may not offer the same support as athletic shoes for prolonged, rigorous activities.

FAQs

Are these sandals suitable for swimming?

The Altaswim 3 Sandals are designed for wear around water, such as pools and beaches. They are water-friendly and quick-drying but are not designed to be worn *during* swimming as they may not stay on securely.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the size guide provided by the retailer. For the Altaswim 3, ensure a snug fit with the adjustable straps, allowing a small amount of growing room but not so much that the foot slides excessively.

Can these be worn for everyday play, not just near water?

Yes, they are suitable for general summer play on various outdoor surfaces. However, for activities requiring high impact or extensive support, specialized athletic footwear might be more appropriate.

What are the sandals made of?

The upper is made of a quick-drying EVA material, and they feature a textile sockliner for comfort, with a synthetic outsole for grip.

How do I clean the sandals?

Rinse with clean, cool water and use a mild soap with a damp cloth for dirt. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.

Are these sandals unisex?

Yes, the Altaswim 3 Sandals are designed as unisex footwear for infants and children.

What is the main advantage of the adjustable straps?

The two adjustable straps provide a secure, customized fit and make it easy for children to put the sandals on and take them off independently.

Troubleshooting

Sandals feel too tight or loose

Adjust the two hook-and-loop straps to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the heel strap is snug but not constricting.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While designed for water, ensure the outsole is reasonably dry before walking on very smooth, wet surfaces. The tread provides grip, but extreme wetness on polished surfaces can still be slippery.

Material feels stiff after drying

This is normal for EVA material. Wear them for a short period to allow them to soften to body temperature and regain flexibility.

Discoloration after use

Sunlight and certain pool chemicals can cause slight discoloration. This is cosmetic and does not affect the performance or safety of the sandals. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after each use.

Care Instructions:
