FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear outside of water?
While comfortable, Hot Tuna Aqua Water Shoes are specifically designed for water activities and wet environments. Their sole and material construction are optimized for traction in water and quick drying, not for prolonged use on dry, abrasive surfaces like pavements, which can wear them out faster.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
We recommend measuring your child's foot length from heel to the longest toe and then consulting a standard children's UK shoe size chart. Water shoes should fit snugly to prevent them from slipping off in water.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
Machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and adhesive. Hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry completely.
Do they offer good protection against sharp objects?
The flexible TPR sole provides a good barrier against common beach debris like small shells and pebbles. However, it is not puncture-proof, and caution should still be exercised around very sharp objects.
How long do they take to dry?
Thanks to their textile upper and open construction, these shoes are designed for quick drying. In a well-ventilated area, they typically dry within a few hours, depending on humidity levels and air circulation.
Are they unisex?
Yes, while some variants may be categorized, the design and functionality of Hot Tuna Aqua Water Shoes are suitable for all children, regardless of gender. They are available in various colours.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
Ensure the correct UK children's size was purchased. Water shoes should fit snugly to prevent them from slipping off in water, but not uncomfortably tight. If fit is an issue, consider re-measuring your child's foot.
Shoes retain sand or small debris inside.
Rinse thoroughly under running water, gently shaking the shoe to dislodge any trapped particles. The textile upper is designed to drain water, but fine sand can sometimes accumulate.
An unpleasant odor develops in the shoes.
This usually indicates the shoes were not dried properly after use. Thoroughly rinse the shoes, use a mild anti-bacterial soap if necessary, and ensure they are completely air-dried in a well-ventilated area before storage. Do not store while damp.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life of your Hot Tuna Aqua Water Shoes:
- Rinse After Use: After each use, especially in chlorinated or saltwater, rinse the shoes thoroughly with fresh, cool water to remove sand, salt, and chlorine.
- Air Dry: Allow the shoes to air dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as this can degrade the materials and cause shrinking.
