FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash them with fresh water. Machine washing may damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the sole.
Can these be worn in a swimming pool?
Yes, they provide good grip on pool decks and tiled surfaces, though always rinse them with fresh water afterward.
Do these provide arch support?
No, these are designed as protective water shoes and do not feature orthopedic or high-arched footbeds.
How do I choose the right size?
The sizes listed are standard UK children's sizes. If you are between sizes, we recommend opting for a slightly snugger fit to ensure they do not come off in the water.
Do they provide thermal insulation?
While they offer some protection against cold surfaces, they are not wetsuit boots designed for cold-water thermal insulation.
Troubleshooting
Drawstring toggle keeps slipping
Check the toggle mechanism for sand or debris. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water to ensure the spring-loaded grip is clear.
Shoes feel loose after submersion
Ensure the drawstring is pulled firmly and the toggle is positioned correctly against the heel tab before entering the water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the shoes, simply slide the foot in and tighten the drawstring toggle until a snug, comfortable fit is achieved. Ensure the elastic is not pulled so tight that it restricts circulation. After every use in saltwater or chlorinated pools, rinse the shoes thoroughly with fresh water to prevent salt buildup or chemical degradation of the material. Always air dry the shoes in a shaded area; avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or near heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can damage the sole material.
