They are made from 96% Polyester and 4% Elastane, providing stretch and quick-drying properties.
Can these socks be worn outside the pool?
These socks are specifically designed for grip and protection in wet pool environments. While they can be worn briefly on dry surfaces, their grip is optimized for wet conditions and they are not intended as general athletic shoes.
How do I choose the correct size?
The sizing generally corresponds to standard children's UK shoe sizes. For this pink variant, it is a UK size 8 for children.

Troubleshooting
Socks feel slippery on dry surfaces
These socks are designed for wet pool environments. Their grip is optimized for wet surfaces. For dry use, consider alternative footwear.
Socks are difficult to put on
Ensure your feet are completely dry before attempting to put them on. The material has some stretch, but a dry application is easiest.
Material feels stiff after drying
Rinse the socks with fresh water to soften the material. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, and ensure they are fully air-dried away from direct heat.
Socks retain odor
Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after each use. If odor persists, hand wash with a mild detergent and allow to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area.
