FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wading?

Yes, they are designed for wading in saltwater environments, offering puncture resistance and good traction.

Can I use these in freshwater?

While they are built with saltwater-friendly materials and optimized for saline conditions, they can be worn in freshwater. However, their unique benefits are most pronounced in saltwater.

How do I clean the shoes?

Rinse them thoroughly with fresh water after each use and let them air dry away from direct heat.

What makes the outsole 'non-marking'?

The gum rubber compound is specifically formulated to provide excellent grip without leaving scuff marks on boat decks or other surfaces.

Are these waterproof?

The shoes are designed to get wet and feature non-absorbing liners for comfort. They are not intended to be fully waterproof but rather to perform well in wet conditions.

What sizes are available?

Sizes range from UK 4 to UK 13. Please refer to the sizing chart for specific measurements.

Troubleshooting

Reduced traction on wet surfaces

Ensure the gum rubber outsole is clean of mud, sand, or debris. Rinse with fresh water and allow to dry.

Discomfort after prolonged wear

Confirm you have the correct size. Ensure the internal liners are properly seated and free of wrinkles.

Materials showing signs of wear

Inspect molded toe and heel caps for damage. If minor scuffs are present, this is normal wear; for significant damage, consider replacement.
