FAQs
Are these slides suitable for wearing in water, like at the pool or beach?
Yes, the Nike Kawa Slides are designed to be water-friendly. They can be worn at the pool or beach. Just be sure to rinse them off with fresh water and allow them to air dry completely after use to maintain their condition and prevent odors.
What is the best way to clean my child's Kawa Slides?
We recommend cleaning them by hand. Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cool water. Gently scrub the affected areas, then rinse thoroughly with cool water. Allow them to air dry completely in a shaded area, away from direct sunlight or heat.
Can my child wear these slides for sports or running?
No, Nike Kawa Slides are designed for casual wear and comfort, not for active sports or running. Their open design and lack of ankle support are not suitable for activities that require secure footing and protection.
Are Nike Kawa Slides true to size?
Generally, Nike Kawa Slides are considered true to size for children. However, foot shapes vary. We recommend consulting Nike's official children's sizing chart and, if possible, trying them on to ensure the best fit.
Do these slides offer good arch support?
The Nike Kawa Slides feature a contoured footbed designed for comfort, providing some inherent support. However, they are not specifically engineered as orthopedic footwear for intensive arch support. They offer general comfort suitable for casual wear.
What materials are the slides made from?
The Kawa Slides are primarily made from a soft, responsive synthetic foam material for the sole and footbed, with a synthetic strap that features the Nike branding. These materials ensure durability, comfort, and water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Slides feel too tight or too loose.
The fit of slides is crucial for comfort. If they feel too tight or loose, it might indicate an incorrect size. Check Nike's sizing guide for children's footwear. For fixed-strap slides like the Kawa, there's no adjustment, so proper sizing is key.
Foot slides around inside the slide.
This can happen if the slides are too large or if the footbed is wet. Ensure the slides are the correct size. If the footbed is wet, dry it thoroughly. For increased grip, some users apply a small amount of foot powder to dry feet.
Unpleasant odor develops.
Odors can build up from sweat and moisture. Regularly clean the slides as per the care instructions. Allow them to air dry completely after each use, especially if worn in wet conditions. You can also use shoe deodorizers specifically designed for footwear.
Footbed feels less soft over time.
While durable, the foam footbed can experience some compression with prolonged heavy use. Ensure regular cleaning and proper drying. If comfort significantly decreases, it might indicate the slides are nearing the end of their lifespan, or that heavier-than-intended use has occurred.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the comfort and appearance of your Nike Kawa Slides.
- Cleaning: For most dirt and grime, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub the footbed and strap. Rinse thoroughly with cold water.
- Drying: Air dry the slides completely in a shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, as this can damage the foam material.
