FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for freshwater use?

While primarily designed for saltwater, they can be used in freshwater. However, their materials are optimized for saltwater environments to prevent corrosion.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The sneakers should fit snugly but comfortably, similar to a trainer. Ensure there is no excessive heel lift or pinching. Refer to the sizing chart if available.

Can I wear these without socks?

Yes, the non-absorbing foam and neoprene liner is designed for comfortable wear with or without socks.

How long will the puncture resistance last?

The puncture resistance is built into the shoe's construction using durable materials. With proper care, the protective features should last for the expected lifespan of the footwear.

Are the outsoles likely to leave marks on boat decks?

No, the outsole is specifically designed to be non-marking, making it safe for use on sensitive boat decks.

What is the best way to clean the inside of the shoe?

Rinse the inside with fresh water and allow to air dry. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution, ensuring to rinse thoroughly.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If still uncomfortable, break them in gradually by wearing them for short periods. The liner is designed to conform to your foot over time.

Reduced traction or slippery feel

Clean the outsole thoroughly with fresh water to remove any mud, sand, or debris that may be lodged in the tread pattern. Ensure the surface you are on is not excessively oily.

Materials seem stiff after drying

This is normal for durable, protective materials. Continued use will help soften them. Ensure they are not dried in direct, intense heat which can make materials brittle.
