UV Protection Performance

While these shoes offer the highest tier of fabric protection, it is important to understand how UV ratings work in aquatic environments.

Important Note: UV protection is not permanent. Factors such as frequent washing, chlorine/saltwater exposure, and general wear and tear will gradually reduce the UPF effectiveness over time.

Usage Recommendations

To ensure maximum safety for your child, please follow these guidelines:

1. Combine with Sunscreen: Fabric only protects what it covers. Always apply sunscreen to the ankles and any exposed skin.
2. Check the Fit: Ensure the shoes remain tight when wet; a loose shoe can become a tripping hazard or trap abrasive sand.
3. Rinse After Use: To prolong the life of the UV-protected fabric, rinse with fresh water after every swim to remove chlorine or salt.
