Your Crocs Swiftwater Splash Shoes are built for adventure, specifically designed to excel in aquatic environments. They perform best when your toddler is:
Exploring the Beach: The mesh upper protects from hot sand and shells, while the grippy sole provides stability on damp surfaces. Water ports prevent sand from accumulating excessively inside.
Playing by the River or Lake: The Croslite™ midsole shields feet from submerged rocks or debris, and the secure fit ensures shoes stay on through currents or splashes.
Enjoying a Splash Pad: Quick drainage keeps feet comfortable, and the traction helps prevent slips on wet, slick surfaces.
Casual Warm-Weather Wear: Beyond water, their lightweight and comfortable design makes them a great option for everyday play during warm months.
Thanks to their adjustable strap, they offer a snug fit, crucial for preventing shoes from coming off during active play. The strategically placed water ports ensure water doesn't pool, making them comfortable to wear both in and out of the water.
Open the Strap: Fully open the adjustable overfoot strap.
Slide Foot In: Use the heel and upper pull tabs to gently slide your toddler's foot into the shoe.
Adjust for Fit: Fasten the overfoot strap, adjusting it for a snug yet comfortable fit. Ensure it's secure enough that the shoe won't slip off, but not so tight as to cause discomfort or pressure marks. There should be a small amount of wiggle room for toes.
These shoes are highly compatible with various water-based activities and environments, including:
Beaches (sand, small pebbles)
Rivers and lakes (protects from stones and debris)
Splash pads and water parks
Poolside areas
Any general outdoor play where water might be present.
After Water Exposure: Always rinse the shoes thoroughly with fresh water immediately after use in saltwater, chlorinated water, or muddy conditions. This helps prevent material degradation and removes debris.
Cleaning: For general cleaning, use mild soap and cool water. Gently scrub with a soft brush or cloth if needed. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry completely. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged direct sunlight, which can cause the material to warp or shrink. The water ports help accelerate the drying process.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
