FAQs
Are these slides suitable for swimming?
The Nike Kawa Slides are designed for use around water, such as at the pool or beach. While they can get wet, the leather upper material means they are not intended for prolonged submersion. Allow them to air dry thoroughly after getting wet.
How do I clean my Nike Kawa Slides?
For general cleaning, wipe the slides with a soft, damp cloth. For the leather upper, use a mild leather cleaner if needed, following the product instructions. Ensure they air dry completely away from direct heat.
What age group are these slides for?
These specific Nike Kawa Slides are for kids (UK size 8). Other variants are available for toddlers and other kids' sizes.
Do these slides offer arch support?
Nike Kawa Slides are designed for comfort and ease of wear in casual settings. While they offer a cushioned footbed, they typically provide moderate arch support, which is standard for most slide footwear.
Can these slides be worn for sports activities?
These slides are best suited for casual wear and post-activity comfort, particularly around water. They are not designed for rigorous sports or activities that require significant foot support and stability.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper material of these Nike Kawa Slides is leather, providing a durable and comfortable feel. The sole is typically made from synthetic foam for cushioning and water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Slides feel loose or keep falling off.
Ensure the elastic ankle strap is properly positioned around the ankle. While designed for security, if the size is too large, the fit may be compromised. Consider trying a smaller size if the problem persists.
Leather upper appears dirty or stained.
Gently clean the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a leather-specific cleaner as directed by the product's instructions. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Foot slides around inside the sandal.
This can happen if feet are excessively wet. Ensure feet are as dry as possible before wearing. Also, clean the footbed regularly to remove any oils or debris that might reduce grip.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life of your Kawa Slides, especially with their leather upper:
- Cleaning: For general dirt, wipe the slides with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks on the leather, use a mild leather cleaner, following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: After getting wet (e.g., at the pool or beach), allow the slides to air dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Do not expose them to direct sunlight or use artificial heat, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store the slides in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid storing in damp environments.
- Avoid Immersion: While suitable for wet environments, prolonged submersion in water is not recommended for the leather upper. If they do get soaked, ensure they dry thoroughly as per step 2.
