2. How long will my Slipfree shoes last?
Slipfree® shoes are an investment in your child’s safety and comfort, but like all good things, they don’t last forever. Think of them like school shoes, they’re designed to handle a lot, but kids put their footwear through the wringer!
Factors like walking style (hello, little tip-toe walkers!), daily exposure to sun and chlorine, surfaces worn on and regular wear and tear can affect their lifespan. If your child wears them every day on a summer holiday, while doing a fantastic job at keeping the same and you stress free, they may naturally wear faster than occasional use.
3. Are Slipfree shoes durable enough for active kids?
Absolutely! Slipfree® shoes are made for active adventures, but it’s important to remember they’re not indestructible. Whether it’s running on hot sand, splashing or swimming in chlorinated pools, or clambering over rocks, they’ll take a beating. That’s why we recommend thinking of them like you would a bottle of suncream— essential for protection but need regular replacement for some children who wear a little harder on these soft soled shoes.
4. How do I care for my Slipfree shoes?
To keep your Slipfree® shoes looking and performing their best:
-
Rinse them with fresh water after use, especially if they’ve been in chlorinated pools or the sea.
-
Let them air dry naturally no tumble dryers, please!
-
Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods when not in use.
5. Can my child wear Slipfree shoes all day?
Yes! Slipfree® shoes are super comfy, so your child can wear them all day for a variety of activities. Whether they’re exploring a beach, jumping around a splash park, or running around at soft play, Slipfree®shoes provide protection and grip. Just make sure to check for any signs of wear and tear, especially if they’ve been used frequently. Ensure you are taking them off to dry inbetween activities for ultimate comfort.
6. My child walks on tip-toes, will this affect the shoes?
Kids have unique ways of walking at different ages and stages, and for little tip-toe walkers, you might notice extra wear in certain areas over time. That’s completely normal and unavoidable! The non-slip soles are designed to handle a range of movements, but extra wear on high-pressure points may happen.
7. Do Slipfree shoes fit true to size?
Slipfree® shoes have a snug, sock-like fit to ensure safety and comfort. If your child is between sizes, we recommend sizing up for a bit of extra room. You can also check our size guide to find the perfect fit!

Beaches and rock pools.
-
Soft play areas and playgrounds.
-
Around the house as comfy indoor slippers.
