Care instructions

Cleaning your Kaalfööt shoes is as easy as pie, but without the mess! Here's how you do it:

1. Treat your Kicks to a cool spa day in your machine. Set it to the 'gentle waves' cycle (you might know it as quick wash or delicate) and let them soak up the good vibes.

2. Pour in your detergent. Any kind will do, but remember, no softener! Softeners are like the uninvited party guests of the washing world - they can cause a bit of a ruckus.

3. Now, this is important - only use cold temperatures. We're cleaning shoes here, not cooking pasta!

4. Once your shoes are washed, it's time to dry them. But remember, no tumble drying and no warm temperatures. Treat your shoes like a vampire - keep them away from the heat!

5. Hang your shoes outside or place them on a towel to dry. Think of it as giving your shoes a little vacation.

6. Oh, and one more thing - Dry the shoes and insoles separately. It cuts down on drying time, like taking a shortcut on a long road trip!

And there you have it! A clean pair of Kaalfööt shoes, ready for your next adventure. Just remember to follow these steps, and your shoes will stay as fresh as a daisy!

1. Wash microfiber towels separately from other types of laundry to avoid lint transfer. This ensures that the towels maintain their effectiveness and don't pick up lint from other fabrics, like a private pool party. 

2. It is generally recommended to wash microfiber towels in cold or warm water. Hot water can damage the fibres and affect their performance. 

3. Set your machine to the 'mellow tide' setting (you might call it gentle or delicate) to keep the good vibes rolling without the rough surf.

4. Avoid using fabric softener or dryer sheets as they can leave a residue on the towels, reducing their absorbency.

5. Let your towels hang loose in the breeze. High heat? That's a no-go, unless you want 'em to shrink like a scared starfish!

Let’s keep it short and go and catch that perfect wave!

Cold Water Wash, Do NOT Bleach, Do NOT Iron, Do Not Tumble Dry, Do NOT Soak

Wash dark colours separately and rinse immediately when used in a swimming pool with chlorine.

Your Kaalfööt are crafted for comfort and durability, but even the sturdiest beach warriors need a little TLC. To keep them in tip-top shape, steer clear of:

Harsh Chemicals: Just as sunscreen protects your skin, keeping your Kaalfööt away from strong chemicals, like bleach or harsh cleaners, preserves their color and material integrity.

Sharp Objects: Watch out for sneaky sea urchins! Sharp objects can puncture or tear the material, so it's best to keep an eye on the ground when adventuring.

Extended Soaking: While they love a quick dip, leaving your Kaalfööt submerged for a marathon swim could affect their shape and comfort.

Treat your Kaalfööt kindly, and they'll be your loyal companions on many sunny escapades!

Bike Braking Boogie: Hey, mini speedsters! Using your Kaalfööt to stop your two-wheeler might feel like the cool stunt in the movies, but it's a no-no for your snazzy shoes. They're made for dancing on the sand, not for playing 'stop-the-bike'! Keep the rubber on the road and your Kaalfööt in the groove, and let's save those heroic braking moves for the actual brakes.

Super-Tube Slide Warning: Picture this – you're zooming down a water slide in your brand-new costume, having the time of your life, until... yikes! You spot a snag. That's what happens when your Kaalfööt made of Lycra meet the rough world of concrete or bricks. It's a thrill ride they're not built for. So, keep the sliding for the waterpark and let your Kaalfööt stick to what they do best – making your feet feel like they're on a permanent beach holiday! 🌊👟🎢

Sizing

The golden rule is, choose the size you normally wear.

 You can head over to our size chart of HERE, but below is a summary of the steps you need to take to find that perfect fit.

1. First, let's play a little game of "Trace the Foot". Grab a piece of paper, place it on the ground, and stand on it with your full weight. Now, either you or a trusty sidekick can trace around your foot. Just make sure the pencil or pen is at a 90-degree angle from the floor - we're going for accuracy, not abstract art!

2. Next, it's time to measure the length. Use a ruler to measure the outline from the back-central part of the heel to the end of your longest toe in a straight line. 

3. Now, it's time to find your perfect fit. Head over to our size chart, which you can find here or under "Size Chart" on the main menu. In the right column, find your foot's measured length. Once you've found it, the column on the left will tell you your shoe size. 

IMPORTANT: Remember, plain and patterned shoes have different size charts, as well as tots and adults, like different dance moves at a party. So, make sure you're looking at the right chart when picking your size.

For first time wearers, our shoes might feel loose simply because it feels Kinda Like Socks right and often like you not wearing anything rather than the tight fit you normally feel on a shoe. The elastic should not be very tight but should feel like it’s going to keep the shoe on. An extra space of about 1cm at the back/heel is normal for Kaalfööt, most of the time a smaller size might squash your toes in front.

No, the shoes are not age related.

Our best advice is to measure the size of their feet.
