Hot stone slabs, slippery pool edges, sharp rocks on the lake shore: swim shoes are one of those things you only think of when you don't have them. They take up little space in your swim bag and save you a surprising amount of whining.
Swim shoes and summer sandals
- Konges Sløjd – UV swim shoes in many patterns, plus models like Manuca, Amandine, and Etta.
- Liewood – Sanjia swim shoes, some with ruffles, as well as Blumer, Bre, and Lilo sandals that can also be worn outside the pool.
Water shoes or sandals?
A pure swim shoe fits snugly like a second skin, protects the sole of the foot, and dries in minutes – ideal for the swimming pool, pebbly beaches, and anywhere things get slippery. Sandals made of EVA are the all-rounder: they tolerate water just as well, but can also be worn all day long without the foot sweating in them. If you are only buying one pair for the summer, a sandal is usually the more flexible option.
Size and fit
Swim shoes should fit snugly but not pinch – if the heel slips out while walking, the model is too big and no longer provides reliable protection in the water. With sandals featuring Velcro, you can compensate for a little leeway, but not with closed water shoes. You can find the size chart for each brand on the product page.
Care
Rinse after swimming, tap out any sand, and let dry in the shade. EVA and rubber do not like direct heat – they will warp on a windowsill or next to a radiator.
Also suitable
Goes well with UV swimwear, swim aids, and bathrobes and towels. Shipping from Switzerland, delivery in 1–2 days.
