The Auqaschuhe are delivered without the outer carton and are packaged in a foil. You do not smell like chemicals, only very slightly by the rubber, because the sole is made of it. The first impression was positive as always! The slippers are totally soft and pliable. At the edge they are made of fabric, an inner sole protects the foot addition. Closed shoes with Velcro. Thus, the Aqua shoes include any ankle optimally.
Purchase decision is actually with us, as so often, the fact that we want to protect feet from the hot sand by the sea. On the beach this bathing shoes were really a very great thing. They protect the little feet, give good grip on the fine sands and swimming fun is great! I was concerned that our child would lose the shoes through the waves, but it was not like that. The shoes fit well and above all firmly without pressing somewhere. At the pool the Aqua shoes prevent the risk of slipping on smooth tiles. In water, the shoes are not a nuisance. We draw ever at the pool.
Unfortunately, the shoes a little fade after prolonged use in the sun. The very colorful and bright colors, this concerns. So I can live very well, because they are always needed anyway only one season. We wash the shoes by now even in the washing machine with, because there you're gonna get out washed every little grain of sand properly.
In addition, Playshoes Aqua Shoes by Oeko-Tex are tested for harmful substances. There is also a very high UV protection.
I have always (with the red logo and the 3 letters) watched in recent years, Aqua shoes at various discount stores and these cheap clothes shops and have to say that their cheap models costing always so between 5-12 euros. However, these never come serve up some quality of Playshoes. I drive since years well with Playshoes and was able to find anything comparable in this price segment.
Conclusion: The Playshoes slippers we are very satisfied. The price is reasonable and the shoes keep their promise. Falling just very big from. We will certainly buy the next water shoe-pair again by Playshoes ...
Highly Recommended!
