Kawaii

When more than 28.500 people in Ireland have already secured a pair of Kawaii water shoes, it is no coincidence. Here you see one of Ireland's absolute most popular water shoes, which has taken both children and adults by storm, precisely because it combines safety with a fantastic fit. Whether the trip is to the local pool, the Irish summer beach or the poolside down south, you get the ultimate all-round solution here that protects feet from sharp objects and hot surfaces.

Where many other water shoes can feel heavy or clumsy, Kawaii is developed with a light and clean Nordic design that makes you almost forget you are wearing them. Although you can find the model in a multitude of colours, it is the classic functionality and the minimalist look that makes it a safe choice for the whole family. You can avoid worries about accidents in the water and instead focus on enjoying your swim.

Avoid accidents: Why the sole and grip are crucial

We all know the risk. A moment's inattention on the slippery tiles in the pool or a wrong step on a stony seabed can quickly ruin a good day by the water. This is exactly where Kawaii water shoes stand out markedly from the crowd. The shoe is designed with a unique 2,5 cm thick foam sole that acts as an effective barrier between your foot and the surface. That means you get solid protection against sharp stones, shell fragments and even nails, which makes them absolutely indispensable beach shoes when the trip goes to the coast.

Safety does not stop at thickness. The sole is constructed with a special 'water-grip' that gives you fantastic traction on wet and slippery surfaces. You avoid the insecurity that often comes with ordinary water shoes, and instead get a slip-resistant sole you can rely on. At the same time the sole is equipped with clever drain holes. They are precisely calibrated to let water run out quickly so the shoe remains light, but are small enough to prevent sharp objects from penetrating. That makes them ideal water shoes for activity where you want both lightweight and maximum protection.

Lightweight and outstanding comfort

Comfort is often what makes people choose Kawaii again and again. At just 190 gram per shoe you hardly notice that you have them on your feet, which gives a feeling of freedom whether you are swimming laps or walking along the shoreline. The upper is constructed in a stretchy and breathable mesh that ensures airflow to the feet and dries lightning fast when you get out of the water. This is a clear advantage compared to many heavier and warmer neoprene water shoes, which can feel stuffy on a hot summer day. At the same time you get a firm sole and significantly more support than you will experience with a pair of very thin swim socks.

• Shock-absorbing insole: The shoe is equipped with a 4,5 mm thick EVA sole that has a unique bounce-back effect. That means the sole shapes itself to your foot and provides a soft landing with every step, so you avoid sore feet after a long day.
• Practical design without laces: You do not have to fiddle with tight laces or fastenings. The shoe is designed to be easy to hop into, and the elastic rim ensures they stay where they should - even during active swimming.

One shoe for the whole family and all activities

The best thing about Kawaii is that the model embraces a wide range and meets the need for safety at all ages. Whether you pack the beach bag for the smallest water lovers or the adults, this is a water shoe for the whole family that delivers the same high quality across the board. We often see that once one person has tried them, the rest of the household will also want a pair. Therefore you will of course find the model as both water shoes for kids, women's water shoes and men's water shoes. The consistent design makes them easy to match, but most importantly it ensures that all feet are protected against sharp objects and slippery surfaces.

• Perfect for watersports: Kawaii is ideal as SUP shoes or kayak shoes, as the slip-resistant sole gives you optimal stability on the board, while the quick-drying material prevents the feet from getting cold.
• Safety in the pool: On the wet tiles in your local swimming pool the shoe provides a secure foothold, so you can safely move from the changing room to the pool edge without the risk of slipping.
• Alternatives for the outing: If you prefer more room for your toes between sessions in the water, you can advantageously supplement with a pair of open water sandals or find other relevant gear that makes your day by the water even better.
