Learn how to clean and care for your Aqua Cloud Men's sandals. Simple steps to keep the BareFoam™ footbed and grippy rubber sole in top shape.

Quick Answer

Clean your Aqua Cloud Men's sandals by rinsing them with fresh water after each use, then hand-wash with mild soap and air dry away from direct heat.

Why Regular Care Matters

The Aqua Cloud is built for water and sand, but salt, chlorine, and debris can wear down the BareFoam™ footbed and the grippy rubber sole over time. A quick rinse after each outing prevents buildup and extends the life of your sandals.

Step-by-Step Cleaning and Maintenance

  1. Rinse Immediately After Use: Remove your Aqua Cloud sandals and rinse them under cool running water to wash away sand, salt, or chlorine. Pay special attention to the footbed and the sole grooves. Don't let salt or sand dry on the sandals—it can scratch the BareFoam™ and reduce grip.
  2. Hand Wash with Mild Soap: Mix a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap or a gentle laundry detergent) with cool water. Use a soft cloth or sponge to gently scrub the footbed, straps, and sole. Avoid harsh brushes or bleach. Never use a washing machine or dryer—the agitation can separate the BareFoam™ layer from the sole.
  3. Air Dry Away from Heat: Shake off excess water and place the sandals in a well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight. Do not use a heater, hair dryer, or radiator. Let them dry completely before wearing again. Heat can warp the rubber sole and damage the foam footbed, so patience is key.

Product Fact

  • Aqua Cloud - Men (Clearance): The Aqua Cloud features a BareFoam™ layer that spans the entire footbed and a more durable, grippier rubber sole. The full-footbed foam needs gentle cleaning to avoid breakdown, while the grippy rubber sole benefits from regular rinsing to maintain traction.
