Poolzies: Swim shoes

It is only April and already feels like summer is here, in full gear.

Before, I write more, apologies for not blogging for so long. It has been a hectic few months settling into Singapore! With the sweltering heat, it does not get any easier, and that’s why I’m hoping to spend a good amount of time, chilling in the water.

Speaking of the pool, I thought I would introduce you guys to this brand called Poolzies, which makes slippers to wear around the water. These are especially designed for kids! With its anti-glide soles, its perfect for mamas who want to make sure their kids are safe while hanging out (read stomping) around the pool!

I met Pia, the lovely lady who founded this company a few months back. Together, with her husband Steve, they launched ‘pool shoes’ for little ones a year ago. The idea came about while on a family vacation with their 18-month old son, when they purchased a pool shoe for him. Seeing the gap in the market, the couple decided to launch a similar product back home in Singapore.

Pia tells me the fabric is sourced from USA & Australia, while production takes place entirely in Philippines.

Poolzies come with non-slip and abrasion resistant soles. They are made with flexible fabric and come in fashionable colours to match your kiddy’s swimwear. They have black and red striped ones to beautiful floral ones. Totally lightweight, I am sure they make you feel you are walking barefoot. I’m told they are made with fabric that offers little feet a UPF 50+ protection from the sun. Fancy!
