What is UPF 50+ protection?
UPF 50+ is the highest rating for fabrics. It means that the fabric blocks 98% of UV rays.
All of our apparel, these shoes included, are certified UPF 50+ under the rigorous Australian and New Zealand standard AS/NZS 4399:1966.
What sets UPF 50+ beach shoes apart from regular water shoes?
Our UPF 50+ beach shoes are made with fabric that blocks over 98% of harmful UV rays, protecting the tops of your feet where sunburn is common. Regular water shoes or mesh shoes can provide little to no UV defence, allowing UV rays to pass through and cause sunburn and long-term skin damage. With certified UPF 50+ fabric and reinforced soles, these shoes give both sun protection and foot support during outdoor and water activities.
Why do you use Stingray fabric?
We choose Stingray because they are the original Australian sun protective clothing manufacturer, trusted since 1986. Their advanced fabrics are designed to block harmful UV rays through the fabric’s construction – without using chemical additives. By combining premium fibres, dense fabric weaves and specialist techniques, Stingray creates certified UPF 50+ protection that lasts for the lifetime of the garment, even after countless washes. This means long‑lasting, reliable sun protection you can trust.
