Suction-side pool cleaners rely on consistent traction to move efficiently across the pool floor and climb walls. When cleaner shoes wear down, hard surfaces like concrete, plaster, and gunite become slippery, causing the cleaner to stall, spin, or miss large areas of the pool. Swimables Navigator Style Shoes for Concrete Pools are designed to restore proper grip and movement to Navigator-style pool cleaners, allowing them to clean effectively again.

These replacement shoes attach to the base of the cleaner and provide the friction needed to maintain forward motion on rough pool surfaces. Over time, original shoes flatten, harden, or lose their tread, reducing contact with the pool surface. Replacing worn shoes restores traction, improves coverage, and helps the cleaner operate as intended.

This is a pool-cleaner-specific wear item engineered for concrete pool environments—not a universal or soft-surface shoe.

Why Cleaner Shoes Are Critical for Performance

Cleaner shoes are the point of contact between the cleaner and the pool surface. When they wear out, suction alone is not enough to keep the cleaner moving correctly. Poor traction can lead to missed debris, uneven cleaning patterns, and excessive wear on internal components as the cleaner struggles to move.

The Swimables Navigator style shoes provide the grip needed to convert suction into movement, allowing the cleaner to maintain steady progress across concrete and plaster surfaces.

Designed for Concrete and Plaster Pools

These shoes are formulated specifically for harder pool surfaces where traction is critical. Concrete, gunite, and plaster pools require firmer, more durable shoes than vinyl or fiberglass pools.

Using the correct shoe type helps prevent slipping while also reducing unnecessary stress on the cleaner body and drive components.

Built for Pool Cleaner Wear Conditions

Swimables shoes are manufactured from durable pool-grade materials designed to withstand constant abrasion against rough surfaces and exposure to chlorinated water. Their design balances grip and durability, allowing the cleaner to move smoothly without excessive drag.

For service professionals, replacing worn shoes is a quick, effective fix for poor cleaner performance. For pool owners, it helps extend the life of the cleaner and maintain consistent cleaning results.

When to Replace Navigator Style Cleaner Shoes

These replacement shoes should be installed when:

• The cleaner slips or stalls on the pool floor

• Wall climbing ability is reduced

• Shoes appear flattened, smooth, or hardened

• Cleaning coverage becomes inconsistent

• Performing routine cleaner maintenance

Replacing shoes is often one of the simplest ways to restore proper cleaner operation.

Practical Maintenance Part for Pool Owners and Service Professionals

For pool owners, new cleaner shoes help ensure debris is removed consistently without manual intervention. For service professionals, they are a common wear item replacement that quickly resolves traction-related complaints.

Proper traction improves efficiency and reduces unnecessary strain on the cleaner’s internal components.
