Hayward Navigator Vinyl Shoes

No, these are specifically designed for the Hayward PoolVac Ultra and Navigator automatic pool cleaners. They are not universal parts, so ensure your model matches before purchasing.

You should replace the shoes when the tread pattern on the bottom has worn down significantly or if you notice the cleaner struggling to grip the pool floor. If the cleaner is slipping or moving sluggishly, worn shoes are usually the culprit.

These specific shoes are engineered for vinyl pool surfaces. While they may physically fit the cleaner, using them on abrasive surfaces like concrete will cause them to wear out much faster than intended.

Not at all. The shoes are designed for a direct fit, meaning they snap or slide into place easily without the need for specialized tools. It is a straightforward maintenance task that takes just a few minutes.

The Hayward PoolVac Ultra and Navigator cleaners require four shoes to maintain proper balance and traction. Replacing all four at once ensures even wear and consistent cleaning performance across the entire unit.
