What are Water Shoes?

Like the name suggests, water shoes are designed for walking or trekking comfortably through wet terrain & slippery surfaces. This type of specialized footwear helps protect the foot from accidental slips or sprains while you’re beach hopping or hiking through rough, rocky & wet terrain. You can pick up a sport water shoe that looks like a sneaker with a quick-adjusting bungee buckle for aquatic adventures, water slides or a rainy day trek. Or keep it fun & fashionable with a slip-on water shoe that resembles a trendy sandal while offering the same level or protection.

What are the Benefits of Water Shoes?

Besides a closed-toe design that keeps your feet comfy & safe from rocks, sand & debris, water shoes have really thick rubber soles that offer traction & grip for steady walking on the beach or wet & slippery surfaces. The thick & grippy soles help protect your feet from scalding hot, sandy trails or washed-out muddy roads, no matter where your day takes you. Plus, they’re designed with drainage holes or mesh outers with quick drying features that help drain the sand & water to keep your feet safe & dry. Lightweight & quick-drying water shoes make it a breeze to dash through whatever adventure your beach day or rainy day trek brings.

When are Water Shoes Worn?

Although, water shoes are typically made to be worn while walking along the beach or pool, they make the perfect footwear choice for water sports, hiking on wet or muddy trails or a trek through rough or rocky terrain. Taking a dip at a hot water spring? Water shoes can keep your feet safe from underwater rocks, hard edges or debris that you can’t see. Going to a backyard pool party? Versatile water shoes are sure to keep you comfy as you slide in & out of the water & enjoy making a splash. Planning a boating or fishing trip with your buddies? Enjoy a day of waterside fun with comfy water shoes or water-resistant slides that keep you prepped for any adventure, or misadventure.

How to find the perfect pair of Water Shoes?

With so many styles & options to choose from, finding the perfect pair of water shoes can feel a bit daunting. Start with the kind of material you’re looking for, whether it’s polyester, neoprene, mesh or rubber. It could all depend on the occasion or what works best for your feet. Rubber provides a better grip for the pool or beach & might be the best choice for swim shoes. Heading on a rainy-day trek or hitting the trail? Pick up something sturdy with ventilating mesh uppers & pull-on tabs or a bungee buckle to keep your feet firmly in place. If you’re into adventure sports or extreme water sports, textured outsoles, sturdy materials & durability are factors to consider. Sports water shoes with durable, lightweight soles & elastic, ankle cinch closures are your best bet.
