Dive In With Confidence: The Ultimate Guide to Water Shoes
The allure of the water is undeniable, whether you're kayaking down a scenic river, exploring tide pools on the beach, or conquering a challenging hike with a refreshing waterfall reward. But navigating slippery rocks, uneven terrain, and potential hazards like sharp objects can put a damper on your aquatic adventures. That's where water shoes come in! Water shoes are specially designed footwear that provides traction, protection, and comfort for all your water activities. This ultimate guide will help you dive into the world of water shoes, ensuring you choose the perfect pair for your next watery adventure.
Understanding Your Needs: Choosing the Right Water Shoe for Your Activity
Before diving into specific water shoe recommendations, let's consider some key factors to think about when choosing the right pair for your needs:
- Activity Level: Are you planning a leisurely stroll along the beach, or will you be tackling more adventurous activities like kayaking or water sports?
- For casual water activities, a lightweight and breathable water shoe might suffice.
- For more rigorous activities, choose water shoes with better ankle support and a sturdier sole.
- Terrain: Will you be primarily on sand and pebbles, or will you be encountering rocks, coral reefs, or uneven surfaces?
- For sandy or pebbly beaches, a water shoe with a good tread pattern is sufficient.
- For rocky or uneven terrain, opt for water shoes with a thicker sole and better protection for your feet.
Top Picks for Water Adventures: Explore the Different Types of Water Shoes
Now that you've considered your needs, let's explore some popular water shoe options:
- Water Sandals: These open-toe shoes offer maximum breathability and are perfect for casual water activities on sandy beaches or poolside lounging.
- Aqua Socks: These lightweight and flexible shoes provide a barefoot-like feel with added protection for the soles of your feet. They're ideal for water sports like paddleboarding or kayaking.
- Closed-Toe Water Shoes: These versatile shoes offer protection for the entire foot, making them a great choice for activities on various terrains. They often come with good drainage features to keep your feet comfortable.
- Canyoneering Shoes: For more technical adventures like canyoneering or hiking with water crossings, consider canyoneering shoes. These shoes offer superior ankle support, a sturdy sole for rugged terrain, and quick-drying properties.
Material Matters: Choosing the Right Features for Your Water Shoes
The material of your water shoes plays a significant role in performance and comfort. Here's a breakdown of popular materials:
- Mesh: A breathable and lightweight material, mesh allows for quick drying and good ventilation. Ideal for warm weather activities.
- Neoprene: This material offers warmth, insulation, and a snug fit. It's a good choice for cooler water activities or if you prioritize warmth.
- Rubber: The soles of most water shoes are made from rubber for excellent traction on wet surfaces.
Fit for Adventure: Ensuring Comfort and Protection in Water Shoes
Here are some tips for ensuring a proper fit in your water shoes for optimal comfort and performance:
- Get sized properly: Water shoes should fit snugly but comfortably. They shouldn't be too loose or they might slip off in the water.
- Consider wearing water socks: Water socks can add a layer of comfort and prevent blisters, especially for extended use.
- Try them on before you buy: Walk around in the water shoes to ensure they feel comfortable and supportive.

User Reviews
Have waded all over Central and South America in an older pair size 8 for twelve years. They were slightly loose. But worked fine. These however fit perfectly and very comfortable. Love Keen.
I wear a men's 13 and trying to get these shoes on was impossible. While they were marked 13 they felt as if I was trying to fit into a size 10. I sent them back. I would warn anyone considering this reseller that if you buy shoes from them on Amazon they make it extremely tough to return shoe products. They have their own strict conditions which are not as generous as Amazon.
Fits the foot better than the OG CNX.
I have had the shoes since Fall and finally rock-hopped streams a couple weekends ago. Good shoes BUT I cannot get rid of a foul odor from the shoe. I washed them, the shoes have sat in the sun, and nothing will remove the mildew odor. I am surprised, they are water shoes, designed to become wet and dry often I suppose. The shoe smells so bad I have to keep them in the garage. Really disappointed.
I was really excited to find these sandals. When I saw the price, I knew I had to have them. They even had my size, which is sometimes difficult to find, size 15. When I finally got them, the box stated size 15 but the sandals felt snug. When I took them off to inspect I found they were miss labeled. The box said 15 but the marking in sandals said 14. Disappointed. I had to return them. I guess I will find something else.
Sand/grit will accumulate between base of shoe and the arch insert. I also had a minor tear in the ankle strap in the shoe after four/five wearings.
They aren’t the Keens of old they are weak . Not only do they rip out easy they freaking stink . Stay away . If you have to buy any go buy some cheap piece of crap first these are no better then they are .
