What are water shoes?
Specialized water footwear designed for use in and around water. These shoes can be constructed of rubber and/or plastic.
One of the unique features of these shoes is the holes through the sole for water to drain.
It is completely possible to swim with minimal effort while wearing water shoes.
Unlike Sneakers, which can weigh down a swimmer in distress or a person thrown overboard from a boat or kayak.
Water shoes provide a snug fit but, I do not feel confident water shoes can prevent slips and falls in most water environments.
Be careful when walking and maneuvering in any type of water environment like: pools, boats, rocky water shores, docks, and piers.
Why wear water shoes?
Personally, I hate walking bare foot, wearing sandals, and any other type of foot wear with exposed heals.
My feet stink and I don’t care. I’d wear boots in the shower if it wasn’t so unsanitary.
Water shoes provide me with the confidence of wearing a shoe while taking advantage of the breathability of sandals at the same time.
My intended use of water shoes
I recently purchased a Hobie kayak from Dugout Bait and Tackle in Marietta, GA.
I want to make sure there is enough slip and fall protection in and around my kayak during my fishing trips.
My most important concern is kayak entry and exit from many types of environments not including boat docks.
I hope water shoes will increase my confidence while enjoying one of my favorite hobbies.
