FAQs
What shoes do you wear kayaking and paddling?

In warm conditions many paddlers and kayakers prefer bare feet, but when the weather turns cold, neoprene socks or lightweight flexible water shoes make a big difference to comfort and performance. Water shoes also protect your feet on rocky launches, boat ramps, and slippery surfaces — useful year round. Read everything you need to know about water shoes.

How to dry water shoes + socks?

To get the most life out of your water shoes and wetsuit socks, rinse them thoroughly with fresh water after every use - including the zips, to prevent salt and sand from causing them to seize. Dry them in the shade with zips and straps fully undone to maximise airflow, and never store them damp or leave them in direct sunlight, both of which degrade neoprene over time.
