Men's water shoes - types Among men's water shoes, there are several basic types with specifics to suit a particular form of water activity.
Swimming shoes are usually lightweight and flexible, allowing free movement in the water. They have a breathable construction to ensure comfort even on long excursions. The sole is often made of rubber, which gives great grip on wet pool surfaces or in natural bodies of water. These shoes are perfect for learning to swim and also as water aerobics shoes.
Neoprene shoes are perfect for water sports in colder conditions as they are made from neoprene, which provides thermal insulation. Neoprene protects your feet from getting cold and allows you to spend more time in cold water. The sole of neoprene shoes can be made of rubber or other materials that provide grip on wet surfaces.
Kayaking shoes are designed for stability and grip on wet surfaces, typical of kayaks. They often have special soles to prevent slipping on wet bottoms. They are made of water-resistant materials to keep feet dry, even when paddling.
Diving shoes are made for people who dive and need to protect their feet underwater. They usually have a thick sole to protect against sharp reefs, shells and rocks underwater. The design of the boots is often zipped or fastened with Velcro to prevent water getting into the boots.
Sailing shoes are resistant to sea salt and provide confidence when walking on wet and slippery deck surfaces. They feature a comfortable fit that prevents the foot from shifting during manoeuvres on the yacht. The sole of sailing shoes is usually made of materials that do not leave marks on the deck. What kind of water shoes to choose? Choosing the right water shoes is important to ensure comfort and protection during different water activities. First of all, determine what purpose you intend to use them for. Will it be for water sports such as surfing, SUP boarding or kayaking, or do you simply want protection from wet surfaces on the beach? Consider what conditions you will be using your water shoes in. Will it be saltwater, freshwater, or perhaps also environments that are rocky, sandy and full of sharp rocks? For example, kayaking shoes should provide protection, traction and comfort when exposed to wet conditions and collisions with obstacles. Swimming shoes, on the other hand, should be lightweight, breathable and flexible, providing comfort when swimming in a pool or other body of water.
Pay attention to the type of sole of your water shoes. If you need grip on wet surfaces, choose shoes with a non-slip sole. For some activities, such as diving, the thickness of the sole will also be important. Choose shoes made of the right material for your needs. Neoprene is great for thermal insulation when diving, for example, and waterproof materials protect against getting wet.
Water shoes can have different types of fastenings that affect their comfort, fit and ease of putting them on and taking them off. Velcro fastenings are very popular in water shoes as they are easy to adjust and provide quick on and off. They allow you to adjust the fit of the shoe to your foot, which is particularly useful when the shoes get wet and heavier.
Zips can be particularly useful in neoprene-type boots used for water sports in colder conditions. Slip-on water shoes, on the other hand, have elasticated cuffs at the top to allow the foot to slip on easily and keep the shoe in place. These cuffs usually do not have traditional fastenings.
Some water shoes have traditional laces, similar to those used in sports shoes. Laces allow the shoes to fit precisely to the foot, but can be less comfortable to put on and take off than Velcro fastenings.
Water shoes should be comfortable but not loose. Remember that water can affect the fit, so always check that your shoes are comfortable when wet.
When choosing water shoes, it's worth investing in products from reputable manufacturers that offer quality and durability and performance to suit your specific activity in or on or above the water.
