Your Summer 2023 Guide to Water Shoes for the Entire Family

Planning on Spending Your Summer in the Water? Here's Our Picks for Water Shoes.

School’s out and the summer vibe is going strong. It’s time to make a splash. Hit the beach, pool, or even the hiking trail with these top water shoes and treat your feet to a summer vacation.


Why Water Shoes?

Water shoes and sandals are better than bare feet when it comes to summertime activities. They are designed to protect feet from hot sand, sharp rocks, unwanted surprises, and even help keep you upright in slippery circumstances. On the trail, they help you navigate stream crossings and mud puddles. They’re especially recommended for little ones with their tender tootsies.

Our faves are all designed to fit your foot, go on and off easily, and stay comfy while holding up to tough conditions. They clean up quickly and hold on to their good looks.

To help you prepare for your family outings this summer, we’ve collected a few of our favorites. Pack these in your beach bag or suitcase and make your summer activities even better.
