Tue, 10/11/2011 - 22:05 — Anonymous Best Water Shoes Whether I am heading
to the beach, the lake, or to a kayak trip down the river, choosing the right
footwear can be a make or break decision. There are a variety of shoes made
specifically for enjoying water-based activities, some are made to meet the
needs of a specific activity while others can handle most any wet and wild
adventure you are planning. To help you decide which are right for you, we
put together the following list which highlights some of the best options in
each category.Best Hiking Water ShoesThese are the shoes that will take you
from a hike in the forest to fording a stream to boogey boarding at the
beach. The Mackenzie by Keen and the Churn by Teva are both *great for women*
who spend all their spare time enjoying the best nature has to offer.*For
men*, check out the men's version of the Churn and the Boulder by ECCO.
These shoes will take you anywhere you want to go and keep your feet safe
along the way.Best Water SandalsFor some of us, it just isn't summer if we
aren't wearing sandals. Even better than sandals in the summer, sandals on
a sunny beach while it is the middle of winter! Keep your feet protected from
sharp rocks or shards of shell with a pair of stylish water sandals.*Keen
makes several of the best-selling options for women* including the Venice H2
and the Whisper. Other popular options by Teva like the Hurricane and the
Tirra have a different look and fit, but all the same function.Keen and Teva
also offer some the *best-selling sandals for men* like the Hurricane and
the Newport. You might also like the fit or styling of the Cambiran Stretch
from Merrell or the TechSun 2 from Columbia Sportswear.Best Traditional Water
ShoesFor many people, when we think of water shoes, we don't think sandals
or multi-purpose, we think old-school water shoes like the ones we had when
we were kids – the ones with the rubber bottom and the mesh top. These are
still essentials for people who love to spend their time waterskiing on the
lake, jet skiing in an ocean bay, or chasing children along the beach. Speedo
provides super-stylish options for both sexes, the Beach Runner for women and
the Cruiser for men. The unisex Aqua from Aquatik combines the traditional
look with a more adjustable fit.Best Running Water ShoeA dear friend of mine
can't say enough great things about her FiveFingers Trek outdoor shoes by
Vibram. Although they have an unconventional look, think shoe-shaped toe
socks, are made to protect your feet while offering your body the benefits of
walking barefoot like strengthening muscles and improving posture problems
that can be caused by wearing shoes all the time. Perfect for land and sea
adventures or just a day-trip to your favorite amusement park, these
non-traditional shoes might be just what you need for all your outdoor fun.
Vibram makes several options for women and men including the Trek, the
Sprint, and the Bikila. Fila offers the same concept with different styling
in their Skele-toes brand which are less expensive than Vibram's options.
Customer reviews indicate that this may be a case of you get what you pay
for, Vibram costs more but often fits better and lasts longer./Note: This
