The best outdoor gear purchases are the ones that, once you try them, it’s hard to ever imagine a time when you went without them. That’s why having a reliable pair of water shoes can be a real game changer for activities ranging from kayaking and sailing to hitting the beach.
To buy: amazon.com, from $20
“I absolutely love these shoes,” one reviewer said. “I wore them for my entire camping trip for walking on trails, relaxing, kayaking, and just as an everyday shoe. They have a rugged sole that worked well in the boat and in the water as well as on gravel, grass, sand, and pavement. They dry fast and have great traction… They also look super cute and sporty.”

Because the popular water shoes are designed with vented holes on each side that aren’t large enough to let in sediment, they’re ideal for draining out water. One customer who made the purchase for sailing said they’re “comfortable, and the drainage is a huge plus.” Another feature that earns the water shoes even more stars? They’re lightweight and packable, so they can come along for your travels without taking up too much space.
