My ideal beach day usually includes boating, hiking, and fishing by the shore — which is why water shoes are my most valued beach-bag accessory.
If you're the type that can't sit still in a beach chair, too, you probably appreciate a water sandal or sneaker that grips slippery surfaces as much as I do.
Since we're so like-minded, I'm sharing my favourite water-friendly shoes for exploring waterfalls, reeling in dinner, and setting sail, wherever your summer adventures take you.
Teva Hurricane XLT2
Designed with hikers in mind, Teva's Hurricane XLT2 ($70) shoes feature quick-dry webbing, hook-and-loop closures, nylon shank stabilizers, and rubber outsoles to secure your feet mid-climb.
Columbia Women's Dorado PFG Shoe
Columbia Women's Dorado PFG Shoe ($53) has open mesh uppers that are treated with water-and stain-resistant technology and wet-grip outsoles — it's no wonder it was created for boating and fishing.
Chaco Z/1 Chromatic Sandal
I'd like to point out that the footbed and grippy rubber sole on Chaco's Z/1 Chromatic Sandal ($60-$117) are branded "podiatrist-certified" for strong performance.
Salomon Tech Amphib 4 Water Shoes
It's advertised that Salomon Tech Amphib 4 Water Shoes ($75) have grippy outsoles that gain traction on wet rocks and surfaces both in and out of the water. Plus, the breathable mesh is said to release water without allowing any debris to enter.
Freedom Moses Cruz Slides
If you're spending summer days leisurely boating or walking on the beach rather than hiking and fishing, Freedom Moses Cruz ($45) slides could be a good fit for your more relaxed vibe.
Adidas Terrex Voyager Sleek Summer.Rdy Shoe
Attention hikers, Adidas boasts that its Terrex Voyager Sleek Summer.Rdy Shoe ($70) has rubber outsoles that stick to rocks, roots, and trails — both wet and dry.
Merrell Women's Hydrotrekker Strap
You may love Merrell's Women's Hydrotrekker Strap ($56) shoes' pastel-blue shade — but you're going to love their water-friendly uppers, three-point straps, and wet-grip technology even more.
Lands' End Women's Water Shoes
Don't let the Lands' End Women's Water Shoes' ($36, originally $60) sneaker style fool you — these kicks are made for "water-soaked feet," thanks to outsole and footbed drainage holes.
Adidas Terrex CC Boat Sleek Parley Water Shoes
Not only do Adidas' Terrex CC Boat Sleek Parley Water Shoes ($45, originally $65) have midsole and outsole water drainage, but they're said to offer 360-degree ventilation for foot cooling, too.
