The shoes are treated with silver-based Polygiene, so they never get stinky. Ideal for kayaking, canoeing, rafting and SUPing, a slightly rockered sole and a sturdy midsole – combined with the great grip – also make these comfortable and practical for short walks and hikes, and perfect for adventures that involve river crossings or portaging sections. Thanks to a built-in sockliner, you can wear them with or without socks.Īn EVA midsole cushions feet and protects them from pokey rocks, while razor-siped proprietary G.15 rubber gives wearers high grip-contact that’s also non-marking. Drainage ports at the arch and outside of the foot help shed water, though most of it squishes out or evaporates through the shoe’s breathable materials. It looks like a sneaker and is as comfortable as your favorite pair of sneakers, but it sheds water instantly and is so tenacious on wet rocks, you’ll forget where you’re standing. With a grippy rubber sole, a supportive midsole, and quick-dry mesh with hydrophobic canvas in the shoe’s body, the Brewer (male)/ Brewess (female) 2.0 sets the standard for technical footwear for water-based recreation.

Read our full Olukai Ki'hele review The best cheap water shoes

And they’re a shoe that gives back: For every pair purchased, OluKai donates a portion of proceeds to the Ama OluKai foundation honoring those who preserve and celebrate the cultural heritage and Aloha spirit of Hawai’i. The Ki’hele’s non-marking wet grip rubber sole won’t slip on boat decks, beach rocks, or anything else. That insole overlays a fatigue-busting midsole. The dual-density polyurethane footbed is built around a shock-absorbing gel insert that runs the length of the insole, and felt comfortably squashy in our tests. Stretchy elastic panels on both sides make getting it on and off a hands-free affair. The mesh pairs with lightweight canvas and sueded microfiber.

The upper is breathable lined mesh, designed to keep out sand and to give feet some protection, with a drop heel that folds down, turning the shoe into a slide.
