Keen

Years ago people stripped off their shoes before wading through a river or playing on the rocks around the water. Now there are literally dozens of water shoes to consider, from the slick and comfortable Newport H2 sandal, made by Keen shoes, to neoprene booties made by aquatech.

Mens' sandals and kids sandals offer increased traction and protection from the elements that are sure to keep you in the water longer. Women sandals do too but differ slightly in style.

If you're not too interested in style, and just want keen footwear that will keep your feet protected for the duration, keen sandals may be a good selection. The sandal does not end at the tips of your toes; rather, it extends up and around the front of your toe. This important feature will surely prevent you from crushing the front of your toe on a small rock while hopping around the river. It keeps wet sand and debris from entering in the front as well.

The days of barefoot water activities are over. For whatever your reason to get wet, foot protection should be considered, and water shoes are the perfect solution.

Silicone Bracelets can be used to hold a pair of keen sandals together which will prevent them from being lost during storing. Rubber wristbands will snap easier, so it's be to use silicone wristbands whenever possible.
