Watersport | how to choose your water shoes ?

While exploring the seashores, wearing water shoes can protect your feet. Say goodbye to floppy flip flops that get stuck in the sand. Let us teach you how to choose a pair of water shoes for your summer adventures!

You can't miss a beach day without playing around the sandy shore, and going into the crystal clear water! But the sand is scorching hot from the sun, the reef is slippery with sharp edges, and there might even be broken glass bottles hidden in the sand. That’s why whether you are playing beach volleyball, kite flying, water skiing or snorkeling, you should have a pair of water shoes. The water shoes are worn in the same way as regular sneakers, but they are specifically designed for beach and water activities.

There are three criteria for selecting a pair of water shoes: Support, shock-absorption and grip.

The functions and characteristics of water shoes

1. Grip
A pair of good water shoes must have slip-proof soles as slipping often causes serious injuries. The studded design could reduce the risk of slipping with increased traction.

The shoes with thinner soles and finer studs have a wider range of uses, such as walks on the beach. If you want to visit a beach with reefs or rocks, then water shoes with thicker soles are more suitable.

2. Level of shock-absorption
The thickness of EVA insoles is proportional to the level of shock-absorption. Water shoes with a 1 to 2 cm thick sole are ideal for walking on rocks. Water shoes with thinner bottoms are more suitable for water sports and beach activities.

3. Snug fit
Even if the water shoes are soaked, they should be able to stay on. In addition, Subea's water shoes now have a rubber strap, so you don't have to worry about it falling off.

4. Salt-resistant and quick-drying
Most of Subea’s water shoes are salt-resistant and quick-drying. The design also reduces the chance of sand entering the shoe. The new generation of Subea water shoes comes with a detachable EVA insole that adds comfort. If sand enters, it will only take you about five seconds to clean the inside!

5. Comfort
Our innovative water shoes are designed to avoid discomfort and avoid blisters. We have styles, color and size for all, including men, ladies, children, even babies! With the complete range, it is an easy task to take your whole family to the beach for snorkelling and underwater exploration!

How to take care of your water shoes

To take care of your water shoes is really simple. After using, rinse with water and then dry in a cool place. They are designed to drain and dry quickly.

Want it keep it for the winter? You just have to wash the water shoes in a washing machine and thoroughly dry it. After that, store it in a dry and cool place without direct sunshine. Just wait till the next summer season and have fun with your water shoes!
