Five Fingers Footwear



No, this isn't a case of extreme frostbite. It's me in a pair of Five Fingers sandals-shoes-slippers-thingys. I had a chance to test these out recently and found them to be quite comfortable. The neoprene uppers prevented rocks and sand from entering the shoe, and the Vibram soles, while flexible, were tough enough to make the shoes comfortable in the boat and on land.

They may look a bit silly, but they are an alternative for kayaking footwear, especially for playboaters who have a hard time getting their feet into their boats.

Those are extremely European looking legs ;)

Probably the best shoes out there...Incredibly comfortable if sized right! I use mine for kayaking, running, hiking, and everyday use...I have the Sprint but will soon be getting some neoprene ones for the cooler months!

Awesome. I paddled two years in bare feet or socks and this is the only solution.
