The Best Water Shoes of 2026: Our Staff Picks

The Best Water Shoes of 2026: Our Staff Picks

Water shoe season has officially arrived, and our team has some favorites they love. From all-day comfort to reliable traction and easy-on styles, these are the pairs our staff reaches for all summer long. See what made the list and find your new favorite for the season!

Karli: Lems Switchback

“Comfortable all day with a foot-shaped footbed and an easy adjustable strap. Super lightweight and secure so they’ll stay on your feet while floating the river!”

Laura: Bedrock

“I love Bedrock sandals because the footbed feels so natural and lets my feet do what they’re designed to do. I spend a lot of time in and around the water during the summer, and they provide excellent traction on rocks and uneven terrain without ever feeling bulky or restrictive.”

Steph: Chaco

“I love Chaco because of their incredible durability, the wide toe box, and amazing arch support. I’ve had my pair for four years and they’re still going strong!”

Christine: Tread Labs 

“Lightweight, flexible, have great arch support and dry quickly.”

Gillian: Keen Hyperport

“My mom was onto something when she forced me to wear these as a kid. From tide pooling to wading through rocky rivers, they keep my feet protected and comfortable through it all!”

 

Vicki: Birkenstock EVA

"The Birkenstock EVA is one of my summer go-tos because it's lightweight, comfortable, and seemlessly goes from beach to dinner. Bonus: sand rinses right off, making it the perfect water sandal!"

*We carry adult AND kid’s sizes in EVAs!*
