Reef Shoes & Water Shoes

Choose reef shoes and water shoes for beach trips, shoreline access and time around the water. Compare adult and junior options by fit, sole construction and the activities described for each model.

Compare uppers, drainage and soles

Slip-on designs, adjustable heel cords, mesh panels and neoprene uppers offer different ways to fit and wear a water shoe. Check which features the individual model includes. Sole flexibility, tread and coverage also vary; grip depends on the surface and conditions.

Check the size guide

Use the product’s own size chart and check whether it lists foot length in centimetres, EU sizes or US sizes. Junior shoe sizes and age labels are not interchangeable. The shoe should stay comfortably in place without squeezing the toes.

Will water shoes fit your fins?

Check whether your fins are designed for bare feet, socks or footwear. Shoes add bulk, and an adjustable heel strap does not guarantee enough space in the foot pocket. Compare the shoe and fin together before choosing either size.

Need dive boots or kids’ gear?

For zip-up neoprene boots and footwear intended for compatible open-heel dive fins, visit dive boots. Explore Kids & Junior Snorkelling Gear, snorkelling fins or fin socks for the rest of your kit.
