Great for most any water or land based excursion, these XTRATUF deck shoes not only look and feel great but also keep you safe and sure-footed thanks to our signature non-slip Chevron outsole, the same as our original commercial grade fishing boots. They are extremely comfortable and feature a breathable quick dry airmesh upper that both drains and dries quickly. Whether you’re launching your kayak or sighting fish from your paddle board, the XTRATUF Riptides will keep you on your feet and adventure bound.
- Economical deck shoe features a full Airmesh upper that allows shoes to breathe, keeping your feet cool on hot summer days
- Airmesh is quick-dry and combines with medial holes for excellent drainage–ideal for kayaking and river-shore fishing where feet are constantly awash
- PU/EVA Comfort insole cushions feet and helps prevent foot and leg fatigue; rear pull loops for easy on/off and convenient lace toggles for easy tightening and locking
- Slip-resistant Chevron outsole provides excellent traction on slippery decks and rocks; outsole is non-marking for safe outdoor/indoor transition
- Designed for ultimate packability, the shoes easily push down flat for convenient tucking away in knapsack or back pockets; classic black & white color scheme matches any outdoor attire

So far, a great alternative to flip-flop sandals. Not that they are intended solely as such, they work excellently for this purpose. Very breathable, cushy insole, and perfect for in and out of the water. They dry within an hour in the desert heat – even faster if left outdoors. I repeatedly use these to launch boats, stepping into knee deep water with them on, then wearing them to lunch at the local cafe. I have been complemented several times a day, as typically people are hesitant about me putting my “nice shoes” into the water. When they find out that they are water shoes they immediately search for them to buy.

Little structure, easy to put on and take off. Not a running or walking shoe, good on boat

The shoes are awesome but after one week the side mesh is Deteriorating and a hole is opening up . I was wearing them every day until I started to open up. So I switch back to my extra tough boots hopefully in the future they will address the issue and make a better product because I really love the water shoes

Took this shoe for a hike. I know it’s mainly for a boat use but I figure instead of wearing water shoes these may work better for an all day use on the trail to the water hole. Held up fine but certain times the shoes were a little to slippery as if the grip doesn’t stick when it’s wet and your stepping on dry rocks.

They are very comfortable except the seams are starting to pop by the toes.

Other than the wondrous “utopia like” feeling when you insert your feet into these exemplary XTRATUF Riptide Airmesh Deck shoes; you also get a warm fuzzy feeling that crashes upon you like waves washing upon the shore. Be prepared for goosebumps, and piloerection. XTRATUF should have a disclaimer or warning that it may cause euphoric like feelings when wearing these shoes. I quickly became a super human. There wasn’t a wave or fish that could stop me. The amount of traction on these shoes are much like a mountain goat scaling the steepest of mountains. What makes them so great is that fact that I could still move like Michael Jackson dancing to “Billie Jean”. However, I do not recommend wearing them to bed. The super powers only work near water and they did not block the right hook the wife threw.

Awesome shoes. Extremely comfortable and are surefooted when aboard the boat.
