BodyGlove 3T Barefoot Warrior Watershoe

The company offers toed watershoes up for all watersports including kayaking and SUP. Testers found the three-toed design grabbed their attention as much on land as on the water. Defying hot pavement, gritty inflations zones and slippery launching spots, Warrior stood tall to go from truck to lake with BodyGlove’s Integrated Drainage System that’s more than capable of expelling water from the shoe, an important factor in fall and spring when wet feet and wind equal cold feet and reduce control on the board. Getting Barefoot on was a challenge initially, one worth the effort for comfort, traction and protection. Elastic cord closure for the slip-on style was secure with quality toggles (with a bit of excess bungee to stow at the end). In total, this one from storied brand BodyGlove is an immediate upgrade to the paddling experience well worth the retail price.
