Men’s Aqua Shoes

When choosing men's water shoes (aquashoes), you need to pay attention to some key features. First of all, the sole must be made of non-slip rubber with grooves to provide you with a stable grip on slippery stones, rocks, or on a SUP board. Also, the upper part should be made of perforated fabric (mesh) that allows water to drain immediately so the shoe doesn't get heavy. Finally, prefer models that fit snugly around the ankle or feature an elastic adjustable drawstring so they don't slip off your foot while swimming.

Although both are summer must-haves, they serve completely different purposes. Water shoes (Aquashoes) are designed to be worn inside the water; they are closed-toe, protect the entire foot from sea urchins or sharp rocks, fit like a sock, and are ideal for swimming, kayaking, and snorkeling. However, they are not recommended for long walks on land. On the other hand, water sandals are open shoes designed for walking on land, trails, or the beach. They offer much better shock absorption thanks to their cushioned sole and provide arch support, but you cannot swim in them.

For water shoes, you must choose your exact size, as it is important that they fit snugly like a sock without leaving empty space in front of your toes. If you get even one size larger, as soon as water enters, the shoe will start to shift on your foot, the heel will slip, and there is a high risk of losing it while swimming.

Absolutely! Decathlon's water shoes are specifically designed for rocky beaches. They feature soles with textured lugs that prevent slipping on wet rocks and fully protect your feet from sea urchin spines and sharp stones, making entering and exiting the sea perfectly safe.

Proper maintenance extends their lifespan and prevents unpleasant odors. After each use, rinse them thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt, sand, and chlorine. Decathlon's aquashoes can safely be machine washed on a short delicate cycle at 30°C with a little liquid detergent, but always without fabric softener. Let them dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area and avoid leaving them under the hot sun for long hours, as excessive heat can degrade the sole's rubber and weaken the adhesives.
