Grip your stand-up paddleboard like a gecko with these versatile water shoes. An ideal footwear choice for Inland NW rivers and lakes where encounters with sharp rocks, glass, and other jetsam are inevitable, these Bodyglove water shoes could save you a trip to the emergency room to have a shard of Keystone Ice can removed from your foot. And they will definitely give you better traction on slippery rocks when launching or portaging your SUP, tube, or kayak. These amphibious shoes are made for both the water and beach time, where they will save your feet from hot scorching sand. The Barefoot Max shoes have a stretchy fit, integrated drainage system, shocklace and Velcro strap to limit heel lift, and a three-toe design that makes getting them on and off relatively easy. Pick a pair up at the General Store in Spokane and be ready for the start of the paddling and Spokane River floating season. MSRP: $49.99. Bodyglove.com. //
