Swim shoes

Surely you have also tried to step on a sharp rock or clam just as you got into the water? This can be avoided with a pair of the best of the best swim shoes, which protect the feet from sharp objects, but also from slipping on slippery rocks. And last - but not least - they also protect against the sun's sometimes dangerous rays, as the swim shoes are UV swim shoes and thus protect you from the sun.

The unique thing about a pair of swim shoes, which can also be called beach shoes or water shoes, is that they protect your feet on the beach. Quite simply. And they work just as well on land as in water - and with a little getting used to, you won't even notice that you are swimming and bathing with shoes on.

Here at Watery.ie, we have carefully curated a wide range of swim shoes and swim socks, as it turned out - after several tests of different types of swim shoes - that these are clearly are the best at protecting you from sharp objects, are the most comfortable to wear (both on the beach and in the water), and also the best at protecting you from the sun's rays. So there is really no reason to bring in other types of swim shoes.

Swim shoes for all occasions

Swim shoes are not just popular at all ages, but absolutely also a great idea. This particularly applies to swim shoes for kids, where the delicate and sensitive skin on the feet is in many ways more exposed than in adults. For example, sharp objects/stones, the hot sand or pointy seashells.

As such, it is also a great idea that they use a pair of swim shoes - not least on the beach, but also around swimming pools. This is not least due to wet tiles, which can become extremely slippery, and in turn can lead to some nasty falling accidents. If the kid has difficulty getting used to swim shoes, then swim socks are a very good alternative. Swim socks from Duukies are without question the best on the market.

However, it is not just kids who can benefit greatly from a pair of swim shoes. Adults are in many ways also exposed to the same risks, even though the injuries may not be quite as serious on the beach trip, they can still make it into a worse experience. Therefore, swim shoes for adults are at least as good an idea as swim shoes for kids.

And they don't have to be boring or ugly to wear, as you will find are many different models of swim shoes for men and swim shoes for women.

A little tip from us here at Watery, is for those who love to walk along the edge of the water, streams or rivers. With the right pair of swim shoes, which have a good solid and shock-absorbing sole, as well as a great drainage system, you don't even need to change your footwear during the hike. They are made to walk just as well on land as in water.

And finally, it should be mentioned that most swim shoes and swim socks dry just as quickly as swimwear.

Swim shoes with sun protection

Although most people probably don't think about it, the skin on the feet is often the most exposed to the sun's harmful rays - particularly when it comes to kids. As they often alternate between water and land in a lot of fantastic splashing and playing around, their feet always get wet. And since even the most waterproof sunscreen is washed off - in fact by up to 50% after 20 minutes in water - there is a great need to often apply sunscreen to the feet on the beach trip or holiday to avoid sunburn.

The same of course goes for adults, but with a pair of swim shoes or socks, you can easily get around that problem. Not only do they protect against sharp objects and slippery surfaces, they also have UV 50+ sun protection, so you can send your kid into the water with confidence that their feet won't get burnt by the sun.
