I have started riding PWCs, a SeaDoo, and was wondering if any of you guys/girls have bought water shoes. I went on-line and not sure which ones will work. I would like a tight fit so that dirt and small rocks will not sneak in when I am walking on the bottom of the lake. Any suggestions?

Look into the dive boots that SCUBA divers wear..

Henderson and Pinnacle make some top-of-the-line models.. Low cuts would be just right......

Wore the shoes for a while and thought they were just as much as a pain as without the shoes when wave riding.

I have lived on and around the water for several years, water shoes are great for all types of water activity, I have always just picked up whatever fit well and was reasonably priced and never had any problems.

I found Sperry's to be the best. My favorite are the ones that look like basketball shoes,great traction, however I haven't found any that keep sand and small debris out!

I use these shoes for kayaking and water sports that entail rough rocky terrain. Highly recommended and the company is very good about fast delivery and reasonable prices. Check it out:

I've used them in the past Joe and found them pretty useless.

Soles were to thin and I felt every rock or sharp pointy thing.

Like larry says, go with divers boots with the thicker soles.

'walking on the bottom of the lake'

Walk on the water, like I do.

Those are awesome, I use them when I surf reef breaks out of the country. Really like you aren't even wearing shoes.

Stop on the way and buy a cheap pair of sneakers then throw them away when your done for the day. Well, that's what we do.

NRS carries a lot of Kayak shoes that work well. They have tough soles that are good for walking around and most have good grip.
