They actually work surprisingly well, since the velcro keeps everything in place, but they aren't made for this). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-boat-shoes#post-2129214 Tue, 23 Jun 2020 17:26:45 +0000 JAileen 2129214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, now I’m paranoid about wearing my Tevas on my bike. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-boat-shoes#post-2129168 Tue, 23 Jun 2020 12:06:31 +0000 Anonymous 2129168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla would shout at me if I wore those on a bike! I may not be able to double duty them. Really I want my old cushy Nikes back, but think they're not available anymore UA has similar looking ones though... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-boat-shoes#post-2129154 Tue, 23 Jun 2020 09:55:36 +0000 Mainelady 2129154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suntiger, when boating, I usually wear my Sperry Topsiders. They have proven themselves to handle the steepest ramps and the rockiest shores. &nbsp;Like you, I remove them when on the boat.<br />&nbsp; I recently bought a pair of Croc Swiftwater sandals for the beach and have found them to be very secure for getting in and out of boats, kayaks and canoes. I am not sure how they would work for pedaling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-boat-shoes#post-2129087 Mon, 22 Jun 2020 22:43:27 +0000 Anonymous 2129087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I don't stand on the SUP with shoes on! They're just for getting in into the water. Some of the landings are rocky or muddy so not nice to walk with bare feet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-boat-shoes#post-2129077 Mon, 22 Jun 2020 21:34:34 +0000 Sal 2129077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use sneakers for cycling in the most part (will wear sandals at the beach).&nbsp; I have always SUP in bare feet.... maybe that is where I am going wrong haha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-boat-shoes#post-2129068 Mon, 22 Jun 2020 20:59:51 +0000 rachylou 2129068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Chacos too... but also am like Carla... open toe shoes for biking would totally scare me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-boat-shoes#post-2129052 Mon, 22 Jun 2020 20:13:18 +0000 Anonymous 2129052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no Carla I don't wear flip flops for cycling, just trainers. They're hot and make me unhappy, but I don't want to hurt my feet and be out of commision either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-boat-shoes#post-2129038 Mon, 22 Jun 2020 19:27:51 +0000 Carla 2129038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are freaking me out, suntiger. &nbsp;DO NOT wear sandals or flip flops for cycling. &nbsp;EVER! &nbsp;A cycling friend ripped up his foot so bad he required a hospital visit and 6 weeks to recover. &nbsp;No running. &nbsp;No swimming. &nbsp;No biking.</p> <p>Well, maybe something like this...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-boat-shoes#post-2129035 Mon, 22 Jun 2020 19:22:35 +0000 Anonymous 2129035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was looking at similar to those actually. Some "sandals" essentially look like slightly more open trainers, which isn't what I want. The goal is to just use trainers in the winter if possible </p> <p> Depending on the wind/heat/humidity I ride 1-2 hours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-boat-shoes#post-2129030 Mon, 22 Jun 2020 19:14:38 +0000 JAileen 2129030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve been wearing my Tevas when I’ve been on bike rides lately. &nbsp;Mind you, these are rides of less than an hour. &nbsp;These sandals might be called clunky, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-boat-shoes#post-2129025 Mon, 22 Jun 2020 18:54:11 +0000 Anonymous 2129025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My feet do have high arches, so that's not an issue. Intrigued by the convertible Rosa sandals! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-boat-shoes#post-2129023 Mon, 22 Jun 2020 18:48:05 +0000 Janet 2129023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh interesting, LaP — my Chacos are a flip-flop style and not a very pronounced arch (my arches are average so I can’t tolerate too much arch in a footbed). I don’t see my exact model on their website, but they are a few years old, from REI, i think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-boat-shoes#post-2129021 Mon, 22 Jun 2020 18:41:43 +0000 LaPed 2129021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've always liked Chacos; the Vibram outsole is good in and out of water. They have a pretty serious arch, though, which I used to be able to tolerate but can't anymore, so I switched to Bedrock Sandals, which are more minimalist but still have excellent traction.&nbsp; <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bedrocksandals.com/collections/cairn-sandals-lineup">https://bedrocksandals.com/col.....als-lineup</a></p> <p>You might like Astral too: they make paddling-crossover shoes, so they look like casual shoes but have good grip on wet surfaces and excellent drainage. Mostly closed toe, but I think they have a sandal option that looks like a flip-flop but has a removable back strap to make them more secure.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.astraldesigns.com/shop/footwear/"></a><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.astraldesigns.com/shop/footwear/womens">https://www.astraldesigns.com/shop/footwear/womens</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-boat-shoes#post-2129017 Mon, 22 Jun 2020 18:35:28 +0000 Anonymous 2129017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look nice and minimalist!

Maybe check them out? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-boat-shoes#post-2129013 Mon, 22 Jun 2020 18:21:25 +0000 Anonymous 2129013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought these Nike Celso Girl sandals to replace my nice soft cushy Nike sandals that tore after 2 years of use. But I learned the hard way this afternoon, they are definitely not boat shoes. Veeery slippery when wet and the thongs feel much more precarious than the last ones. Fine for walking or on a flat landing, but not for a steep sloped boat ramp :(</p> <p>So- I had been thinking of getting sandals I can also cycle in, and often the sport sandals are listed for both. I'm not using my clip in pedals, just flat ones for now. Anyone done this? </p> <p>For SUP I just use them while getting in and out of the water, then take them off and tuck them under the ropes. Still I'd want them to be pretty minimalist, not clunky. </p>
