Like the feeling of being barefoot, but need the protection and traction of a watersport shoe when kayaking, stand up paddling, kiteboarding, windsurfing or just scrambling across wet surfaces? SON-R Technology™ is the answer! Sperry has designed shoes that provide “outsole-to-insole-to-brain” sensory feedback-the ability to See With Your Feet™! A glance at the bottom of these shoes tells you something new is going on here.

Anatomically positioned pods on the ultra-flexible, non-marking Hydro-Grip™ rubber Wave-Siped™ outsoles work in concert with textured insoles containing independent chambers that respond to changes in pressure exerted to your foot so you can feel, think and react to whatever is beneath your feet for better agility, stability and balance. Plus, you’ll find breathable, low-absorption materials throughout, self-draining uppers and a bungee cord lacing system that snugs up quickly for a secure, glove-like fit. Imported
