Best Columbia Sportswear Women's Drainmaker Water Shoe Deals

Customer Ratings:

I've just received these shoes and wore them once for water aerobics, which I do up to 5 days a week. I cannot say one bad thing about these shoes. They are very well made and light on the foot. They are also quite stylish and look great. I had previously purchased the Speedo Wave Runner, and while they were also cute and comfortable, they only held up to the chlorine for 6 months, before the fabric upper deteriorated. This shoe also seems to provide great shock absorbtion, which does me a world of good, and anyone else who needs pain relief. They are really made like a good running shoe. Everything on this shoe is mesh, they dry fast. I believe they are going to last much longer. I am completely happy with this purchase. I paid $45 for the Pagoda Blue and I feel like I've gotten away with something, really.

Needed a shoe for a trip involving white water rafting, jungle hikes, rappeling, zip lines, beach walks, city tours and more. I use only a carry on rucksack to travel. This shoe substituted for flip flops, Teva sandals and dress shoes used by my travel companions.

Comfortable even with my bunion, practical, space saving and enough support that using them 10 days straight did not bother my arthritis.

Bonus value was the ease of cleaning. 2 travel companions were delayed at customs in the US because of the mud on their athletic shoes. No real issue but an avoidable annoyance.

(2008 HOLIDAY TEAM)I bought a pair of these water shoes (in light blue and white) for a vacation when I was going cave tubing in the morning and zip-lining in the afternoon, with moderate hiking and climbing in between. These were perfect! Their deep, sectioned treads provide good traction through mud, across wet rocks, and up slippery ladders/steps. Thanks to mesh upper material, thin insoles, and drain holes in the foam mid-soles, they dry out quickly, even with your feet inside. I never felt that squishiness of wet footwear. They offer decent arch support, too, something that I was thankful for as I crossed a rocky riverbed. Best of all, they are completely comfortable all day, without having to break them in.

These lightweight water shoes look like walking or running shoes, but they don't have the rugged construction needed for those uses. Although the shoes transition well between the water and land, they probably wouldn't last long if worn for everyday use. Mine ran true to size; if you plan to wear socks, particularly thick ones, you might have to order up a half-size. The only issue I had was walking up normal stairs -the deep treads tended to catch on the lip of steps, just a little, and I was afraid of falling if I wasn't careful.

I recommend these shoes for boating and land/water transitions or for wading circumstances when you might need extra foot support. If you're just going to use them for the beach or pool, go with one of the less expensive, form-fitting types.
