It’s finally time to head outdoors to enjoy a range of activities, from white-water rafting to hitting a water park with the kids. When on such outings, comfort and safety should be top of mind, especially when it comes to your footwear.
Look for sandals with adjustable straps that are quick-drying, so you won’t be water logged all day. Also, make sure straps are adjustable and close securely with a buckle, so you won’t run the risk of losing one as you head down the rapids.
Next, turn sandals upside down to check for surfaces that offer plenty of traction on wet surfaces to protect against slips and falls. There are also a range of outdoor brands that incorporate linings that are anti-microbial for an added layer of protection.
Lastly, look for footbeds that are contoured as well as cushioned. Since you will be putting added pressure on your feet, make sure you have the maximum level of comfort.
