Sales of these 'reliable' water shoes have skyrocketed by 750% on Amazon — and they're under $20
Amazon shoppers say these shoes are great for rocky shores and water activities.
If you're planning on enjoying some water activities now that it's officially summer in Canada, it's a good idea to invest in some foot protection. From slippery rocks in the water to tiptoeing over uncomfortable gravel while getting to the lake, water shoes can help to protect the delicate skin on your feet so you can enjoy your swimming, kayaking and other activities without worrying about cuts and scrapes.
Although Prime Day isn't until July 16-17, Amazon Canada already has quite a few items on sale, including the "Amazon's Choice" Seekway Water Shoes, which are currently featured in their Mover & Shakers category with a whopping 750 per cent increase in sales. For a limited time, shoppers can save up to 36 per cent on the shopper-favourite water shoes and take home select colours for as little as $18. To see more about the deal, keep scrolling.
These water shoes have 4.4 stars on Amazon and more than 15,000 ratings.
The details
These water shoes are made of flexible, breathable material that feels like socks. They help you find your feet on slippery surfaces while also offering protection from sharp objects, like rocks and other debris.
They slip right on without any laces or fastenings, dry quickly, are non-slip and have smooth seams, which prevent chafing in the ankle area.
They roll up, so they don't take up too much space in your bag, which will save you precious storage space for the rest of the equipment you need to pack during your outing to the beach, waterpark, river, pool or lake.
Prices for the shoes start at $18, but if you're interested in a different colour, you can also get them in blue, green, and grey, as well as in fun patterns, but they ring in at a slightly higher price.

Another shared that while they initially bought them to protect their feet from rocks and sticks while in the water, they ended up keeping them on all day and gave the shoes a "10/10" score.
One reviewer shared that the water shoes make wading and swimming "more comfortable," especially when "compared to going barefoot."
If you're concerned about style, no need to fret—one person said that they love the look of the water shoes, describing them as "awesome" and a standout product from the rest of the crowd.
However, one person said that while they didn't find the shoes to be horribly uncomfortable, they did think that the outsoles were "a bit too thin" as well as "kind of flimsy."
In terms of fit, another shared that the sizing "runs slightly small," so that might be something to bear in mind.
The verdict
For people looking to enjoy the great outdoors this summer, the Seekway Water Shoes on Amazon are worth checking out to protect your feet — especially considering their early Prime Day sale price.
Reviewers say they're "great bang for your buck," but some do note that they "could be made more comfortable."
