The fully drainable Men's Drainmaker Water Shoe from Columbia Sportswear lets you catch the fish and release the stream. On a recent fishing trip in the Florida Keys, Columbia spotted guys wearing running shoes in and around the water. Columbia's designers figured they could do without the Soggy Shoe Syndrome, so they created a hybrid shoe that combines the lightweight comfort of a running shoe with the quick-dry capabilities of a water shoe. The upper features breathable open cell mesh with a durable TPU toe cap, while the Techlite midsole has built-in drainage ports in the heel and forefoot to allow water to instantly escape. Wet/dry traction is assured by a siped, lugged outsole with Omni-Grip Wet Grip rubber for sure footing on slick surfaces.
Purchase USD$45 or more and get free shipping. The Columbia Drainmaker Water Shoe for Men is available through Altrec.com.

Excellent!
My husband loves these shoes! Wears hiking, kayaking, and everyday! Very breathable and they dry quickly! He loves that he doesn't have to worry about sand or rocks getting in his shoes when we are kayaking. The only thing you have to worry about is your feet getting more dust and dirt when hiking...And that is hardly a worry. He would buy another pair and one for me too! Love them!

Extremely light on your feet
This is a good shoe if you like having minimum weight on your feet. This shoe could be considered Columbia's version of a minimalist shoe, with a better price and less cliche. I find this shoe extremely convenient on hot days, they keep your feet cool and well ventilated. And you can fully submerge them and have them dried quicker than most water shoes.

Best Boat shoe ever, good-bye old crocs!
I ordered this because I was tired of slipping on the deck with my crocs, tired of weird tan lines and sunburns on my feet from flip-flops and because I wanted something that would grip well, dry fast and protect my feet from the sun and on the shore. These shoes fit the bill and they are very comfortable to boot! I am going to buy another pair as a back-up in case they stop making them when these wear out.
