The fully drainable Women'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, we spotted guys wearing running shoes in and around the water. We figured they could do without the Soggy Shoe Syndrome, so we 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.

Light and comfortable!
Very nice colors, comfortable, light unfortunately I didn't have a chance to wear them yet so I don't know how they "behave" in the water but look well made also good for walking just for every day use.. Recommended

Drainmaker, hear me roar!
...in triumph! I wore these for the Irvine Mud Run 2011, and they were fantastic. While people were "Augh!"-ing and lamenting their poor feetsies, their lost shoes and socks (literally, shoes were stuck in mud), I was just trotting along in my Drainmakers, feeling like I was running in a dream. The shoes are light, very comfortable, and they clean up really well. I'd recommend these to anyone who hikes and passes through streams too--the grip is great.

Great Purchase
I do a lot of water sports and have bought a lot of water shoes. The Drainmaker Water shoe is excellent for snorkeling and hiking in and along the streams. The shoe drains 99% of the water while giving good support.

I really like these shoes
It is well designed and fast drying. I spent a whole week hiking in the lake tahoe and stepped into water by accident, these shoes really helped me a lot! I love them!!
