The Desperado Sock is the solution for boaters trying to fit into today's low-volume kayaks, offering enough protection for put-ins and portages. Comfortable fitted lycra upper combined with 3-mm neoprene padding in the toes and heel for in-the-boat protection. 1.5-mm rubber sole for traction, flexibility and feel. The perfect sock for boaters looking for maximum comfort with minimum bulk.
These shoes are running snug - If you are in between sizes or have wide feet you may want to consider the next size larger.

nice footwear
I needed footwear for use in my skin-on-frame. Most shoes are either to bulky or have something that might snag in the event of a mishap. The desperado sock offers good foot protection as well as a smooth profile to avoid a snag. They do run a little small, so adjust up a size.

Outstanding for skin kayaks and large feet!
I normally wear a size 13XW shoe and have had a great deal of problems finding footwear for lake kayaking. After a great deal of trial and error, I found the XXXL Desperado Sock fit nicely over top of a Chota waterproof knee high sock and liner and allows me to launch my kayak without getting chilled in the colder water off season. Soft and quite comfy with just enough support where & when needed, and still allows me to feel and adjust the rudder pedals. A superb product!

A Must Have
After getting a sandal caught inside my boat, it was either barefoot or water-socks. These were by any means the best investment in all my gear. I've only worn them a few times, but they show no wear, and have a great fit.
