[REEF TOURER] [Amazon.co.jp Exclusive] (REEF TOURER) Marine Shoes with Finger Guards for Snorkeling, Adult Size 23cm, Violet, RBW3041P

[Protect your feet with marine shoes] These marine shoes are designed for Japanese people by Tabata, a diving equipment manufacturer (TUSA) in Asakusa, Tokyo. Contrary to the clean image of beaches and rivers, sharp stones, shells, and coral are scattered everywhere, increasing the risk of foot injury when walking barefoot. To protect your feet from such dangers, we highly recommend wearing marine shoes when playing in the water. Marine shoes fully cover not only the soles of your feet but also the toes and instep, providing complete protection from various irritants. REEFTOURER marine shoes are equipped with finger guards, preventing heel chafing while snorkeling. [Comfortable both in the water and on land] Don't just assume that all marine shoes are the same when choosing them. There are three key points to consider when choosing comfortable shoes for use on the beach, in the water, and anywhere else: stretch, good drainage, and a tight opening. First, stretch, which directly affects comfort. It's recommended to buy marine shoes a size smaller than usual to prevent them from slipping off in the water and to reduce sand ingress, but if the fabric isn't stretchy, they'll be too tight and uncomfortable to wear. REEFTOURER marine shoes are made with the same stretchy material used in wetsuits, so you don't have to worry about that! The second benefit is good drainage. If water can't drain from inside the shoes, they'll become increasingly heavy. This makes it difficult to move around and they'll be slow to dry even when you're on land. REEFTOURER marine shoes feature mesh fabric on the sides, allowing you to walk smoothly in the water without the shoes becoming heavy. What's more, they don't get too sweaty inside the shoes and dry quickly once you're on land. Many people worry that mesh fabric will let sand in, but most of the time, sand gets in through the opening. By following our sizing tips and choosing the right size, you can prepare for sandy conditions!

[Protect your feet! Plus, protect from sunburn] The most important thing about marine shoes is their thorough protection. REEFTOURER marine shoes have thick, non-slip soles. Marine shoes with thin soles can cause pain in the soles of your feet and make it difficult to get a good grip on rocky or other sharp surfaces. Even when walking on sandy beaches, you're likely to feel the irritation of shell fragments and twigs, which can lead to unconsciously treading carefully and limiting your enjoyment. Marine shoes with a sturdy sole offer exceptional security. The mid-cut opening also provides excellent protection for the ankles, which protrude from the inside of your foot. This helps prevent injuries while swimming. They also protect against sunburn, a major summer enemy. Pairing leggings with mid-cut marine shoes is the perfect way to protect your feet from sunburn!

[Heel guards perfect for snorkeling] If you're planning on snorkeling with fins in the ocean or river, these marine shoes are highly recommended. The heel guards on the marine shoes prevent heel rubbing and pain even when wearing fins. Furthermore, the heel guards provide a firm grip, preventing the fabric above the heel from bunching up and slipping off in the water. Sneaker-style marine shoes with laces are convenient and easy to adjust, but when wearing fins, the laces and adjustment straps can get in the way, making it difficult to get a proper fit. If you're planning on wearing fins, we highly recommend a moccasin-style shoe without laces.

[Tips for Choosing the Right Size] Choosing the right size for marine shoes can be a difficult task. The key to choosing a size is to choose a size slightly smaller than your usual shoes! REEFTORER marine shoes may feel a little tight when you first put them on, but they have good elasticity so they rarely feel so tight that you can't wear them. On the other hand, if you choose a size larger than usual, your heel may not fit properly, causing your foot to slip inside the shoe, increasing the risk of you not being able to apply enough force on slippery surfaces and falling. Also, if there are gaps around the ankle or heel, sand can easily get into the shoes. Choose marine shoes that are a little smaller than your usual shoes to ensure a comfortable fit.
