Chatham’s Aqua Go Mist is the result of many years of research and designed to wear barefoot in water. However, they’re just as adaptable for walking around town too.
Chatham Aqua Go Mist Performance Shoes
They feature a midsole with direct drainage holes that will empty the shoes of water within 10 seconds. The upper is made of a three-ply perforated mesh and woven material, designed to keep feet cool during the day and yet nice and comfortable on a chilly day.
Primarily designed for a sailing audience, however, no matter what watersport you’re involved they would be an excellent choice. This applies particularly on decking and slippery rocks, the shoes feel very grippy with its slimline and hardy latex sole and your bare feet will feel very attached to the soft insole made from Phylon rubber. Perfect shoes if you’re getting your feet wet regularly as they also dry out very rapidly – in warmer conditions they will be the only shoes you will need all day before and after being on the water.
In short, they are lightweight, flexible and well cushioned, ideal for paddling and many other watersports when you need reliable grip and comfortable well aired feet. If the lime colour is too gaudy for your tastes, there is a much more muted conservative grey/red combo.
