Confidence on the water is as important as comfort on your feet and the NRS Desperado Shoe provides both. These warm and flexible boat shoes have a low profile and fit easily into todays low volume cockpits while providing plenty of traction for put ins and portages. The 3 mm Terraprene neoprene with spandex exterior keeps feet warm and cozy with enough stretch to allow ample movement over the long haul. The elastic pull cord with barrel lock system makes closure a cinch, while the Toughtex in high wear areas provides extra padding, and the plastic shim in the sole adds protection when climbing over sharp rocks. To top it off, the recycled rubber on these great water shoes adds traction and protection while putting a smaller footprint on the environment that we all enjoy so much.
