Prepare to change what you think when you hear “water shoe.” Teva defined this category when we first launched, and now we’re re-defining it for a new generation of water lovers with the Gnarkosi. Designed in collaboration with professional wakeskaters, the Gnarkosi boasts incredible water performance qualities in a shoe that is begging to be rocked at the bar. Drain Frame™ perforations in the toe and heel drain water like a sieve, and Spider Original rubber on a completely flat outsole design is grippy enough for the best wakeskaters in the world to do their thing. So say hello to the first advanced water shoe designed by and for the new guard of outdoor athletes, the Gnarkosi.

Since the sea floor would range from soft sand, to sand embedded with sharp volcanic rock, doing this barefoot or with cheap thin soled “beach sandals” would be risky and enviting injury. Also, after the landings, we would exploring/hiking around the island for many hours, to view the wildlife. We would be treking over all types of surfaces from dry sand, to very slippery, sharp volcanic…
