JOBE water shoes for beach, boat and water sports
A JOBE water shoe is a light shoe with non-slip sole and quick-drying material that protects your feet on the boat, the beach, on a SUP or at a rocky swimming spot. JOBE supplies water shoes for men, women and kids in three main lines: the Discover Sneaker as a sporty shoe, the Discover Slipper and slip-on for entry without laces, and the H2O as a budget-friendly neoprene sock for kids and beach use.
Which JOBE water shoe for whom?
The choice depends on where you use the shoe. On a slippery boat you want grip under the sole, on a rocky beach a closed shoe around the toes, on a SUP something that dries fast and doesn't stay full of water.

Non-slip and protection
The Discover soles feature a non-slip rubber pattern that grips both on a wet boat deck and on overgrown stones. The upper is made of mesh or neoprene, designed to let water through quickly and dry just as fast. Combine a good water shoe with a wetsuit for colder months or early in the season.
Frequently asked questions about JOBE water shoes
What size water shoe should I pick?
JOBE water shoes run about true to regular shoe size, but a little wider in the toe box so you don't get pressure points when your foot swells in warm water. Caught between two sizes, pick the regular size for the Sneaker and a half-size up for the Slipper because it's open at the heel. The H2O neoprene sock is stretchy and comes in four kids sizes (S/M/L/XL) or unisex sizes. Always try a water shoe on with a wet sock to check fit; it fits differently dry than after an hour in the water.
Can JOBE water shoes go in the washing machine?
The Discover Sneaker and Slip-on can run on a hand-wash program at 30 degrees without spinning, but the manufacturer prefers hand rinsing. Remove the laces, drop them loose in a laundry bag and don't use fabric softener (it damages the non-slip rubber). Dry in the shade, not on heating or in the dryer. The neoprene H2O sock doesn't belong in the washing machine anyway; rinse with fresh water and hang on a clip. Persistent smell? A scoop of natural baking soda in the rinse helps.
Are JOBE water shoes suitable for the sea?
Yes, all JOBE water shoes are designed for salt water. The outer material resists brine and contains no iron parts that would rust. The Discover Sneaker and High Sneaker protect your foot against sharp shells, jellyfish remains and pebble beaches. Rinse them with fresh water immediately after sea use to keep salt crystals away from the stitching, otherwise the mesh wears faster. For warm, clear sea water the neoprene H2O also works as an alternative, and for long walks on rocky beaches pick the closed Sneaker.
Do I need water shoes on a SUP or canoe?
On a SUP water shoes are nice but not required. Many SUP riders stand barefoot because they feel more grip on the anti-slip surface. But when you paddle in cold spring or autumn water, or walk over a muddy entry point, a neoprene H2O or a Discover Slipper helps a lot. For canoe and kayak you want a closed shoe because your feet stay wet for a long time and without protection they cool down or get blisters against the boat interior. A pair of Discover Sneakers lasts a season or more and is a no-brainer investment.
